Quick and Simple Cards

Tuesday Feb 5th Classes - Quick and Simple

For this week's classes we made 8 quick, simple cards,  using a range of Stampin Up ® products. It's always easy to choose a layout, and then slightly change the papers or rearrange them, to create different looking cards.  Our theme was CIRCLES!

The first card used the Subtle Embossing Folder to give texture to the front of the card, Natures Poem DSP for earthy masculiine tones and lastly tree from the Rooted in Nature stamp set.

We had fun combining different stitched shaped images - rectangles from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, from the new Occasions Catalogue along with the circle cut from the Stitched Shape Framelits in the Annual Catalogue. 

Our second card used the beautiful Share What You Love DSP, combined with Mint Macaroon and Rich Razzleberry card stock. don't be afraid to move the circle off the edge of the cardstock and trim it for a different look.

We tied the Linen Thread around twice tying it off with a bow, and added a small sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings.  

The next card used the Eastern Medallions Thinlits to cut the patterned window in the Whisper White card layer, which was adhered to the Bermuda Bay card base.

Using the Eastern Beauty stamp set, you can stamp any pattern across the Whisper White cardstock using the co-ordinating ink. The Bermuda Bay coloured circle also came from the same Thinlet set, and add another pop of colour.  

The cards were then finished off with Bermuda Bay ribbon.  

The last two cards used the delicate Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Speciality Paper, which peeks through the window.

We punched a window in the Whisper White cardstock, added Tombow in a circle behind then 'dropped' the laser cut paper onto the glue.  This is an easy way to attach this delicate paper without having to glue along its fine lines.

These cards used Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green as bases.

The edging was made using a scalloped circle, and a smaller plain circle thinlet through the Bigshot together, to create the fine frame.
