March Class - Perfect Polka Dot Butterfly & Pillow Box Set

Perfect Polka Dot Butterfly Card & Pillow Box with Belly Band Set

Whew - that is one descriptive name for this class set, lol!

But what a fabulous set to swing into Spring with! This class is a dynamic one because of all the thrilling things we get to do with the Big Shot!.....embossing with Polka Dots using our Simple Impressions Folder, embellishing with beautiful Butterflies and a small favour box a la Pillow Box!

Then, using our newest punch - Scallop Border - it all comes together! Also features our latest scroll greeting & clear stamps......and some Sale-A-Bration paper too. Lots of goodies here. One greeting is for Easter! You can have the option of switching greetings for the sets - versatility is the theme!

Because...I designed this theme to give you two very different looks to demonstrate how versatile our products can be when you mix it up with different colours!

So we have a Shabby Chic look in the lavender & white with a dash of orange. And look at the Swiss Dots - they remind me here of those bedspreads my Aunts would have used many years ago, if any of you have had the same experience. So very quaint! My daughter came up with the idea of using the leaf stem as the antenna for the butterflies - clever girl!

Then, to mix it up - how about a more daring style with hot pink and black! I might be tempted to call it Miami Chic, lol! Not to give it away, but there is a surprise inside the card - keep you guessing!

So come and enjoy these - you make a 2 sets (1 card + pillow box = 1 set) each for the class. That will give you the option of having 4 separate items to give away, or 2 sets for 2 special people - or just leave them displayed in your home for others to admire.

Gothic Birthday Card

Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism! I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better? Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release. To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest! The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG ! So I had to do one! IT'S A EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT! GREAT KIDS PROJECT! We made ours after having breakfast and in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies: CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES: flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other: 1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
