Christmas Crafting

A couple times during the fall I hold Saturday classes whereby we make 12 cards - Christmas cards, however, they are not all the same. We make 4 cards of 3 different designs. Everyone really liked the designs and colour choices. We made this yesterday!

So much fun!

Doily Days

I can't help but take some kind of everyday goody and put it on a card somehow. I do a lot of that with tidbits of things from the local dollar store too. 

This class and the help from Pinterest gave me some ideas for using paper doilies. Just love how they turned out. So delicate and sweet looking!

Hope you like them as much as I do.

Tie Dye Technique

Well I just love this technique. The colour combinations are endless. The only difficult part of the whole process is making sure there is enough water to smooch the colours together and not too much to wash them away.

A couple weeks ago the ladies did regular tie dye size cards and a shirt card. My first card didn't have enough water and the last one had too much. It was pure fun making these!

Joseph's Coat

Not only was Joseph an amazing individual in the bible who showed strengths and wisdom but also a wonderful individual who forgave his rotten scoundrel brothers. These "Joseph's Coat" technique cards also forgive a lot too. No need to be precise when putting down background colours of light autumn shades or baby softness hues to make the flowers and doves stand out here. Love this technique. I tried with large autumn blotches and baby sized small so the doves could soak up each colour. The final results... beautiful. I think so anyway. I need to get a better picture taking spot to capture the full beauty of these cards.

 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

New Beginnings Eclipse cards

Well, we're off to a good start of card making classes.  Old friends making new beginnings! What a fabulous night of card making. It was like we never stopped.  We did two cards (as always) same technique, two styles using different tools. They couldn't believe they made them.

Take a look at these Eclipse Cards

    Used the Misty for this one

    Used simple masking for this card

Autumn memories

I was going through some cards I had packed away for some time and came across this beauty we had made using dollar store goodies. Some simple inexpensive additions can make all the difference sometimes.

Some GREAT FUN making cards

Well, I am now a Grandma. He is now 1.5 yrs old and a handful. Full of energy, I'm hoping some of that will rub off on me.  Hahahahaha!!! I'll keep praying about that one😊.

I want to share with you some cards I've made over the last little while.

This card I made for my sister-in-laws recent birthday. I was also commissioned to make one for a girl still in post secondary school.

This was a fun card to make.

More commissioned work

What a great couple years I've been having doing nothing but doing lots!

I will be getting back into the swing of things next month, hopefully, and continue doing what I love to do most.

Thanks for stopping by!
