Online Class Inspiration

 Hi again, I have more cards inspired by my Online class, this first one is a CASE of Shari s fabulous card.  I love the way she shaped the bottom edges of her card to give it more texture.

This second card was inspired by this beautiful card that Lizzy made and is also taken form Day 5 of the classes and a card that Debby Hughes made.

I made this card to use up some scraps I had after playing around with my distress inks, the snowflake is really bright and sparkly but I couldn't seem to get a good photograph of it! I am adding this to the current challenge at "Die cut Divas"

I still have loads more Christmas cards to make and I am running out of time!!

Online Class Day 4

I have been having serious computer issues and have been told by my friendly computer expert that my computer is on the way out!!  Hubby and I are hoping to get a new one next week but in the mean time I am struggling with a very sick computer,  I have managed to watch another online class and have created these two cards based on the ones Shari Carroll made on day 4.  I love her CAS style and even managed to stick to the non traditional colours!

The cards are alot brighter in real life but as the weather is so dark and dreary these are the best shots I can get.  Hope ypou are having a better week than me and I am hoping to catch up with my favorite blogs soon. I am also hoping that I won't be off line for too long.

Online Card Class Day 3

I have made two cards today inspired by two cards that Shari Carroll created for the Holiday Workshop Online classes.  The idea is to use lots of layers but to still have CAS cards with lots of white space.  This first card is really simple and would be great for mass production!

This second card is made using stamping ( the chevrons on the card and the square die cut) patterned paper and chip board shapes. I love the shaped edge to the card front, I didn't have the die that Shari used so just drew around a plate and cut free hand. I love this effect and will definitely be using it again.

I have a fairly free weekend so hope to making lots more cards!!

Online Class

Another card cased from Day 1 of my online card class, this three fold card is based on Jennifer McGuires "Christmas Tree Card".  I decided to go with the fold but add this snowflake tag shape to the front.  The base is stamped with the same stamp as the snowflake base, the Hero Arts "Merry Background"

I am adding this to the current Hero Arts Challenge "A few of my favourite things" as I love to get inky and play with mixing my Distress inks.

Its been a busy this week at work and I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend!!

Online Card Class

I am taking part in the Holiday Card Workshops this year after winning a slot over at Debbys Blog , thanks again Debby.  This is the first time I have taken part in one of these classes and am really looking forward to trying out some new ideas.

 This is my first card, from Day 1,  its all about the inside this time, making a card with a pocket for a "Gift Card".  I had fun with this one, casing the original design, but changing a few things to suit the stamps and embossing folders that I already have.

This is the inside of the card with a coffee shop card placed in the vellum envelope.

I am looking forward to playing with some more ideas at the weekend,  I have got a busy few days so probably won't have time till craft till then!
