Made at SU class

Thinking Of You

I bought a new SU oval punch especially to use with stamped sentiments. Then whilst blog hopping I saw this great idea for using the same punch to make vases.
The flowers were stamped using Whispers marker pens instead of an ink pad (so I could use different colours on the same stamp).

Stampin' Up

Number two of five from our SU class.
I like this one because I already have the stamps at home and would not have thought to use them in this way. We used Pocket Silhouettes to make the wreath - a very versatile set in my opinion, we have used them a lot at class (I'm not on commission honest).

Stampin' Up

Number two of three from latest SU class.

We learn a new technique each week, this time it was stamping on acetate, the butterfly has an acetate overlay (bit hard to see in the photo).

Stampin' Up

Latest SU class, I loved this one.

We made three cards using a butterfly theme.

This card was hard to photograph due to the acetate front so looks nicer in real life. All materials SU.

Stampin' Up

This was the second of four cards we made at the recent SU class so all materials are SU.
It is the first easel card I have made and I shall explain why. I like looking at easel cards on other people's blogs etc, some of them are very clever. What has always bothered me though is if you are not sending the card to another crafter how will they know how to stand it up?
I did not think it would be immediately obvious IYKWIM.
When I brought this one home I gave it to Graham straight from the envelope. His first thought was I had made it wrong....I told him it was meant to be like that and told him it was an easel card to see if that gave him a clue.
Eventually he figured it out but said without the clue it would have taken him longer or he would have gone with his first thought that it was an error and just laid the whole thing flat!
So, I don't think I will be making many more of them, unless sending to crafters.

Our new local SU rep is holding regular classes at her house.

This was the first of four cards we made at a recent session. Good fun because I went with my mum and another lady from my card club and we have already signed up for the next one.

All materials are SU.
