Another Card Making Class At the Lasting Impression

I had another card making and distress ink coloring at the lasting impression last July 6, 2013 with a very ecstatic group of ladies who were somehow new to cardmaking. I was so happy because all of them were very enthusiastic and willing  to learn all through out the whole class.

Here are the cards we worked on:

this criss cross card with a gorjuss girl stamp theme which we embellished with miniature flowers on the side.

a flower embellished tilda with a pop up i love you message inside.

a princess pea tilda card embellished with miniature flowers, laces and pearls.

The whole day was a blast, not only because of the projects that we created but also because of the fact that the lovely students I worked with enjoyed what they were doing. I hope that I get the chance to work with them again in the near future

Princess Pea Tilda in a shadow box card

Here's my latest creation. I had time to work on this yesterday and came up with this very lovely shadow box card:

The Magnolia Stamp I used is the princess pea tilda colored with distress ink. I embelished the side with a rose that i sprinkled with white and gold enamel. I added some white tool around the card and used some florish cut outs. I also used a metallic blue embossing powder on the sentiment.

I am very happy every time I have the chance to finish a new creation and I cant start to make a new one.

My Latest Tilda Card

Here is my latest Magnolia Card. I colored Tilda with distress ink. The scissors was cut using tim holtz sewing edge. I used a spellbinders die cut for The frame where i stamped tilda. The zipper is from prima vintage trinkets. I embellished the side with some pastel colored flowers and a lace.

May 22 Card Making Class at the Lasting Impression

i had a class last saturday at the lasting impression and i would like to share to you the cards that i taught to the participants.

I prepared 3 sets of different cards for the class and i made sure that each card will stand out.

This is very simple and easy but its also a very interesting and fun to make card. Again, since I really really love Magnolia stamps, i used this Tilda with Dafodil stamp that we colored with distress ink. The dye cut i used for the window is from Memory Box and the Branch is from spell binder. The leaves and the flowers were made using punch bunch.

For this card, I used joyful tilda stamp which we also colored with distress ink. Tilda was cut using the spellbinder oval die cutter with scalops. I used the Magnolia die for the flowers and the joy fleur de lis die colomn that has a lace like pattern in the middle.

This is a center step card and I used a saturated canary stamp for the main theme. I embelished it with hand made flowers using the spellbinder die, the butterfly is a die from cheery lynn. The center background was cut using a marian die while the floral side embelishments were cut using a memory box die.

its such a shame that I wasnt able to take a picture of the class itself but Im happy that all of the participants had a wonderful time making this 3 unique cards.

May 11 Class at The Yellow Violet House: Water Coloring and Card Making with Exploding Box Mini Album

The projects I taught at for my workshop at The Yellow Violet House were all Mother's Day Inspired. I was lucky to share how to create a dainty card dedicated for moms.

Here are some photos of the card:

To make it more special I threw in some hand made flowers in the kit for the card itself. The hand made flower is very easy to make and believe it or not, i just used some of the many scrap papers that I have lying around. Thats why I highly recommend for everyone not to throw away scrap papers. It might be useful in your future proects.

Here's a photo of the finished product:

I also taught a very unique and special project really suited for Mother's Day. The Exploding Box Mini Album. When I was trying to make this project by myself for the first time, I was very excited with all the techniques and ideas I have in mind that I can use for it. I felt like it will be a very fun way to honor your love ones and really keep memories boxed up. Once the box is opened, an explosion of fun times through pictures can be showcased.

in the middle of the box is a cherry blossom tree. 

 Here's a photo of m student's finished product for the day:

 What a happy class it was!

For my mother's day special

Greetings to all the mothers and mothers to be. Its never easy to be a mom. Being a mother is a full time career with no hope for promotions and the only income you get is a smile and a kiss from your child. A never ending commitment and obligation that will guide them as the year pass by.


Happy mothers day everyone.
