More Christmas

This was one of my favourite cards from Saturday.  It's a simple one but also quite striking with the tulle.  Unfortunately the colour in the photos is wrong - it should be more like the last photo - Cherry Cobbler - a very rich deep red, not pink. 

 

The Santa is from Tag It, one of Stampin' Up's promotions which gives $3 for every set sold to Ronald McDonald House Charities.  The sentiment is just the top and botton cut from the Santa image and joined together with a bit of Cherry tulle behind.

And this card is another easy card to make using the Honeycomb embossing folder and Christmas papers. 

 

Another interpretation

Think back to the cards designed for the class on Saturday a while ago.  I thought you may be interested to see the same design in different colours.  

Occasionally I just have the basics cardstock cut out and let people choose their own colour scheme for cards.  I find it interesting to see what colours other people put together and the way they think.  Now there was a bit of discussion about the colour scheme in these cards because they were my least favourite of the in colours; Pistacchio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe.  But I was proved wrong.  They do actually look good together.  Jean, a public apology - sorry for doubting you. 

 

And then the honeycomb card and its different versions. 

I have heard some people always make 2 versions of the same card, just in different colours.  Probably not a bad idea. 
 

More Saturday cards

This week I will show you the final cards made last Saturday at our class.  I love our get togethers - they are such a great bunch of people, very generous, caring and clever.

Our first card was made using the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and then after chosing a colour scheme and embossing scrap cardstock, hexagons were cut out and glued randomly.  The hexagons were easy to cut out as you just cut inside the embossed edge.  I had to put some bees on for embellishments as it was honeycomb.

 

Now the colours don't look that great in these photos but it was better in real life.  But a bit pale.  So this is the more colourful version; Real Red and Night of Navy.  Much brighter, and a sentiment to match the hexagons.  I just photocopied the punch shape from our catalogue, enlarged it and then used that as a template for the sentiment.  

 

 

Butterflies and Doilies

This one is my favourite from Saturday.  It's a very feminine and elegant card using one of the new doilies.  Took me a while to pull this one together, but I think it works.  

Most of the supplies are from the Seasonal Catalogue including embossing folder, doily and flower trim.  The butterflies and hearts are inked with Whisper White and white embossing powder and the tag coordinates with the Pool Party cardstock.
