Next Stampin' Up! Class - 9 July 2011

Hi all,

Another great class with the ladies today, playing with the Big Shot and the lovely Fun Flowers Bigz L Die, exclusive to Stampin' Up! These cards were inspired by a few cards online.

These cards were made today which we found were very quick and easy to make as the die makes it a quick way to layer and make an effective flower:

Card One



On the ladies cards, they clear embossed their sentiment which made it more effective and stood out from the patterned background paper.

Vintage Vogue Card

Hi all,

Hope you're well and looking forward to the weekend.

I've been playing with my Vintage Vogue stamp set of 8 stamps (that I received at Reading Training) to make a few 4x4 cards for a lucky Hostess and really have enjoyed playing with the different stamps to create five different cards and matching envelopes. I recently ordered the Very Vintage wheel to co-ordinate with Vintage Vogue stamp set and christened it for this card.

Here's the card I demoed below at a recent workshop. I will upload a new one each day and then the final holder I presented them in.
