March Card Class - One Sheet Wonder

In this month's class we will create 5 cards using a sheet of A4 card stamped to create our own patterned paper. We will also be making a sliding box.

The class is on Saturday 16 March 2013 at 7pm. Cost is $20 and includes prepared kits for each project, ingredient lists and light refreshment.

Instructions for the projects will be put on the blog after the class.

Instructions for February class – Man Oh Man!

The first card is quite simple:

1. Cut the card into the following sizes:

Chocolate Chip – 21 x 14.85cm

Soft Suede – 10.2 x 14.35cm

Early Espresso – 5.4 x 2.2cm

Canvas Creations – 5 x 2cm

2. Run the Soft Suede card through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Embossing folder and then lightly rub Chocolate Chip inkpad across the front of the card.

3. Attach Early Espresso Grosgrain Ribbon (15cm) across the front of the Soft Suede card with Sticky Strip and fold the edges over to the back.

4. Attach soft suede to the front of the folded Chocolate Chip card with Tombow Glue so that you don’t flatten the embossing.

5. Thread the Linen Twine (10cm) through the button holes and tie with a knot at the back. Attach to the card with a Dimensional.

6. Stamp the sentiment from “Happiest Birthday Wishes” onto the Canvas Creations, and using a dauber, lightly sponge soft suede ink onto the Canvas Creations. Attach to the Early Espresso card using Tombow glue. Attach Early Espresso card to the card base using Dimensionals.

The second card uses Parkers Design DSP from the new mini catalogue:

Cajun Craze – 7 x 6.5 (5cm diameter circle)

Early Espresso – 5 x 5cm (1 5/8” circle)

2. Using Sticky Strip attach the Natural 7/16” Trim Ribbon (10cm) to the 5.5cm wide DSP and attach DSP to the front of the folded Cherry Cobbler card on the left side using snail or Glue stick. Stick the second piece of DSP onto the Cherry Cobbler card, overlaying the first piece by 0.5cm.

3. Stamp the sentiment from “Fourteen Phrases” onto the Natural White card and layer it onto the Early Espresso card. Attach the Cajun Craze circle and the Early Espresso / Natural White Circles onto the card base.

3. Stamp the boy on the 6 x 5cm Whisper White card. Attach to the rocket image, and cut around the outside of the rocket. Stamp the moon on the 4 x 4cm card and the sentiment on the 5.2 x 1.5cm card.

4. On one piece of the Summer Starfruit card, punch various sized holes, using Crop-A-Dile (or hole punches) and small sized circle punches. Attach this on top of the other piece of Summer Starfruit card to make the moon with craters. Attach to the bottom of the folded Midnight Muse card with Tombow Glue.
