Cards N Cuppa Class 10th March

Well everyone, I Hope that you had a fantastic weekend,
a new week means a new card class.
Thank you to all that attended today, This card class is available again this Friday night for anyone who is interested :)

This week was 4 cards, two large normal cards and two small ones (two smaller ones making up for the big one)

I will start with the hardest card for today.
A trifold French doors kind of card.

Using Lagoon card I made the card into a tri fold
The Lagoon card was cut at 8.5 x 5.5 Inches (making it when folded a standard card size)
I then used the CTMH scoring board to score the "French door" folds.
Scoring at 2.1 on one side, and then turning it to score at 2.1 on the other side

The panels on the doors are the CTMH blushed papers. Beautiful using either side of the paper.
The panels are cut at 1 3/4 x 5 1/4
The little tags are using colonial card stock, (these were originally rectangles, but because you could not see the lovely brushed papers behind the tags, I put them into little  flaggy tags)
Tags are 2 3/4 x 1.5, cutting down both to make the flags.

Stamped images on the card are from the CTMH stamp set " Your own kind of wonderful"
I used the Hollyhock ink on this one. Make sure when your stamping that two of the images are facing one way and just one is flagging the other way, so they form the card above.

This card was not too easy but def NOT a beginner card.








The next cards are nice and simple, not much to them at all.
One was just a panel of the Brushed papers, silver glittered tape (coloured in with markers)

the card to the left is so lovley, with a pretty little rolled rose on the side.
I am going to do a blog post on how to do them later in the week.





 The last card is soooo simple, all I used was the "Chalked up" paper packet, cut into a panel, then tied some of CTMHs new Flaxen extra thick twine.

Using a simple Happy birthday stamped onto colonial white card, and edges inked with Hollyhock.
This card says all it needs to, quick easy and can be done last minute!!!


Thank you so much for reading my blog post for today. Please give me any feedback. OR even just comment. It all matters.

March stamp of the month
CHOOSE HAPPY

TITLE:   Choose Happy S1503 :
CTMH Stamp of the Month Australasian Blog Hop

Hello and welcome aboard our Stamp of the month Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop.

If you have arrived here from
 Meryl Cheetham - Mez's Craft Room  then you are in the right place. If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.
Today I would like to share with you this lovely sparkly "you're special" card which features March Stamp of the Month S1503  available exclusively throughout March for $27 or for just $5 when you spend $75 of product

It was a little difficult for me to get some inspiration for this card, but it really did not take much..

Fussy cutting out the frame in the middle of the card, colouring it in and adding some of the teal glitter paper in the middle, then mounting the small saying "You're special" in the middle is a small but lovely touch.

I used the Archival Black and Lagoon Inks only in this card, and coloured in using the Shinhan touch markers of various colours  (which you would change to your own tastes)
I inked the edges for the final touch.

A very simple card, very sparkly and I LOVE this card.

Choose Happy is only available until the last day of March 2015 from me.
