October Technique Classes



This the Polished Stone card we will be making at Technique class this month,
this picture does not show how beautiful the tree sparkles with the tree tips touched with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  This is a very easy technique I learned from my upline Deena W. a few years ago and decided it would go great with the tall tree from Lovely as a Tree stamp set.




This is a a card I completely CASED from Dawn Olchefske, I loved her card and what's better than using our clear block D to make such a great background focal point. This card uses the French Foliage stamp set on page 14 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  You will notice I used one of the Antique Brads from the Idea Book &  catalog page 187, we are using these on 3 of our projects this month, they add a vintage look to our project.  I love them!



This card is made using Emboss Resist Technique, Autumn Spice DSP and Day of Gratitude page 12 of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  Cajun Craze is my favorite Fall color this year,  it has such a rich deep rust color to give detail to my card, plus you will notice I used another Antique Brad in the center of my medallion.




These are the 2 cards you can choose from for your bonus card this month, choose  either the Holly Jolly Christmas card that we saw at Stampin' Up! Convention in July, using one the Antique brads,
or for us here in OSU Buckeye land you can choose the Go Bucks card.


This is the Deck the Halls Embellishment Share I have going on for October And November, 
$10.00 and you will receive 6- 6x6 Deck the Halls DSP sheets, 5 Antique Brads, 12 vintage trinkets,
1 yard each of Chantilly and Victoria Crochet trims and 1 yard each of Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke seam binding . Plus 2 -  5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheets of Cardstock  This is a opportunity to make a few Vintage style Christmas cards with the coordinating embellishments. 

This month I am featuring both Stamp Sets- 
Days of Gratitude and French Foliage
order either set during October and receive supplies
( includes Autumn Spice DSP) 
to make two cards using your new stamp set, these will be delivered with your order.

Do you live out of the Zanesville area?  no problem
Email me to order either the Deck the Halls Embellishment Share,

September Technique classes

Hello Ladies,

   We are kicking the fall season off by making 2 different Halloween cards, one is a belly band card I fell in Love with at Stampin' Up! convention by Heather Summers and then a card I came up with that features the new spider web embossing folder and the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP and the Wicked Cool stamp set.

  I am very sensitive to the fact that all my stamping friends do not want to participate in Halloween, so during September and October any time we make a Halloween card during class I will have a Fall card alternative. So  here they are, the 1st card was one of our make and takes from convention and the 2nd card is the fall Belly band card.



The 3rd card is a technique card we made at convention as a make and take using a water color technique with a matching envelope.





The bonus is using the new candy wrapper Big Shot Die that is in our new Holiday Mini Catalog on page 10.   You will get to use the new waffle paper and paisley party roller to make treat box.

Pictures to come???

Thanks for looking Cindy

August Technique classes 2010



Hello everyone,

   Technique classes this month we are going learn to use builder wheels to make a birthday card and make the 3 cards I made for convention swaps.  I can't wait to see you at class this week.


We are going to tackle (football is in the air) builder wheels, you will make a birthday card like the one above.  I know these colors are way out of my color comfort zone, but I really did like the way this card turned out.  Thanks to Emila ( one of new downline ladies) you will be able to get happy birthday where you want it, not the appy Birthday Cindy was getting on her 1st attempts.

 

This is one of my swap cards from convention that we will be adding a little bling to.  We will be using the Dazzling Diamond glitter and the new awesome pearls from page 188 in  the new idea book & catalog. This is my new go to wedding card.

 
This is my second convention swap card we will be making, yes we get to use Smooch Spritz. 
 Thank goodness for the Color Catcher ( I HIGHLY recommend) because who knows which direction our smooch will want to go on class day.




This is my 3rd convention swap card,
I love the Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Soft Suede combination.
You will learn to make the flower in the center of this card, which gives a great textured look.


Thanks so much for looking,
 Cindy

June Technique classes

We are going to kick off Summer with a goodbye to some of our favorite Stampin' Up! products that will be retiring at the end of June.  Close to Cocoa and Kraft Cardstock are going to missed along with the star brads on the faux pinwheel card.




My pinwheel card uses the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper, to give this card a summer feel.
Thanks to Barb Mullikin for the great tutorial and  inspiration for this fun card.




The Sweet Scoops card was inspired by a combination of ideas, Connie Babbert for the fun Shaving cream technique we will be doing with this card using pretty in pink, certainly celery, soft suede reinkers to give a Neapolitan ice cream look.  Lisa Freeman's card used the wooden ice cream scoop and sundae bowl so I CASED parts from both ladies great ideas. The lighting for this picture wasn't the greatest, so I'll try again to get a better shot, so maybe my sparkle will show up better.




The easel card we will be making can easily be a Fathers Day Card or a birthday card.  We will use the King of the Grill stamp set, watercoloring techniques and retiring close to cocoa and ruby red cardstock and chocolate corduroy buttons.



The bonus card is using retiring brilliant blue and kraft cardstock and a jumbo grommet.  We will use the new July Fourth stamp set and a sneak peek.

June is bring a friend to Technique class month.
If you bring a new never been to the Bat Cave before friend
 to class with you during the month of June you will get your class 1/2 off.
Please RSVP for both you and your friend.

Thanks so much Cindy
