Online Card Class - Day 1

Hi!

I'm back again with a couple of cards, but this time they're for the Clean and Simple One Layer Cards 3, online class.

I loved all three cards and videos today - such fun techniques! The lesson was Faux Effects and Shari Carrol's card, using ghost stamping, was really awesome! Here's my take:

 

I used the Balloons Die from Simon Says Stamp to create a shaped card. I cut a bunch of colorful strips of cardstock and adhered them to the card base. I then took three different sized star stamps from Simon Says Stamp's, Birthday Balloons clear set and stamped them first with VersaMark Ink, then again, a bit off-set, with Color Box Frost White ink. Love the effect! The inside of the card is stamped with a Happy Birthday sentiment from the same set.

My next card is a take on Debby Hughes' technique of layered die-cutting. Not sure if I really got them as layered as I could, but it was fun trying!

I used some pretty paper from Prima's Fairy Rhymes paper pad, cutting it with the Circle Card Border Die from Simon Says Stamp. Then I cut it again with the Heart Parade Die and once more with Memory Box's Perched Reed Bird. I added a few gems and a SSS sentiment.

I really enjoyed the first day of class and am so happy I have the week off from work to play with all the lessons! Yay! :)

Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it! ♥
