Cards For Day 4 - Holiday Card Workshop

Hi there!

I've got a quick post for you tonight. I need to get to bed earlier because I'm trying to fight off a cold and cough I feel coming on - yuk! We are also bracing for a big winter storm headed our way. We're suppose to get more than a foot of snow Monday and Tuesday - bigger YUK! Unfortunately, I also have to drive to work and back at the heaviest times of the storm on Monday. Not looking forward to that AT ALL!

I do have a couple of cards to share. They were both created for day 4 of the online card class, Holiday Card Workshop.

This first one is a take on Jennifer McGuire's fun, partial die-cutting technique.

Such a fun card to make! Here's a close-up.

And my second card is a take on Laura Bassen's beautiful card, using lots of masking.

Sorry for not sharing links to products used. I'm too tired, so if you have any questions, please ask in a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I'm hoping to be back in a couple days with a card or two from days 5 and 6 of class. That is, if I feel well enough to create and if I make it through all that snow! Lol!

Thanks for the visit! ♥
 

Days 2 and 3 - Holiday Card Workshop

Hi there!

I'm really enjoying the Holiday Card Workshop! Day two was all about interactive cards. I was excited because I just received a new stamp set from Art Impressions called, Snowman Shaker. It comes with an action wobbler and it was so fun to play with!

He is such a cute snowman! I colored him with Copics and stamped the extra, middle portion to attached it with the action wobbler. Here's a close-up of the wobbling.

Hee, hee! Makes me happy! I used the Stitched Slopes and Hills die set for the snowbanks and also the Falling Snow Stencil with embossing paste, both from Simon Says Stamp.

Day 3 of class was about watercolor cards. The designers' cards were all fabulous but my favorite was by Dawn from WPlus9! She is an AMAZING artist with so much talent! She created a woodgrain background with watercolors and a wreath too. Here is my take.

I can't tell you how gratifying it was to actually create something like this! Although, without Dawn's guidance and video, I would never have been able to do it. She is so inspiring! I used Distress inks and markers along with the Woodland Wreaths set from WPlus9.

That's it for me. Once again, I am up very late so I can share a blog post. I never seem to find time to do it earlier in the day or evening. Thank you for stopping by - I'm so glad you did! ♥
