Workshop Recap
In case you weren’t able to make it to the workshop on the 19th here are the projects we made. We had so much fun. I wanted to use a little more challenging bundles Forever Lovely and Meant To Be. While these bundles are a little more challenging, they are meant to allow you to make some amazing projects. You just need to learn to use them one time and you’ll be hooked!
I took the most designs from our 2019 Occasions Catalog. I wanted to make Valentine’s Day cards and incorporate all occasion cards as well. I think I was able to do that. Look at the beautiful colors and the great embellishments I used. So delicate and pretty.
When I say that these bundles are challenging, that is true but only to a certain extent. If you know how to properly use the Framelits, Thinlits and Edgelits, they’re pretty easy to use. Take a close look at these projects and let me know if you need help using the bundles. Once you have made your own projects with them, send them to me and I will post them on my Blog.
This beautiful Happy Birthday card was so easy to make. I used the Forever Lovely stamp set for the flowers in the middle and the Happy Birthday word stamp from All That You Are set. I accented it with All My Love DSP, All My Love Ribbon and the leaves and sprigs were die cut out of the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies in Soft Sea Foam card stock. I colored the epoxy accents with the Lovely Lipstick Blends pen. I used Whisper White card stock and Flirty Flamingo card stock which made the card pop!
This card is featured in our Occasions Catalog on page 3. I liked it so much I didn’t have to change it much. I need so many birthday card and this one especially is so pretty with all the different colors. I used the All That You Are stamp set and the matching Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies to cut out the flowers. I used our new color Balmy Blue card stock as well as Balmy Blue ink. I love that color. It’s such a perfect blue and so versatile. I made the ribbon with Night of Navy medium Bakers Twine. Did you notice the Vellum? It’s kind of subtle but adds such a nice accent. This one was a big hit at the workshop.
How pretty and elegant is this card? While I have to admit this card need a little TLC while lining up the corner dies, the end result is so pretty. I again used the Forever Lovely Bundle for stamps and Edgelits but I kept the continunity of the card with the All My Love DSP, All My Love ribbon and All My Love cardstock. I especially like the rose on the top left of the center piece of the card. It’s an Edgelits Die what you put on the corner and it cuts around it and the end result is the rose ends up being a part of the card. How cool is that? It’s very easy and so pretty. I love it.
This card is also featured in the Occasions Catalog on page 4 along with the card above. Again, I used the Forever Lovely Bundle and all the All My Love Suite of product. I used Lovely Lipstick color for the roses and dauber technique behind the die cut flowers. Did you notice how the Edgelits not only cut out the flowers but it also embosses on the edges. So unique and pretty. I love the versatility of the All My Love DSP. I used it on each of these cards and didn’t have to duplicate any of the paper. One of my new favorite colors is Granny Apple Green, which I used on the leaves. Soft Sea Foam is a keeper color. It’s so pretty and unique and not over powering at all. It adds just the right touch of color with the sprigs. A little secret, I’m giving this one to my husband for Valentine’s Day. I’m not giving anything away as I know he’s on my mailing list for my Blog, but I know he doesn’t read the entire post! Ha!
This last card was super easy yet I think it looks like it’s super fussy. I use the amazing new Lace Dynamic TIEF. I didn’t even spray it with water before I ran it thought the Big Shot, and look at the dynamic impression it made. On this card I used the Meant To Be Bundle. The big take away from this bundle are these cool Framelits Dies. Not only are they hearts but there are a few stitched hearts and bunched hearts and hearts, hearts, hearts! There are 16 dies total in the set and they can be used to make a variety of cards, not only Valentine’s Day cards. You can get really creative with this bundle. I used Calypso Coral and our new Grapefruit Grove cardstock to put this card together. I added a pop of color with the yellow (Daffodil Delight) rose. I used the Calypso Coral Blends to color the clear epoxy accents.
