Hi All,
Today’s post may not be entirely new to some of my readers (I posted a picture of a box of these on my facebook page earlier this fall). These lil’ pockets will hold the average size giftcard and has a flap that folds over to keep contents in. I think they are pretty darling and look totally vintage.
I will be selling these in variety packs at an upcoming craft fair and will have them up on etsy for any who are interested in having an elegant addition to their holiday gifts.
Hi all,
I’m back with another card for the online card class. Today’s theme is to focus on cards that are classic and elegant. There were so many variations of cards today. It was interesting to see how each designer envisions classic and elegant.
For this card I wanted to try a version of a card created by one of the guest designers.
First I sketched out the design of an ornament.
For this card I needed many small shaped stamps. Here are a few that I pulled from my stash.
I slowly began stamping and filling in my sketch. Here’s the finished project!
I also enjoyed a card made to look vintage and classic and wanted to try that version of cards as well.
I love that this class makes me think outside the box and create cards using schemes that normally wouldn’t occur to me. Super fun!
Hi all,
I’m excited for my favorite holiday that is coming just around the corner – Christmas! To give myself a kick-start in creating cards I signed up for an online card class. Each day is filled with amazing inspiration and techniques that just make me want to sit and create for hours. I absolutely love it!
Today’s cards and lessons inspired me to create cards that follow a clean and simple theme. There are many ways to achieve this type of card style here are 2 techniques I tried.
One way is by using score lines and minimal colors. I shadowed the score lines from the ornament piece onto the card base as well (it’s very faint in the photo, but looks soft and subtle in person).
For the second card, I tried a tone on tone look. Here I chose 2 shades of red to create a background. For an added pop of color, I used a blue card base and a white banner to hold my sentiment.
Such a fun style to create and the possibilities are truly endless. I can’t wait to share tomorrow’s class projects with you all as well.
