Online Card Class – Day 1

By Cards

onlinecardclass

Hi all,

As the title indicates, I’ve joined an online card class hosted by some of my favorite designers. You can find their class links here. I’ve already learned so many tips and tricks in one day and can’t wait to see what the rest of the class has in store. For today’s challenge we are to pay careful attention to craftsmanship and keeping our elements clean and crisp. Here is my take on today’s challenge. Enjoy!

Online Card Class – Bonus Day 3

Hi all,

Today’s bonus was pretty awesome! I loved taking a peek into other blogs to see what others are working on. For today’s card I decided to revisit the concept of “blank space” and create a card that had a large visual impact without too many elements.

Here it is! Enjoy!

Online Card Class – Day 4

By Cards

Hi all,

I’m now on day 4 of Online card classes and today’s card is one of my all time favs! Today’s challenge was to create a card that dominates in negative space, but still makes a statement. I absolutely loved Kristina Werner‘s take on the challenge – this girl gives me so much inspiration. Anyhow, I used her concept to create today’s card.

Here it is!

Online Card Class – Day 5

By Cards

Hi all,

We so we’ve officially completed a week of online card class and I think it was jam packed with awesomeness. Today’s focus was on stretching stamps in a way that is a little different then it’s initial use or changing the center focus of the stamp. I decided to look into my Christmas stamps and see if any of them could double for something else. The wreath here is from my Christmas Sentiments stamp set, but with a change in color – it looks very bright.

Here is my card:

KW Class - Spring Has Sprung

Card Base: Neenah Environmental Cardstock Desert Storm

Paper: Hero Hues Notecard, Neenah and Cream Vellum by Slice

Inks: Colorbox- Chestnut Roan, American Crafts Stamp markers

Embossing: Dry embossing – Cuttlebug folder, wreath embossing – Zing Leaf
