Previous Card Demonstrations

Over the next few weeks, we will update the blog with pictures and, sometimes, directions for the sample cards that were made at the monthly meetings since we began in March. Each month, we try to have a different card type and members go away and make a card using the instructions, bringing it back to the next meeting.

We have had some beautiful cards made by the group since we began and hopefully, people will contribute the photos of their cards to the blog with a description of how they were made.

We will  also include links back to other blogs and websites for more information and other ideas.

This is the first demonstration card. It was based on a simple sketch and demonstrated how layers could be used to make a clean and simple (CAS) design stand out a little more.

The scalloped circles were cut using the Nestabilities Die Cuts and the Cuttlebug. The flower was a Tanda flower stamped, embossed and coloured. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

The second card was designed to show how the same colours and papers could be used, but adding a bit more zing with the inclusion of a third colour, As you can see in the picture, we added the purple ribbon and the brads. Still reasonably CAS, but has some impact.
