Week 10 - Card 1 - Black & White Nostalgia

This card was designed by Jenelle and designed to show the ladies in class something they had not done before. It's always fun to learn new techniques and we try to offer a wide range of different card making techniques. This one had two new techniques in it for many of the ladies. Firstly we used and embossing folder from Provo Craft and a template that Jenelle had made from chipboard. It enabled us to emboss the card front while leaving the middle section blank (unebossed). We then used Labels 13 from Spellbinders to create a frame. Next was the stamping and embossing...something many of the girls had never tried before. The stamp used was from Inkadinkadoo and its called Nostalgia. We simply stamped it with pigment ink and embossed it with super fine black embossing powder from Stamp It.

The flourish is from Quickutz and the flowers were edged with a black Copic marker.

Sketchy Paint Spills

In the last edition of Australian Simply Cards I had a coffee break feature. In this feature was this simple stamped card. It has been a very popular card, I guess partly for it's simplicity and partly for it's versatility. I really can be used for any gender and any age group just by swapping some colours. Here is how I made this card - for those who may have missed the magazine. Instructions 1. Cut an A4 sheet of white cardstock in half at 14.8cm x 21cm . 2. Score and fold in half at 10.5cm. 3. Cut another piece of white smooth cardstock to 14.3cm x 10cm . 4. Stamp the sentiment with the Versafine ink in the bottom right corner. 5.
