Everyone made 4 of these cards - 2 with a wild wasabi base & 2 with a real red base. Truth be told, I was initially going to use my preferred combo of ruby red & wild wasabi, but Kellie convinced me that real red looked great too....and she was demonstrating the card at the class, so I went with it! We got the dazzling diamonds glitter out again for the red flowers, except that I took pics of some un-glittered ones (sigh!)
Thought you might like to see this minor variation too. I like how the swirly 'peace, love, joy' greeting from 'Occasional Greetings' works so well with the Baroque swirl too & I really just wanted an excuse to use some real red ribbon.....and shhhhh, the greeting & flower are actually stamped in ruby red! Supplies
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Many Merry Messages, Occasional Greetings
Card: Real red, wild wasabi, very vanilla
Ink: Real red, wild wasabi
Accessories: real red grosgrain ribbon
I first saw the pizza box idea
The box is made all in one piece & looks just like a mini pizza box, as you can see here. My finished box dimensions are 8cm x 8cm x 2.5cm.
Here are all the card designs I included. Those good with maths will realise there's 4 cards missing - I doubled up on 4 of my favourites! No doubt, you'll also realise that I used 'Season of Joy & Short & Sweet (again!), & the fab Merry Christmas stamp from "Occasional Greetings'. The card colours are, vanilla, garden green & real red & very simple. If you'd like more information, just let me know.
I tweaked Jane's colour theme a little by swapping in some old olive, as I wanted to use some of the spotty & stripy paper from the fun & funky 'Dashing' designer paper pack. Again, all the stamps are from 'Season of Joy'. I've added some bling to by using a small red rhinestone brad the star on the tree star & a large one to attach the real red ribbon.
If you'd like to see more folders, you can find the original folder I found & made
The layout of this card was inspired one I saw in 'Impressions', our monthly Stampin' Up! Demonstrator magazine. Again, in keeping with Jane's red & green Christmas theme, the colours are wild wasabi, garden green, real red & very vanilla. I've also used the 'Season of Joy' stamp set (which has got to be one of the most flexible Christmas sets don't you think?). I must confess that I am soooo not a real read & garden green Christmas girl, so the colours were a bit a challenge for me initially, but thanks to Jane, they have grown on me – especially with the real red ribbon (right
Anyhoo, it's time for bed for me. I'll be back next time with a dashingly cute gift card folder I made for Jane. Stay tuned & happy stamping in the meantime.
For these ones, I used real red, wild wasabi & whisper white. I wheeled the box base with the 'So Swirly' wheel & real red ink. The snowflake stamp is from 'Season of Joy' & the spiky circle is made with the scallop circle punch.
For this one, I used very vanilla card, stamped with the swirl & flower stamps from 'Season of Joy' in wild wasabi & real red ink.
I'll be back tomorrow with the another project from the workshop, as I'm too tired to type any more tonight.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
For this card, I wanted to get a feel for the layout, so I just changed some of the colours & paper & used circles to create a scalloped edge instead of a spiral punch edge. The butterfly is rock & rolled in pretty in pink & rose red ink & raised on dimensionals. The paper is from the Petals & Paisley pack. I liked how it turned out so then I made this one.
I clear embossed the polka dot background on the top of a barely banana base & layered strips of pretty in pink & celery card with white grosgrain tied knotted around them. I rock & rolled the large flower from 'Bodacious Bouquet (a set that I struggle with for some reason, even though I've seen lots of fab cards with it) in almost amethyst & lovely lilac ink & added some pretty in pink brads to the centre. I stamped the greeting in lovely lilac, punched it out with the word window punch & layered it on 3 more word windows.
This last card came together a little backwards, but I was really happy with the end result. I decided to use 'Always' as it has such beautiful images. I stamped birdie in pomegranate ink, cut him out & stuck him onto some stamped pretty in pink & cocoa card. Then I made some faux flower brads by stamping some little flowers, punching them out with the ¼ inch circle, layered them up on 2 more circle layers & made them shiny, by clear embossing them. That made birdie a little unhappy that he wasn't shiny too, and so I inked him up with my versamark pen & clear embossed him too! This was the first time I've tried this & I was really happy with how it turned out...but you'll just have to trust me that it's shiny as my pic is not showing it! Finally, I tied some pomegranate ribbon around the front & used a yummy 'Cherished Memories' rub-on to finish it off.
and here's my card.
The set I've used is 'Always' from the
