Yesterday, I did my first workshop since returning from Canada.  I had very little time to prepare, so went for fairly simple cards.  These are the two cards I demonstrated yesterday.  The third project I demo’d was the Circle Circus scrapbook page that I posted a few weeks ago.

This first card was made by sponging a simple “sunset” background on glussy white paper.  I stamped the Upsy Daisy stamp over in Staz On to create a Silhouette image.  The card is finished off with Button Bouquet and taffeta ribbon.

Project Recipe:

Cardstock: Kraft, Summer Sun, Basic Black, Glossy White

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Ink: Summer Sun, Cameo Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Riding Hood Red, Staz On

Accessories: Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, Button Bouquet, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, Sponges

This is the card that the group made as a Make and Take.  I introduced the Stamp-A-Majig.  I met with a bit of resistance, as it looked tricky to them.  Once they tried it a few times, they all got the hang of it easily.

Project Recipe:

Carstock: Mello Moss, Ruby Red, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Stamps: Trendy Trees

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red, More Mustard

Accessories: Clear Rhinestone Brads, Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamp-A-Majig, 1/16″ brad punch

I’m busy packing up to move house in 10 days, I’ll try to post when I can but don’t count on too many extra posts in the next few weeks.  The Tuesday Trios will continue however as they are pre-loaded already.  Keep coming back for new ideas!
