Online Card Classes Kick Start Card

I enrolled in the Online Card Classes Kick Start course last fall, but for a variety of reasons, I didn’t make any cards.

 

After the tremendous mojo boost I got from the Clean and Simple 2 course, I decided to revisit the Kick Start materials!

I had a bunch of strips left over from my Neat and Tangled Valentine’s Card, so started with those and made a card based on one that Jennifer McGuire shared in the Kick Start class.

I am amazed time and again by how well the Hero Arts shadow inks work. I used the Soft Granite shadow ink for the “Awesome” sentiment and got a great impression. When first stamped it looks blotchy, but as it dries, it magically smooths out!

Supplies: ColorBox white pigment ink; Encore silver ink; Stampin’ Up gray cardstock; Spellbinders dies

CAS 2 Day Ten Card

I can’t believe that today is the last lesson for the Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2! Today’s lesson showed six ways on how to use the Technique Tuesday Bright Idea stamp set. I chose to create Jennifer McGuire’s card, a technically challenging masterpiece!

Here’s the card front:

CAS 2 Day Nine Card

I can’t believe that the Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 class is drawing to a close. I’ve enjoyed it so much!

Today’s lesson focused on adding texture to a card, including glitter. I created a card based on one shared by Jennifer McGuire featuring a pleated panel. Since I don’t have a lot of glitter, I die cut the heart from glitter paper.

I “ironed” these pleats with a bone folder more than I’ve ever ironed anything with pleats, and they’re still sticking up a bit! I need to flatten the card under a pile of books overnight.

Supplies: Hero Arts “My Happy” stamp; Savvy arrow die; Wplus9 Design Studio heart die; Spellbinders banner die; Hero Arts shadow ink; Neenah white cardstock; Stampin’ Up gray cardstock; Michaels glitter paper; Crate patterned paper

Another CAS 2 Card

In this card for Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2, I’m combining techniques from several class lessons – the illusion of dimension from Julie Ebersole’s Day Seven card and masking from Debby Hughes’ Day Six card. I also colored my cats like Debby’s.

Another CAS 2 Card

After masking and coloring the cats, I didn’t want to risk a mis-stamped sentiment, so I added a die-cut one!
