Scroll down to see some great projects that we made at the last Tons of Techniques class using products from the new Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration (sneak peak!). If you live in or around the Morris County, NJ, area and would like to join me, my next class is scheduled for this Thursday evening, January 26th, and Friday morning, January 27th. Or check the link to my class schedule. Space is limited so let me know asap.
The focal point on this card is created using the Frosted Window technique. The set, Bordering on Romance comes from the Occasions Mini and coordinates with the new Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. The frame was made with the new Framelits Dies - Labels Collection that coordinates with the Apothecary Art stamp set. Other Mini caty products used here are Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon and Twitterpated DSP. I love the color combo in that new DSP!
Sale-a-Bration Sneak Peak -- The stamp set used here is Fresh Vintage from the SAB mini. Other SAB products used here...Everyday Enchantment DSP and the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack. These 3 products make up the special bundle available to hostesses whose workshop reach $400!! The border under the greeting was made with the Labels Framelits Die. Thank you to Patty Bennett for the idea.
This is a hybrid card (that means that part of the card is made using digital elements). In this case, the medallion was made using elements from the stamp brush version of P.S. I love you (also available as a stamp set in the Occasions Mini) in MDS (My Digital Studio) printed on our Whisper White card stock. The advantage of digital stamps...you can make them any size you want! The background was made by spraying the Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz (from the Occasions Mini) over a stencil made with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch. A piece of that stencil was used as the border on this card...it ends up with a beautiful shimmer. Got this idea from the Stampin'Up! demonstrator website video technique area...one of the perks of being an SU demo! It's hard to see from this photo, but I used Crystal Effects on the chocolate dipped part of the strawberry and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details (another Occasions Mini product) on the scallops of the medallion.
I often look at lots of samples online to get inspired to create class samples, and sometimes it's difficult to remember who's creations inspired me the most. I rarely CASE (copy and share everything) a project exactly, but if any of these projects appear to have been cased from a project on your blog, let me know, so I can give you credit.
Happy Stamping!
