September Techniques and Fancy Folds Class

Normally, I like to wait a few months in between offering Techniques Classes, but when I worked out these designs and layouts, I just couldn't wait!  Not only are they very unique and fun, but they also use some of the most gorgeous printed Designer Papers ever, making them all irresistible!  Read on and see if you agree!

The upper left card has been called the "Impossible Card".  When you look at it, it's a bit of a mystery how it works, and also how it's made!  From a single piece of flat cardstock, you'll learn how to cut and fold the base to create this really interesting card.  Add the beautiful new Frosted Floral Designer Papers, with their pearly finish and some of my favorite colors, and this card will be just so fabulous that you'll have a hard time giving it away! In fact, the hardest thing was trying to decide which side of the papers to use, I love them all!

To the right is a Glitter Window Card that has a special partially-embossed center area around the wreath .  Both are rather simple techniques when you see how it's are done, but very effective and fun to try out. The card also shows off one of the newest embossing folders, Swirls and Curls, sure to become another favorite.  Did you see how the inside message is hidden from view when looking at the front?  Other word options will also be available to use.

The bottom card has a diagonal fold that may make your recipient smile with delight since it's rather unexpected.  Although it's easy to cut, there are a few tricks about getting the right angles going and measuring the matted layers that you'll want to know and understand. Note we are also using the stitched shape die from Stitched Seasons Framelits, only available until the end of August so hurry if you don't have this one yet!

The best thing for you is that there are printed measurements and instructions for all of these cards, which are always included in my Techniques and Fancy Folds Classes so that you can reproduce these little gems at home yourself.  Most of the stamps and supplies are from the new Holiday Mini catalog, which goes live on Sept. 1.  So be sure to save the date, bring a stamping friend, and come on over for some really creative fun!
