January Beginner Card Club

I'm introducing acetate in this class. If you've never heard of it, or stamped with it, you're clearly missing out on another really cool paper to craft with. The card I have posted here isn't quite finished....the final touches are somewhere in my mind. Or.....maybe they're in your mind. If you were going to add just a little more something....what would it be, and where would you put it?! Hmm.....You'll just have to come to class, won't you?!

Here's the extra supplies to bring to class if you have them:

White stazon ink

Flourish stamp/ stamp block if needed

Sentiment stamp

Glue dots

Foam pop dots

Scoring tool

Class will be on Thursday, January 27th from 10 am to noon. If you have any questions, or need to reserve your stamping spot, please call All About Pictures at 364-4141. I'm looking forward to seeing you again! ~Kim~

Well ladies....this is another VERY clean and simple card that was a lot of fun. Makes me think of plum pudding-as there are lots of purples on it-although I've never tasted plum pudding in my life! HeeHee! Here's the extra things to bring to class if you have them:

About a 1" snowflake stamp (up to 1 1/2" would be OK, too)

Small stamp phrase (to fit the tag)

Tag punch

The dye inks I used were: Milled lavender, dusty concord (Distress inks)

Raspberry and purple twilight (Ranger)

and I also used warm violet color box chalk ink
