May Technique Class

This past Sunday was my monthly technique class. Here are the projects we made this month. First, we did this cute matchbox using the new matchbox die for the big shot and other goodies from the Occasions Mini catalog:

Ingredients:

• Great Friend stamp set
• Walk in the Park Designer Series paper
• Basic Grey and Whisper White card stock
• Cameo Coral and Basic Grey Ink
• 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon
• Matchbox Die & Big Shot
• Glue Dots and Sticky Strip

Next we will be making this Mother's Day card. For this card I will be demonstrating using the sticky pages and glitter with the Big Shot as well as the new Circle Scissor Plus.

Ingredients:

Next I demonstrated the faux felt technique with this card. The faux felt piece is the close to cocoa piece on the bottom. I pretty much CASEd this layout from this card here. For this card I also dipped the brad from the vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware set in craft ink and then wiped with a paper towel to get the color in the grooves.
