June & July Classes at Scrappy Hollow

Thank you to everyone who came to my classes this week. It was so lovely to see everyone again and to watch you make this months cards.  I love teaching and thank you all for supporting me by attending class.  Here is what we made!

 

These cards were designed with the little girl/young teen in mind.

 

For the first card we created a mini pinwheel and a ledge styled fold to attach the pinwheel to the card.

 

This second card had lots of layering and the blue label piece opened on the front of the card so you could add a sentiment.

 

After working frantically on the first two cards the little gift pocket and last card came together quite quickly.

 

 

 

The papers were My Minds Eye - My Girl and we used the 6x6 paper pad for the projects.  Teaming this paper up with seam binding and ivory card stock made sure all the colours came to life.

Just wanted to share a few more cards that I have been making with some of my favourite Scrapmatts pieces and some of the divine new June release items.

Make a Wish

I have to admit I just love butterflies and usually sneak one onto many of the cards I create!  I particularly like the CB1158 Butterflies 20 set as you get a multitude of butterflies in many sizes which are just so much fun to use on smaller scaled cards.  Here I used three different sized butterflies to give the illusion of them flying off into the distance as the recipient “makes their wish”.   The butterflies were white and I coloured them with a gold glitter gel pen.   The inked leafy sprays were trimmed down and teamed up with some of my die cut rolled flowers. I decorated some of those very cute fishtail flags and trimmed the outer two down to make narrower pieces.   The “make a wish” sentiment was altered with an adhesive eraser – I just simply used it to lighten up the surface.

Gears for the Boys!

I just knew I had to play with the awesome mini gears to make these two male/boy inspired cards.

I coloured the cogs with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink then coted them with the matching distress embossing powder to give them a grungy rusted look.  The little robot was made by hand from scraps and the hands, feet and mouth were cogs cut in half.  The chevron pieces were inked with a versa colour ink pad.  I just love these new chevrons there are so many different ways you can use them! For this card I decided to use all the different sizes in a row.

Happy Travels

 

This month Scrapmatts are releasing some very cute travel inspired scrap words. I love how some are pre made on little tags as they are just perfect to go straight onto projects.  I have tied these mini tags onto the card with hemp twine to form a little banner of sentiments then teamed it up with some of the black Scrap Words 09.
