Clean & Simple Boutique Cards

 Clean & Simple Boutique Cards

Well, hello!  Welcome to today's project submission for the class Clean & Simple Boutique cards.  What an amazing class!  Who doesn't love a boutique first of all and then add clean & simple...I am in!  In this class we learned about simple styling, backgrounds you can make in a variety of ways to elevate your cards and many other fabulous techniques. 

I was inspired by the gorgeous Slim Deco Cover Die by Altenew.  

Hello Deco Drive, am I right!?  

 My other inspiration was the color Navy along with Gold.  I chose to create a luxury paper using Altenew Gold Foil Cardstock and the Slim Deco Cover die.  I just think this combo created a luxurious background.  I chose to keep it simple and heat embossed in gold the Build A Flower Coneflower by Altenew.  I just love the look of the white and gold on Navy.  To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Dotted Blooms stamp set on white cardstock and again, embossing it in gold.  
I hope you have enjoyed a little peek of technique from the Clean & Simple Boutique card class.  I hope this inspires you to create your own fabulous card fit for any boutique...remember to keep it clean and simple and remember, it's just paper!

Celebration: Stencil Techniques

  Celebration:  Stencil Techniques Let's Celebrate!  Every day is the perfect day to celebrate, but that is not why we are here today, right!  So the fabulous Laurel Beard led this cool class on stenciling.  I love stenciling!  So many fun techniques!  Which technique do you prefer?  Layering stencils, using stencils to dry emboss, stamping with stencils, creating texture with stencils...I could go on and on, but lucky for you, I won't!   Today I am sharing two cards with two different techniques using stencils.  The first card entailed stenciling with modeling paste otherwise known as embossing paste and/or texture paste, they are all basically the same thing.  The stencil used is the Leaf Bed stencil by Altenew.  I wanted to add a little bit of color to my modeling paste, so I smooshed some Greenfield Crisp Dye ink onto my craft mat and mixed it in with the modeling paste to give it this beautiful green color. ...
