Shimmery Butterflies

Over the weekend I had some time to myself to craft but then couldn't decide what to do, in the end I decided to case a card by Tami White. I used my faithful Butterfly Embosslit which has had a steady working out this last month. I have used the Mother of Pearl technique on the Butterflies.

Here's another of our Stamp camp projects, demonstrated by Bev Poultney.

I find Masculine cards are the hardest to make, mainly deciding on the design but this one would be perfect for my husband as he belongs to a couple of car clubs you can usually gaurantee if his club is having a sprint day at Pukekohe he will be there racing one of his cars. My mothers day card was an Easel card as is this card its just goes to show how versatile this style of card is, they are so simple to make and look great when open and on display.

Mothers Day Gift Set

In class last night my ladies made a Mothers day gift set, I saw a fabulous card on Catherine Poolers blog last week using the Two Tags Die and decided I wanted to case it, but I changed it up by making an Easel card to add the tag to, we also made a small gift with the Two Tags Die to hold two yummy chocolates which I had to stop myself from sampling. If you would like to learn how to make one of these sets as a birthday gift or other just send email me.
