Day 1 of Clean & Simple Card Making



These are two cards from Day 1 of the Clean & Simple Card Classes by Kristina Werner and Maile Belles. Both cards are quite different from each other and very fun to make. It was actually harder for me to make the flat card than it was to make the layered look. I don't know why....I guess I tend to want to layer things more and it was a little out of the box from what I usually do. I really had to rely on a steady hand! Card 1:Recollections Card Stock Aqua w/envelope; Stamp: Hero Arts Flower Dot Background; Ink: Hero Arts Soft Pool Shadow Ink; Versamark Ink; White Gel PenEmbossing Powder: Americna Crafts Zing White; Punch: Stampin Up Mini Heart; Tools: Paper Cutter; Adhesive: Dimensionals by Stampin Up! Card 2: Cardstock: Whisper White by Stampin Up!; Markers: Copic....various colors; Ink: Verifine Black; Die: Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words; Stamps: 'Simply You' by Technique Tuesday and 'Everyday Sayings' by Hero Arts; For some great ideas stop by these websites! Jennifer, Kristina and Maile are behind just some of the inspiration on day 1 of this great class! http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/ http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/ http://mailebelles.blogspot.com/

Supplies: Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Not Quite Navy 'Patterns' DSP. Rub-ons: 'Fashion District'.Ribbon: 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain 'Crushed Curry'. Punch: 'Scallop Trim Border'.Embellishments: Trinket Key, Corduroy 'Summer Sun' and 'Daffodil Delight' brads.Misc: Sticky Pages, Heat Embossing tool, Sizzix Circle #2. This was fun because I tried a technique I hadn't ever tried before. Did you know that if you use a heat tool you can crumple the ribbon? It works best with satin.....but has some interesting effects on other kinds as well. Can't wait to try it on some other projects. Thanks for the challenge 411! To make a flower : Cut a circle of Sticky Pages (I used the Sizzix Circle die #2...the 2nd smallest). Take the 'red' side off. Cut about a 12" piece of ribbon.
