Some More Class Cards

Here are some more of the cards I designed for the Little Claire class that I taught on Saturday of last weekend - these are also from the 'Made for Men' class.

The first one (above) is a tag card made using the 'Seascape' stamp set.  It's one I hadn't used before but I really like the images and the little life saver and anchor fitted perfectly on the bottom of the panels of the card.

Next an easel card using one of the new Super Six Men stamps - this one is called 'DIY'.  A very useful stamp for men's cards - you probably can't see it in the photo but the little sign hanging on the stepladder reads 'gone to the pub'!!  I also used some buttons from 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set' - coloured, cut out and then glazed with Glossy Accents.

And finally a card made with one of the images from the new Men's A4 Die Cut Sheet - I wanted to use the 'Man Tree' image as part of the class but because it takes a little while to colour in, I decided the die cut was a good compromise!  Again I've used the buttons and some cross stitching from 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set' - the gingham paper makes the stitching stamps really easy to use!

Some challenges for my cards:

Dream Valley Challenges - 'just for men'

Crafty Sentiments Design - 'shaped not square'

The Stamping Boutique - 'shaped cards'

The Paper Shelter - 'fancy folds'

Oh Man!

Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I made for the 'Made for Men' Little Claire class I taught on Saturday of last weekend.  We made a total of six cards during the three hour class but today I'm sharing two we made using the 'Oh Man' stamp set from Little Claire.  

In the first card (above) I paper pieced the chair and foot stool and then decoupaged the newspaper and the little dog.  

For my second card (above) I made a twisted easel card using the tie image and also the little socks image.  I used some of the new Craftwork Cards newsprint Candi coloured with Promarkers to finish the card off.

I'll share some more of my cards plus the ones I made for the other class (using the 'Butterfly Tree' stamp set) later in the week.
