Latest cards for Kids craft class!

These are the 2 cards the kids made at craft club last night after school. I used a stampin up stamp set with a selection of images which the kids chose from. There was a birthday cake, flower and tower of presents. I also let them choose their own cuttlebug embossing folder for their cards. We decorated the bottom of the matting with a stampin up border punch. The bird card was done using the stampin up bird punch and Close to my heart papers. The kids didn't put on a sentiment so they could use it for any occasion.

Close to my heart - Wings papers

I got this set from a friend for Christmas and decided to make something with it today. The butterfly papers have vibrant colours. I used a small strip at the side of the card and cut out some of the butterflies. These I attached with pinflair glue so they would stand proud from the card. I used the stamp phrase from the Wings stamp set for the sentiment.

Simple card!!

Backing paper is from Polka Doodles Sugar Birdies cd. The stamp is from Stampin' up. A simple card.

Hobby art as seen on tv!

Saw this card demonstrated by Jenny on Create and Craft. I ordered the stamp set Anna's collection special wishes and thought I would have a go. I masked off the end of the card and I stamped with stazon. I then watercoloured using dye inks. A piece of contrasting ribbon was placed along the masking point.

Loving couple card!

Yet another fab design from digitalstampboutique. I used the little rose stamp from Crafters Companion popcorn bear romance collection and versamark to give a watermark effect background. I coloured the image with my promarkers and I used my Martha Stewart border punch to add strip detail at the bottom of the card.

A little birdie!

I love this colour of card and just had to use it when it came from my Stampin' up demonstrator this week. The stamp is from Crafters Companion Clearly Hand Stamped set. The strip of paper is from Crafters Companion Swalk disk 2. I embellished with contrasting flowers gems.

Love card

Love this stamp. I was given the set by a friend - thank you! I stamped the background with the bird and love word using the same shade of ink as the card to give a watermark effect. I printed a contrasting paper from Forever Friends cd. I used the wing of the bird to stamp the corner detail. I mounted the stamped image onto kraft card.
