"Quilting" (Workshop)

  

Quilting

Fee:  $15 or free with $30 catalogue order 
1 - 1 1/2 hours

If you're looking at this page, chances are you're a quilter.  Congratulations - you have more patience than I can ever hope to!  I love all of the little details you find in quilts, so why not do it with paper too?  In this workshop you will use a series of coordinating patterned paper (to match the season, of course) and embossing techniques to create a "quilt" for your cards.  You will try three different layouts to give you a variety of styles.  Once your quilt top is ready, you can choose from a variety of sentiments to finish it off.

Beyond the Garden II

 

Maybe I don't like yellow or orange, but who doesn't love hot pink?  Green happens to be my favourite colour, so when I saw the pairing of Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi, my heart leapt!  Usually I like a more muted pallete for my cards, but the brave flowers bearing their petals against the brutal Cariboo "spring" made me feel the urge to use some fun shades.

Beyond the Garden I

 

 As I've stated before, I hate orange.  Yellow isn't that far behind.  I know, I know.  It's the colour of sunshine, it's cheery, blah blah blah.  I just don't like it that much.  However, the new DSP from Stampin' Up has lessened my negative feelings towards this primary subtractive shade.

Springtime Vintage

In continuation using the Springtime Vintage paper, I came up with these 2 cards in an instant.  I love the different effects you can get from using different cardstocks.  The Rose Red made the first card super girly, while the Sahara Sand background of the other created a more gentle effect.  You can see my Decorative Label punch has made it onto two cards in a row.  I just got it and love love love it.
