I Went To A Stamp Class!

By chance I went to a stamp class on the weekend & here is some of what we did! I didn't know I was even going until the last minute! Threw some 'basic' stamping stuff in a bag, grabbed some (equally basic - long boring story) food & off I went with my friend Helen! The class was held at Stamp & Create in Milford which is owned by Judi Davis. You gotta go there it's an awesome shop!! Shame it is so far away from where I live:-(

Yo Dawson from Crafting Around was demoing some Christmas cards using stickers & this gorjuss card called Caribbean something or other, yummm it is niiiice! The other cards she demoed were some yummy black & white cards. On the first card the pudding has foil on the icing & the card is made using the Caribbean card. The green side bit is cuttle bugged. The second card with the baubles is done using the Versamark Dazzle ink pad & I stamped a big stamp that has sort of 'cracked' lines on it. Then I brayered over the top using my Capuccino Kaleidocolor stamp pad. The baubles were stamped in Stazon ink onto some clear acetate then cut out & stuck to the card using ultra tiny dots of sponge tape. The smaller bauble was just a cut out of card & I used a circle sticker around it. I added sticker chains to each bauble. Lastly I added the curves of chain which just gives the card a different look. I used a dark iridescent brown card for the base card. Oh yes, I added some glitter to the bauble:-)

The green card is done using the same technique as above but using a crackle stamp as background. Once again I have used gold star stickers on acetate.

This class was serious FUN! We did alot of stamping, laughing, (shopping, of course!) & eating as well a bit of 'gossip'...my lips are sealed:-) On top of a whole day stamping I ended up spending the next day at Helen's doing more stamping! A marathon 48 hours but fun! I know I will do it again sometime!! Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)
