Take Care and Flock Together Craft Class

The last two evenings I have been hosting Craft Classes dedicated to two gorgeous stamp sets ... 'Take Care' and 'Flock Together'. I thought these, along with the Birds of a Feather Designer Series Papers, lend themselves beautifully to an Easter Theme ... so giving us all time to get prepared, I came up with a couple of cards and a little gift pouch, just big enough to take a small bag of Chocolate Mini Eggs.

The little Chocolate Lolly Pop holder has been made using the Petite Purse Bigz Die, minus the top flap.

This gift pouch was made using one sheet of A4 Summer Starfruit Cardstock and decorated using Island Indigo (both In Colours), along with patterned papers from the Designer Series Paper pack, Birds of a Feather. The flap was made using the Labels Collection Framelits. I just love these fresh colours together ... the feeling of Spring really is in the air ... 

Here I've used the Masking technique, so that you can overlap images and what better way to show this than by using one of the little chicks from the 'Flock Together' Stamp set and clustering three together. This is quite a simplified version, but once mastered, it's very useful for layering flowers in a bouquet display, or perhaps putting a Birds nest to the branch of my next card.

This simpler card is using the Stamp Set, 'Take Care' and I've seen many beautiful things created using this one. I'd have loved to made more for this class, but you have to stop somewhere, or my ladies would all be having to move in for the weekend.

I will soon be adding a Tutorials Tab to the top bar of this blog and will include the things like the Masking Technique and the dimensions for the gift pouch shown in this posting, so keep an eye out for them.

I also plan on making a few more Easter creations using these stamp sets, which I will post on here as soon as they are available.

Happy Crafting

Take Care and Flock Together

This past week I have been preparing for my forthcoming Craft evening, where I plan on making use of two stamp sets, 'Take Care' and 'Flock Together' along with the gorgeous 'Birds of a Feather' Designer Series Paper.

I have tailored this class to Easter and thought the birds in both of these sets, lend themselves perfectly. 

This is just a taster of what we'll be making. I shall reveal more once the class dates arrive.

Roll on Easter and the Springtime weather that we seem to be getting a taster of these past few days.
