Well, last Friday was a first for me. I held my first online card class. While I've done Facebook Live's before, featuring how I made a card, this time was a legit card class! The participants signed up ahead of time, ordered the supplies they needed and then we virtually gathered via Zoom to put the cards together, from the packets I had sent ahead of time. I chose to work with the Bird Ballad suite because I knew several people already had it and the availability was good from SU. I want to share what we made with you today:
The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper was featured prominently in all of our cards. I think it has such a pretty color scheme and the feather motif was really fun to work with. The die cut feathers are from the "Nature's Thoughts dies. We also used the Bird Ballad Suite coordinating nested dies. For our coloring on all the cards, we used Watercolor Pencils and a blender pen.
This was a Z fold card which is actually easy to make, just more complicated to visualize at first. The base of the card was 4-1/4" x 11" and scored from left to right at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2". The smaller piece is 2" x 11" and scored in the same places. When you assemble the card, you just flip the smaller piece of card stock so the score lines are on the right side of your work instead of the left. You do have to think through the stamping process and stamp first if you can, then adhere the Designer Series paper where you can, covering up anything you don't want to be seen!
This fun card uses a precut laser card which is part of the Bird Ballad Suite. They come 12 to a decorated tin and include envelopes. We included a trinket from the suite on this card as well.
The last card features more of the Designer Series Paper that we fussy cut. The embossed background is made using the Tin Tile 3D folder.
I have another class coming up in the next two weeks, Family Birthday cards using the Mosaic Mood Suite. Let me know if you're interested. I have an event set up on Facebook under "Big Sky Stampin' " page and you can see more details there. My online classes include all the precut paper and die cuts you'll need, any ribbon or embellishment, pictures of the completed cards and a video tutorial you can watch at your own leisure if the time of the online class doesn't work for you.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you keep stamping in the midst of staying home!
Happy Monday!
Sarah
