This month’s layout features BoBunny’s Surprise! collection….I completed my layout using Red and Yellow.  If you are just wanting to receive the kit, those will be the cardstock colours that you will receive in the kit.  HOWEVER, if you attend one of the classes, YOU will be able to choose which background cardstock colour you would like to complete your layout with….please arrive a little early to choose your colour!  There are many different colours within the pattern papers to choose from.  Choosing your own colours may help your layout match a “birthday” theme colour or lend better to a “boy” or a “girl”. 
 
In this layout, you will be cutting into the top layer of cardstock to create the frames.  PLEASE bring a hobby knife/craft knife or exacto knife.  I do have self-healing mats. (cutting of fingers not permitted lol!)  The picture sizes that I used on this layout are: 
2- 3X4verticals,
1- 4X6 vertical,….BUT of course these could be easily changed!~
 
 
Please bring the following to class or for when you make the kit:
  • paper trimmer
  • fine-tipped scissors
  • hobby knife/craft knife or exacto knife

  • Glossy Accents and/or clear stickles (OPTIONAL)

EXTRA KITS are available which include step-by-step cutting and adhering instructions.  If you would like one, please let me know.

SPECIAL announcement & Dragonfly Stencil card class

I have been anxiously awaiting to reveal a “little secret” that I have been keeping!  Well, it is a BIG event for me and a challenge that I have been looking forward to.

As some of you have been aware, I have been creating A LOT with my Dreamweaver Stencils (and enjoying every minute).  Back on February 1st, Dreamweaver stencil owner Lynell Harlow announced a design team call.  So as I love working with the stencils I submitted my entries to Dreamweaver Stencils.  I entered 2 cards, a 3D project, a write up about myself and why I should be on the “Dream Team”.  On March 15th I received news that I was picked to be one of their new members on their Dream Team – Dreamweaver Stencils design team!

Dream Team logo[1]Here are a few pictures of my design team entries (top picture is of the 2 cards that I designed.  The bottom picture is of the shadow box that I designed):

Dreamweaver Stencils have monthly challenges that you can enter.   The challenge for March is called “Bloomin’ Spring” and you have the chance to WIN a Dreamweaver stencil!   Create a card that says “Spring” to you. 

Then just link your own “bloomin’” creation(s) to the link on the Dream It Up! blog, or email pics of your creations to lynell@dreamweaverstencils.com, for an opportunity to be this month’s randomly selected prize winner.

 

I also have cards ready for the next Dreamweaver Stencil card class! 

You may recognize one of the cards from a challenge that I entered with Dreamweaver Stencils for their CAS (Clean and Simple) challenge.  The White card with swirls is an extra special card for me as it was one of the cards I entered in their design team call.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAYou will complete the 3 cards shown on the left using the Dragonfly stencil LM 193 and you will also go home with the stencil.   You will learn how to add a lot of sparkle to your images using 2 different methods and also learn a new technique with Dreamweaver’s Metallic F/X.LM 193 Dragonfly
