Hello Stampers!

I have lots to share today! 

Saturday morning I had my masking techniques class- it was fun and I hope the stampers who came enjoyed it as much as I did. 

These first cards were on display and I shared with everyone the different steps and techniques involved in making some of them. Embossing, embossing paste, layering, and more. 

Here is a closer look at these samples

and then here are the projects each of them made... first a belly band around one of the in color treat bags. The band was also embossed using the distressed tile embossing folder from the mini catalog, and we used the bough punch for the leaves.

The 3 flowers were created with the mask, cut out and stacked to create a dahlia looking flower. 

Nearly impossible to see the tone on tone on the Blackberry Bliss card stock in this pic but it is really pretty. The autumn leaves bundle was used to coordinate with the leafy background mask. the leaves were die cut using distressed gold designer paper (annual catalog) and the oxidized copper designer paper from the Sept-Dec mini

Using the hounds tooth background mask and all 4 sunflower layers to create the flowers and leaves.

Then the final card  using the snowflakes mask, the snowflake sky embossing folder and beary cute bundle  

This week I am working on the designs for my October events-
