Yesterday I held the annual All Day Class with the ladies who attend my classes at Beachmere.  Over the course of the day we create five projects – a piece of framed art, a fancy fold card, an ornament with presentation box, a set of four cards and a set of five tags.  The cards and tags were created using the kits which are available in the Holiday Catalogue.  It takes me a while to prepare and set up for this class.  I try to make it as fun as possible for the ladies by packaging each project individually and by doing a fair amount of the die cutting.  This year our class was held at the Beach House.  So that the ladies could keep all their projects in one place, I decorated a gift bag for each of them.  I stamped the pen image from the Crafting Forever stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.   I coloured the images using the Dark Night of Navy, Dark Bermuda Bay and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  I used the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch to cut Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Old Olive card and attached the punched strips along the edge of the stamped and coloured Whisper White card.  The stamped panels are attached to the front of the gift bag.  I stamped the Statement of My Heart stamp set (a limited release stamp now unavailable) onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut them out using the largest plain oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.  The stamped panel is attached to a scalloped oval cut using the same dies from Night of Navy or Bermuda Bay or Old Olive card.  The Statement of My Heart panel is attached to the centre of the stamped border.  So that the ladies would be able to recognize their own bag, I printed their names onto Whisper White card using my computer.  I punched one end using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and then over stamped the tag using the floral border image from the Touches of Texture stamp set.  Some are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink, some with Merry Merlot ink and some with Rich Razzleberry ink.  The tags are tied to the bag with retired ribbon.

I’ll pop back over the next few days and share the projects we created with you.

Bye for now,

Kris
