More 'Crafty' cards

The cards in Wednesdays class were made using images from Crafty Individuals books, combined with vintage papers and the cuttlebug embossing folders. I had taught these before to a different group, and decided on a re-run. The cards were featured on my blog previously. These are not the cards we worked from.

Polly was on holiday this week so decided to join the afternoon class. Everyones cards were different as they chose their preferred papers, images and embellishments. I love to see the different ideas evolve.

I made these four cards following the class, as I love this style of cards. They are very simple but effective.

I also used the new Crafty Individuals swirly chipboard frames on a couple, of the cards. They are perfect sizes for the images. The heart was one I had left over from my altered coat hanger project.

And this is the simplest of them all, in colours I would not usually use. I am trying to challenge myself by using colours, stamps etc that are out of my comfort zone.

Jean and Malcolm have nine new stamps coming out very soon. I know there is a plate of words, which I know I will use again and again, I think the rest are clocks, a couple of gothic doors which could be cut to 'open up' and birds I think. I'll put them on my blog as soon as I receive them.

Finally, Marion gave us all a cigar tin to alter so I dragged my embossing powders out and got back into the 'grunge' with this............

Quick, easy and finished lol.
