Easy Easel cards

I'm really enjoying teaching regular classes again. My friend Lynn has recently bought Grimsby Crafts and I am now on my 4th week of teaching! I was a bit unsure whether or not to get back into teaching regular classes but I am pleased I accepted. The ladies on the classes have been so much fun and very friendly. Dawn even makes the drinks for me!!!!!!!! Mind you, I think that's so she knows she will be able to drink it if she makes her own!!!!

These are similar to the cards we will be making in class this week. Easel cards are quite easy to make, but very effective. Images are from Crafty Individuals.

These photo's just show the front of the cards.

I've got a couple more almost done, using papers from my stash.

My craft room is almost sorted now, at long last. I have so much stuff to sell on ebay, but will be contacting my friends before I list it. Lots of bargains to be had!

Back to normality??????

Here are a few photo's of a class in progress which I will be teaching at Grimsby Crafts. They will eventually be part of a 'star book', one of my all time requested classes. In all I have taught 9 different starbooks, I still have the samples and it is really interesting to see how my style has changed from very dark and grungy to pale, floral and vintage/shabby. Must be an age thing eh?

The papers are double sided Je t'adore by Making Memories. I have used lots of Nestabilities and Marianne cutting dies, coupled with various embossing folders.

Not always in the way they are meant to be used, as I like to try to think a bit outside the box.
Lots of distressing resulting in some very messy fingers.

Some little pockets and tags, all ready for stamping and embellishing.

I have finally used some of my new 'babies' fro Crafty Individuals. I received the stamps ages ago but with so much going on have only just found spare time to play. I decided to make a few ATC's, here's the first one using plate CI-296. The sentiment is from CI-292.

The three below use images and sentiments from CI-292.

These two 'mens' cards are from plates CI-295 (boats) and CI297 (birds).

The friendship sentinment on the bird card is from plate CI-277 and the background is CI-213.

I'll leave you with these two acetate cards using BasicGrey papers, and CI images. Will be back soon with more of the star book.
