SCT Class - Hero Arts - Last One!!

And the cards from the SCT class from Hero Arts. The last one! I did it!! :-) This one involved ink blending, die-cutting and a bit of stenciling.

This may be my last post for a while. It's been fun doing the class cards, but we've had so many things on our to-do list. We've been chipping away at it, but keep adding more things as we go along. We've been doing the Christmas shopping, but have to finish that. And even though the cards have been done for a long time, we still have to do the letter and get the cards ready to mail. Deciding which cards each person will be getting is a job in itself!

In case I'm not back before then, Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Picket Fence

Here are the SCT Class cards from Picket Fence. The images (girl, background studio pieces and easel) were preprinted and die-cut. We were also provided with a stamp set (with the dies), a stencil and some special paste. We used the stencil for the backgrounds on all of the cards. For this first one, we put the ink on the stencil, misted the stencil and then placed the white panel on top of it.

This one had the yellow paste through the stencil and then yellow ink blended over that.

This one had ink blended on the panel, two coats of clear embossing powder over the entire surface and then some paste added over that.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - My Favorite Things

Here are my cards from the My Favorite Things class from the SCT class.  This first one is a flat panel on the bottom layer and the smaller panel is the actual opening card.

This is a special fold card with a belly band. Lots of little die cuts.

And more little die cuts, plus some stenciling.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Concord and 9th

Here are the three cards from Concord and 9th from the SCT class. The kit included the cover die, other dies, stencils, stamps and four small ink pads. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Brutus Monroe

And here are my cards from the Brutus Monroe class from SCT. There isn't much stamping on these cards - it's mostly rub-ons. The set included stamps, dies, rub-ons and a stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT - Stamps of Life

Here are my cards from Stamps of Life for the SCT card class. I'm moving right along! By the time this posts, I may have them all done. Yippee.

The first card - a modified gate-fold card.

Here is the second card - an easel card.

And the last card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Honey Bee

Here are the cards from the Honey Bee class. Please check out the post for the last card, which is so awesome - and was so putzy! All the little pieces are die-cut. The stencil was in the kit - it stenciled the circle and also the designs on the plates, etc. So much detail!

The bottom layer is patterned paper which includes the wreath and the sentiment (and the background, too, of course.) The rest are die cuts.

I die-cut the card base using the bottom layer die. This die set was huge! There was also a small sentiment set and a stencil.

The cabinet doors open and there are dishes in them.

The inside of the card. This really isn't my kind of card, but it's pretty amazing, I think.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Gina K Designs

Ahh, I am doing the SCT classes in order, and I finally reached Gina K. I really do love her cards. She was so generous with supplies for the class. There was a full-sized stamp set with dies, the oval stencils, and also the background stamp. We used the "kissing" technique with the silhouette stamps and the background stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

SCT Class - Ranger/Simon Hurley

These four cards are from the SCT (Stamping and Cards Today Crop and Create) class that I took starting in September. Lucky for me that the classes are all on YouTube, as I was not able to do them live. I finally finished three more classes. Maybe I'll have more of them done before this post publishes.

This class was Simon Hurley for Ranger. Most of the cards are identical to the class cards. The kit consisted of the stamps and dies, stencils and AstroPaste.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Gina K-Designed Cards

Gina K made some cards like this on one of her recent videos. So simple and pretty. You mask off the stripes around the edges and then use stencils and ink-blending. The sentiments are from my parts and were done with the Glimmer Hot Foil system. They are popped up, of course. I added three really old Martha Stewart gems to each card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
