Gift of Friendship Online Class

Today I'm excited about being able to post my newest online class tutorial, 

the Gift of Friendship class. 

My local stamping friends will be creating the Gift of Friendship card, shown above, from this class in a few weeks (March 19 and March 23 to be exact), using the addicting Faux Chalkboard technique. I love this technique, especially when used with the From the Heart stamp set. The two go together perfectly. 

The online class tutorial includes four projects for you to create: A scalloped country basket which holds a set of 3x3 decorative blank cards with envelopes and a sweet scalloped tea bag holder. This matching friendship card completes the set.

If you'd like more information on the online class tutorial, you can Click Here or click on my Tutorials for Sale button on the right of my blog.

If you're local and would like to join in my on-site class, I still have a few spots open for March 19, 7-9 PM and March 23, 2-4 PM classes. Contact me for more information.

Faux Chalkboard You are Loved

I've been noticing how popular the "chalkboard" look is right now. I've seen it in advertisements, cardmaking, scrapbooking, etc., so I thought that I'd try the Faux Chalkboard technique out for myself. I found a great video tutorial HERE, which helped me to create this card. I liked this technique and had a lot of fun with it.
I used Stampin' Up's Whisper White Craft ink for the "chalk" look on Not Quite Navy CS, and a white Prismacolor pencil to outline the inside of one of the Labels Collection framelits and to create the banner for the stamped sentiment from the You are Loved stamp set.

Thanks for dropping by!

Chalkboarding

From Heidi ...

Another Monday and new week...where does the weekend go? I hope you all had a great weekend.
Here's a card I made awhile back for one of our classes at the Tumbleweed Rec Center. I used an older stamp set, All the Best, because it had a nice solid image. I stamped the image with a Versamark and then chalked pastels over the image. I have a couple of other stamp sets I'd like to try this on along with some fun color combinations. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
