Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

December 04, 2014

Card Class

Hi Everybody,

In the last card class my ladies tried their hand at creating a more masculine card with the unusual technique shown

If this is a new idea to you then maybe you would like to watch a tutorial on Faux Leather Effect

The two different color schemes make the card look totally different and you can make it suit your recipient whether male or female

It is very easy to do and I hope you will enjoy the short video  ... and I am sure that you will agree that both Mary and Brenda have made lovely cards on this their first attempt.

The Spellbinders Sneak Peak and Give Away is now in its fourth day

Click this link  HERE   for the form that you need to fill in and submit to be in with a chance

Visit the other Designer Team blogs too for even more chances to win and there are other sets on offer... and at the end of the week there will be a grand prize fro someone to win.

But remember that these dies are  being newly launched at the CHA shows in California and  they will be available for you to buy  next spring 2015

The link is open for 48 hours and is the only way to enter.  Good Luck

Thank you for all the comments on my practise run with the camera. I had some really good tips and advice from many of you and I will take each and every one on board and work with it.  Many of you preferred the third photo of the cards and that was my favorite one as well.

It was only a practise run and my first attempt with my new camera and I do intend to use other staging props and not just the ones shown.  So hopefully my pictures will get better

 All the advice given was well received by me and in the manner it was intended

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  8. I think the ladies did a terrific job. I watched the video when you first posted it. My thoughts then, wow what a lot of work. I have missed some of your posts as my computer was down for a while. Hopefully I will catch up before long.

  10. Hi Christina, what wonderful cards, they are so unusual. Well done to your ladies. I tried to use the link for the new dies but it said it was closed, so it looks like I missed out even though you said it was open for 48 hours...I'm never lucky enough to win anyway :(. x

  12. When I first looked at the two cards, I liked Brenda's card the best because I think of the colours. Once I read the information that it was faux leather and intended for a man, Mary's card would be my first pick for a man card. Beautiful work ladies may have to give this a try in the new year. Keep up the good work. Dianne
