Spring Scrapbook Class in April

Hello everyone,
Have you been enjoying the sunshine? We have, we've been walking in the parks, on the swings and picnics! Roll on more sunny days....and today as with the theme I will be sharing with you our Scrapbook Class Pages, this month's theme was Spring!

 

The Designer Series Papers used for these two pages were the gorgeous Tea for Two. They go so well with the two step stamp Stippled Blossoms, that was stamped here in two coordinating colours.

Afternoon Tea Cards...

Hi all,

Hope you're all well. Apologies for these cards being posted late. We went to Wales for a week and thought I'd catch up on blogging but we had no mobile or internet network in the cottage we had been staying in. So have had a lot of catching up to do.

Anyhow, here are the cards we made at this month's card class. The Stamp Set we used was the beautiful Tea Shoppe.

 This is the card...and it opens up like this...thanks to Beckie over at Inking  Idaho, who I cased this from. It was a very WOW moment when I opened it and all this was possible with the little brads.

Colours used were the Midnight Muse, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Whisper White. The Tea Cup was cut out by hand but the other shapes were cut using the framelits die.

The next card is simpler and it shows off my new purchase the beautiful Doily Die, it is so effective you don't need much else. Colours used were Perfect Plum and Daffodil delight. The little hearts that you can see along the botton were embossed using the Adorning Accents Embossing Folder.

If you would like to join us and make some beautiful cards, contact me to join my class head-over-heels-by-dlm@hotmail.com

Thank you for stopping by, I will be back hopefully tomorrow with some exciting Stampin' UP! news!
