and then with graduations coming up i needed a few. and again i found inspiration on Pintrest and CASED. and here are my cards:

 

one of them is for a high school graduation and the other will be for a Master's Degree graduate.

recently i've been making a couple of cards. with Father's Day coming next weekend i was trolling on Pintrest and found a card that i fell in love with. so i CASED it. and this is what i came up with:

i used SU! wood background and then created a step-card. added some "ties" and a couple of drawers. i think i like it ...

Class #6 Black Magic Layout Class

and my final project. when i first saw this project i thought that the "bleach" technique was used so i made a scrapbook page for my oldest nephew and his family:

 

and then i watched the video from the class and boy was i wrong.

Class #6 Black Magic Layout Class 

turns out that you don't bleach the lighter areas you actually use a opaque or chalkboard pen and then color over that. 

Class #8 Emboss Resist Envelope Punch Board Box Class

 

class #8 was a challenge to "emboss resist" using daubers. i used black embossing powder just to give it a little pop.  i LIKE

Challenge #3 PICK OF THE PARTY!

another challenge was to, "select your FAVORITE TECHNIQUE FROM THE CLASSES OVER THE WEEKEND" and create something original. here is my attempt at that

Class #7- Spotlight Notepad

LOVED this project!!! maybe it was the butterflies that seemed to be just "hanging" off the card. added a little extra cuzz it seemed so plane and white.

Class #5- Gate Fold Card

 wasn't liking this project so much when i first started. seemed like the ink was drying before i could blend with the blender pen. but towards the second page i was setting some movement of the ink.

Game #2 “TAG YOU’RE IT!!”

game #2 - we were to "Create ANY type of project (decor, layout, card, gift, anything) that showcases TAGS". i think i nailed this one

Class #4 Stained Glass Technique Class

 

class #4 is "stained glass" technique

Class #3- Floral Purse

our third project was to create this little gift purse. very catour

Class #2 Watercolor Resist Technique Card

so our second class is called "watercolor resist". much like embossing resist only it's watercolor. LOVE this technique and will be playing with it with the club that i organize crafts for. simple and easy and POW what an impact the finish product has.

Game #3- Inspire me!

game #3 was to search Pintrest or Google "so very grateful" and this is what i found and liked

Challenge #2- Sweet Tooth

 

challenge #2 was to create something using a decorated cake as inspiration. i used this cake:

 

not quite sure i "nailed it" or not ...

 

Class #1- Scallop Top Tag Treat

The first actual class project is making a treat bag using SU! Scallop Top Punch. I added a few details but I'm not sure if they added anything to the final project.

Challenge #1 Sketch THIS!

first project is a sketch which we were to choose one from these:

and then i also added into the project both bonus projects which were:

Bonus Class #1- Shaker Card

Bonus Class #2 Sponge Dauber Spotlight Card

i'm having a little trouble with my shaker do-dads shaking. there seems to be some kind of sticky residue on the sequins that i can't rub off.

Game #1 – Stampin’ Bingo

Participating in a stamp weekend with "Stamptastic" and this is my Bingo play card.

this is a birthday card that i created for my nephew's birthday ... he's a volunteer fireman in his spare time but his main job is working for an ambulence service so i went with his "fireman" hobby as the main focus for his card ...

used dies for the fireman and the firetruck
stickers, brads, stamps, etc

this is the main cover which is tied closed on both sides

this is standing up with one side untied and open

first page of the book open
