Spring Card Camp day 20

Window Weaving was the lesson for day 20.


I had fun with this technique.  I could have made lots more cards but just had to stop.

This was our last day of camp.  I know I will miss it.  I have looked so forward to seeing what we would be doing everyday.

Spring Card Camp Day 19

Day 19 was Must-Try Monoprinting.


I tried this technique several times and these were the only ones I felt turned out.

Spring Card Camp Day 18

Day 18 was Colorful Abstract Backgrounds.



As you can see, I made 5 cards.  I couldn't decide which background I liked best so I just used all of them.

Online Card Camp Day 17

Lining Up Pieces with Background Dies was our class on day 17.



I used Distress Oxides to color a few pieces of paper.  I then die cut the colored paper and a piece of white paper. I attached the white to another piece of Cardstock.  I added a double layer of foam tape to the coral squares.  The yellow was next, it has no foam tape.  Lastly the blue was added with 1 layer of foam tape.  I die cut the hello and stamped the sentiment and attached them to the card.  There is a lot of dimension.

Spring Card Camp Day 12

Geometric Patterns with Basic Shapes was the lesson for day 12.


I uses a diamond shaped die to make the pattern with.  For me the hardest part was getting all the diamonds straight.  I don't think they are very straight but I really did try.

Spring Card Camp Day 11


Day 11 was  Colorful Cards without Coloring.


I do like to color but this is a lot faster, especially if I'm in a hurry.


Spring Card Camp Day 10

Our lesson was Letter Substitution for day 10.





I chose to substitute the U in hugs for the koala bear.

Spring Card Class Day 9

Day 9 was about Cloud Gazing. Daniel West said he liked to look at the clouds to see shapes.  We were to look at stamps and dies in a different way.  Here is what I came up with.


I used background dies for the grass and flowers.  The stems are an old Spellbinder die.  I free hand cut the birds as it needed something.

I know when I look at my stamps I do see things other than what they are but I really had a problem with that today.

For day 7 we did Vellum Overlays.  We were to cut vellum with a frame or background die and attach it to a card.


I inked the card with 2 different color yellows and attached the vellum die cut that I stamped on.

Spring Card Camp 2 Day 2


Today we learned Masking + Ink.



We made strips.  Here I masked off an area and inked it, then moved the mask and did another area until I was happy.  I stamped the flower and sentiment and the card was finished.


Spring Card Camp 2 Day 1

Online Card Class has another card camp that started yesterday.  Here is the card I made.


Our lesson was marvelous Masking.  This card was more fun to make than I first thought.
