Clean and Simple Cardmaking Week Two

Despite the major electrical problems and the fridge that kicked the bucket, etc. etc. I did manage to try a few techniques. Alas, I do not like the feel to the cards--still very unprofessional. The only one that I liek a bit is this one, although the color on the photo came out very yellow when instead the green almost matches the Bundled Sage that I used in the middle of the background.



In any case, I need to order from the States the powder used with embossing powder. I did find some white embossing powder but forgot to buy black.

I tried another card with the punch outs and the stamp behind...I tried to keep it simple (too simple?)



Lastly I tried the masking technique, although I think that I need to make the mask larger as here you cannot really see that they have masked and then stamped.

  2. Hello Jan! Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog! Your cards are lovely. Hasn't the class been fun? :) Just wanted to answer your question about the white frame on my Keep Calm card set. It's just a layer of white cardstock! The card base is 3.5x5. Then I cut a white panel at 3.25x4.75. The color cardstock layer that I embossed on is 3x4.5. Then I just layered them all together. I find that the trick to getting them straight is standing up when sticking the layers together! :)
