Online Card Classes: Celebrate Collection by Kristina Werner Concord & 9th

Posted on by

0

I have been a member of Online Card classes founded by Kristina Werner and friends for many years. There are some great classes that I go back to when I am really stuck for inspiration.

This past Christmas, Kristina curated a specially designed & curated set for a workshop on the OCC platform. This was the first time they had provided product bundles and I loved it. There was a range of cards to suit all tastes & skill.

Kristina recently curated another product bundle called “Celebration”. I immediately registered and purchased the products; celebration & birthday cards are always a staple to have on hand & to create.

Concord & 9th Ink colors: Wildberry, Clementine, Harbor, Poppy

Congratulations and general “Yay for you” cards aren’t something I usually have in my stash, so I made a point to create a general “yay” card to have handy. Keeping the color palette bright and happy keeps it gender neutral so that I can easily give it to any recipient

Concord & 9th ink cookies: Aqua Sky, Wildberry, Buttercup (shaded with Creamsicle), Poppy, Pink Lemonade (shaded with the brush used for Wildberry balloon)

All of my cards were inspired from the projects from the workshop. We received the Workshop PDF in advance so I went rogue and started creating before the class videos came out.

There are a few projects I had trouble with creating in my own so I am looking forward to the instructional videos from the instructors for more projects to add to my stash.

Lawn Fawn Shello Friends & Stitched Seashells Card Set

Another Crop & Create set, this Lawn Fawn Shello Friends stamp, die & coordinating stencil was so much fun to create with!

This was the first time I have actually used colouring stencils and it was surprisingly easy to get a great result. I can especially see colouring stencils being very handy for mass producing batches of cards. Our ‘homework’ was to stamp and cut for each example card, but I went a little bananas and created enough for multiples of each since it was so easy.

For all cards, these are the Lawn Fawn ink colors used:

  • Bubblegum
  • Moonstone
  • Fresh Lavender
  • Peach Fuzz
  • Merman
  • Butter
  • Celery Stick

Here are the cards I made – I have enough completed components to make a few more of each card left, all I really need to do is the background and then assemble.

If you’re on the fence about the coloring stencils, they’re great when you want to create but don’t want to pull out all of your markers – it makes for an easy card with a great result!

Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities & Blended Bloom

Of all the alcohol markers that Stampin Up has, Cherry Cobbler is my favorite color.  It is such a rich yet vibrant color, almost regal like velvet 😉

I am hosting an Introduction to Alcohol Marker Coloring class this week, and here is the card the group will be making in the workshop.  Each class participant will get a FREE pack of the Cherry Cobbler marker trio as part of their class fee too!

Here is the card:

Phewf! It’s been a little while since I have been able to post an update for you all!  A lot has changed for me, and I am now back in British Columbia in New Westminster.  Now that my craft room is all unpacked I am finally able to hold card making workshops again.  (YAY!)

The first class I did was a huge success so I hope that some of you will be able to join me for my second workshop in New Westminster. The theme for this card making workshop is “Birthday Bash”. Birthdays happen all throughout the year – so be prepared for them! This workshop will feature 3 cards: one feminine, one masculine and one junior (child / tween) card.

All the materials you need will be provided to make each card, all you will need to bring with you is basic supplies like Tombow or snail, pop dots / dimensionals and fine pointed scissors along with any other tools you find useful when crafting! I provide the project kits, complete with all materials and pre-cut card stock; all you need to do is learn the fun techniques and assemble the projects!

 

Here is the masculine birthday card design we will be making in this workshop:

When I saw this project by Sam McDonald of Pootles UK, I just HAD to make it!! I was smitten with the Sale-A-Bration Good As Gold card kit as soon as I saw it, and when I saw Sam’s brilliant little box, I knew I had to make one too!

Here is the project I made using the Good As Gold card kit:

Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration Good As Gold Gift Box - Wendie Bee Montreal Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration Good As Gold Gift Box – Stamp Right Up Montreal

I loved the box so much, that I decided to make another one using Stampin Up card stock and the Sale-A-Bration DSP (designer series paper). I love Avon lip balm – it’s a great price, and there is always so many different designs and flavors available, I thought they would be perfect for this project  Here is my modified project using Sam’s tutorial:

Hiya Stampers!! It is still FREEZING in Montreal.  Like gross cold.  Which, as always, gives me a great excuse to not have to go out, which means I can play in my craft room!! Yay!  I just moved to Montreal on October, and everyone tells me that this is an unusually cold winter.  Like that makes me feel much better – it was TWENTY degree difference from back home (Vancouver) to here last week.  o_O

So, here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that we will be making in the Valentine’s Day workshop this month using the new “Just Sayin” stamp and die bundle that Stampin Up just released in their new Occasions catalog last week.

We will be using the limited edition “Follow My Heart” stamp set for this workshop – there is something romantic about the Eiffel Tower is there?!  *sigh*  And being in the French province of Canada, I thought this stamp set was very apropos this year.

Be sure to register for this card making workshop if you are in the Montreal area – the class fee is only $15. 

 

Until next time stampers!!
