It was so great to see everyone again!!! We started our creative cardmaking session with this card which features little punched shapes - flowers, butterflies, leaves, hearts, etc. I punched these from glossy paper which had been coloured with ink pads by tapping the pad on a piece of plastic packaging, spritzing water on the ink and the placing the piece of glossy card into the puddle. Totally fun and unpredictable but always fabulous decorative paper for creating with!!! I decided on a grid for the punchies so I used a plaid embossing folder and cut the white cardstock to be just the size I needed for 12 space with a border all the way around. We added white seam binding to the middle strip of squares, added a short piece and then installed at square brad to keep everything in place. Easier said than done but we got it done!!! We added the shapes any where we wanted on the remaining space - generally in the remaining squares. We did add a bit of detail to our shapes with glitter pens just to give them some character.
I finished the top five cards with butterflies and flowers and will be adding these to my stash of cards for IWIN. The fall will come sooner than we think and it is fun to add cards as I create others as they then all have different looks which makes it easier to suit the people who will be receiving them.
