Framelit Shaped Card

Today I held my montly card class and we made a shaped card using the Framelit Dies.  We did paper piercing around the edge and used a marker pen to draw on the "stitches". I think everyone enjoyed making the card and they really liked the new core'dinations paper which we embossed with the woodgrain embossing folder and then sanded. My card featured a bird, others in the class prefereed to have owls.  All the cards were all a little different and everyone was pleased with their efforts.

Here is the sample card I made:

A men's shirt card

Last week I attended Julia's class and got to make this wonderful man's card.  It uses the new core'rdinations paper which you can sand to give that rough finish to it.  I also had fun using the paper-piercing set to create that stitched look.  Much easier (and straighter) than getting my sewing machine out.



Supplies:
Ink: Early Espresso
DSP: Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP
Card Stock: Core'rdiations Early Espresso, Very vanilla
Other: Core'dinations Sanding system, Button, Paper-Piecing Tool, Paper Piercing Mat, Paper-Piercing Essentials Pack, Early Espresso Marker 

Thanks for stopping by.
