I had a wonderful time yesterday at the online With Love event offered by Scrapbook & Cards Today (SCT). This was my first session with them and I LOVED it!! The day included four classes taught by Meghann Andrew, Cathy Zielske, Dana Joy & Jennifer McGuire, plus Jennifer did a little bonus session. She called it "Mix It Up", meaning she took event kit items and used them creatively. She loves to think outside the box! The day was opened and closed by Catherine Tachdjian, the owner/publisher, including prizes. Sadly, I didn't win anything...
Here's a shot of all the class cards I made (note: card 3 in row 3 is upside down - I didn't notice when I photographed):
I also completed one of Meghann's bonus cards since I had done all the homework, including finishing card one the day before the event! She shared instructions for a second bonus card which I'll try to make at some point. For this bonus card, she had us using part of the negative that's left from die cutting the heart confetti.
That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you tomorrow for the second set of cards from the With Love event - class taught by the delightful Cathy Zielske.
And here's a shot of the kit contents (except the cardstock) - can you believe it? 45 dies, 2 stamp sets and 7 stencils, plus generous card stock for both card bases and layering - such an incredible value!! Oh, and a large mesh storage bag with the event logo came with it. You had to furnish your own colored cardstock. The instructors listed what they used but I dug through my own stash (mostly Recollections from Michael's and Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby), rather than order more. Die cut sentiments (with shadows) included:
- you are
- so very loved
- sending
- here for you
- you shine (not used for any class cards)
I'll post separate photos from one class each day for the next few days. Some classes also shared bonus cards which I may or may not have recreated. I'll share how I modified my card from what the instructors taught. First up, cards from Meghann Andrew's class; she coordinates online content for SCT:
Card one is a shaker with inked acetate (Ranger Patina Alcohol ink). Filler is from the kit's heart confetti die plus some mix I got at Michael's. My house is so dry and static-y that loads of mix stuck to the acetate. Oh well, some also shook freely. Meghann used darker cardstock & ink on her sentiment. I just love the subway tile stenciling!
On card two, Meghann did ink blending on her cups using the coordinating stencils. I chose to color my cups with Copic markers. The sentiments were stamped through the stencil after ink blending it (masking off for the "table").
On card three, Meghann used the flower center die to cut orange flower centers. I used some black enamel dots that came from Cindy (Escape to Stamping) for my upcoming birthday. Thanks again, Cindy!! I also used a different sentiment.
I'll link up to Darnell's February NBUS Challenge #71 with card one since that was my first play with new supplies.
