First up - a make & take lead by Kim & Josie using ephemera from the class kit:
Supplies: Spellbinders Oh What Fun
Layered Cardstock Die Cuts;
Wooden dowel; ribbon from stash;
foam tape; Copics for edging
The banner is two pieces, with foam tape behind the T area of "Oh What" to add the "Fun" section. It's about 12" long when finished. To the right of the "Oh", the panel had an extended area with score marks. This made it easy to roll the banner onto the wooden dowel. Spellbinders requested a 1/4" one but I could only find 3/8" which was close enough.
Then we could decorate as desired with other bits from the ephemera pack. I kept it simple with the holly. Next we added ribbon from our stash - the suggestion was to gather a bunch of ribbon and tie them together first, then add to the bottom of the banner. This worked much better than tying each ribbon separately to the dowel.
Next we had a prerecorded class from Yana Smakula with her adorable pull tab card. Here's my version:
Supplies: Spellbinders cardstock, Top it Off Deer &
New Heights Ladder from Oh What Fun!
Pear Blossom Press Stamp & Die Bundle;
foam tape
The ladder is glued to a panel behind an acetate pull mechanism - surprisingly easy to create. I stamped the word PULL on the tab - this wasn't part of the project but I had a stamp for it! The reindeer is popped onto the acetate using foam tape. Here's a view of the card after pulling up the acetate:
Isn't that just the cutest?! The little circle dots are meant to be used as tree decor but Yana added bows to the tree and used the dots as snow. I love her non-traditional color palette too! I will say, Yana's pace was fast and, since it was pre-recorded, there were no check-ins to see how people were doing. While I'm fairly fast, I fell behind because I didn't always do things in the same order Yana did. I caught up to her though & she explained everything thoroughly!
Next they had a demo of the upcoming new Glimmer system & a little quiz show, then they broke for a two hour lunch. This felt too long for the virtual people, especially given the prerecorded segments. Then Kim and Josie did another Make & Take using a package of rub-ons from the class kit. I made this card patterned after Kim's:
Supplies: Spellbinders Oh What Fun Rub-ons,
cardstock & Banner dies;
Hero Arts Pool A2 card & Infinity Circle Dies;
Simon Says Stamps Starshine Dots; foam tape
I applied the rub-on Santa to white cardstock and die cut with a circle. Matted to a red circle. I cut strips of cardstock and glued to an A2 card, then popped the circle onto it with foam tape. Some dots and a banner sentiment finished the card.
That's all I've made so far. I watched Channin's class but didn't craft along. The rest of the event fell during Craft Roulette so I'll have to catch it on replay. I'll share those cards when I've made them - all very cute! Sorry I can't remember what Spellbinders said about when/if the class kit products will be sold in their store. I was also sucked in to buying some add-on sets - they should arrive by next week...
Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty day! I'll be back tomorrow with the August Card Chain reveal. If you want to check out the September Chain, go HERE by Sep 6th.
