Quilts and Cards: A Couple of Cards

A Couple of Cards

These two cards were inspired by the on-line classes I did in April with Tim Holtz. I really loved the effects from blending the distress inks on the card then stamping over that.

Another really exciting piece of news is that Tim Holtz is going to do some classes in Australia and I am going to one in Sydney in June! Can't wait!

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.
When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.
Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
