Class

Last night was a class night and this was our project. I had made it some time ago but haven't been able to share it until now.


We used some lovely Bo Bunny Christmas papers and ribbons and used the Martha Stewart punch to cut the snowflakes and border. A simple set of Christmas stamps for the sentiments, some sparkling gems and there you have it.



We usually make at least 2 cards per class but because of the work involved in this project we just made one. One proved to be plenty! Everyone did go home with instructions and enough to make another complete card though. This is Rosina doing a fantastic job (she always does you know) and creating a beautiful card.

I had a table of complete beginners and another of fairly competent ladies so I was split between the two tables. That makes the task of teaching much harder because you can spend more time with one group than the other but it paid off. My 'newbie' ladies really got into their stride and all went home with a completed project. This project might look easy but with so much measuring and piecing it's actually quite tough if you've never crafted before. Nothing like in at the deep end but I'm so chuffed to be able to say they all rose to the TOP!

I have several more classes coming up - many of which are filling up fast but I'm really looking forward to getting back to teaching again after the long break over the summer. It's what I love to do.

Hi there:
I'm back on line so I'm seeing how it goes to comment on this last post. I'd be real interested to see the measurements, etc. as to how to make this card. Looks very nice. Mom
