Online Card Class - Clean & Simple Card Day 10

I must have tried to get a card with an un-embossed space at least 10 times.  Then I read the instructions - mostly looked at the pictures, and realized I needed 2 shims!  Doh!  Amazingly it worked the 1st time!  So, I have numerous sheets of partially embossed white paper - I will use them.

I am sad that this class is over.  It is my favorite Online Card Class - ever.  I really like the day in the middle.  I feel like I was more inspired to create a card.  The methods covered were AWESOME!    I know I am going to use these methods over and over.  I am going to go to Kelly Paper this week and get 110 lb Neenah Solar White - I loved using that paper for single layer cards - I have 2 reams of 80 lb - on super smooth.

Operation Write Home Sketch 217

I guess I must have more motivation... I made 4 cards for this sketch.  They aren't all exactly the same - but pretty close.  I usually don't make multiples, but I am trying it.  I made the cards with the intent of making them flat and not embellishing.  I realized I have to add something!

Online Card Class - Clean & Simple 3

I am so far behind!  I believe this card is for day 9.  I made 2 actually - but sent one off to a friends hubby for his birthday.  Where the Happy Birthday is stamped is not embossed.  I used a Tim Holtz oval diffuser to get the blank area. 

Another Fun Clean & Simple Card

Hi again.  I think this card is for day 7/8.  I have to say I loved making this card.  I cut out a word from my card base and then used my Copics on vellum.  I really enjoyed this.  The colors weren't just right - so I added more - and moved the vellum around.  What fun!

A Few Operation Write Home Cards

My motivation has been found --- and activated!  I am so happy!  My only problem is that I have been working on cards after I have taken a sleeping pill..... Consequently, I have mess in the morning I do not remember making.  And cards started that I don't remember....  YIKES!  Going to have work on that!

Inlaid Grafitti Cards

Here are 2 cards I made for the Clean & Simple 3 class.  I was practicing the inlaid word method, and found I need to buy lots more words, because this is such a cool method!  I also used the graffiti technique.  It is really fun as well.

I found my desk a mess this morning - and this card!  I had already taken Ambien and had no recollection of making this!
 

Online Card Class - Clean & Simple 3 - Day 3/4

I am enjoying making one-layer cards.  White space still scares the heck out of me!  Also, stopping scares me.  I feel like I should add more and more and more!  Since I am a bit behind - here is the card I created ---- I will probably make more today--- because it was really fun!
