Just For You Dad

My third father's day card, this time for my dad, again using a non-fathers day sentiment. I've used Mojo Monday #101 as my sketch for this one. I've used Parisian Breeze DSP, I love this stuff, it's so thick and the texture is great!

Hostess Thank You gifts

I have a workshop booked tonight with a group of new customers and as a little thank you for the hostess I made this little gift boxed set of love notes, there are 2 of each card in the box and the best thing is that once she's used the cards she can use the box as a gift as well if she likes.
To make the box I followed this tutorial on SCS, I realised half way through that my box was very similar to the sample, since I used the same DSP pack, Whoops!
These are the 2 cards I made to match
Anyway, wish me luck! It's been a while since I've done a workshop rather than a class. I'll be back over the next few days to share the projects that we made, as well as the lucky door prizes I will be handing out to 2 lucky girls.

Terrific Techniques "Wax on, Wax off" project 2 Wax Resist Background

Back again with our 2nd project from the "Wax on Wax off" Terrific Techniques class. This card was really hard to photograph so you will have to use your imagination a little for the background lol.
I used this great tutorial by Stephanie Pike. A big tip that I found out the hard way: your waxed paper has to actually be waxed paper not baking paper, other wise you end up with some beautifully brayered pieces of cardstock with no pattern lol. Until I tried this I had always assumed the 2 were the same thing but I found some Black & Gold brand waxed paper with the cling wrap at our local IGA supermarket for a ridiculously cheap price. I should say a big thanks to the girls on SCS who answered my cry for help when i first started having trouble and who suggested to make sure it was wax paper not baking paper.
