Beyond the Basics | Ink Blending Class

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

If you’re ready to take your cardmaking skills up a notch, my Beyond the Basics upcoming in person class is designed just for you!

This class is all about building confidence with techniques that elevate your cards from simple to truly special — without making them complicated.  We’ll be focusing on ink blending, stencils, stamping, embossing and sprays to create layered, eye-catching designs that are still easy to recreate at home.

Today’s card is one that I’m rejecting as I’ve just received new Rub-0ns which I want to incorporate into the class too.  Why waste the work I’ve already done hey.

As I wanted the background to be the star of the show, I’ve kept the card design fairly simple by adding a simple sentiment & embellishment.  The cardstock colours are very neutral too.

If you’ve ever felt comfortable with the basics but ready for more, this class is for you.

Stay tuned for registration details — I can’t wait to create with you!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!

January Class | Fun Fold Card #1 | Mintay Papers | Academina Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Crafty Friends,

We kicked off the new year with such a fun and creative January class!

There’s nothing better than starting the year with fresh paper, pretty supplies and time spent crafting together.

This month we created a fun fold card featuring the gorgeous Mintay Papers – Academina Collection.  I just love the vintage, scholarly feel of these papers — all the books, ledgers and soft, classic colours make this collection so unique and perfect for layering.

Everyone had a great time learning the folds, building the layers and adding those special little details that make each card one-of-a-kind.  Fun fold cards always look impressive but are so much easier than they seem… which makes them extra satisfying to create!

Thank you to everyone who joined me — crafting with friends is truly the best part.  I can’t wait to share what we’re making next month!

Until next time – stay inspired & keep creating!
