Clean & Simple Card Making Class 4 - Day 1 - Faux Ceramic Tiles

I seriously doubted my ability to make faux ceramic tiles, but to my surprise, it turned out even better than I thought it would! Can't wait to try this one again.

Clean & Simple Card Making Class 4 - Day 1 - 3D Emboss

This is another technique that I can use over and over - so very versatile. Sorry, my embossing powder got a little away from me on this first card!

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 1 - Heat Emboss & Mask

I had never tried using multiple colors of embossing powder on one design - too much fun!

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 2

Fell in love with border gap die cutting. So many possibilities! I still have more ideas that I want to try using this technique.

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 3 - Velveteen stamping

Another technique that looks harder than it actually is. I have learned SO much in this class!

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 3 - Gesso

I didn't have gesso for the gesso resist technique but found the Distress Stain picket fence worked really well. Another easy and fun technique!

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 4

I made 2 of the cards from today's class. Adored the faux embossing technique. I recently bought some of the new Stick It adhesive to try to use with my Silhouette and found that it worked perfectly with metal dies also. I wasn't thrilled how my second card turned out. I think maybe using 3 strands of embroidery floss might have looked better? I was really hoping to love this technique because I have lots of embroidery thread left over from my cross stitching days years and years ago.

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 5

I used a little bit of washi tape to create this card. Such a simple technique that makes a big impact!

Clean & Simple Card Making Class - Day 6

The class came at the perfect time. We had a blizzard here this weekend and I didn't have to work, so I had no choice but to stay inside and make cards. Makes for a happy mama! This card used the masked stripe background technique.

Clean & Simple Card Making Class 4 - Day 7

I haven't had the chance to take an online card class for a LONG time. This past week I finally took a class from onlinecardclasses.com and boy, oh boy, was it fun! Loved this technique of using 2 different embossing powders.
