In today's class we honoured all the dads out there and created some male orientated cards . I decided to try a Peek s Boo shutter card . I had admired the one I received in a swap at retreat created by Michelle Dickinson and took my measurements from Michelle's card - such a fun person and great to spend time with !
There were 3 designs to choose from and when you open the card the shutter opens to reveal the greeting .

Next up was a card using the Bubble Over set . This card was spritzed with a new product coming out in the Holiday catalogue , Champagne Shimmer Paint - can you se the shimmer ? We used some of the Woodgrain textures DSP and some retired re foil sheets to create this card .
Lastly , we created this beautiful card which I cased from Amanda Bates , such a stunning card ! i , however kept my design to a regular sized card rather than a square card .
It is quite simple to create , temporarily adhere your Whisper White art piece to the card , then stamp your art piece creating your lovely scene . Remove the white piece and add the blue matt . I love using the waterfront set , it's so easy to create a scenic stunning card .
This class will go ahead this Saturday , contact me if you'd like to create these cards or to place an order .
