January Card Club Pt 1

The first card club of 2015 turned out to be a crafternoon just the 2 of us as I was the only one who wanted to do the daytime class, gotta love shift patterns where you get odd weekdays off to make the most of everywhere being quiet.

Suriya had a couple of gifts for me to play with. With one of them I made the cards below.

I used:

• Washi Tape Note Cards Kit
• Elegant Butterfly punch
• Bitty Butterfly punch
• Strawberry Slush ink
• Good Greetings stamp set

I also helped her whip up some desktop calenders to post out to her customers wanting catalogues... I even got a calender to take home too.

Now onto the cards and things we made.

I used:

• Sheltering Tree stamp set
• Strawberry Slush ink
• Daffodil Delight ink
• Wild Wasabi ink
• Early Espresso ink
• Whisper White cardstock
• Itty Bitty Accents punch

Then a simple card to practice some Blendabilities colouring skills.
