Sneak Peek #2 Revealed!

Here is Thursday's card in all it's glory! This set by Just Rite is called Beautiful Day Borders and Centers. I bought it because one of the flower images is a snowdrop and I LOVE snowdrops. My Grandma used to grow the best snowdrops and I am lucky to have some of her bulbs in my current garden (and some lucky soul in North Delta has some too at my old house). I haven't yet had a chance to play with that image but hopefully soon.

If you want too see yet another sneak peak check out my Crafty Capers east coast design team member, Yvette's blog Classic Creations. She has an awsome card for "man cards".

Sneak Peek #1 revealed

Well here is our first sneak peek card in it's entirety. It was created by Leslie Graham and she will be teaching it today as our Free Open House Make and Take.

Did you guess what company it is? If not ta da - the new company is Just Rite Stampers they do an assortement unmounted stamps as well as their newer format cling stamps.

This card was done with the large oval set Greatest Joy Borders and Centers. The set comes with 4 borders, 3 flower images and 1 sentiment. So there is lots of versatility.

Leslie also used Just Rite's new set Happy Everything mini tag kit as well as a Just Rite Spellbinder die set. Yes, Spellbinder even makes dies just to match the Just Rite stamps - love it! Hope to see you at the Crafty Capers Open House today from 10 am - 3:00 pm.

Burnished Velvet in 2011

A friend showed me a card done using Glitter Ritz and the burnished velvet and I must admit it is a technique I have not done for at least a year or so. I figured I should pull out my glitter since it has not seen the light of day in a while (OK I lied it actually sits out on my table all the time so it is always in the light).

I began this card by cutting a square of Be Creative tape sheet. I then stuck the tape to a piece of Bazzill cardstock. I then used my trusty craft knife and cut out various rolling lines and applied different colors of Glitter Ritz glitter.

I finished the card by using some Kaisercraft Lilac Avenue die cut elements. I really love these die cut colors lavender, kiwi green and yellow. So beautiful and it finished up the card quickly. I like that too. I managed to make a book mark with some of the other elements and I still have some elements left for more projects! Very economical!

Thanks for stopping by!

Shimmer Card Class

For those looking for something to do tonight (Jan 28)there is still room in tonight's Shimmer card class starting at 6:00 pm. We'll make 4 cards using shimmery paper 1 of which is a Valentine. Contact Crafty Capers at 250-585-0022 if you are interested in registering. Preregistration is required.

Now onto the card. This was supposed to be a Valentine card but morphed into a thinking of you card! I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer so I think I will pop this one in the mail to her. She could use a pick me up.

I'm quite pleased with myself this card was made entirely of scraps from my bin and I accidently embossed the hot pink circle with the hearts upside down so had to cut another circle and start again! Watch out the Crafts Too You tiny hearts folder is tricky and it is very easy to emboss the hearts upside down!! lol And if your crafting partners are like mine they don't even show any sympathy when you screw up like that!

The bunny was colored with my Tombow Markers on watercolor paper and the decorative edge of the My Mind's Eye designer paper was done with my 10+year old Fiskar's "wiggly scissors".

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you at the class.
