Techniques

Tomorrow night will be the first of a monthly class I am beginning to teach -- Techniques! I used to teach one technique with every class that I taught, but my customers and downline have asked that I repeat so many of the techniques that I thought it might be a good idea to start a monthly class dedicated to learning techniques. Of course, we will also make a card using the new technique that we've learned. After all, that's half the fun!

These are the techniques that I will be teaching tomorrow evening:

Polished Stone


Definitely one of my favorite techniques. So much fun and the variety is endless. I like this card because with very little effort, it is a great masculine card.


Black Magic


This technique was by far the most requested. I decided to just do a 3 x 3 card so that they could make it with whatever sentiment they needed.


Crayon Resist


The sample card was pretty darn easy, but the main card had me stumped until I ran across a beautiful card designed by a lady named Manetta. I really like the way it turned out.


Spotlighting


Then last, but not least, is the old tried and true Spotlighting technique. The "Packed for" stamp sets in Stampin' Up!'s new mini are perfect for this technique. I want to thank Diana Echfield for the inspiration of that idea and for this card. I taught spotlighting a long time ago so that's why there are two demo cards -- each showing a different way to "spotlight" something on the card.

I think next month I will do the Shaving Cream technique as one of my cards. Thanks so much for stopping by. Please leave me a note to let me know that you visited. Thanks.

Yay! I'm so excited for tomorrow night. All of these cards look amazing, and I can't wait to learn how they're done :)
