Online Card Classes: Spring Card Camp 2022

I signed up for the Spring Card Camp 2022 at Online Card Classes. It’s two weeks full of different cardmaking techniques. I’m looking forward to the challenge of doing things I don’t normally consider. Hopefully I don’t get discouraged or frustrated, as it is supposed to be fun!

Llama Birthday

Today’s card is a simple one, with a cute little llama from Lawn Fawn. I used gingham paper, also from Lawn Fawn, layered together. The happy scripty die cut was placed across the top. The circle die is from Spellbinders, and the flag die is from Art Impressions.

Pop-Up Platform

The pop-up platform die from Lawn Fawn is so much fun. I used the Gotta Have Gingham petite paper pack, and the platform pop-up add-on. The tiny characters fit in perfectly.

I Didn’t Planet That Way

Everyone misses recognizing a birthday every once in awhile. Lawn Fawn has a stamp and die set just for that occasion that is out of this world! The background paper is Galaxy from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

Flying By to Say Hi

Here is another card that could be used for many things. I used it as a birthday card. The pilot image is from Kindred Stamps, and is colored with Copic markers. It was cut out with my Brother Scan ‘n Cut. The adorable paper is from Carta Bella, which is part of Echo Park Paper.

Dragon Adventure

Lawn Fawn makes seriously cute stamps and dies. This pinwheel tower birthday card features an adorable little dragon, along with Echo Park paper. The “Happy Birthday” is from Sweet Sentiment.
