DAY 6 - A HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD Just in time ... A friend's Mom is celebrating her birthday and I wanted to create something a bit special. The Flowers are from Creative Fabrica. The font used is called Clarendon Blk BT, I don't remember where I found it.

Here is my day 7 made with the Diamond template. I food items are from C F "Barbecue-Cookout-SVG-Clip-Art-69956312" The red white blue ribbon is cass-Bow16-Sample-Blue-White-Red-Ribbonfrom Cassel. The eyelet is from cass-Eyelet2-sample The font is Freestyle Script. The blue sky with cloud top paper if form a photo I took a couple of years ago. I had fun with this one, but can't say I had fun trying to do the envelope, but I finally got it done, hopefully right. I suspect I will never use either one though, but I at least wrote down the instructions on how to make one.

Here's my Day 4. The cute kitty is from CF and the font is Scoot Charrita which we got free from CF via Cassel's Big 10 Event a few years ago. I used Cass corner punch B-999-17 and erased the outer edge because I thought it resembled cat paws this way.

Hello, here is my CardWorkshop-Card6 done with 2 photos from L'internaute and the ribbon designed by me.

My previous Peony Stamp was a bit low res.

My print outs have come out at the right dimension so I thought I would do another version of a card with the matching envelope using the popular Scrapbook square format. This one is 11cm card but the max I can do with an envelope is 14.5cm square. This card will just have one fold. The peony photo is mine and the background has a 'Paper' effect (Effects/Texture/Paper. I have made a pretend postage stamp for the envelope. No royalty on this one but instead a Brush Tip 'FancyFlower' with a small inner bevel. The Selection border around had the perforations made with the Eraser tool, size:30, Steps 118. (note to self!)

Here is my CardWorkshop-Card7. The flowers come from the: Pandora Florals Kit from Creative Fabrica .

@Jeni Simpson Papyrus is definitely a traditional font to be used. @kasany Yes, a less ornate font is easier to read. @Michele Just a little trick if you want to add a link: link the text instead of adding the link separately, especially if it is a FB link as they are so long. @Julie Magerka Lovely cards for lovely people! @fiona cook Those dimensions SHOULD work. You just have to make sure that the printer you are using (if you are using at home) uses 300ppi. You might want to test it. @Doska St. Let me send you an email to check a few things to help with the freeze, ok? @MoniqueN. This shadow effect is great and it does give the impression of a thicker paper. @Donna Sillia When you want to create just an arc, the easiest way is to make three points: beginning, middle, and end, and change the nodes to Symmetric. Don't even try to make it freehand. It is a nightmare! 😉 @Louyse Toupin As I was scrolling to your card and saw the croc, I was wondering what kind of greeting card you were making, until I read it! @Anja Pelzer Those black gnomes stand out on the red/pink card. Great choice. @Randy Maybe that font is standard? I know I have it too and use it regularly. @Anne Lamp Who knows when you might use one of those in the future? If you don't use those, you might create new ones! Now, it is the last "daily post for me. If you encounter any issue, don't hesitate to post and I will respond (I get a notification for every single post in the forum!) Also, remember to fill out the survey about this workshop! I find it interesting that some registrants have filled out the survey but never posted any of their projects. But that is ok. Maybe some are uncomfortable posting their projects. Keep them coming if you are not finished.

Well, I've been working on my wild cat calendar for June so I thought I'd show it off as it has been created in May. I'll post it full size on Facebook so it can be printed @ 8.5 x 11 inches. I used a cass template from last year's calendar workshop. Introducing the critically endangered beautiful little Andean Mountain Cat from South America. The fonts are Wakanda for the June title and Britannia Bold for the rest. I love his little white moustache!

After reading the latest blog post about using a split page, I downloaded one of the templates, and came up with this. Organza ribbon, (used Carole's bow script), paper bow. Banner from the masterclass. I was fortunate enough yesterday to witness these two 5-6 week old ground squirrels emerge from their undergound nursery for the very first time. They were so tiny, one would fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. Unfortunately, that wasn't likey to happen.

A get well soon card. Flowers are formCreative Fabrica, font I don't remember. The paper and the stripes are meant to be printed, the rest is thick paper 🙂

I created the card with my peony photo as a 5"x7" 1500x2100 and decided to set the envelope up to suit UK A4 standard size so I can use it for future. A4 210x297mm = 8.3"x11.7"". In pixels (8.3x300dpi) 2490 x3510. I hope I have understood this. The envelope (not shown) was a little clunky where I had applied the Pic tool Perspective scale on the flaps so I might redo that. I also liked the idea of printing a design on the envelope or maybe a pretend stamp. The font on card is The Billion. Loved the lace. So pretty.

Lessons 6 (extra template) & 7 The grad pic is actually a former college student of mine who went on to law school and invited me to his call to the bar. The 100th birthday pic is a former teacher of mine who celebrated that milestone a couple of years ago and is still with us. She did get many greetings and cards for that occasion.

I like how you have the flowers "spilling over" the oval.

A bit late but I had so many other things to do first, like the card workshop and the photo album about my trip. Both are finished now, my album is at the print service and they estimate it will be ready on Saturday. I like the DIY challenges so I did this about the visit to Yosemite National Park. The waterfalls were spectacular because in Spring they carry a lot of water from the melting snow. The background is a full size photo of one of the falls with a heavy blur and the blendmode color, the paper underneath was a muted green. On the rectangle with the word Yosemite I used a holiday punch from Carole because when I was there we had snow as well as rain and sunshine. The 2 smaller rectangles are papers glued together with some washi tape by Marissa Lerin which I have in my stash. I gave the dots a color and a slight bevel.

Oh, they are adorable.

I think you are twins...I have a hard time telling you apart...🤣 You both have a hat on and you both wear glasses, totally twins!

Carole it already is such an old logo! It is approximately 20 years but I like it and all my family and friends always look for it on the back of my cards. I only change it for X-mas.

Actually, I did use Text on a path, but my path was wonky. I remade it using a path that more closely followed the line on the banner.

Once again, the Mountain Laurel is having a bountiful year. Template 221 by Lady 22.

Corrected L.6, Card6.

Card 7, at last. I wanted this card to be softer and more feminine than others I have completed. I chose a photograph I took many years ago of a rose bush, although just the roses, I wanted a bouquet-ish look. The ribbon comes from Melo Vrijhof of Digital Scrapbook. This was colourised to match the lemon coloured rose at the bottom of the photograph, using Adjust > Hue and Saturation > Hue Map, something I had never noticed before, thank you, Carole. The font I used is one of my favourites, Romantically Free for personal by maisfontes. I angled it to fit in line with the ribbon without having to reduce to too small a size, and, I think, it works on the angle. Jeni

Card 6 at last. I found this beautiful tube of ships at sea and thought of all my ancestors who travelled to New Zealand from various ports around the world, so thought to wish them all Bon Voyage on their 2-3 month journeys. I used a font I have always loved, Papyrus. It has been around forever, and I love the beauty of this font. I added a light drop shadow to the ellipse of the image because it was a soft tube. Jeni

There were a bunch of butterflies in different colors. I picked these because I wanted to go with a more colorful card. I did consider colorizing some grey tone butterflies, but I liked these colors.

Thank you, Carole, I was delighted at how it looked, it is such a clean and good-looking font. Tup Wanders, from the Netherlands, created the font and it is available for free on a few font sites, eg, Da Font, Font Squirrel, Font Space, 1001 Fonts, and possibly others.

Thanks for the Lessons I learned a lot more to make more.

Finally got to #4 - this took some time; I had a rough time getting the punches to work correctly. VERY interesting.

Card 6. The image is from Freepik. The ribbon was created using a script. Font is called Handmade (from Creative Fabrica). The green border has a simple line added to it as a pattern.

Nice way to use the pictures 🙂

Day 6 Watercolur picture is from Creative fabrica Veni is the font I liked the "out of bound"(?) effect of the ellips.

Day 5 The stack toy is from Creative fabrica Font veni

Day 2 I love vintage cards 🙂 Font is Victorian parlor

Lesson 6 Another favorite quote. Photo from the web.

Lesson 3 Images are from the web.

My card 5. I’m trying to catch up so I’ve kept this one really simple. The vector image is from Freepik. The font is Cookie and the strip is a PSP Pattern.

Nothing wrong with goofy! LOL

L1. Card1. I used my material and font. I'll use the card this year. I'll send it to my family hence merry Christmas is written in my native language.

There are a million ways…. from your own photos. Just a woods with a creek photo, say, then blown up to the smallest side being 3600 pixels (or whatever size you’re after). Backgrounds can be blurry with the resize. Crop to,size. Put your zip line or camping photos on it. a photo of a parking garage wall, a stucco wall, an elevator door…..resize, place on a colored paper and mess with the blending modes, maybe “multiply” then move the transparency slider to 40% and see what it looks like. You can use packing peanuts, a park bench back, old wooden storage barn, peeled paint fence or wall. I used my wood floors, and also a painted wall where you could see the puckers of the paint roller. As long as the “original” is over 12” square, it will work. (I use 16” as my parameter) photo of Kraft paper, waxed paper, butcher paper, florist paper, cardboard box panel, packing paper (even if it’s been crumbled). Then add color. And blend modes, use those sliders! as long as it’s for your own use, these are sometimes popular: scan or take a photo of newspaper, wrapping paper, wallpaper. When you have it, start looking at textures. effects-texture, texture. Add one that is subtle, but not too subtle. I find this the trickiest. Post your results!
