Today I will share with you the four other Auckland November Christmas Extravaganza card creations that were taught earlier this month. If you missed seeing the first card I shared, which was taught by Sylvia and I, you can see it here.
The Decorated with Happiness card presented by Sally Williams and Lesley Scott was made with the Decorated with Happiness bundle. It was inspired by a card by Andrea Sargent. The background windows were cut with the Picture This dies. The Evening Evergreen die-cut leaves were brushed with the Craft White ink pad to give the card a softer look. The gold baubles and ribbon nicely complement it.
This card created by Jacque Williams features the Ringed with Nature bundle. The bundle includes a stamp set, die set and embossing folder which all work together to create the texture die-cut wood shapes.
Here is the inside of the card:
Here is a card taught by Heather Stewart and Judith Ferguson. It is a square card that opens up into a bigger square. It features the Holly Berries dies, Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, Boughs of Holly DSP and Textural Elements embellishments.
The final card features the Window Wishes bundle. It was created by Karen Halder and Helen Wigham. It creates a lovely summery Christmas scene.
Here are some photos of the event. The top two photos are the decorated bags I made for each customer. It had the instructions and card kits inside. The bottom left photo shows some of the people busily crafting. The photo on the bottom right is a couple of the many card displays we had on the day.
This Auckland Extravaganza event is held three times a year. We will be holding it again next year in March, July and November. It is a great way to spend an enjoyable afternoon of crafting with others who share the same passion as you. You get to try new product, learn new techniques and make some wonderful cards.
