Day 4&5 Patterned Play online card class

Hi Guys, so finally Ive gotten around to uploading the last two cards that I did for the online card class Patterned Play. I really like this class and the ideas that the instructors and even some of the students have when it comes to creating with patterned paper. I would have never thought about such things as altering or making embellishments out of your patterns. But that is what I did. my technique is a little more subtle than the instructor but I think it was just enough to give the paper a little pizazz and well within my comfort levels. lol.

Ok so this first one is just some hearts that I stickled and then cut out some bigger hearts and burnished with glitter.

Products used:
Bazzill Marshmallow Cardstock

This next card was my failed attempt at basket weaving that resulted in just strips of patterned paper on a die cut card base. however I did make my own embellishments using a piece of patterned paper and those adorable enamel dots that I've fallen in love with.

I hope you enjoyed both cards

Day 1-3 Pattern Play Online Card Class

Didn't I say in my first post for online Card Class Clean & Simple that I'm no blogger? Well as you can see I haven't posted since the last day of the last class. Yikes. I really wanted to do better with blogging my work. All I can promise is to work on it!

So since I'm here I thought I'd share with you all the new class brought to you by Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire and its Pattern Play. This class is all about how to use pattern paper. Today was the first day I had where I could sit down and actually try some of the techniques that the ladies presented. It's day 4 already but I have cards below for days 1-3.
