2012 project - CSNW - Joan - part 1

As promised here are the photos from Joan's 2012 project.  I think you will find that Joan covered just about every type of card making style along with some techniques & more.  The challenge CSNW chose for the 2012 challenge was a card for every letter of the alphabet.

As there are quite a lot of photos I have split them in to 2 sets - but they are still in alphabetical order

A for Aperture.  I just about caught the little owl as he swung round.

B for Black & White.  It also has a little box frame on it too.

C for Cracker & I think Joan used the Wendy Stenton template

D for Diamond top card.  Love that trellis.

E for Embossing (that's the embossing folder type)

F for Flowersoft.  Love that street lamp stamp

G for Gatefold card - this is a really special one too.

the gatefold with the gates closed.

H for Handbag card - that is a really nice shape

I for Incire.  This is where cuts are made in a design & the pieces link

(the e at the end of Incire should have an accent above it but this programme cannot deal with that)

J is for Jigsaw card - love the sentiment that goes with it - very apt.

K is for Keepsake Boards.

L is for Lace (& again there should be an accent above the e).  The lace is in the pale blue medallion in the centre.  Another stencil that you cut through then link & overlap the cuts together.  Sort of weaving.

M is for Mola.  This is a technique with another stencil.  The shape is cut out as you in the cream card then other colours are placed underneath & part of the design cut away leaving a border.

This stencil technique was adapted from the rich embroidery style of the Kuna or Cuna Indians in Panama,

I found this picture of the embroidery on Google.  You can see where the template idea fits in.

N is for Never Ending card & this is a big big card.

another of the faces

and again

and the final one before returning to the start again.

Right I am off to load the second half of this project.  Back in a short while.
