Hamilton Extravaganza

As promised, here are the fabulous projects that were taught at the Hamilton Extravaganza last Sunday.  First up is the gorgeous friendship card that Helen Wigham and Karen Handler presented.  This beautifully feminine card was inspired by Cheryl Hamilton and uses the Honeybee Home Bundle from the Heart & Home Suite.

This is an Accordion Card.  When you slip off the belly band around the outside of the card, the inside has the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper folded like a concertina.  On each of the hill-folds are fun, stamped images.

Sally Williams and Lesley Scott taught this stunning Easy Stepper Card using the pretty Ranunculus Romance Bundle.  The background is stamped with images and then overlaid with vellum to give a lovely, soft finish.

Caz Hurst and Fiona Sisam designed this bright and cheerful card to showcase the three Tulips you can create using the Flowering Tulips Bundle.  I love the rich combination of these flowers in Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape, and Highland Heather.

The last project taught at the Hamilton Extravaganza was designed by Jacque Williams.  This popular project uses the Oceanfront stamp set, On the Horizon Bundle, and Pebbles Enamel Shapes to create a pretty seaside scene.

Some of that tranquil scene was brought inside the card too!

Because the day was run a little differently... that is there were two half-day sessions instead of the usual full-day event, the fifth project was not taught at the Hamilton Extravaganza.  Instead, everyone took home a prepared kit to create this fun-fold Tunnel Box Card.  This project was designed by Julie Dimatteo and I altered it to fit our standard A4 cardstock.  This thank you card folds flat and fits inside a C6 envelope.

And, there was a little sneaky bonus project, also inspired by Julie Dimatteo.  The three circles die-cut to create the Tunnel Card were used to create this fun Split Circle Card...
