Are you ready? I made another video! This was a fun technique that I taught at my Hands-On class last month. The class was all about Baker’s Twine and different ways to use it. In this video I’m going to show you how I used Baker’s Twine to make a cool stamp! I’m still learning how to create videos so sorry for the shadow puppets at the beginning, and for moving off the screen a couple of times. Hopefully you can hear me better – I tried to talk louder – that was the most common comment from my first video. I learn something new every time!
Here is the card that I’ll be showing you. You can see the original post for this card HERE.
I hope you enjoy the video and this fun technique!
Let me know what you think. Could you hear me better?
A rainbow card today. I told you the other day I had lots of rainbow things going on and this was one of them. This one is slightly different because I used the Summer Smooches Designer Series paper so a couple of the colors in my rainbow changed – O became Tangerine Tango, G is Lucky Limeade and then BI is Island Indigo.
This card idea came from another demonstrator (Colleen Vassos) that won one of the monthly art contests that Stampin’ Up! has. Each month the winners are published in our demonstrator only magazine called Stampin’ Success. It’s packed full of ideas and projects and there are ideas and MDS articles as well as business tips for us. I read it cover to cover every month.
Cut the strips of DSP and attach to a piece of card stock and layer that on the Crumb Cake card base. I used the paper flowers with a Rich Razzleberry button in the center – tied with some white baker’s twine. The Teeny Tiny Wishes set adds the greeting that was punched with the Word Window punch. She sure did create a cute card!
And finally I did record another video today. I’m going to try to edit so that I can post on Wed but it may be Friday.
I have another scrapbook layout for you today. This was the other layout from the July class.
I was in a rainbow phase back at the end of July – I made several cards with this rainbow of colors and this scrapbook layout – and really some of my swaps for convention too. I have been using the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper for my rainbow projects. It’s the perfect pack of paper! Remember from school – ROY G BIV – that’s the rainbow – and it keeps running through my head. So my Stampin’ Up! rainbow converts to this –
R= Real Red
O= Pumpkin Pie
Y= Daffodil Delight
G= Old Olive
B= Marina Mist
IV= Rich Razzleberry
The layout used pieces of every color of the designer paper and then I punched flowers in the same colors and layered on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the large flowers first punch the center hole – then punch the flower around it with the Blossom punch. For the smaller flowers I cut them with the Floral Fusion Sizzlet and my Big Shot and then punched the center holes afterwards. I used the punched holes along with some extras to decorate the top colors of the layout.
Underneath I used the Loving Thoughts stamp set and stamped various words underneath. Now to find some pictures to put on this layout. Yes in case you wonder I scrap in an odd way – I make pages that I like and then try to find pictures to put on them. Sometimes I do have pictures in mind before I start a layout but not necessarily. And I scrap very randomly too – not in any particular order – just whatever I want. I’m doing it “MY WAY”!
Have fun with this idea! Maybe I’ll translate this into a set of cards – how fun would that be!
I haven’t shared any of my scrapbook layouts from the past couple of months so I thought I better catch up on that. We made this layout in my July class. It uses the Patio Party Designer Series paper and the color palette from that.
I used Bakers Twine to create little banners with punched circles and a pennant. The In-Colors Dahlia’s add a fun little element to the banners. The title letters are cut out of Chipboard and “painted” with the ink pads. I used the Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit colors – just lay the chipboard letter face down in the ink pad and press it into the pad – cover it with a scrap piece of card stock or wear some gloves to keep your fingers from getting inky. Let the letters dry.
Have a fun weekend! I’m hoping to post more layouts this weekend and also record a couple of videos. Plus work on swaps and finish the ribbon and paper shares – all the ribbon is cut just need to package it up. But tonight we will be going to the football game to watch Ryan and the band (and I guess we will watch the football game too). I think it will be a nice night for high school football!
Hey everyone! It’s Thursday and time for a new weekly challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. This week we have a color challenge – Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, and Lucky Limeade – some very rich looking colors.
This card idea came from a sample in the Stampin’ Success magazine. The magazine sample used different stamps and different colors but a similar layout and I really liked the bottom that resembled a picket fence. So I decided to use the idea for my card this week. Then I added this card to my Card Maker’s club that I had yesterday.
To make the picket fence I first punched the scallop edge on my strip of card stock. Then I used the Simply Scored Tool to score in between each scallop. Next I folded on all the score lines and I ran each fold through my Whisper White craft ink pad.
