Technique Class Reminder

Today I wanted to send out a reminder about the Technique Class on Sat. March 10th @ 11:00.  We will be working with the Bruscho, shaving cream, Embossing Paste and who knows what else I might throw in.

If  you want to come get your creative juices flowing and fingers all inky, then join my on Sat. the 10th. (I will provide gloves for those who don't want to leave with stained hands)

Snacks and drinks will be provided, you just need to bring your own adhesive.

You can use the pay pal button here. Or pay with cash or check the day of.

Let me know if you have any questions, and please RSVP by March 6th, so I can have the right amount of packets ready.

I also rescheduled the Spring/Birthday Card Class to March 31st @ 11:00. Check out the detail here.  This is the last day of Sale-a-Bration, so it would be a great time to get all those free items.

Now on today's project.

I wanted to use the new Springtime Foils DSP (free with $50.00 purchase before S&T).  I am going to show you 4 different backgrounds I created with this beautiful DSP.

This one I spritzed the background with Pacific Point Spritzer.  What is spritzer you ask.  I take 20-30 drops of re-inker and put it in a spray bottle and a little spoon full of Pearl-X.  If you have a little too much pooling going on, you can dab with a paper towel.

Stamp phrase in Pacific Point punch both layers with Triple Banner Punch.  Die the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon with the same Spritzer.  Add bling and assemble!

This next one I used the Basic Grey Ink.

For this all you need to do is drag the ink pad from top to bottom until you get the desired effect you are looking for.  I then buffed over the top to remove the ink from the embossed areas.

Die cut & punch the pieces out of the Basic Black before layering everything up.  Stamp the phrase in Basic Gray and Punch.  Add Bling and assemble!  This one would make a great man b-day card.

Next, I used a sponge with Lemon Lime Twist!

Doesn't this just jump out and say SPRING!

Now do you see those little sprigs of ribbon behind the die cut words.  I had a little piece of ribbon left over and decided to pull it apart.  I took those pieces and just attached them to the back.  Colored the pearl with the Old Olive Light Stampin Blends.  I thought it went with the Lemon Lime Twist!

Last one I of course had to use the Brusho.  I used the Blue and Yellow.  Love this effect!  Sprinkle the Brucho on and spritz with water.  If you get too much pooling going on, just use a paper towel to soak it up.  You can set it aside to dry or dry with a heat gun.

Die Cut the Celebrate and stamp with Basic Black and Whala!

I added Wink of Stella to the Celebrate and attached the Metallic Thread on the back!

Now I only used the one background but this paper comes with 4 different backgrounds.  So much potential with this paper.

Stampin Palooza Projects

Hello,

So it's been a couple weeks since my last post.  First I was very busy getting ready for Stampin' Palooza check out the details here for the next one. Then I spent some time cleaning my craft room before putting everything away.  It seems to always be a work in progress.

So at the Jan. Stampin Palooza we made a total of 6 cards.  Today I am going to show you 3 and 3 on the next post.

So we did a Retiform or (Retro as I call it) card using the Petal Pallet Stamp set.

• Take Post It notes and tape off a section of the card.

• In the taped off section start sponging lighter to darker with the sponge daubers (Keepin mind Island Indigo can get really dark)

• Stamp desired stamp with Island indigo on top of section.

• Cover the area you just stamped with post it notes and tape off a new section.

• Repeat sponging and stamping.

• Repeat these steps until whole paper is complete.

• You have an option of leaving a white space between each section, or no space at all.

• Attach ribbon.

The next project I am going to show you is the Daffodil Card, but I kept calling it a Lily, using the  your Inspiring Stamp set. My mistake I guess I don't know my flowers.

 

• Take the piece of printer paper and tear it in half.
• With the easy release tape, tape down each half about an inch from each side of the Shimmer paper.
• Start sponging from lighter to darker in the open area.
• Remove the printer paper and stamp Lily stamp in Basic Black.
• Color inside of Lily with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers.
• Attach Ribbon to Shimmer Paper.
• Attach all layers together.

This was a simple quick and easy card to make.

The next one is The Pop up Box, or (Invisible Box) That is what Julie DiMatteo @ The Paper Pixie refereed to it as.

Along with the instructions I am attaching the link to The Paper Pixie.  Julie has a great video on haw to make this box.

• On the long side of the card stock score @ 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”.
• On the short side score @ 2”, 5”,6”,7”.
• Fold down to the second score line on the 8 ½” side and put a tick mark on 1”, 3”, 5”, 7”.
• Cut away areas per the diagram on the right.
• Fold down the 1^st score line before burnishing all folds.  This will help the box form up and be able to do the up and down slide.
• Attach Tear & Tape to the tab and to the bottom and fold up the box.
• At this point you will be able to slide the box up and down and you want to do this a few times.
• Put the box in the closed position and glue the last tab in place.
• Stamp phrase on Whisper White and punch with 1 1/8” Scalloped Circle Punch.
• Punch 1 3/8” Scalloped Circle Punch out of Powder Pink or Lemon Lime Twist.
• Stamp Flower and die cut.
• Attach flower with glue dots.
• Attach Ribbon and attach Scalloped Circles with dimensionals. 

 This is a diagram of what you need to cut away.

I hope you enjoyed 3 of the 6 projects from Stampin' Palooza.
