Scrappy Strips Technique for on line Wednesday 1st April.

I will be demonstrating this card during my on line class so this blog post is simply a reminder and also has measurements.

This is a technique I have seen demonstrated by Bruno Bertucci a Stampin Up demonstrator in Australia.

I have used his idea and tweaked the sizes slightly for my class.

Here are the 3 cards we will be making.



My picture tutorial has the sizes for the smaller cards 


The material used are 
2inch punch, starburst punch , melon mambo, gorgeous grape and bermuse bay cardstock plus the sale a bration papers. 


Cut your cardstock as above. 

Trim your papers into asymetrical strips 

Lay your "scrappy pieces" out on the 13.9c, x 9.5 cm piece of card  starting with a straight edge. Once you are happy with the arrangement glue them down one at a time. 

Once the glue has dried , turn your layer over and trim off the excess. 

Finally layer up your card, add ribbon and a greeting. 

Happy Crafting everyone. 
Stay safe

More Bears !

EMBOSSED BABY BEAR This is clearly my favourite stamp set at the moment and I have been trying out lots of different colour combinations and techniques. Here are the finished cards and underneath I have done a step by step photo guide - which is a first for me. The bear is stamped in smoky slate and dapper denim, sponged in marina mist.  Bear is stamped in soft suede and early espresso and sponged with peekaboo peach. Here are my supplies all laid out First I stamped image no 2 of the stamp set on whisper white in pink pirouette. Remember to use your piercing mat or other foam pad underneath any photopolymer stamp sets so you get a good image. Then I stamped image no 3 of the set with melon mambo. It does take a bit of practice to line the stamps up so practice a few times first on scrap paper. I find it best to make sure the bear's bottom and the gap between arms and body are lined up. Then finally use image no 1 and versamark to ...

Online Class - Making Vellum Cards

Image
Thursday 16th July Today I'll be demonstrating how to make these pretty cards using vellum as a base. 1) Cut your A4 vellum to 10cm wide \nd then score along the long side at 14.9cm , 2) Cut 4 pieces of DSP to 10 cm wide x 7.5 cm long.  Take 2 pieces of paper, put the sides you do not want showing together and trim on the diagonal. TIP - make sure your paper is facing the correct way.   3) Stick the paper to the bottom of the front and back of the card and then add the insides making sure everything aligns nicely. 4) Decorate as required - I have used The Forever Greenery Bundle for the papers and die cuts.

Stampin Up Punch Art cards

PUNCH ART Here are a few of the samples that we will be making on Wednesday at the NSAAA (North Staffordshire Asperger's and Autism Society) craft evening.  I have taken my inspiration from all the wonderful designs on the internet. I really like the background to the angry bird card which is made using a sponge covered in blue ink and a little shimmer paint and sponged around a "cloud" which I have punched from the cupcake builder punch. The picture doesn't do it justice but the sky shimmers beautifully in real life.  Don't forget if any one wants to order Stampin Up products then I am rebating my commission to the NSAAA for any orders received between now and Thursday morning.  Hope you're all enjoying the wonderful weather on this bank holiday. I've already cleaned the car and later we're off out on the tandem for the first ride of the year. I bet at least 3 people will yell out " Oi mate - she's got her feet up at ...
