Stampin’ Up! By the Dock Bundle Easel Card Video Tutorial

May 6, 2020

Yeah, I kinda like the Stampin’ Up! By the Dock Bundle…this time it became an easel card.

I used Seaside Spray for my blue on this card and a bright green Granny Apple Green. I think it really worked with the Night of Navy Frame and the So Saffron sun. Believe me when I tell you I sometimes try a lot of different colors to see which ends up to my liking. Frequently,  I change it days later. I first had a Daffodil Delight sun but liked So Saffron better…no rhyme or reason…just liked it better. Do you ever do that?

 Well, anyhoo, here’s a video showing how easy it is to make an easel card and some little tips using the Stitched Shapes and Rectangle Dies. Please forgive the shadows at the end of the video when my light went out…thankfully, the bulb was just loose in the socket. I should have just reached up to check it! But then it would have been hot… and I might have burnt myself…and my hands would have been compromised…and maybe I could not stamp for awhile…and we would not want that to happen!

 

So, what about the boat? Are you Team Crumb Cake or Team Real Red?

Measurements:
Card Base: 4-1/8″ x 11″ scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side
Night of Navy Frame: Largest Stitched Rectangle 3-3/4″ x 5-1/8″

Stampin’ Up! Pedal to the Metal Retiform Technique Video Tutorial

March 18, 2020

My friend Lisa needed a card for her son, Richard. He is celebrating the big 16!
He’s our official Bingo caller at my events- a really nice young man! I think he will like the card:)

I made this card using the Retiform Collage Technique. It reminds me of a cool project I did in art class when I was in school.
It’s fun, give it a try with one of your stamp sets. text me a pic if you do!

 

I liked just free form cutting around the sentiment on this one. What do you think?

February 2020 Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project

February 24, 2020

My daughter and I got our February 2020 Paper Pumpkins!!! It is just darling!
Take a look at this video showing the kit:

 

Although the February 2020 Lovely Day Kit has INSTANT gratification with its contents, I made an alternative project made with items in the kit…a Spinner Card! And yes, I adhered the spinner circle to a stronger fishing line FIRST and THEN adhered the fishing line with the circle attached to the top and bottom of the opening with Tear & Tape under the fishing line and on top of the fishing line- held really well!

Last Wednesday’s video shows how to make a Spinner Card. On this card, since it already had an opening, I just placed a layering circle die (1-7/8″) that fit inside it so I knew how big to make my spinning circle- Photo 1. Then I placed the template on my card base front and traced the inside of the circle- Photo 1.  Then I put a larger circle (2-5/8″ ) that was bigger than the opening and smaller than the template on the right side- Photo 2. Then I removed the template and die cut the front of the card base- Photo 2. Then the template fits right in place and notice how the scallops show through on the back just perfectly in the photo above:)
