Easy Reflection Technique

October 4th, 2009 by craftdoc

I want to tell you how to do the Reflection Technique that I featured at the last class.  (See the Autumn Days pheasant card in the previous post).    For this example I used the Winter Post stamp set.  I brayered the background with Brocade Blue and So Saffron.  Where they meet, there formed a bit of greenery for the background.  You could also use sponging for your colors.  Stamp your image above the edge of the water (here I stamped in Soft Suede).  Then stamp again on a cellophane bag (we carry these in 3 sizes).  Flip the bag, place the image below the water edge and rub.  SO EASY!  Then just wipe off your bag so you can reuse it.  You can’t see it but my snowflakes are sparkly - stamped with Frost White Shimmery paint (we carry these in 3 colors).  I also added a few drops of paint to a small bit of 70% alcohol in a spray bottle to make the Night of Navy mat shimmery too.  At the bottom are two torn layers of vellum (we carry vellum in 2 weights).

Happy World Card Making Day!

October 3rd, 2009 by craftdoc

The September club order just came in so I’m posting instructions for the shutter trifold card that I will be including for those who missed class.  I have one kit left, so post a comment and I’ll randomly pick a number next week to send it out to a fellow card maker in celebration of WCM day.  I’m taking orders for the Deal of the Week Punches so contact me soon so I can combine orders to save on shipping or order online if you do not live in the Erie area.

1.  Stamp your panels with any stamp set (I used Party Hearty).  Mount on panels  2 of 1 x 2 -1/2 and 1 of 2 x 3.  Mats are 1/4 inch larger in each direction.

2.  Mount DSP panels 2 each at 5 -1/4 by 1- 1/2 and 3- 1/4 x 1- 1/4

3.  Fold according to picture. The middle part will be opposite the edges.

4.  Decorate further if desired - I added some circles.

Here are directions to make the card base if you want to make some more of these fun cards-

5 -1/2 x 10 -1/2 CS

Score at 1 -3/4 and 3- 1/2 from both ends. 

Turn, cut between first and last folds at 1 -1/2 from each side.

Sweet Treat Turkey

October 2nd, 2009 by craftdoc

….Or should I say “Salty Treat”.  I already ate all my extra M&M’s:( but I found some mixed nuts in the cupboard for this cute turkey card.  The turkey was inspired by a project made by Connie Collins.  I made the card refillable and resusable with my pocket and tag technique (tutorial in an earlier post).

turkey-copy.jpg

I punched (1 3/4″) the card front at the bottom and added the treat cup to the FRONT of the card.  I punched 5 scallop circles and using my 1 3/4″ punch nipped off 5 scallops so they would fit around the cup.  I added 5 stamped petals from the Sweet Centers stamp set under the scallops for feathers.  The eyes were 1/2″ black and 1/4″ white circles.  The beak was from the large star punch.  The waddle from the slot punch.  And the greeting from Teenie Tiny Wishes, Modern Label Punch and the coordinating Movers and Shapers die.  The pocket and tab for the back are descibed in an earlier tutorial.

Etsy Shop

September 28th, 2009 by craftdoc

I finally got around to setting up an Etsy Shop to sell some of my extra cards that I make for classes and for demonstrator samples (and for fun).  Here is the link:  www.craftdoc.etsy.com

And here is another project that was inspired by our Stampin’ Success magazine.  I used a dollar store letter holder and pencil holder and covered with our new Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper.  Glue dots and sticky strip did not work  - finally I tried the pop up glue dots and mushed them into the mesh - success!  The card box also has a paper lining - it is our Forget Me Not keeper - very sturdy - you will want several of these for card/photo storage.
