paper ornament instructions

I realized that I didnt post the instructions yet

1. Cut 8  2x2 inch squares of double sided paper
2. Fold all in half and then in half again-OPEN
3. Fold in half Diagonally -ONCE                                                                                 

4. Fold corners in                                                                                                            

5. Do this with all 8 squares of paper
6  To join them all together - glue together on the flat sides                                                               

7 Form a ring of all 8 folded pieces
8 To add  ribbon- punch a small hole through on a the flat parts and string ribbon through- add an embellishment in the middle such as a large brad or Large flat back pearl.

Another sample- this is using 2.5 x2.4 squares

9 x9 Accordian album and Class

This is the accordian album that I created for the class on Friday. I do still have a few spots left- so join us! This album is perfect for Moms and Grandmas and its special because YOU created it!

Each page is designed so that you can add your photos in after you have assembled.  This way you dont have to worry about your pictures now. Here is the completed album with pictures added in- below is each of the 8 pages without the  pictures

7 weeks until Christmas

Well its not long until we get our stocking full of coal- hopefully you get something better!  I missed last weeks entry so this week has 2 samples with instructions.

The first sample is an acetate card- Acetate is a fancy word for clear  plastic paper- AKA  overhead projector paper. I used the cheapest one I could find at  Staples.

1 Cut Acetate sheet in half- you can get 2 quarter fold cards from one piece of 8.5 x 11 Acetate.

2. Stamp doodle on front with white stazon

3. On white shimmery piece- stamp one with blue image

4. Layer with navy CS

5 .Attach to front using 2 glue dots

6. Attach Silver piece-BEHIND- on the back of the front of the card( if that makes sense) make sure to line it up with the blue

7. Close card and mount 2nd blue piece with glue dots on the very back of card- lineup with silver.   

8. Stamp sentiment with silver on second white piece. Attach on inside with glue dots- lining up with the blue piece from the back of the card.

9. Wrap a silver cord around spine of card

9 weeks to Go

Here is another great card - part of my special addition series. This is a really simple card that brings out the artist in you- or the child that likes to color with Crayons!

Step 1. Stamp image with Basic Black ink. you need to use a water proof ink that will not run as you will be adding a wet element to this image.

Step 2. Color image in using Stampin'  Up's  Water Color Wonder Crayons. Color just like you would with regular crayons( yes you should stay in the lines)  You can fill in image dark or lightly depending on how intense you would like the color to be.

Step 3. Use the blender pen to blend the crayon together. The crayons are water color paint so as you blend each color it will look like you painted the picture  in. Work on one color at a time and clean pen each time by wiping off on scrap paper.

Step 4. Layer  with the designer Dashing Paper, Old Olive Card Stock and Red Ribbon. Make the main image stand out by using the dimentionals.

Thats it- very simple- but I love the Card!

10 weeks to Go

   10 weeks to go until Christmas- 10 weeks doesn't seem like enough time for me!   Here is a card that was a hit at my World Card Making Day even last Saturday. Below is the instructions to make the card and a special if you would like to purchase all the items to make these Christmas
Cards.

1. Stamp Snowflake outline  with Blue Bayou ink.

2. Stamp inside image with Soft Sky ink. With larger Stamps it sometime helps to stamp backwards- Lay the stamp down and place paper on top of the stamp. Rub lightly and try not to move paper. ( or use a brayer on top)

3. Rub 2 way glue pen on where you would glitter. I love glitter so I covered the whole snowflake.

4. Pour Glitter over top of whole card- make sure you have something to collect excess glitter.

 

5 Stamp Winter Wishes on top , layer white with Blue Bayou Paper and Soft Sky Paper.  It is a very easy card and its so pretty.Best of all it has GLITTER!

Recipe:
Supersize Snowflake (Double mounted with both snowflakes)
Blue Bayou Ink  and Card Stock
Soft Sky ink and Card Stock
2 Way Glue Pen
Glitter

Special- Purchase a kit that contains the stamp set, inks, glue and glitter and I will give you all the precut card stock you need to complete 10 cards, including envelopes.

Kit Price  62.45 plus shipping and GST
Card Set  for 10 cards- FREE

Feature of the Month- Tapestry

My goal is to feature a style or stamp set every month. For the month of October I want to show you all the beautiful things you can create with the tapestry style sets and designer papers. I simply love the Baroque Motifs set and the Baroque double sided paper. I added the Theatre Ribbon originals and the Tagged Accents and Elements tin. I felt so creative. The best part- beause everything matches I could create so many things without having to worry about matching or coordinating. See for your self!

Many of these things were created at a reatreat I went to. It was so much easier to take just a few items along and create with the limited supplies I had. Much easier than taking everything and not knowing where to start. Thanks to Darlene for all the ideas and hosting the fantastic weekend!
