Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

Tips:

• You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
• The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
• Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.  

Save

My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.

  Crafters are always ready for new products, right?  Even if you think you there will always be more that you 'need'!  It's not hoarding or collecting if you actually use it, right?

  Hopefully you have your new catalog now.  If you do not have a local demonstrator let me know if you'd like one; they cost just $5 for shipping to you.  You can see all of the new products here online. 

  Here's a card I made using all 5 of the beautiful new 2020-22 In Colors:

  The card base is Misty Moonlight and the three 1 1/4" strips are Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Cinnamon Cider.  I added the greeting die-cuts in White and Bumble Bee. These pretty die-cuts are from the Tasteful Labels dies on page 179; they're awesome and one of my favorites I've used a ton. 

  For my long distance customers I'm holding a Virtual New Catalog Party Wednesday evening from 6-9 here on Facebook.  I'm so excited about this; it's the first time I've held one!

• Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!

  June 1, 2020

  ---

  For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards.  There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper.  Look!

  Save

  On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink.  The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets.  The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here. 

  Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set.  I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set.  I cannot wait to share it with you!  

  Save

  I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once.  It's close!

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
  • short pieces are 1" X 3"
  • stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
  • Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8" 

  This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay.  I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

  Save

  The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.  

  Save

  Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron. 

  Save

  Each week I share the measurements for our Monday stamp sessions a day or two early. Everyone preps their card supplies and create right along with me on my Facebook Page.  They're loving my quick & simple cards; we make 3 each week on Monday nights at 7:30 pm CT. You can see the cards we're making tonight!  Join us here!
