Fault Line technique with Layered Thoughts – video & free project sheet too

I shared this neat technique on last week’s Live video.  It’s called the ‘Fault Line’ technique. 

Save

The Fault Line technique is where you layer torn papers together.  Here I used the Full of Life designer paper with Bubble Bath and Berry Burst.  The greeting is stamped on another sheet of this designer paper and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I fussy cut it and popped it up between the fault lines.

As you can see in the photo above I did my greetings two says.  The top right is done by heat embossing the greeting with White embossing powder.  The lower left is with clear embossing powder. 

Here’s the free project sheet if you’d like to print if off or download it.  Download Layered Thoughts Fault Line card

Watch the video below to see how this is done.  It’s so easy!

• Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

  March 26, 2021

  Need a quick project for Easter?  Or May Day?  Or to make something fun with a child?  This is it!

  I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!  

  Start out with a square of paper.  I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set.  I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.  

  I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper.  Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides.  Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket.  Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

  For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper.  Unfortunately this paper is sold out now.  They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out!  I'm so sorry about that.

  The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats! 

  You can see the video here.  It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.

  On last week Tuesday's FB live I created a bunch of projects featuring the Circle Celebration stamp set in the Spring catalog.  You can see it here.

  The Triple Time Stamping technique is when you stamp on three pieces of card stock all at once.  I layered just the White pieces in place and adhere them together slightly. This holds them in place while stamping with the fun circle images.

  Then you adhere them to the larger Navy card stock pieces.  Watch the video below to catch my tips.  It's the first project of three in the video. 

  I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Best Year stamp set for the greeting with a few loops of Daffodil Ruched ribbon.

  The colors in the card above are Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate.  It is my Creative Card Color Combo last week.
