String Art Technique; fun, easy & the results are a big WOW!


I shared the String Art technique on last week's Live video.  It's been years since I tried it and it brought back how much fun it is!

That cool swirly, colorful image is made with a length of twine, ink refills and a phone book.  Yes; a phone book!  Any book will do but I a phone book is okay to get inky.  

And another neat thing about this technique is you get two finished panels from one technique!  

You might notice the card on the right has thicker lines.  I believe that piece was on the bottom and had more moisture on it.  

I used Bermuda Bay and Parakeet Party ink refills for this technique, along with about 14" of baker's twine. After the piece was created I let it dry and textured it with an embossing folder.  

*Bermuda Bay card stock, ink pad and refill are already sold out.  Products can go so fast on the Last Chance list! 

Other products used: 2022-24 In Color dots seen here (Just $4; reduced by 50%!), the Quatrefoil embossing folder, Butterfly Kisses 6 X 6" DSP, 2022-24 In Color Baker's Twine pack. 

You really need to watch this technique in action.  It's so much easier than to try to explain it.  

Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this special technique. It's the third project in the video.

  • Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!


    This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not! 


    Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

    The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog.  It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors.  Love this paper!  


    If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.  

    I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake.  Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer.  So cool! 

    And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed. 

     

     

    I have enjoyed playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle this month.  You cannot go wrong with balloons; they're great for birthday's, graduations, weddings or any celebratory event.

  • Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!


    This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

    I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down. 

    You can see this bundle here online.  

    I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

    Here's what the card looks when it's flat: 

    I am so glad that we have Berry Burst back! 

    Measurements:

    • Berry Burst 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”, 2nd piece 4 ¼” square
    • Misty Moonlight 3 ¼” square & 1” X 4”
    • DSP 3” and ¾” X 3 ¾”
    • white 4” square

    You can see the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper  here.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in June's card kit to go.

  • Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper


    I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

    I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

    It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

    Measurements:

    • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
    • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

    I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.
