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.

  • Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements


    Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

    I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

    I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

    I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

    Measurements: 

    • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
    • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
    • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
    • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”

  • Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!


    I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

    Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

    I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

    For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

    However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

    The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

    I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
    • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
    • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square

  • Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set


    I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

    I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

    In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

    I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

    The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!
