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.

  • Great silhouette cards with Simply Marbelous DSP with Honeybee Home bundle


    I saw a group of cards made by France Labrecque and I just had to make some.  Look!

    I changed them up a bit but kept the same premise of a die-cut circle with these gorgeous Honeybee Blooms dies in silhouette.  I added a bit of color on the White layer before texturing them.  The card above features the Gingham embossing folder.

    Here are the 6 cards I made; one with each color of Designer Paper in the Simply Marbelous DSP pack.  This beautiful paper is FREE through February, 2022 with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  See it here. 

    I cannot decide which color is my favorite but I lean towards the yellow or blue. 

    The embossing folder on the card above is called Macrame; it's in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or seen here. 

    For each card I used one of the greetings in the Honeybee Home stamp set which is part of the Honeybee Home bundle seen here.  The greeting dies are from the Ornate Frames dies in the Annual catalog seen here.  

    This incredible Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP is still available; if you want it I'd get it now while they still have a supply.  It's always possible it could run out before the end of February. 

    One neat thing about this pretty designer paper is each sheet has a softer, less distinct pattern and this beautiful swirly pattern. And each color is a combination of light & dark hues so it works with many, many shades of each color!  

    Which is your favorite?  

    Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. These cards are the 3rd project I share.

    I'm featuring this fun Black & White designer paper in one of my February kits to go.  Get it by February 15th. Click here for details. 

    Here's a video for you:

    In the photo below I colored one of the sheets of the All Together DSP with the 3 lightest set of the new Blends plus the Ivory too.  I think these are also great for coloring animals or when you need a neutral color tone.

    • the 12 X 12" magnet board & frame

  • My Sale-a-Bration & New Catalog open house displays


    I don't think I shared my displays & boards from my January New Catalog Open House yet!  

    Some are my own cards but many of these projects are swaps I received.  

    First is my 2022 Sale-a-Bration display table. 

    This first board features half of the Sale-a-Bration offerings including the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP, the Driving By stamp set, Catching Butterflies stamp set, Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP and the Island Vibes stamp set.  

    See all of our 2022 Sale-a-Bration products here.  Remember you can get these items FREE with each $50-100 you order from Stampin' Up! in February. 

    This next board and display features the Friendly Hello bundle, Daffodil Afternoon 12 X 12" DSP, the Calming Camellia host stamp set and more Sunshine & Rainbows & Driving by samples.  

    Next is a wall of displays of the 2022 January-June catalog; especially the designer papers & the Heart & Home bundle. So many beautiful cards & samples! 

     

    And here is a close-up of the Sweet Talk 12 X 12" DSP along with a few cards too. 

    And lastly is a group of projects featuring the In The Moment, Wildlife Wonder & Flowing Flowers stamp sets, the Daffodil Daydream and Cactus Cuties bundles and many of our newest punches too. 

    I hope you enjoyed seeing my displays.  I change up which are up in my studio every few months. My customers enjoy looking at these project ideas when they're here.
