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!

String Art Save

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.

  • This cool ‘Fun Fold’ makes the most of your card stock & designer paper!!

    This easy fun fold is so smart!  It truly makes the most of both your card stock and your designer paper.

    How?  Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2".  Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark.  This piece is then flipped and is the front panel.  So smart!

    The greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essentials dies seen here. I love the shapes!

    The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout.  This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have!  You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.

    The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one.  And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP. 

    Kindest Expressions all Save

    I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.   

    I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting.  The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here.

  • Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

    We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club.  It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.  

    April Brewed for you Save

    I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry.  This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!  

    Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center.  Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other. 

    April Brewed for You Club Save

    It's fun to play with too.  We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base.  Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

  • Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

    Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects.  They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.  

    Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party.  I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

    She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

    The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

    This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs.  It fits in there so perfectly! 

    I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

    And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

    Sweet Citrus coconuts Save

    She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

    She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

    It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.
