No Waste Technique - Club Demonstration

I love sharing cool techniques with my club members and if it means saving on anything, that's even better

Stesha who I believe is from Germany shared this great idea

Here's the cards I shared in class

You plan ahead and make TWO cards using the die cut and the negative of the die

The card on the left uses the die cut 

The one on the right uses the "negative" of the die cut

I did use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the Shaded Spruce - really gives it dimension!!

Two totally different looking cards!!

By placing your cut in the center of the card stock, you make another piece for the 2nd card

Check back over the next few days and I'll share the other samples I made using this technique

Casing a Card - Christmas Gleaming

A good friend and fellow demonstrator from Canada made this card and shared it on her blog

I just fell in LOVE with it 

Thanks Dayanna for the inspiration!!

This is a "fun fold" card and I LOVE how she did it

Measurements

Mossy Meadow Card Base 6 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 5 1/2"

Front Panel:  Copper Foil Sheets 5 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper 5" x 2"

Inside:  Very Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4"

Copper Foil Sheets 5 1/4" x 1 3/4"

"Fun Fold" piece 6" x 4" (scored at 3")

Very Vanilla 3 3/4" X 2 3/4"

I added the fun fold part under the Very Vanilla inside sheet before attaching to the inside of the card

I used the Copper Foil Sheets for the ornaments - ran a piece of Copper Foil Sheet through the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and then cut out the ornaments

The inside sentiment is stamped with the Copper Delicata Ink

Beautiful!!

So Many Stars Bundle

I didn't purchase the So Many Stars Bundle in the 2019 Holiday Catalog at first

Then my friend, Linda, made a card and I just HAD to have it.

Finally getting around to using it and came up with this card

I hope you like it

You can't really see the dimension on the front, but I cut out the star with the 3rd from largest star die and then stamped the star with VersaMark ink and heat

embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and then cut it out with the coordinating star die.

  I then used Stampin' Dimensionals and raised up the designer series paper!

In real life, it's really neat!!

Technique: Baby Wipes

It's been years since I've done the baby wipe technique

Melody Hyde shared this technique recently and I'm in love again!!  {BIG GRIN}

What fun this was and I shared it with my club members recently

Here's the card Melody made (and I cased)]

Isn't that stunning?

First I'll share the measurements and then I'll share a little picture tutorial

It's very easy and so fun to do!!

Measurements

Soft Suede Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Very Vanilla 5 1/4" x 4

I used aluminum foil to save on the mess

Add a baby wipe to the aluminum foil

I used 4 re-inkers

Daffodil Delight

Pumpkin Pie

Cajun Craze

Old Olive

I started with the lightest - Daffodil Delight

I then added the other three colors filling in randomly

Spritz it with a little water and then add your dies

I used the die from All-Around Wreath Dies

Lay the dies on the baby wipe and fold over the aluminum foil and rub, rub, rub

And your wreaths are colored!!

Aren't they stunning?  I added three wreaths to make it very full and then added some Noble Peacock and Holiday Rhinestones!

What a fun technique - we are going to have to do it using something else!  Stay tuned!

Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!
