Artfully Aware

Here is another card I made using the shaving cream technique.  For this card, I used four different stamp sets.  Artfully Aware for the girls image, Beauty Abounds for the butterfly images, Part of My Story for the words, and the January Paper Pumpkin Kit, Be My Valentine. 

For this card, I used Melon Mambo for the card base and Highland Heather for the layer. This is a card I’ll be sending off to my granddaughter. 

If you haven’t seen these stamp sets, stop in to see me at the Branson Mill Craft Village. I’d be happy to share with you!

Happy Crafting,

Artfully Aware

Today’s share is a card I made to use up some of the cards we made playing with the Shaving Cream technique. 

I used Artfully Aware and Beauty Abounds for this card.  I mounted a piece of Mossy Meadow on the Flirty Flamingo card base. 

Come back tomorrow for some more cards I made to use up the shaving cream pieces.

Three Card Class

I have a request for a three-card class on Sunday, February 3rd, from 2-4 pm.  This class will be held at the Branson Mill Craft Village!  Please let me know if you plan on attending.  We will be selecting cards from kits I already have made up but will be using new stamps!

Here are a few of the kits that I have available to select from:

I also have quite a few of the Peek-A-Boo Technique kits left, but I would prefer to hold this class separate from our three card class on the 3rd.

Seriously Amazing

Two weeks ago for card class, we used the Seriously Amazing Paper Pumpkin kit.  I had leftovers, so when Julie came to play, she helped me assemble the rest of the cards.  Since we had more stamp options and cardstock options, we came up with different ideas.  

Watch the video and see what you think!

Oh, and the oopsie in the video?  

I simply cut the dimensionals and cleaned up any dimensional residue off the backside and reapplied!

And lastly, here are the two Paper Pumpkin stamp sets we used:

Class Tonight!

Don't forget we have class tonight at the Branson Senior Center from 6-8 PM.  We'll be doing two different shaving cream techniques - so it will be a little messy!  Hope to see you there!

Here are the two cards we'll be making:  

Top card is using the frosted block technique

Bottom card, we'll be using the paper plate swirl technique.

Birthday Cards

Do you ever wonder what I do with all the class supplies?  Well, today's share is one of our classes that I held and decided it was time to put these together!

If you look closely, you will see that I used different embossing folders as well as stamped my Happy Birthday in black and highlighted with Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay markers.

When you come play with me at the Branson Mill Craft Village, we have lots more choices available to us!  Be sure to take some time to play each day!

Mobiles, Anyone?

I've been asked by one of my customers if I ever made a heart mobile.  Well here is one that I've started, but need a helper to finish it.  Hopefully by the time this posts, I'll have an updated video for you!

This is made with an older Paper Pumpkin kit, retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers and my Hearts framelits.  It was fun planning out and putting together.  Now to put the finishing touches on it.

UPDATE:  Here's a photo I tried to take as well.

Enjoy the video!

Best Catch

Julie's coming for another play date, so I'd better get this one posted!  This is the second card we made from her visit last Thursday.  

She loves Fly Fishing and this new set, Best Catch, was perfect for her.  We played with colors and sponging to create this card.  We also used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits for our frame.  

If you would like to learn how to do this technique, come in and play with me!  I'm located inside the Branson Mill Craft Village and am there most days.  I do ask that you set up a crafting time so I have all the supplies cut and ready for us to play!

Happy Crafting,

A Little Play Time

Julie stopped in last Thursday and we were able to play a little with our new Occasions and Sale A Bration goodies!

Julie selected the Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil papers from Sale A bration and we made this gorgeous card using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlet Dies.  

I struggled with whether to put words on this or let the beauty speak for itself.  What do you think?

Happy Crafting!

Clip On Post It Notes

While I was cleaning up my totes, I discovered some unfinished projects.  Today's share are some clip on Post It Notes.

I used my 4 X 4 coaster board and covered this with some retired Designer Series Papers (DSP).  I used Tombow Liquid Glue as this allows me to shift the paper to get it aligned.  

I then took some retired Stampin' Up! washi tape and covered the binder clips I had on hand.  Add a little ribbon and you're done! Then I simply click the Post It notes on the coaster board.  Super easy and such a nice gift for any occasion!

This is also a great way to use up some of the smaller pieces of your DSP!

Happy Crafting!
