Technique Card – Basic Borders Rainbow By Andrea Mair Estensen

 Welcome,

We just had the most amazing thunder and lightening storm with heavy rains that I can remember.  It started around 3pm yesterday afternoon and finished around 8am this morning.  So much rain, sadly several homes and businesses in the area were struck by the lightening, but now the air is a bit cooler.  

My blog post today was actually created by my side line-Andrea.  I love that we share ideas as we have completely different styles of card making.  

Thanks for stopping by

1.       Start by cutting the curves out of the strip colors listed.  Place the die at the bottom of the strip, run through machine, then move die to create the arc, and run it through again.

2.       Cut the clouds using the clouds die

3.       Start by placing the arcs in rainbow order, adhering to the Balmy Blue with either seal or glue dots.

4.       Place the cloud die cuts on the card to determine placement.  Starting back to front, adhere the back cloud layer over the rainbow with Stampin’ Seal. On the middle cloud layer, add some Balmy Blue ink to the top of the clouds with sponges or blending brushes.  Attach with dimensional.

5.       Stamp the sentiment with Balmy Blue ink, then place ond dimensional row across the top of the cloud and stack two dimensional across the bottom- this will make the bottom of the first layer of clouds align with the middle layer. 

6.       Add the raindrop epoxy essentials at the top of the card as desired.

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
