Check out these FUN cards from card making class this week!! 

This is such a FANTASTIC set of cards!! 
Picture
The first card that Wendy created was inspired from this Nesting Rounded Rectangle die-cut set and this Jungle Bold Prints background stamp from Hero Art 
Picture
Picture
To make the card:
  • Start out by stamping onto a piece of white card stock. Ink the stamp with your Versamark ink pad. Use a Stamp Platform to stamp the image
  • Apply Detail Gold Embossing Powder across the entire image and heat set it. 
  • Then lay down your Rounded Nesting Rectangles on your die-cut machine (you don't need ALL the rectangles, you can use the photo below to see how to arrange the die-cuts on your die cut machine) 
  • Cut into your piece of card stock that has the image stamped on it. You will end up with 3 Rounded Rectangles that fit one-inside-the-other 
  • Now, take a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" dark purple card stock and cut it  in half  LENGTHWISE. Score the paper at 2 3/4" from the LEFT and 2 3/4" from the RIGHT. This will create a gate-fold card 
  • Close the "gates" of the card and line up the largest Rounded Rectangle on top of the entire card. Adhere it on the LEFT GATE ONLY using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive 
  • Now, get the 2nd largest Rounded Rectangle and line it up inside the larger Rounded Rectangle and adhere it on the RIGHT GATE ONLY 
  • Finally, lay down the center Rounded Rectangle and lay it inside the Medium Rounded Rectangle and adhere it to the LEFT GATE ONLY 
  • At this point, when you open and close the gate-fold the Nesting Rounded Rectangles should INTERLOCK 
  • When you open up the gate fold, this is where you will place a piece of white card stock. BEFORE YOU ADHERE IT down, wrap the piece of white card stock with a piece of Gold Mesh Ribbon and use double sided tape to hold the ribbon in place. Then use double-sided tape to adhere the ribbon-wrapped card stock to the inside of the card. 
  • To finish off the card, wrap the closed card with a piece of sheer purple ribbon
I LOVE the interactive element to this card!!! It is SO MUCH FUN!

The inside of the card is set-up perfectly for displaying a sentiment or for pasting-down a placard for writing a greeting 
Picture
The next card that Wendy created was inspired from this AMAZING Nautical Whale stamp from Creative Expressions/ Pink Ink Designs 
Picture
To make the card: 
  • ​Start out with stamping your Whale Image with Versafine Clair, Nocturne Ink onto a piece of Light Grey card stock. Stamp at the TOP of the grey card stock so there is plenty of space below the whale. 
  • Cut a small piece of Black Wave handmade paper to fit on the front of the card. Use a pair of scissors to fussy-cut the waves so you can see the wave-shape 
  • Line up the wave paper with the bottom of the card base so you can see where the whale image is covered up.  Use an X-acto Knife to cut the bottom part of the whale (where the wave covers up the whale) like the belly of the whale,  his fins, and his tail. Tuck the Black Wave Paper underneath the edge of the whale. 
  • Wendy used a white card base, then layered a piece of black paper, and finally a piece of white paper to the front of the card base. Then, adhere the grey card stock with the whale onto the front of the card making sure to place a pop dot underneath each of the fins and the tail 
I LOVE the look of this card!!! It is so stunning!! The Black Wave handmade paper looks so fantastic with this whale image! 
Picture
The last card that Wendy designed was inspired by this Delightful Daisy die-cut from Poppy 
Picture
To make the card: 
  • Start out by cutting the Delightful Daisy die cut out of white felt-weave card stock 
  • Use your water brushes and a water color palette to paint the daisies 
  • Wendy used a white card stock as your card base. She layered a piece of yellow polka-dot paper on the card base. Then, layered a smaller piece of dark brown card stock next and then laid a piece of ANOTHER yellow decorative paper on top of the brown card stock. 
  • Then, take your painted daisy die-cut and adhere the stem down with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and then use pop-dots behind the flowers and leaves to add dimension 
  • Finally, use the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere an Oval Gem onto the center of each flower to make them more fun!! 
I love how bright and SUMMERY this card is!!!

Tuesday with Wendy, June 4th

6/7/2019

 
I love how fun the cards are from this last week of Tuesday with Wendy card making class!!! 
Picture
This first card was inspired by the Nesting Circles and Nesting Rounded Rectangles die-cuts from Hero Arts!! 
Picture
Picture
To make the card:
  • Start out with a piece of thick Vellum. WEAR GLOVES while you colorize your piece of Vellum with Alcohol inks. To do this, pick up a small piece of wool (for Alcohol Inks) and apply a little bit of Alcohol Blending Solution to the wool. THEN apply a couple drops of 2 colors of Alcohol Ink onto the wool (Wendy chose 2 colors from Ranger, Turquoise and Limeade). Smoosh the piece of wool onto the surface of the vellum until the vellum is covered in color!
  • Now use your home die-cut machine to cut a piece of black card stock with one of the larger Rounded Rectangle die cuts
  • Now, take the piece of black card stock that you just cut with the die-cut machine and cut out a series of circles. Wendy used the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies because you can get SO MANY SIZES of circles!! When you overlay the piece of card stock (that has the circles cut out of it) on top of the Alcohol Inked Vellum, you get the color peeking through. 
  • On each of the circles, press them into on of 2 Distress Oxide ink pads (the Distress Oxide inks show up on black paper). Wendy chose the Distress Oxide ink colors Twisted Citrone and Peacock Feathers 
  • Now, it's time to put the card together!! Start with a teal-colored card base. Next, adhere the BLACK CARD STOCK TO THE VELLUM (yes the piece of black card stock with the circles cut out of it). That way you can apply the adhesive onto the vellum in the areas that are covered up by the black card stock. Wendy used the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the Vellum to a piece of white card stock. Wendy used a pair of scissors to trim the piece of white card stock to be the same size as the vellum. Then Wendy used double-sided tape to adhere the layered pieces to the front of her card base. 
  • Finally, layer the circles on the front of the card arranging them in a fun way! Wendy used pop dots for dimension and added in gems for an extra *bling* element!! 
I love how fun and funky this card is!! Of course, the added Gems are always fun for adding focal points! 
Picture
The next card that Wendy created was inspired from this *Wonderful* stamp set from Altenew, Everlasting Happiness
Picture
To make the card:
  • Start out with a piece of black card stock. Using your Tim Holtz stamp platform, stamp the largest floral circle onto the front of the card base using Versafine Clair, Nocturne
  • Then, use Prismacolor Pencils to color the florals, leaves and sprigs 
  • Next, put your piece of black card stock back into the Tim Holtz stamp platform and stamp down the largest floral circle AGAIN and it should land in the same spot. Then use Detail Black embossing powder across the entire image. Heat set the image 
  • Then, stamp the the sentiment, Celebrate Life, onto a strip of white card stock. Using a fine line black pen (such as a Le Pen) and a ruler, add a thin line above and below the sentiment to add a focal point. 
  • Wrap the strip of white paper around the front of the black paper and use double-sided tape to adhere it to the back of the card stock. Mount this onto a piece of aqua-colored card stock and adhere it all to the front of a purple card stock base 
Just LOOK HOW STUNNING this card is!!! I love the pop of color!! 
Picture
The last card that Wendy created was ALSO inspired by the Altenew stamp set, Everlasting Happiness
Picture
To make the card: 
  • Start out with a half-sheet of yellow card stock. Score the paper at 2 1/8" from the left AND 2 1/8" from the right to create a gate-fold card. 
  • Use your home die-cut machine to cut out 2 ivory circle shapes. Also cut out a pink polka dot circle and a purple polka dot circle of the same size.  Stamp the small floral circle onto each of the ivory card stock circles. Inside the circles, stamp a sentiment. Wendy stamped "Love Grows Here" and "Dream" inside each of the circles with the same color of stamp ink, Versafine Clair ink, Medieval Blue
  • On the LEFT gate fold, AT THE TOP, adhere the purple polka dot circle and one of the floral circles, making sure to make them off-set 
  • On the RIGHT gate fold, AT THE BOTTOM, adhere the pink polka dot circle and the other floral circle, again making sure they are off-set. 
  • On another piece of  ivory card stock, stamp JUST THE FLOWERS part of one of the small floral circles. Wendy did this by using an acrylic block and lining up the flowers on the top, left, and right side. Then, Wendy pasted the card stock with the florals on the INSIDE of the gate fold.
  • To finish off the card, Wendy took a piece of decorative floral paper and scored it at the top so that it folds over the top to the back just slightly (about a 1/4" overlap). The piece will fold over the front. 
  • The last thing she did was fold the card closed and made a 12" strip with yellow card stock, about an inch wide, and adhered it with double-sided tape. Wendy tied a sheer coral-colored ribbon around the yellow strip and tied a knot on the front. 
I love how bright and summery this card is!! 

I love how fun it is to interact with all the flaps and openings!

Tuesday with Wendy, July 10th

7/9/2018

 
Class this week was a whole lot of fun!! Wendy has been enjoying the new stamps and die-cuts we've been getting in.. and you can really see why by looking at the cards this week!! 
Picture
The first card she designed is this using this BEAUTIFUL new image from Impression Obsession, Shore Heron. She combined it with the Stampscapes water image, Shimmering 
Picture
Picture
:To make the card

  • Apply ink to the Shore Heron image using the new Versafine Clair inks Morning Mist, Twilight, Rain Forest, and Warm Breeze
  • Stamp the image onto the Blue Silicone Craft Mat
  • Do a "mono-print" of the image by taking your card stock and pressing it down onto the Blue Silicone Craft Mat, this will pull the image up onto your paper but in REVERSE of the original image. 
  • Stamp the Shimmering stamp across the image-- this makes it look like it is in water-- and finish it off by applying Detail Clear Embossing Powder and heat-setting it. 
  • Use your watercolors to color the water, making sure to go in a swiping-motion with the paints so they match the direction of the water movement 
  • NOW apply ink to your stamp again, using the same colors as before, but this time you will be stamping directly onto the card stock, being aware to line up the images so it appears to be a reflection. 
  • Let the ink dry 
  • Take Nuvo Blending Sponges and create a modeled background for the sky using Versafine Clair inks Twilight and Warm Breeze
What a BEAUTIFUL card this turned out to be!!!! 
Picture
This next card was made using this stunning Japanese Chiyogami Paper and this new die-cut image from Timeless Flowers, Clematis Border 
Picture
Picture
To make the card: 
  • Using a half-sheet of paper, score your paper at 2" and 6" to create a Gate-Fold Card 
  • Die-cut the Clematis Border image out of text weight purple Stardream paper and layer it on the front of your card with black and gold papers. BE SURE to attach your ribbon underneath the flower image before you glue it down. We used the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to attach the image to one side of the Gate Fold. 
  • Use a piece of the Japanese Chiyogami paper on the other side of the Gate Fold. Notice how the colors are replicated in solid papers on the left and the design matches the Chiyogami on the right. 
  • Use the Nuvo Crystal Drops, Ivory Seashell to add a bit of color into each flower center
  • The gold ribbon is so beautiful and really ties the card together! (ha! no Pun intended!)
​
What a FANTASTIC card!!! So elegant... 
Picture
The last card was made using this die-cut, Scrolls Half Edger from ​Penny Black and these 2 new stamps from Impression Obsession, Unicorn Head and Powerful 
Picture
Picture
Picture
To make the card:
  • Start with a half sheet of Ice Gold Stardream Paper.  Score it at  the 4" mark
  • BE CAREFUL HERE-- Score it at the TOP AND BOTTOM ONLY at the 6 1/4" mark 
  • Stamp the Unicorn Head image in Versafine Onyx Black in between the 2 score marks you just made and use Crystal Embossing Powder and heat-set it. 
  • Use an X-acto Knife to cut around the Unicorn Head image on the LEFT SIDE ONLY 
  • Fold your card in half, then at the score line fold it back. This will make a nice tri-fold card
  • Stamp the Powerful sentiment in Versafine Clair ink, Monarch and use Crystal Embossing Powder again and heat-set
  • On the Left side of the card, layer the turquoise card stock and Purple Glitter Paper.. before you tape it down, tuck the Scrolls Half Edger die-cut in between the 2 pieces of paper and use the Deluxe Adhesive to hold it in place
  • Finish off the card by coloring with Gel Pens.. Wendy used Purple and Gold gel pens... as well as the Crystal Stickles  on the Unicorn mane and swirls of the die-cut
What an *AMAZING* card!!!
