Tuesday with Wendy, Oct 23rd

10/26/2018

 
We have been busy creating new things here at the store! Check out the newest cards Wendy designed for her last card making class!!! 
Picture
The first card that Wendy designed was made using this snowflake die-cut from Penny Black, Crystalline as well as this stamp set from Lawn Fawn, Winter Scripty Sentiments 
Picture
Picture
To make the card:
  • Start out with a white card stock card base. Select a piece of Handmade Paper 4" x 4" (Wendy used this iridescent blue/green paper that looks like ice!). Use double-sided tape to adhere the paper to the front of the card base. 
  • Next, cut a piece of navy card stock that measures 3" x 3" and adhere that to the front of the Handmade Paper 
  • Take 2 pieces of Stardream TEXT WEIGHT paper that both measure 3" x 3". Wendy used Stardream Ice Gold paper. Stack the 2 Stardream papers together and die-cut the Crystalline Snowflake out of the papers at the same time
  • Then, use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere ONE of the snowflakes completely to the front of the navy card stock
  • With the second snowflake, press the Versamark ink pad to the snowflake until it has clear ink all over the snowflake. Sprinkle on Star Dust Embossing Powder and heat-set it with a heat gun 
  • Use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the CENTER ONLY to the other snowflake and curl up the ends of the snowflake to add dimension
  • Then, take 6 strips of paper (1/4" x 8 1/2" for each strip) and curl each strip into a little circle.. this is called Quilling. When you have completed your curl, use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to hold the curl in place.
  • Then attach the coils to the center of the snowflake on your card and adhere the coils with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive
  • Finish off the card by stamping a sentiment from the Winter Scripty Sentiments along the bottom of the card using Versafine Clair ink, Twilight 
I LOVE how this card turned out!! Just look at this DETAIL!!!!

The next card was SO STUNNING and is absolutely perfect for a Thanksgiving card... It was made using these stamps:
Winter Still by Penny Black
Grateful Hearts by Impression Obsession 
Picture
Picture
To make the card: 
  • Wendy started out by taking a piece of ivory card stock and stamping out the Grateful Hearts sentiment using Versafine Clair ink, Chianti 
  • Then, Wendy inked up the Winter Still leaf image by tapping on the different colors of ink. Use Distress Ink starting with Rusty Hinge, then Aged Mahogany, then Peeled Paint.. making sure to tap and gently massage the ink into the stamp
  • Then, stamp out the Winter Still leaf image onto the ivory card stock, overlapping the leaf image with the sentiment just slightly. 
  • Then, layer the ivory card stock onto a card base.. Wendy chose this beautiful fall-tones color that matched with the Rusty Hinge ink color PERFECTLY 
I love how this card turned out! Such a quick technique with BEAUTIFUL results!!! 
Picture
Mary McClary (one of the gals from class) said she accidentally messed up on her card!! But, clever as she is.. she used some of the quilling papers to make it BETTER!!! 

​Well, I just LOVE that!! 
Picture
The last card of the series was inspired by this STUNNING image from Impression Obsession, Deployed 
Picture
To make the card: 
  • ​Stamp out the image in Versafine Clair ink, Medieval Blue onto white card stock 
  • Use a Blue Tombow Marker to color onto a craft mat and use a Waterbrush to pick up some of the color. Watercolor your image giving light and dark tones to create depth 
  • Use a pair of scissors to fussy-cut around the image.. cut around the head and around the feet so that it looks like the soldier is walking away 
  • Mount the image on a piece of red card stock and apply mounting tape on the back 
  • On your card base, use red-white-blue decorative card stock and put one pattern on the left and a corresponding pattern on the right
  • Adhere the soldier image onto the card front using the mounting tape so it has a little bit of dimension 
This card is GREAT for anyone who may be Serving our Country or a Veteran of War... it is just a FANTASTIC card

I love how this card has the idea of a 3D card without having to do a lot of extra fussy-cutting 
Picture
What a GREAT series of cards this week!!!

Paper Quilling

10/14/2018

 
Last week for Demo, Bekah was the demonstrator and she showed us all about Paper Quilling!! 
Picture
Paper Quilling has been around for YEARS.. and while the art form has certainly changed, the idea is still the same... taking strips of paper and manipulating them to create BEAUTIFUL, intricate designs! 

Quilling starts with strips of colored paper... 
Picture
We have a template here to show and explain the different designs. You can use the Quilling Tools to create the different shapes. 
Picture
Picture
Check out this idea... Bekah took the Great Pumpkin stamp and stamped it out using a light color of dye-based ink.. Then, she used the Quilling Tools and the different strips of paper and created fun designs to fill the space inside the pumpkin!! 
Picture
I love the idea of using the Black Quilling Paper to turn the pumpkin into a Jack-O-Lantern!! 
Picture
Picture
Here are some other fun ideas and designs you can create using just simple strips of paper!! 

Look at this candle! And check out the wonderful little flowers!! 
Picture
Picture
The best glue to use for Paper Quilling is either the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive or PVA (though we recommend transferring the PVA into a fine-line applicator) 
Picture
Bekah likes to use the Quilling Paper to create unusual designs... and she taught us all how to do that! 
  • First, draw a design on a piece of copy paper (or, you can print off a design from the computer)
  • Place the image on a piece of card stock
  • Use a pen to go over your image- this will make an indentation into the card stock
  • Use the indentation as a guide to lay down your Quilling Paper
Picture
Picture
YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE what Bekah is working on... 

She started out using the Black, Brown, White, and Ombre Yellow Quilling Papers and a large brown piece of card stock
Picture
She was inspired by an image of Aretha Franklin.. and so she found/traced a FANTASTIC image of her and is currently creating a STUNNING rendition of this image.. I can't wait to see when it is all done!! 
Just look at the DETAIL!!! 

The teeth!! The earrring!! The hair!!! WOW!!!!! 
If you don't feel like creating a design on a piece of paper, you can just have fun and create free-form designs!! 
Picture
Or, you can even curl a piece of paper and create a fun balloon string!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Want to see get inspired? Stop by to see us 7 days a week!! We would LOVE to show you the newest stuff!! 

See you soon!
