Tuesday with Wendy, June 19th

6/24/2018

Check out the last Tuesday with Wendy cards from class last week!

Wendy designed some REALLY FUN CARDS for this group!!

For the first card, Wendy wanted to use this new die-cut from Paper Rose, Men Sitting on Fence

She combined this die-cut with some of the Stampscapes images. She used Cloud Strips, Country House, Tall Grass, and Pine Row

Wendy wanted to combine the Stampscapes images with this die-cut... and we don't disagree! The combination is fantastic!!

To make the card:

On the off-white card stock, stamp the Stampscapes images using Sepia Versafine Ink
Start on the top upper left corner and stamp your house
Next, add pine trees
Stamp the grass next, inking your stamp every-other-time so you get the tone-on-tone variations
Lastly, stamp the clouds
Cut out the Men Sitting on Fence using dark brown card stock and your home die-cut machine
Use mounting tape to tape down the die-cut underneath the grass and the fence part. Use pop-dots behind the heads of the 2 men so they look like they are sitting up on the fence

This next card was SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Wendy used a combination of stamps and stencils to create this card... Ostrich Trio from Impression Obsession, Big Brush Hello from Stampendous, and Polka Dots from Darkroom Door

To make this adorable card:

Start with a piece of Chipboard Kraft card stock as your card base
Stencil the background by using Tim Holtz Round Blending Tools and 2 colors of Distress Ink, Vintage Photo and Dried Marigold. Hold the Polka Dot stencil in place and softly apply the inks to create an interesting background
Next, stamp out the Ostrich Trio TWICE on to Astroparche, Natural card stock using the new Pinecone Clair Ink pad
Then, on ONE of the Ostrich Tio images, Wendy fussy-cut an Ostrich and the 2 other Ostrich mouths
Wendy used Pop-dots to pop-up the mouths and the front Ostrich (isn't he just SO CUTE?!) onto the OTHER stamped Ostrich Trio. Then she fussy-cut the image again, this time around all 3 of the Ostrich images
She used a Blush-colored Tombow marker to add a bit of color to the Ostrich mouths and eyes
Stamp the Big Brush Hello onto Blush-colored card stock (Wendy used a paper with a light dot pattern) using the Pinecone Versafine Clair Ink and then used double-sided tape to adhere it to the front of the card
The card is finished with a bit of polka-dot ribbon that is Blush and Brown toned.. which matches perfectly!!

Doesn't this card just make you smile?!!?! We think so!!

This next card was inspired by... The 4th of July Parade in Blaine!!!

Wendy thought it would be a fun idea to use this die-cut, Marching On, by Taylored Expressions

To make the card:

Die-cut the Marching On image with Navy card stock
Use 2 pieces of 4th of July themed paper to make the fireworks sky above and the parade float below
Use double-sided tape to attach the pieces to an off-white card base
Use Diamond Stickles and add a BUNCH OF SPARKLE to the fireworks in the sky!!
