Tuesday with Wendy, May 8th

5/11/2018

This week at the store it has been CRAZY BUSY as we prepare for our sale this weekend!! We have been unloading BOXES of new products all week long!!

Wendy decided to use a variety of new products in her class this week.. and the cards are JUST WONDERFUL!!!

A couple of the cards this week were made with this new stamp set from an all new company, Dare 2 B Artsy. This stamp set is called Hoot, Hoot

These little owl stamps are WONDERFUL!!! We love the little detail and how they kind of look like Zentangle designs.. so cute.

To make this card:

Stamp the 3 owls out on a piece of white card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and emboss with Detail Clear embossing powder
The card base is folded in half, then the front of the card is folded back so you end up with a card with 3 panels. Put a piece of floral patterned paper on the third panel
Use Faber Castell markers to color the owls in similar or matching colors to the patterned paper
Mount the Owls onto the card base using pop dots or double-sided tape
Stamp some of the sentiments from the Hoot, Hoot stamp set to finish the card!

We just love this card!! This is such a fun and cheerful card idea... love this adorable little owls!!

This next card was made using ALL NEW PAPER from Dare 2 B Artsy as well as an older die-cut from Memory Box

Sadly, the die-cut Wendy used (Moonlight Butterfly) is discontinued!! BUT, any bold butterfly image will work just fine for this technique

To make this card:

Mount the piece of patterned paper on a piece of dark grey card stock, then a piece of Stardream Lagoon paper
Use the backside of the patterned paper to add a strip of paper to the left side of the card
Die-cut 3 butterflies out of the yellow-green card stock
Use a Black LePen marker to create some fun designs on the butterflies and color them in with Tombow Markers making sure to use colors that correspond nicely with the background paper
Glue the butterflies down using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive making sure to glue just the center of the butterflies to the card so you can lift their wings up
Watch as the dimension of the butterflies brings the card to life!!

This card is just FANTASTIC!! The colors and geometric florals really set it off!!

This last card was SO CUTE and was probably one of the most fun designs from class this week!!

Wendy used the Hoot, Hoot stamp set and the new Wacky Boxes stencil both from Dare 2 B Artsy

To make this card:

Stamp out 2 owls and sentiments on a piece of copy paper, fussy cut them out, and place a Removable Glue Dot on the back of each item
NOW stamp out your Owls and sentiments on a square piece of white card stock.
Place the "mask" on top of each image that you stamped so they are covered completely
Lay down the Wacky Boxes stencil and use the Nuvo Blending Sponges and 3 Distress Inks (Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint, and Faded Jeans) to create a fun array of colors
Finish off the card by using the Black Glaze pen over the images and adding some final details with swirls and borders. Glue on the Googly Eyes using The Ultimate Glue
Mount the card stock on a black card base and watch in awe as the vibrant card comes together.
