This week's card is a DSP strip card and in this episode I share my DSP storage strategy as well as tips for making cards using narrow strips of DSP.
Today we...
This week's episode is a blast from the past. I did not want to skip this die set because it has so much to offer in an over the top shaker card. For how complicated this looks when finished, it is actually very easy to make. All of my cards in the showcase use Brightly Gleaming and First Frost DSP. These were the cards I made last year for family and some cardpals so I will not be using them...
This is another great Christmas kit. I like how they made the card bases slightly larger than A2 size so you get more material out of them. Same with the envelopes. I also love the sturdy foil words which I discover a great alternative use for them, be sure to watch the video to see this fun idea. The video is a long one and the showcase is HUGE. Video Length 41 min 27 sec.
The projects in this episode were two different styles. I started with the easy one, a Christmas card. The winter card was a challenge. In my mind winter is not a gold foil holiday. In the end I really like the gold and I even discovered a second way to use the foil that works great. Alas I spent so much time fussing that I did not get to finish them 100% (I do post pics of what I have so far...
World Cardmaking day was a busy day for me. I went through my "almost finished" pile and completely prepped and packaged about 60 cards that were in various stages of completion.
I have set aside about half a dozen cards that were still in the very beginning stages of creation to work on later.
Next I put the non-WICW cards away and while doing that I found a left over...
This week I am determined to go live on the correct day! I have two lovely cards to share with you. They are both very easy to make but use totally different techniques. I hope you enjoy them! Video length 7 min 11 sec.
We are moved and I had a great time finishing up this month's Paper Pumpkin kit. It is loaded with die cuts, all different colors. Watch the video for more focal assembly tips as well as my more elaborate focals. I finish it off with a big showcase and some embellishments to consider using with this kit.
So last week I went live early and this week, which was a moving week for us, I used the wrong wednesday - next week.
This is a fun technique. Watch my walkthrough of this card, it was fun and easy, even a bit messy!
Wow... I mean really, Wow! Watch the video to see my reaction when I open this kit. I want to spend some quality time with all of these bits, so I published the prep with some prep tips, four basic and four focals to get the ball rolling. I will break out the kit once we get moved and will spend some quality time making backgrounds and focals of all types and will get it posted by Friday!...
This was a Winter Is Coming candidate, but it hid itself in my stash and I just now found it again. I love how easy Stampin' Up!'s scenery making sets are to use. The stamp set with the bridge is called "My Meadow". "Waterfront" and Snowfront" offer even more scenery making options. I teach a beginner cardmaking class that uses "Waterfront" which can make a wide variety of cards. I will link...
