Techniques Class Tonight!

 

 

It has been awhile since I have taught my monthly techniques class -- you know how life sometimes gets in the way and things get busy!  Even the best intentions sometimes don't happen.

Tonight I am back on track and I am so excited to be teaching two fun techniques.  My stampers will be learning the Retiform Technique and the String Art Technique.  I know many of you have seen the beautiful cards on Facebook or Pinterest that have been made using string.  I will be posting instructions at a later date--keep watching!  In the meantime, be sure to visit my Stampin' Up! Website and Online Store.

Tutorial: Flower Jar Card

 

Today's tutorial uses the Jar of Love stamp set found in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and the masking technique.  The flower is actually stamped 3 times and then cut out and adhered to the jar to give a dimensional look.  While the flower comes from the You've Got This retired stamp set, there are many beautiful flower stamp sets in the new catalog that would work for this card.

Tutorial: Rose Sympathy Card

Today's featured card is a beautiful sympathy card.  Sadly it seems I am sending more of these cards lately than birthday cards.  Today I attended the funeral of my cousin's husband who died unexpectedly over the weekend.  Yesterday I found out that the husband of one of my customers had passed away after an illness.  It seems I need to keep sympathy cards on hand.

Here is one of the sympathy cards I sent out.  It does use the recently retired Rose Wonder stamp set and the retired Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.

No Bones About It Card

 

I wanted to share a really fun kid's card with you even though (sadly) the stamp set No Bones About It used to make this card recently retired.  But I know many of you may have this set in your craft rooms and I thought it was just too darling not to share!

 

 INSTRUCTIONS\

1. Score a piece of 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Very Vanilla card stock at 4 -1/4” and set aside. Card will be landscape.
2. Emboss a piece of 3-3/4” x 5” Mossy Meadow card stock with the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder. Layer it onto a piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Night of Navy card stock and adhere it to the front of the card.
3. Adhere a piece of 1-1/2” x 5-1/4” True Gentleman Designer Series Paper to the front of the card.
4. Cut out a large Very Vanilla oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and stamp the solid dinosaur from the No Bones About It stamp set in Sahara Sand ink. Stamp the coordinating skeleton dinosaur in Early Espresso ink over the solid image. Ink up the fern and stamp above and below the dinosaur in Mossy Meadow ink.
5. Layer the stamped oval piece over a larger Night of Navy oval which has been cut out with Layering Oval Framelits. Punch a hole in the side of the oval using a 1/8” Handheld Punch. Tie a piece of jute through the hole.
6. Adhere the layered oval to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
7. Stamp a sentiment inside card.
