Technique cards

Yesterday I went and made some technique cards at a friends home. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon, and so needed...It has been a crazy two weeks at my house...In fact I made a card last week and actually thought I posted it to my blog but I didn't only to my SCS gallery.

The first card is an Easter Tent Card done with paper pieceing. the bird image was stamped three times two on decorative paper then cut out andonce on Whisper White Cardstock. then the Egg shells were cut out nad mounted over the egg shell and then to the side two show the two halves. I love the decorative paper "Spring Fling" from Stampin Up that we used. I need to get some it seems I think it is much more beautiful IRL then it is in the catty or in these pictures it is beautiful paper. This Set " A Good Egg" is so cute. All items on this card come from the SU catalog. I am only sorry I didnt buy this set so I can make more cards, really quick before Easter...

The second card is one I made for SC167...I dont know if I really care for the LO...though other people have sure made a ton of cute cards from it.I used a couple of my new Cuttlebug folders. Floral Fantasy and Birds and Swirls. I am loving my new folders...I cut the scallop and circle on my Cricut using Mini Monograms and 2 1/2 " setting. I stamped the background with Certainly celery Pretty In Pink, and Only Orange using various stamps from "Polka Dots and Petals"

The Organza ribbon I picked up at Walmart and Roberts a While back.

the last card was made with my Demo. I lov ethe look of it. "Live Your Dreams" was used to to stamp on the Very Vanilla CS. we used the sentiment first in Chocolate Chip, then the flowers in Versamark then Heat embossed with clear embossing powder. We used the In Color "Groovy Guava", to brayer over images. It looks a little streaky when you brayer but when dried the color blends pretty well together. The new Silver Hodge Podge Hardware was used for the silver embellishment, my demo had painted groovy guava reinker in the flower ridges and then used crystal effects to seal it in the groves. Nice to know you can make the hardware blend with any color ink in sucha fun way. This piece was threaded onto the Grosgrain ribbon while we waited for the ink to dry. The next step was to sponge Chocolate Chip on the flower blossoms. the image was mounted on Vary Vanilla cardstock and then the ribbon with embellishment attached then mounted on a Choc Chip base.

These were fun cards to make and I hope you enjoy them. I imagine the two cards my demo showed me might be cased but I dont know where, ...if they are cased let me know so I can give proper credit.

Until later... Happy Stamping!
