On the third week of every month, I get together with my demo and make some technique cards. This time she showed me some techniques she learned from her upline so I thought I would share them.
The first card had an interesting circle spiral technique that
was very fun and cute. She didnt have the newer larger Circle punch so we used the 1 3/8" punch you cut the circle in a spiral. Inspired By Nature was used for the "Grass" and
Flight of the Butterfly, for all the other images. Whisper White, Pacific Point Pumpkin Pie and Kiwi Kiss were used for Cardstock Colors. The spiral was adhered to the card by adhering a glue dot behind the butterfly and then a dot on the oposite of the circle center and placing in the card so it stretches out when opened...I hope you can figure it out from the pictures very fun technique. I can see a larger circle would let you make a better placement.
You should try it. you cant see it but a second butter fly is attached to the spiral.
The second card we made uses Upsy Daisy...and sponge daubers. First you stamp the entire image in a light color we used Pink Pirouette. then you dauber the image..with two colors we used Ridinghood Red and Tangerine Tango. I got my stamp to far to the left and then restamped, so my suggestion make sure you have the stamp right where you want it... LOL
I like this technique and will definately use it again. the other new thing I got to try was the New Oval Punch. The large oval was then folded it over the matted picture and then Punched with a Crop A Dile through all 4 pieces of card stock like butter...so nice. I need to get them some day. The cardstock is Ridinghood Red and Pink Pirouette, and Whisper White. I really like the look of this technique I'll need to try it again.
my suggestion go try some new techniques you'll love them.Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
Great cards! I love the the butterfly in the Top Note Bigz Die. Wonderful. TFS
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun card class!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these cards. I love the dauber technique used on the upsy daisy card. It is a great one for that set and the inspired by nature set. I may have to try the spirals some time. They look like fun.
