Tuesday’s Two Minute Techniques Series!!

Are you a veteran rubber stamper who:

  • likes to be reminded of techniques you learned but now seldom use now?
  • remembers a technique by name but can’t remember how to do it?
  • likes to see projects of techniques you’ve learned using current products?
  • ready to get those stamps out of the closet and get stamping again?

OR

Are you new to rubber stamping and would like;

  • to learn stamping basics ?
  • to learn techniques ?
  • to learn ideas on using products ?

on your own time, at your own pace, when and where you want?

WELCOME to my Tuesday’s Two Minute Techniques Series.

I will be sharing a quick technique covering all of the above each Tuesday. My intent was to keep them to 2 minutes or less but some videos will be a bit longer. They are shared every Tuesday but you can access them anytime at the “Techniques” link above. The techniques will appear only after they have been shared in a post.

Be sure to subscribe (in the left hand column) so you don’t miss out on any techniques or projects!

This witch rock & rolled!

by

Creating this card was fun, I loved how the rock & roll technique turned out. I stamped the witch image from the Toxic Treats Stamp Set # 127898 (w) # 127901 (c) in Wisteria Wonder Ink first then rock & rolled it in the Basic Black Ink then stamped the image onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I used the Labels Collection Framelits # 125598 to cut the image out. I cut out a few banners and the mat from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper # 126906. The Tangerine Tango mat bhind the witch image was run through the Big Shot using the new Argyle Folder # 127750. The card base is Wisterria Wonder. I got my color combo from the howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, however you will notice that Wisteria WOnder is not listed as a color found in the DSP. I love adding purple to my Halloween paper crafts & cards and felt that the Wisteria Wonder was a good coordinating purple because of it's gray undertones. Many that see this card think the Basic Gray in the DSP is Wisteria Wonder! …But I tell them that if they look closely they will see that it is actually gray. Funny how our eyes can fool us!

This card actually opens from the bottom, with the fold at the top. If you'd like to add some bling to this card you could use our 2-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. I think I would go overr the bats in the upper left hand corner, I feel this doesn't need alot of bling but that would be just the right touch if you wanted some. 

I just love all the patterns in the Howlstooth & Scringbone DSP pack, you could change up the look of this card just by using the other sides! I love the dimensional look of the rock & roll technique on this card.

August Hostess Card Club

by

My August Hostess Card Club  were thrilled to learn a few new techniques as they made their projects. I told all of them that I was challenging myself to not use Whisper White or Very Vanilla as my neutrals in this months’ projects. Instead, I used Sahara Sand on one of the cards and River Rock on the other. They weren’t too sure what to expect but after they saw the samples they loved them!! Whew!!!!

In the spirit of this years Convention Theme, “My Way”, I took two swaps that I received at convention this year and changed them up “My Way.” The card I am sharing with you today was originally created by Cheryl Braney, a demonstrator from Palm Desert, California.

Cheryl used the following colors in her card: Whisper White, Raspberry Ripple, Baroque Burgundy, and Primrose. She also used the Ribbon Punch.

In my card I used ( I will * the items I changed):

STAMPS:

INKS: Raspberry Ripple

PAPER: *River Rock, Raspberry Ripple, Baroque Burgundy, Primrose.

MISC.: Butterfly Punch # , Basic Pearl Jewels, *Finishing Touches Edgelits # 127010 , Big Shot, Perfect Dots & Delicate Designs (# 127023) Emossing Folders.

Leave a comment to which one you like best!

In creating their second card they learned how to create 3-D flowers that are mailable, and the tile technique. I used the color combination of Sahara Sand, Basic Gray & Pool Party which may sound a little odd but the colors went together beautifully.

I would loke to invite you to join us on the first Monday of each month to laugh, and learn fun new stamping ideas each month. If you aren’t in the Naperville area you can learn “exclusive” projects each month join my “online club.”

On The Grow, Layered Marker Technique

by

I will be honest with you, I am not one that uses markers to color, I love water coloring! BUT, if you do the Layered Marker Technique correctly, you can get spectacular results. The key is to use different depths of a color (IE: light blue, medium blue, deep blue) to create depth. I always highlight the image with our Signo White Gel pen. For this card I used Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Pacific Point for the flowers and Sahara Sand, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green for the leaves. The glass jar is water colored (had to sneek it in!) using the Baja Breeze. This card is just 1 of 3 that my Hostess Clubs will be creating in August.
