Day 3: Rainbow Die Cuts
Today we worked on Rainbow Die cuts. Nichole Spohr showed us specifically how to cut strips of paper to use as a rainbow on your card.I started out with this on my desk: OH boy, here we go…this is a bit of work to get all lined up on a base in order to die […]
Day 2: Rainbow Stamping
Today in Rainbow Maker Class we explored rainbow stamping. I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire to make this card: Do you arrange your clothes by color in your closet? I definitely do, and I think that yellow dress needs to be in my size! Which color do you want? Smile, It will look good on you! […]
Rainbow Maker: Hugs Sequin Card
I was inspired by Laura Bassen (and Jennifer McGuire) to make this card: It may not look like it, but there are over 200 sequins (4 mm) on this card, each placed one-by-one! This was definitely a labor of love. I think it was worth it, don’t you? Loving this class so far. May your […]
Rainbow Maker Day 1
What a great day of class today at Online Card Classes: Rainbow Maker. We started out with Kristina Werner showing us many ways to blend ink and create rainbow cards. Here’s my first samples: The last one is actually inking AND stenciling as taught by Laura Bassen. SO, for my first card I used that […]
Rainbow Happy Birthday
I’m so excited for the upcoming Online Card Classes: Rainbow Maker. So I couldn’t resist to make a few rainbow cards to get ready. I used a few stamp sets from Mama Elephant and a die from My Favorite Things. Here the second card: And, of course I couldn’t stop there. So I made another […]
Comparing Distress Ink & Distress Oxides: Watercoloring
[This is the second in a series of comparing Distress Ink vs. Distress Oxides. See the Blending comparison here.] The next question I had was: “Can you watercolor with the new Distress Oxide inks?” And, since it’s the end of shark week, I used sharks as my subject. I used Tim Holtz watercolor paper and […]
Distress Oxide Inks: Blending & Stencils (How do they compare?)
I will admit, I was skeptical about the new Distress Oxide Inks. In many pictures I saw using the Distress Oxide inks, they looked chalky and not as vibrant. They also looked muddy and unimpressive to me. Now, I love my original Distress Oxides for inking, but they are not so good for stamping. So […]
Glitzy Glitter! (MFT Camp Create Day 5)
Who can resist a little glittery glitz? Of course I was very excited about today’s camp craft with MFT. I took some darling MFT monkeys and added some glittery shirts using scor-tape. It’s nice and strong and keeps the glitter in place pretty well. Here’s my card: They are ready for a night out on […]
Divine Dry Embossing (MFT Camp Create Bonus)
For today’s camp craft, we learned more about dry embossing with a die cut. I opted to use my MFT striped cover plate and an embossing pad to make the following card: I used some Distress ink to ink up those daisies (from MFT) for some variation. I love how it turned out! Hope you […]
