Stampin Up Pinwheel Sizzlit Card

Stampin Up Pinwheel Sizzlit Card

Hiya Stampers!!  Here is my first creation using the Pinwheel sizzlit from Stampin Up! that just arrived on Monday.  I *finally* tidied up my work table and had some time to sit down and tinker…. only to make another gigantic mess creating this card  😛

This is the first of many I suspect, as what I had in my mind isn’t exactly how it turned out – but it was still cute enough so I decided to keep it.  I wanted to put a banner or bunting across the top – but I don’t have the pennant punch… So I improvised and used the petite curly label punch instead.  I think it would have looked more like I wanted if I had of put a few more layers of bakers twine and bows at the end?!

Guess I will have to get to the work table tonight and find out huh?

materials used:

  • Baja breeze card stOck (base)
  • Stampin Up Pinwheel
  • Subtles patterned DSP
  • Whisper White
  • Dots Embossing folder

Stampin Up Chalkboard technique

When I found this ADORABLE version of Stampin Up’s chalkboard technique from Feathertassel I knew I had to demonstrate the chalkboard in my upcoming workshop!

So, stampers:  get ready! This will be a SUPER SUPER fun & creative project (one of THREE!)

Be sure to RSVP at Meetup.com – it’s free & easy to sign up!  I will be posting more sneak previews of projects for the workshop April 6 so be sure to check back!

 

Can’t make the April 6th date?  I am also holding a mini-workshop with limited space where I will be demonstrating projects using the Big Shot, along with bleaching & glittering techniques that are not able to be shown at the larger workshops.

I have been so busy with life the last week I *finally* got to sit down at the crafty table! *does the happy dance*

I just got my Sale-A-Bration goodies and I thought I would tinker with a technique that I will be using in one of my workshops. I don’t know what it’s called – bit when done correctly it gives the appearance of movement to an image

Here is what I made:

I cropped the background out (read: my messy craft table)- so it’s hard to see the crumb cake sponged edges that add to the vintage look & feel of this stamp set.

This was my first attempt with this technique & this stamp set so I think I will have another go at it… Tomorrow

Until later Stampers

Our first workshop was a success!  It was a small group this time but we had a great time and learned new projects & techniques.  (Myself included!)

For this workshop we made 3 projects:

  1. Easter treat holder / party favor
  2. Owl card
  3. Swallowtail Butterfly card using ghosting technique

Here are a few pictures of my examples I used in class.
