Old Revisited #2 w/Tutorial

Here is a card I did back in April '07 with a tutorial to boot!

stamp: weathered, canvas; ink: bashful blue, creamy caramel; paper: bashful blue, white, creamy caramel, designer paper; accs: brads, word window punch, 1 3/8 square punch, 1 1/4 circle punch

Tutoiral: I used the SU 1 3/8 square punch and punched a piece of printer paper for my template. Each corner is marked A, B, C, D. Cut each corner towards the middle. To get my cut lines, I fold corner to opposite corner and cut on the crease line.) Stop cutting before you get to the middle.

Now take corner A and fold it towards the middle, take corner B and fold it towards the middle and so on. Glue down tips and add a brad smack dab in the middle (or whatever you want to) after the glue has dried.




Here is another card with the same layout as above using pinwheels:

stamp: canvas, it's your birthday; ink: chocolate chip; paper: chocolate chip, cameo coral, mellow moss, spring flower designer paper; accs: vintage brads, 1 3/8 square punch, circle punch, ticket punch

Check back tomorrow... sneak peeks for MFT are coming!!!

My weekend theme

I am going to make the weekend blog postings a theme. That theme will be "Old Revisited", I will be posting cards, cakes or just pictures that I had made before I started blogging. I'm going with this theme as I haven't seemed to stamped the past couple of weekends but I still want to post to my blog.

So for today, here are two cards that I picked from my card album:

This card was for the Ways to use it challenge #81 back in Oct.'06 which was to take a color combo from the color wheel or a color site. Thanks to Laura and her site: http://www.scraptitude.com/colorcombo/ for the color combo. The 'my friend' is actually mounted on going gray! Funny how the gray even took on the amethyst color. I decided to decorate the envelope which isn't something i do very often, I should but don't think about it!

stamp set: Blossoms Abound, Canvas; ink: cameo coral, almost amethyst, barely banana, going gray, gable green ; cardstock: almost amethyst, barely banana, going gray, gable green; accs: eyelet


This card was for 4 challenges on Splitcoaststampers back in Nov.'06! Try a New Technique #89 - Mirror,Mirror; Color Combination #87; Sketch Challenge#97; Ways to Use It #86 - Liquid Applique. This was a birthday card for Dh's boss/friend. I made the snowflakes in the "water" with the white gel pen.

stamp set: Wildlife Reserve, Flannel Plaid, Rough around the Edges wheel; ink: chocolate chip, Basic Brown; paper: cool caribbean, chocolate chip, white, more mustard; accs: liquid applique, brads, watercolor pencils, white gel pen

I had a great time sewing yesterday for my little one. She was so proud to try on her dress that her mommy made her! I still have to make a matching hat before I post a picture of the entire outfit. While sewing the dress, I had the strongest urge to sew on a card. But I repressed the urge and kept on sewing the dress! But just maybe I'll sew on a card soon enough. It's not that hard to sew on paper as that is how i was taught to sew at first and how I will teach Allie, my 8 yr old, when she takes sewing in 4-H this summer. hehe I'll have to post her "sewing" on paper when she does...well that is if she isn't better than me!! ;)
