All Occasion Cards

On today’s live I created 3 All Occasion Cards with the Darling Dinos Bundle.  The Darling Dinos Bundle paired with the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper is perfect for these All Occasion Cards.  As I was looking through my shelf to decide what to create with this week, I spotted the Darling Dinos bundle—one of my favorites—and thought it would be fun to make three all-occasion cards: a kids birthday card, a baby card, and an ‘I love you’ card.

I had an absolute blast ink blending my background scenes! There’s just something so soothing about swirling those blending brushes across the paper—it’s totally my happy place. Some crafters love to color, others enjoy fussy cutting, but me? I’m all about the blend! What’s your go-to creative calm—coloring, cutting, or blending?

 

As mentioned above, the Darling Dinos Bundle was one of my favorites, be sure to catch my other 2 videos using this bundle and designer paper.

Turn a Scrapbook Layout into a Card

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy, learn how I turn a scrapbook layout into a card.  This template was a fun way to turn a scrapbook layout into a card by using the scrapbook layouts on page 28  in the Annual Catalog.

 

 

I used the 4th Sketch from the top row.

 

I rotated the orientation for my interpretation of this sketch for a fun card.

Triple Time Stamping Technique

This week on another Episode of Teach it Tuesday with Tammy and Jennie, we are creating projects using the Triple Time Stamping Technique.  The Triple Time Stamping Technique is a great technique regardless of whether you are beginning cardmaking or at a more experienced level.

After your standard A2 Card base you alternate layers with your colored panels and your basic white focal stamping panels.

 

 

 

The first step you are going to want to do is stamp your sentiment on the smallest basic white panel.

 

 

TIP: Add a glue dot behind the top panel and 2nd panel to hold layers in place.  Tap your finger on glue dot to allow the oils from your finger to make the glue dot less sticky.

 

 

This is how your panels should look before stamping.

 

 

Stamp your images to create your own background pieces.

 

 

Adhere your basic white panels to your secret sea panels.

 

 

Add either stampin dimensionals or foam adhesive sheets to the back of panel 1 and 2.  Line it you so your stamped images become one.

 

 

Your card should look like this when you are done. I created the Timid Tiger card on the live.  Be sure to comment on the video which one is your favorite.
