Technique Class #1

So how far behind am I? These are pictures of the projects we made last Wednesday and I was supposed to post it before class. Oops.

This first card uses the baby wipe technique to make your own multi-colored stamp pad.
Colors: Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, Marina Mist
Stamps: Printed Petals
Accessories: Square Lattice EF, Rhinestone Brad, Curly Label Punch, Scallop Edge Punch

This second card uses the embossed resist technique. After embossing your image clear, you sponge ink on top and the image appears.

Colors: So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Lovely Lilac
Stamps: Printed Petals, Swirls and Curls Verses


And this is the last project. A great way to keep your notebook from getting ruined in your purse. It's a really great gift. It uses the clear stamp cases and a jr. legal pad cut down to fit. It was so cute.

Yeah, so it's not May anymore, but this is the last page I finished for my challenge. No I didn't get 30 pages done, but 16 isn't bad. It's more than I did all of last year, so I pretty happy with it. I may need to challenge myself to a page a day in September. I really have some catching up to do.

I'm not in love with this page, it was much cuter in my head, but it's done and it's time to move on.

Where have I been?

I'm not sure anyone still reads this blog, but in case you come to visit and were wondering where I've been, I had a baby and that takes priority. I have been creating, just not posting. Hopefully, I have some more time to post the things I've been making. For now, we'll play catch up, starting with Mother's Day. I made these cards using the floating reinker technique that I taught at my last class. For instructions on how to do this technique, you can watch this video from this blog.


The other thing I made my mom was this necklace and ribbon flower. The video on how to make this flower can be found here. I love this flower and keep meaning to make one for myself. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but hopefully one day.


So, that's Mother's Day, and hopefully it won't be long until my next post.

Page A Day in May 12-15

Here are three more pages. I know that I've counted this as 4 pages, but that's because the second page, the little things/big things page I actually made three of for 3 different scrapbooks.

This page includes some fun new downloads, the stitching. I knew I wanted to buy them as soon as I saw them, but I decided to wait until I had a project that needed them. Turns out, the project came sooner than I anticipated. It's perfect.

I just love this page, probably because I love these pictures. It was actually a fairly quick and straight forward layout. Stampin' Up! has a great website for working with this program mydigitalstudio.net. I went looking for ideas and saw a layout similar to this and then whipped this up PDQ. The only thing not already in the program is the font for "Snow Bear" which I found on some free font website.

Here's my 10th layout for May. I was getting a little overwhelmed with my multi-picture layouts so I decided to pick a few layouts that only have 1-3 pictures. You'll be seeing those as soon as I get them uploaded. This one is done with MDS and the My Sweet Pea kit that you can purchase from SU! online. It has my favorite color Taken with Teal (it even matches the shirt I was wearing), so I had to buy it.

If you have any questions about digital scrapbooking, the My Digital Studio program, or anything else you see, just let me know. It really is a fantastic program and look at how much I'm getting done.

Punch Bunch

This is a set of cards using an image from Punch Bunch. Mostly simply, easy cards.

This uses a technique called embedded embossing. I punched out the image, mounted it to a punched scalloped circle and then attached it to the other paper and then used and embossing folder and when it comes out, it looks like it's all part of the same paper. Really cool technique.

This card is pretty much all non-SU! stuff, but I really like it and wanted to share. The line of stitching down the middle of the butterflies is hand sewn with a new product I found, Sew Easy. I'm pretty excited about trying it out some more, even though it probably takes longer than using a sewing machine, I don't own one so I'll do this for now.
