Design Basics 101 - March 21

 

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  I have a new video for you.  It is a little choppy but it was 15 minutes long originally.  Good grief!  I don't know how I manage to ramble on for so long.  So, all of that say that it is a little choppy in places because I had to cut it down.  This is another tweek from the Stampin' Success newsletter that Stampin' Up! sends to demonstrators every month.  I hope you enjoy video.  I'll see you next week with some videos of cards we made yesterday at the Spring Fling class.   

Supplies: 

Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Old Olive, So Saffron

Ink: Basic Black

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hi All.  I hope you all are having a wonderful St. Patrick's Day.  It is a beautiful sunny and warm day here.  I just love spring!  I thought I would share a card that I tweeked from the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Success newsletter today.  You will see the original in the post.  Here is my version.  I'll talk you through how and why I changed it.  I hope you enjoy. Be looking for some new videos.  I have several filmed that will go live after my Spring Fling Class on Saturday.  I'm off to prep for that now.  It's not too late to order one of the kits if you are interested.  See you soon!

Nursery Necessities

I found this card on my camera and realized that I "don't think" I ever shared it with you.  It uses the Nursery Necessities stamp set and the Nursery Alphabet Wheel.  For my base, I used Certainly Celery and wheeled it in Versa Mark.  My next layer is Whisper White card stock and then a layer of Bashful Blue DSP.  Up next is the large star.  I stamped it in So Saffron on Whisper White and punched it out with the start punch. I then stamped the small star that I stamped in Certainly Celery and punched it out with the small star punch. I stamped the words in basic black on Whisper White and cut it into a rectangle.  I adhered it and then added the button with a glue dot. If you look close you can tell that I used Dimensionals behind the Whisper White, the Bashful Blue DSP and the large star. Love those!

I will see you all first thing Wednesday for a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day card & video.

Hi All. This Design Basics 101 video is how to make what I am calling a "paper sniped flower."  There may be a more technical name out there but I have no idea what that might be, so I'm calling it a paper sniped flower.  Very original, huh?  I hope you enjoy!

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Friday. I had so much fun yesterday creating these flowers. Have you seen the ones that people are creating using the scallop circle punch? You can see a cute one here at my friend Amy's Blog. So, I got to thinking that I could make these larger. I haven't seen any this large but maybe someone has come up with this idea already, I don't know, but I think they are so cute. I used the Scallop Circle Die #2 in my Big Shot to create these. 

The first video was to be my original Design Basics 101 video. After I created that card I thought it would be cute to make a square card. Because I knew that people would want to see how to make just the flowers I did a second video just on creating those flowers. (It shows the square card.)  I hope you try these out and enjoy them as much as I can.

 

Supplies:

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Pink Passion, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Kaleidoscope

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Big Shot Scallop #2 Die, Large Glue Dots, Mini Glue Dots, Old Olive Stain Ribbon, Pink Epoxy Brad, Tempting Turquoise Button, Orange Rhinestone Brad, Scallop Trim Border Punch

Design Basics 101 - March 3

Hello Everyone! Sorry to be gone so long. I underestimated the impact creating these videos would have on my computer and my wonderful husband has upgraded my system to better handle them. Below is the next video in the Design Basics 101 Series. Since I have a more powerful computer these should come together more quickly which means you will begin seeing more videos around here. I am going to link to these videos under "Design Basics" by the date to make them easier to find in the future. This is also where the past tutorials are now located.

Today I focused on another card based on a sketch in my Layout Book. I am still getting used to the 10 minute time constraint from YouTube so I did some editing to the video. I will have to work on that in the future. The supplies I used are listed below.

Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Shimmery White

Designer Series Paper: Shades of Spring

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes

Punch: Extra Large Two Step Bird

Accessories: Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon, Rhinestone from Eggcellent Eggs Kit, Big Shot Square Scallop Die, Perfect Polka Dot Impression Folder, Two Way Glue, Dimensionals
