Technique Tuesday C is for Cling Wrap "Painting"

Hello there! I'm back with another Technique Tuesday. This week we are on to the letter "C" which stands for Cling Wrap. We're going to use this kitchen product to make a beautiful "painted" background to use on our card. It's pretty simple to do, and you'll never get the same results twice. 

What do you think? Try this out with different colors. I paired some blues and grays with the Legendary Ride stamp set to get a more masculine card. Same layout, totally different feel. I've kept both cards blank as I'm not sure what I'm going to use them for right now. Might just use them as notecards.

Hello there! I won't be posting much the next couple of weeks as I will be on a couple of trips to celebrate graduations. I hope to be back to a regular schedule in June though.

I love that we are able to use the half-flowers from the edges of the Designer Series Paper for this one. Don't want to waste any of that pretty paper!

• Card base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Cocoa & Crafts Irresistible Blooms 1

Hello there! Whew! It's been a while, but we are back with another round of Cocoa & Crafts. First there was a supply issue, and then a shipping issue, so we had to postpone the April class until May, but it is such a pretty stamp set that it is worth the wait. 

Our first project this month is a pop up card that highlights the pretty Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. Super fun, but quick project today. 

The DSP is cut in such a way that you get two slightly different cards from one sheet of 6 x 6 paper with no scraps left over. 

Measurements for this card:

• Card base - 11 x 4 1/4 scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2
• Card front - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
• Designer Series Paper front panel - 6 x 3 (trimmed after adhering to front-see video)
• Designer Series Paper inside panel - 2 1/2 x 4
• Stopper piece - 1/2 x 4 1/4

Irresistible Blooms Shaker Box

Hello there! I am here today to share this super fun shaker box with you. I knew I wanted to give this a try as soon as I saw the dies for this set. This ends up being a pretty good sized box that you could fit lots of goodies in and then the recipient has a pretty box to keep as well. 

I forgot to mention in the video that I did not stamp the flower that is on the Blushing Bride box. That one was die cut from the flower print paper in the  Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper pack. I think if I make this again I will heat emboss in white to get the same effect. 

Dimensions:

• Box top 8 x 6
• scored on short side at 1 and 5 (or 1 inch in from both sides)
• scored on long side at 1, 2, 6, 7 (or 1 and 2 inches in from both sides)
• Box bottom 7 7/8 x 7 7/8
• scored at 2 and 5 7/8 in both directions (or 2 inches in from each side)

• Card base- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Front and inside panels- 5 1/4 x 4
