Card tutorials, craft tips, and Stampin' Up products

Barely getting these out in time for the class! August, second Saturday, is the next Monochromatic card class, and due to holidays and such, our order at the store was delayed much longer than anticipated. So the samples for the class are only now just completed once our order arrived. Thank you faithful Monochromatic Card class followers that signed up even without knowing what we are making! So, without further ado, here are the cards. I'll refer to the cards by the name of the Bazzill cardstock. First up is, Brocade. The name inviokes wealth and elegance. I think this colour does, too. To blog followers this may look familiar. I created a similar card for a blog challenge not too long ago, here, and some of the customers at Scrapbook Parade requested that I include the card in a class when they saw my entry. So I made a few little changes and this is the result. I like this one much better. I couldn't help wondering if I did it a third time would it be better still? lol. Here are a couple of detail close ups, which may be a little blurry because I got too close with the camera. Nest in the line up, also make one think of soft luxury, Cashmere. And more too close shots for closeups. Next we have Aqua, a gorgeous colour. The one thing that I'm quite proud of with this card, is that I managed to make all those Liquid Pearls close in size! That is quite the undertaking. It must be all that practice I get teaching classes. Scoring the diamond pattern turned out to be more challengingas I hadn't done that technique in quite a while. Here are a couple of other detail shots for this card. So, the last card for the August Monochromatic card series is, Citrus. Another gorgeous colour. Well that's it for the August Monochromatic Card Classes. I have September's ready too and will post them soon. Below you'll find what I used for each card. Thank you so much for stopping by to have a peek and leave your comments. Till next time! Happy crafting!

I am usually not so early with my Muse submission. I like to take a look on a daily basis to get a feel for the inspiration; think about what supplies I have that would work for it. Yesterday? BAM!! Vicki Dutcher's inspiration card just grabbed me, and away I went!! Here is Vicki's inspiration... see if it gives you a burst of creative energy,too: I didn't have a quality black cardstock, so I reached for Smoky Shadow from PTI and Ranger Fine Detail embossing powder, and another dose of one of my favorite Technique Tuesday sentiments. For Muse 88, and Vicky: I love this look so much, I made a second helping: This time Fuse Green CS from MFT - which totally reads gold to my eyes, Ranger Pewter embossing powder, Clearly Besotted sentiment, and that brilliant Agapanthus cling stamp from Stampendous. Oh! that vellum? Inked on the back with ink pad - dries slowly, but I love the look and the ability to make any color I want! Some inks work better than others, so you'll have to do a little experiment on your own... don't make the mistake I did... let it dry, overnight, so the ink doesn't transfer to your card!!

I had this gorgeous Waffle Flower Crafts Orchid Layering Die set out yesterday. Jaycee Gaspar [from Altenew] recently reminded me of my love of grey... If you do Instagram, you can find his version here. It was easy to use these products again with the appropriate colors for Color Hues #59 Green and Gold challenge. That same WF Orchid, and Altenew's Vintage Tile embossing folder. Orchids cut from white and dabbed with Brilliance Galaxy Gold mounted on Concord & 9th Parsley cardstock. Then reversed: Parsley orchids, and a gorgeous matte gold cardstock from a sweet UK friend. Have you noticed I didn't include any sentiments? Think I was at a loss for words? Ha! Never gonna happen! So. Now which of the two gets sent to the Color Hues gallery? You'll just have to go find out - hey, while you're there why not play along?? =] Michele

Добрый день! С вами Елена Славина)) Сегодня я покажу, какие разные по настроению работы можно создать, используя одинаковую вырубку)) Главный герой моих открыток - нож рамка "Куст шиповника". Именно эта рамка задаёт композиции в моих открытках, а многочисленные вырубные листочки и веточки создают невесомый объем. Удивительно, как цветовая гамма меняет настроение работы! Ножи Fantasy, которые я использовала для создания свои[ открыток: - Капельники 2 - Ветки малюськи - Капельник осенний - рамка "Куст шиповника" Кроме того, я применила чипборд "Розовый шиповник", разделив листочки на фрагменты. Часть чипборда окрасила штемпельными подушечками и использовала в серо-бежевой открытке, а два листика оставила в первозданном виде и приклеила в зеленой открытке. Основы открыток выполнены из бумаги для акварели, крафт бумаги, скрапбумаги разных производителей. Фон серо-бежевой открытки усложнен штампингом архивными чернилами. Все цветы в открытках самодельные. Также использовала сизаль и брызги разными красками. Благодарю за внимание! буду рада, если напишите, какая открытка вам больше нравится))
