Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.

Today’s tutorial is on how to create this inlaid card. So let’s get to it. 🙂 Start with a card base cut tall instead of our regular.  Instead of cutting at 5 1/2 inches cut instead at 4 1/4″.  Then score at 5 1/2 ” and not 4 1/4″.  Thick white is used here.

Tape can look like a glaze.

Sometimes messy is what is needed.

When I went to OnStage I saw one of the presenters create a background by smearing or swiping their stamp across a glossy paper.  That got me to thinking.  I can create movement with only two dimensions.  So I took some glossy cardstock and basic black ink and did the unthinkable.  I smeared my ink. Continue reading “Sometimes messy is what is needed.”

When Stampin’ Up! Meets Vegas!

I finally have an original thought.  I don’t believe I have actually seen this idea anywhere.  I used the Fruit Basket Stamp Set with coordinating mini punches to create a slot machine card.  I am so excited that it is an original. Here is the link to view the tutorial…https://youtu.be/F5cVU4Y1iq8 And here is the photoContinue reading “When Stampin’ Up! Meets Vegas!”

Watercolor pencils and aqua painters, oh my.

I’ve had so much fun with the alcohol markers that I don’t know if we have forgotten about other ways to color.  There are blender pens to be used with the ink pads, re-inkers, or watercolor pencils.  There are the regular stampin’ write markers.  And finally, there are the watercolor pencils with the aqua painter. Continue reading “Watercolor pencils and aqua painters, oh my.”

Paper is not just for cards.

How far have you gone to create with paper?  Besides cards, boxes, favors, and the occasional punched out flower…what else have you created? Recently one of my fellow demonstrators was part of a paper fashion show.  She created an entire dress out of paper. Here’s the link to this fabulous event…https://www.facebook.com/ilike9news/videos/10155850923151077/?t=7 Happy Crafting! With inkyContinue reading “Paper is not just for cards.”
