Techniques 1 and 2 (Floating Frame Card & Faux Wood Burning)-- 2 Fun Projects

 

I used a window sheet for this creation.  Then simply added every other scrap pc. in a different color card stock (Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis).  I used a Layering Circle die to cut out the center and then made this card.  The rest of the window sheet was decorated as well of course for a different look on a 2nd card.  Unfortunately, I sent out that other card without taking a picture-- duh!!  This was definitely my favorite of the 2 cards though, and it was nice to get 2 separate projects just by using the "Floating Frame" Technique.  

Here is a list of StampinUP products used:

--Amazing Thanks Dies

--In Color Matte Dots

--Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

 

 For this card, I used the "Faux Wood Burning" Technique.  The Stamparatus was used to ink the flower and sentiment exactly in the same spot 3 different times.  After that, I used a Water Painter to bleed out the Early Espresso Ink a little bit.  Then the vanilla card stock dried just a smidge, and when it was still damp, I put the pc. thru the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for some texture.  Bingo Bango!!  A very simple technique and I totally "cased" this idea from demo Sharon Armstrong.

 

If you have any questions about either technique or the products used, please let me know.  Thanks very much for blogging by!!  Lori Helvick

Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and Flowers For Every Season Paper

 

 Hi Stampers!!  This is a super easy card layout that features designer series paper by StampinUP!!  I used the 6 x 6 pack that's called Flowers For Every Season, but of course you could substitute with any other paper that you have on hand  : )  There are 2 separate layers of DSP and cut to fit nicely together.  I used thick Whisper White card stock for the base and Night of Navy ink.

The sentiment comes from the Celebrate Sunflowers set.  If you look at this stamp set on pg. 13 in the Annual Catalog, you will see "Thanks a bunch" is one long stamped image.  (that is not the case with my set however).  When I first got this set, I cut the "bunch" away and made 2 separate pcs.  This is my personal preference of course & sometimes I like to do that to my stamps.  I can always but the 2 pcs. back together on the block if I want a long sentiment but my way just gives me a choice  : )

I hope you like my simple creation today and now, GO STAMP SOMETHING!!  Personally, I'm heading downstairs to my craft room to do just that myself  (smile). 

Thank you for blogging by......LORI
