June Stamping Class Part Two

 So many beautiful new goodies to play with this month, it takes two blog posts just to tell you about them! The first one was created with the Notes & Totes bundle and Florals in Bloom DSP. I used Garden Green, Bubble Gum, and Pretty in Pink on the accents. The second card was made with the Inspiring Imperfections  bundle and the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP, oh! and those cute little embellishments are called Flower Accents. Basic White and Misty Moonlight provide the perfect color combo for this card.

As I mentioned in my previous post, due to the popularity of our June SALE, some of these items have temporarily sold out. However Ships will be arriving at our ports in Los Angeles in just a few weeks with more product.

June Stamping Class Part One

 This fun fold is so easy to make!  I used it in my local Stamping class this week. I've seen it around the internet called various things, but I call it the Mini Flap Fold. Such a unique name right? lol! These samples use products from two different suites. The first one is from Kintsugi Inspirations beginning on page 58, and the next two are from Beautiful Gallery beginning on page 52. With the sale going on this month, some of these items just sold out, but have no fear, the ships will arrive with more stock in July:) 

To make this fold, you need:

• 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" (card base)
• 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" score @ 3-1/4" (small card on front of card base)
• 5-3/4" x 3-1/4" (2 die cuts, second largest square from Stylish Shapes Die) You can use any other shape in place of dies, if desired
• DSP pattern A 4" x 5-1/4" (front of card base)
• DSP pattern B 2" x 4 " (front flap of small card)
• DSP pattern B 3" x 4" (inside small card)

Clue #1:

• Trimmer w/scoring blade
• Bone Folder
• Paper Snips
• Stamp set/s with coordinating dies if you like
• Designer Series Paper of your choice (DSP)
• Ink pads that coordinate with the DSP
• Cardstock colors that coordinate with the DSP as well as Basic White or Beige
• Adhesives
• Embellishments of your choice

Clue #2: This will be a landscape style card with the opening on the bottom. Cut and prep initial pieces.

Clue #3 The card base cut 4-1/4" x 5."

Clue #4 Cut Designer Series Paper 4" x 5-1/4" adhere to card base.

Clue #5 Basic White or Beige cs cut 4" x 11" score @ 3-3/4" and 7-1/2."

Clue #6 In the portrait position, with the largest section at the top, fold the score line closest to the bottom up toward the top. Then fold the score line closest to the top down towards the bottom. Close the flaps, and you will open them in this manner: open the first flap up, and the next flap down.

Clue #7 Adhere the the panel fold you just made to the card front so that the largest panel is on the top/front, with an even border on the top, right and bottom edges.

Clue #8 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" and adhere to the top panel (the largest one).

Clue #9 Cut DSP 3-3/4" x 3-1/4" and adhere to the outside of the the panel that has an opening at the top. (After opening the first panel up, you see the second panel which you will open down. This is the one that gets this size DSP.)

Clue #10 Cut cardstock 3-3/4" x 7/8" and adhere to the left side of the card front, so that there is an equal border at the top, left, and bottom edges. There will also be a border to the right between this piece and the three panel fold.

Clue #11 Cut DSP 3/4" x 3-5/8" and adhere to the skinny little cardstock panel on the card front.

Clue #12 Turn the card base over and on the back, adhere a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock to the back of the card base. Then cut a 1" x 4" piece of DSP and adhere it to the left side of the white layer.

Accordion Fold

 

I learned how to make this fold from Tami White and couldn't wait to try it out using our scenic DSP. This paper is called Beautiful Gallery, and has some stunning artwork in it. You feel like you're in a museum when using it, but let that stop you from using it! I accidently ordered 2 packs of it and I am so glad of that happy accident:)

Accordian Fold with Panoramic Views

Video Tutorial

Kintsugi Kreations!

 Hello! Happy Monday:) It's raining again here in the deep south, and our flowers are growing like CRAZY!

I think I mentioned this before, but this is my FAVORITE stamp set!!!!!! The mended gold veins become a celebration of imperfection instead of hiding it. I love the whole philosophy behind the artistic repair of broken pottery. Kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.  People should treat each other that way. Celebrating imperfections, that's such a beautiful thought. We are who we arem because of our imperfections, they make us the person we have become. 

This stunning product suite is more unique than anything I've seen in the paper art industry, and I'm so happy to be able to create with it. If you'd like to include this little note in your cards, here is a FREE PDF for you to print out.

For the recipient of our cards to know what Kintsugi is, makes them
appreciate and enjoy a card made with this bundle even more!

This board illustrates the stamps and dies found in this bundle, as well as the embossing folder and some of the DSP which can be cut out with the dies.



This card uses the DSP as well as stamped and diecut images applied to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals for a unique artistic look. The envelope has a stamped bowl and cherry blossoms.


This is an advancd level card. It took a while to make but the results are so worth it. The Shoji screen is made with a gate fold opening and the panes were done with a Sharpie marker. Measuring to get the lines even and symetrical was a challenge! On the inside, the screen idea was repeated with Vellum for a see through look. Diecut cherry blossoms complete the look of the outside peeking in.

Notes & Totes

 This card is similar to the one we made at my New Catalog Launch. It's stepped up a bit in the background. I used Blending Brushes to create sky, water and sand on a Basic White panel.

Whispering Waves

 Waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

Powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.
Cascading and caressing each grain of sand,
A warm embrace between sea and land.

High above, a seagull soars high.
Wings of purity it spreads to fly.
Battling high against darkened cloud,
In a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

Beneath, the sand is soft and warm.
Sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.
A passionate battle between calmness and rage,
A new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

I listen again to the whispering waves,
Music of nature calming and brave.
Its power unknown, its stillness untamed,
Mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.

Edel T. Copeland

Happy Mistakes

 How many times have you just finished a card only to drop it on an inkpad? I've used splatter stamps and diecuts to cover up stray ink marks and even used my trusty Mono Sand Eraser. Today, it was a dooszy of an ink smear and I grabbed some scrap DSP that coordinated with the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle and covered up the mess in TWO PLACES! I'm glad that the smears weren't in the middle of the card lol!

Oh! I've got something else fun to share with you too. See the branch on the second card? That diecut was designed to be the branch for those flowers AND the "join" in the Kintsugi method of pottery repair. If you diecut it out of gold foil, it looks awesomely authentic as a Kintsugi method of repair. Don't forget I made a PDF of little notes explaining what Kintsugi is for your card recipients. You can find it in a previous post - HERE.
