Look What We Made

Today's class was a success and the ladies were very happy with their A2 Card Keepers. They are happy to share what they made in pictures right here, right now. They were able to select the colours they preferred.


When I've made some adjustments to the template, I will post it here on my blog under Templates/Documents and you can then make one on your own.

Seashore Stampers Blog Hop - Red & White Theme

Image
If you are coming from another Seashore Stamper's blog, welcome. This month's theme are the colours red and white. Since Canada Day is just around the corner, I decided to make a card using the Ruffled embossing folder that I had purchased earlier this year yet had never used. Recently I saw a card that had created a layer of ruffles and it reminded me of a flag waving in the wind. So, for my card, I used Real Red for the card base. I then cut a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to 4 x 5-1/4 inches and did a red watercolour wash to create the flag colours. Shimmery White cardstock is fantastic for use with watercolouring techniques. After it dried, I ran it through the Big Shot in the Ruffled folder. I used the Colorful Seasons stamp which returned to the catalogue for another year.

To add a bit of sparkle, I used the Wink of Stella p...

Our Big Shot acrylic plates become warped over time, making it difficult to position framelits/thinlits/edgelits dies over stamped images. Well, I have a method to straighten them that actually works. I have tried other methods only to find dissatisfactory results. What you will need: Aluminium foil Baking sheet   Very heavy pot * Remove the top rack from your oven and pre-heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap each acrylic plate individually in aluminum foil. Stack the wrapped plates on a large baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and stack the heavy pot on top of the plates. As you can see from the image, I easily stacked four plates. ‘Bake’ for 45-60 minutes. Remove everything from the oven and place on a protective surface. Reassemble the stack. It's important to keep everything the way it was in the oven duing the cooling period. Once cool unwrap the acrylic plates...

Seashore Stampers Blog Hop-Wedding Cards

Image
Have you heard church bells on Saturdays during the last couple of months? How about seeing those beautiful long limosines? Well, I have - and that's because June and July seem to be the most popular months for weddings here in Victoria. Actually, they are not. Did you know that December is the most popular month for engagements with August being the most popular month for weddings. And if you are interested in other wedding related FAQs, take a look at this interesting site. Several members of our Seashore Stampers group participated in our monthly card swap and created some beautiful wedding cards for our meeting on July 21. Some of those ladies will be participating in this month blog hop so you will be able to see their creations here as well as mine. So, let me explain why there are two cards. My first idea was to create interlocking hearts using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. Well, for whatever reason, after cutting about six of the hearts, I started to struggle getting the p...
