July '10 - Greenhouse Gala PPSAS7

Paper Pack Stamp-A-Stack 7

July '10 - Greenhouse Gala

 

Supplies:

Greenhouse Gala paper pack (contact me)

Define Your Life stamp set (114950)

Chocolate Chip classic ink (100908)
Pumpkin Pie 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon (115616)
Two-Step Owl punch (118074)

Heart-To-Heart punch (119881)

Bitty Buttons (118761)

Big Shot (113439)
Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (120175)

Tombow Multi-purpose adhesive (110755)

Snail adhesive (104332)



Steps:

1) Cut all four colored 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, plus one white 8-1/2" x 11" sheet in half, so you have 10 sheets measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". 

 

2) Set aside six sheets to be used as card bases, usually one of each color and two white.  Fold those in half using your bone folder.  

3) From the remaining sheets of 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" colored paper, choose the two colors which coordinate best with all the patterns of designer series paper (DSP).  Cut those sheets in half, and set one half of each color aside for larger mats.  From the remaining two sheets, cut six 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strips.  If you plan before you cut you can get two strips running one way and a third strip running the other way from each 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" sheet.  

4) Cut six 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" large mats out of the remaining colored sheets.  

5) Cut six 3-7/8" x 3-5/8" patterned mats out of the 6"x6" squares of designer series paper.  

6) Lay out your cards to choose your color combinations.  Each card requires one card base, one large 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" mat, one patterned mat, and one strip.  Do not glue the large mat to the card base yet!  You will need to tape your ribbon to the back of the large mat first.  

7) Run the 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strip through the Big Shot to give it texture, either with an embossing folder or a texture plate.  

8) Adhere the patterned mat and the textured strip to the large mat.  Choose a ribbon to cover the seam between the two.  Tape the ribbon to the back of the large mat with simple office tape, then adhere the large mat to the card base.  

9) Now that you've gotten this far, take your card design in any direction.  Look through your stamps and choose whatever you think works with the patterns in the designer series paper.  Use the untouched white sheet of card stock to stamp, and the textured card stock and leftover DSP as mats and highlights.  

To continue duplicating my design....

10) Punch the owls out of both colors of textured card stock, and alternate colors when building the owl.  First place the vest, but don't glue it down.  Next glue the large eye circles using Tombow multi-purpose glue, and using the vest as a guide.  Once the eyes are placed, glue down the vest.  Separately, glue the tiny eye circles on the medium eye circles, using tweezers if necessary.  When those are done, glue the medium eye circles to the owl.  Lastly attach the heart.

11) Stamp the "together" definition in Chocolate Chip ink on white card stock and cut it out.  Cut a mat out of textured card stock.  Adhere the matted definition and the owls to the card as shown in my example.  

12) Punch two small hearts with the heart-to-heart punch.  Glue them to the backs of the heart shaped Bitty Buttons.  Glue those to your card as shown in my example.  You're done!  

 

Tips:

• Don't follow all my directions! Make this layout your own. Get creative. Adjust for your own style and your supplies. 
• If you don't have a Big Shot to add texture to the 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strips, cut those strips out of textured card stock instead.  
• Experiment with different layouts within this larger layout design.  Try leaving the DSP uncovered to show off it's pattern, or cover it almost completely with another square of white cardstock and a stamped design.  Place your focal point on the right hand strip, or in the center of the DSP mat.  There are a lot of possibilities.  
• Experiment with different ways to dress up your ribbon.  Try a bow, a knot with ends, layered ribbon or layered lace on ribbon, or a strip of contrasting DSP used in place of a ribbon.
• To add "thread" to the heart buttons, cut tiny strips of card stock from scraps and thread those through.  Since these buttons are transparent, cut the ends of the strips very short and try to wrap them directly underneath.  Attach with Tombow glue.    
• It's easy to punch out additional hearts from the Two-Step Owl punch.  Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punch holes.  Since the heart is on the edge of the punch, you can just slide a small corner of paper into that area only and punch out a heart without wasting card stock.  Try placing the owls' hearts above their heads.  
• Don't forget the inside of the card and the envelope!  Stamp a subtle design or a greeting on each.  Think of how your recipient will open the envelope and the card.
  
• Post a picture of your creations and leave a link here in the comments section!  If you upload to a public site, such as SplitCoastStampers.com, please use the keyword PPSAS7.

July 2010 Newsletter - Christmas in July

Christmas in July

The best time to make Christmas cards is when the weather is hot and the drinks are cold.   Come to my July 17th class and make 30 cards quickly and easily using the brand-new Simply Scrappin' kit "Christmas Cheer".  

Make your cards now with no holiday stress, and they'll be finished and ready when you want them on December 1st.  Everyone on your Christmas list will love receiving special hand-made cards which are unlike anything they've seen in the stores.  You'll love how fun they are to make with the self-adhesive die cuts, designer paper, and quality Stampin' Up! designs.  This year's Christmas colors of Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Marina Mist, and Very Vanilla are beautiful and stylish.

Bring your friends and we'll have a Christmas in July card-making party!  If you can't make the date, just find 3 friends who also want to make cards and we'll schedule a private class, either at your house or at mine.  

The new Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog is here!  

See the newest colors, designs, tools, and ideas!  I am absolutely in love with the colors which are available this year, and it seems like there is a new stamp set on almost every page of the catalog.  This year we have clear-mount stamps, a new punch design, new storage solutions, new accessories... there is so much, you'll just have to get a catalog for yourself.  Even if you aren't looking to buy much, you'll love the ideas on every page.  The catalog is a $10 value, but you can get one for free by hosting a workshop!

I am especially thrilled with the new Getting Started collection.  This is a set of 12 colors which are versatile enough to be used for any occasion, and which look good together in almost any combination.  Instead of buying ink and card stock in individual packages, or as a collection of Brights, Subtles, etc., try the Getting Started collection of ink spots and card stock.

Featured Project for July

July's card is a quick and easy design, just perfect for when you need to restock your stash of handmade cards.  Use different sentiments to make cards for every occasion.  This example features Greenhouse Gala paper from the new catalog.  Would you like to make this card, plus receive the new catalog for free?  Host a workshop with your friends!

What have you been doing this year?   Wouldn't you like to share your family news, along with all your pictures, with your family and friends?  Send a family newsletter!  Some people send newsletters now during the summer break; others wait and send a Christmas letter.  Either way, your distant family would love to see photos and hear the latest on your family.  In this age of Facebook and email, sending a real letter means twice as much.   How to write a family newsletter:  Most importantly, write like you're talking on the telephone.  Don't write in the third person like the butler is writing the letter for you.  Instead say, "The kids and I went to the beach", or "I've just started a new project".  Devote one paragraph to each family member and one paragraph to each major event.  Keep it simple.	Easily add photos, text, background patterns, mats and layers, or other elements.  My Digital Studio has the most intuitive interface I've ever used.
Pictures are worth 1,000 words.  Make sure you include many good-sized photographs.  Consider designing your newsletter a little like this one, with photos and captions down the side of your block of text.  If you don't have much to write, add more photos.  Design the back side of your letter with nothing but extra-large photos and captions.  Write all your captions first - it will change what you write in your letter.   Think about layouts. You don't have to be an experienced scrapbooker to lay out text and photos for your family newsletter.  First plan how much you want to write.  Will it take up most of a page or just three paragraphs?  Then arrange your photographs accordingly.  You could have a few smallish photos down one side, or many photos across the top, bottom, and both sides.  If you're using My Digital Studio, artist-designed templates and layouts are available for you to use directly or as inspiration.	Some software does too much and you need to be a professional to use it.  Other software doesn't do enough.  Buy the right program for the job -  My Digital Studio.
Make it easy.   You might be thinking that writing a family newsletter is just too hard, or you don't have the time.  I admit, with the wrong software it can be a frustrating, time consuming project.  But with the right software you can put together a letter in just one afternoon!  For example, every month I send out "Charly's Ink Link" newsletters with different backgrounds, photos, and embellishments.  I can put it all together quickly, since I'm using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!   Take care of Christmas in July.   The winter holidays are stressful enough.  Why not prepare for them this summer when you have some extra time?  Buy My Digital Studio now, and check out the amazing templates and fun designs which come with the program.  Experiment by putting together a first-draft letter and your photos of the year so far, and then you'll be able to finish up your holiday letter in November, stress-free.   Family newsletters are only the beginning.   My Digital Studio is perfect for family newsletters, but of course that's not all it does.  It's a digital scrapbooking and card making program, and it comes pre-loaded with backgrounds, photo layouts, punches and shapes, digital stamps, images, embellishments, and templates.  Use it to print out a professional quality last-minute birthday card, or show off your vacation photos using the artist-designed scrapbook templates.   There is so much you can do with this program, you'll just have to schedule a meeting with me so I can give you a tour.  Invite your friends and make it a party!  Everyone will take home a sample.	With My Digital Studio you can start creating the same day you install your software.  You won't need to take a class or buy a book, just start experimenting and see how easy it is.

June '10 - Presto Patterns PPSAS6

 

Paper Pack Stamp-A-Stack 6

June '10 - Presto Patterns

Supplies:

Presto Patterns paper pack (contact me)

Country Morning stamp set (115334)

Brayer (102395)

Grid paper (102787)

Bone folder (102300)

Paper cutter (104152)

Snail adhesive (104332)

Dotto adhesive (103305)

Stampin' Dimensionals (104430) (optional)

Classic ink pads and Stampin' Write markers in coordinating colors

Used here: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Sage Shadow, Going Gray

Other supplies: 

Baby wipes (not cleaning wipes - make sure wipes contain no alcohol or bleach)

Steps: 

1) Cut all four colored 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, plus one white 8-1/2" x 11" sheet in half, so you have 10 sheets measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". 

2) Set aside six sheets to be used as card bases, usually one of each color and two white.  Fold those in half using your bone folder.  

3) Cut a 3/4" strip off the bottom of both 6x6" textured sheets.  Cut each sheet into three 2" strips, so you have 6 textured strips measuring 2" x 5-1/4".  

4) Cut a 3/4" x 4" strip off the bottom of one of the Presto Patterns designer series paper (DSP) squares.  Cut a 2-1/16" x 5-1/4" strip off the same DSP square.  

5) Use a brayer to color the Presto Patterns DSP strips: First stick the 2-1/16" strip down to your grid paper using Dotto adhesive.  Roll your brayer over the darker colored stampin' pad until the brayer is well coated.  Starting with your brayer below the DSP strip, and parallel, roll the brayer back and forth inching slowly up the strip of Presto Patterns.  In this way you will first roll ink over the bottom 1/16" of the strip, then as you roll back you'll ink the bottom 1/8" of the strip, then the bottom 3/16", etc., until you've reached the top.  Your brayer can roll off the DSP strip on the left and right sides as you roll back and forth.  You will also be getting a lot of ink on your grid paper, so make sure you have enough space.  

6) Your 2-1/16" x 5-1/4" strip of Presto Patterns paper should now have graduated color all the way up, with the color very dark at the bottom and very light (or almost white) at the top.  Clean off the brayer using a baby wipe.  Repeat the process using the second, lighter ink color, and starting from the top.  In my example here I started with Dusty Durango going up from the bottom, and Crushed Curry coming down from the top.  The Crushed Curry was too light of a color, and I had to brayer that color twice from the top down.

7) After removing the 2-1/16 strip from the grid paper, repeat the process again with the 3/4" strip of Presto Patterns DSP.  The two strips should look similar.  

8) Stamp your images and/or quote on the Whisper White card stock, and cut out.  Color images using coordinating markers, if necessary.  

9) Cut mats from a contrasting color from the extra 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" sheets.  The mat for the 3/4" Presto Patterns strip will measure 7/8" x 4".  Measure your other images and cut mats for them also, each mat will be 1/8" both taller and wider, to create a 1/16" border on all sides. 

10) Lastly, stick down all the parts of your card with Snail adhesive and/or Stampin' Dimensionals.  Start with the Presto Patterns 2-1/16" x 5-1/4" strip on the right side, and the textured card stock on the left side on top and overlapping by only 1/16".  Adhere all the other pieces to their mats, arrange them by eye, and stick them down.

11) Stamp a coordinating bonus image or greeting on the inside of the card, and also on an envelope.  Stamp your personalized signature stamp on the back of each card, and you're done!

Tips:

• Don't follow all my directions! Make this layout your own. Get creative. Adjust for your own style and your supplies. 
• Using the brayer to ink graduated color may take you a couple tries before you get the hang of it, but with a little experience it is soon easy.  
• You can make 6 cards using only the supplies in one paper pack, but you will have a fair amount of DSP left over.  Supplement with another sheet of card stock for 2 more card bases, and substitute smooth card stock for textured card stock.  To create the most cards possible, cut the DSP 2" wide only, instead of 2-1/16".  
• Don't forget the inside of the card and the envelope!  Stamp a matching image or a greeting.  Think of how your recipient will open the envelope and the card.  
• Post a picture of your creations and leave a link here in the comments section.  If you upload to a public site, such as SplitCoastStampers.com, please use the keyword PPSAS6.

Presto Patterns Paper Packs!

Presto Patterns Paper Packs are here!  

The new Presto Patterns designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Summer mini catalog is gorgeous.  When you first see the papers they are white-on-white and they don't look like much, but add a color... and Presto!  

The papers are made with a resist pattern, so anytime you add ink or another color (like the Smooch Spritz sprays), the paper absorbs the ink but the resist stays white.  This way you can have the amazing designs from the Presto Patterns designer series paper in whatever color scheme you want.  

Try this DSP with Smooch Spritz sprays, or sponge on the ink.  In these examples I used my brayer, which was a lot of fun.  In this month's PPSAS layout directions I will share my technique for creating graduated color using a brayer.  

Check out these examples!  Would you like to try this technique yourself?  Contact me and buy one of my Presto Patterns paper packs - they are only $5.00!

Super-Mini Scrapbooking as Jewelry

What does a scrapbooker wear as jewelry?  Tiny scrapbook pages of course!  Here I've created super-mini pages, which are still recognizable as scrapbook layouts, in my 1" x 1-1/4" Simply Adorned necklace pendant.    

Can you call these scrapbook pages if they don't contain any photographs?  I think you can.  The art of scrapbooking has evolved far enough so that a design can still be recognized as a scrapbook page, even without photographs.  To me, you can call a design a scrapbook page if it contains these elements: 

1) a layout design

2) one or more focal images

3) journaling

4) background paper or a background pattern

5) matting/layers

6) (optional) multiple textures - such as embossing, textured card stock, paper piercing, etc.

7) (optional) multiple materials - such as ribbon, rhinestones, twine, glitter, beads, etc.

The challenge with super-mini pages is, of course, to find images small enough to be proportional in a page which is only 1" x 1-1/4".  Thankfully, Stampin' Up! solved my problem with their new set "Itty Bitty Bits".  I also used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to make tiny circles and flowers.  

But there are more images you can use besides the one set.  I've successfully used tiny details found in larger stamps.  Look with new eyes at all your stamps.  Don't forget your Stampin' Around wheels!  Also consider cutting out small images from designer series paper, or even shrinking images using My Digital Studio.  

Making tiny scrapbook pages using materials intended for 12"x12" pages takes ingenuity, creativity, and inventiveness.  Give it a try!  You may find yourself with a whole new hobby.  And if you wear your new pages in a Simply Adorned necklace pendant, you'll find yourself with a whole new jewelry wardrobe too!
