Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. I will admit that the photo with today's blog post isn't the clearest. So I'm going to go right in with the video tutorial -
I hope you've now got a better idea of the waxed paper resist technique. So easy and you get two backgrounds for the price of one- bargain! I also hope you liked the ribbon rose - I learned this technique about a year ago and it's become one of my favourites.
With any luck, my photography skills will have improved by next time!
Today I’m
sharing a card that features a version of the Pop & Twist mechanism. This time it’s a novel way of presenting a
gift card.
I love
action/pop-up cards of all kinds, and the pop and twist mechanism is so
intriguing, especially the first time you come across it. The cards I’ve made in the past have opened
up to display panels that run across the card, but this time I’ve used the
mechanism to hold a gift card.
You
could, of course, write a message underneath where the card goes.
Here’s the tutorial
Do you want the
scoring diagram for the twist and pop piece?
Here it is.
Before you go –
don’t forget about the Bonus Days offer that
SU are running until the end of July.
For every £45 you spend in one order (before P & P), Stampin’ Up!
will email you a voucher code worth £4.50 that you can use in August 2017(take
care of your codes and don’t lose them!)
Even better, if you join SU as a demonstrator in July, you’ll get a
BONUS Essentials pack worth £47 – an extra benefit on top of the demonstrator
discount , early access to the Winter catalogue and other opportunities – see here
for more information.
Isn't it funny how things go in and out of fashion? A few years ago techniques using glossy card were everywhere. I'm so happy that glossy card is back in the SU catalogue, because it means I can revisit all those techniques.
I had hours of fun back in the day with the polished stone technique - dabbing alcohol inks onto glossy card. And then it sort of went out of style - we all moved on to something else. A shame, because it's one of those techniques that give a great result so easily.
Here's the tutorial -
This card also features another great product from the back of the SU catalogue - the multipurpose adhesive sheets. You'll be seeing me using them quite a bit, I promise! This is another one of the tutorials that I filmed over the weekend when the South Wales Air Show was happening, so I voice-over'd the commentary - otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to hear what I was saying over the noise of the aircraft flying by outside. I hope it's OK! So that's it for today. Thanks for visiting! See you soon, Crafty Hugs, Keren Product List
