Bee Film Strip Card

My friend Heather made this card for a leadership swap.

I love how simple it is. Plus it uses one of my favorite stamp sets. I think the film strip idea is so fun and could be used with a bunch of different stamp sets. It’s so easy to make with our great spiral punch. Try it today.

This is the swap that Brandi made for her meeting. I really love how she used heat and stick powder to make the flowers sparkle.

Heat and stick powder is really quite easy to use. If you have ever heat embossed than you know how to use heat and stick powder you just need to add two more steps.

First you need to stamp your image. If you are using the dazzling diamonds heat and stick like on this card then you would want to stamp with a craft ink pad so that it stays sticky.

Next you need to pour on the heat and stick powder just like you would embossing powder. Be sure to use the powder pals for easy clean up and to be able to put your left overs back in the bottle. Once you’ve covered your project shake off the excess and tap the back to make sure you have removed all the extra powder.

Now you are ready to heat the powder. Just heat it up with your heat gun. You will see it start to melt just like you do with the embossing powder.

Once you have melted the heat and stick powder you are ready for your glitter. Simply sprinkle the glitter over the heat and stick powder. Use a another powder pal for this.

After you have applied the glitter re-heat the image for a few seconds just to set the heat and stick powered.

That’s it your done. You’ve added a fun sparkle to your stamped image. I encourage you to give it a try today.

Marvelous Monday 3-23-09

When every we go to meetings we usually get to make fun projects and Brandi’s meeting was no exception. We made this fun Passion Frame.

It was really pretty easy to make. The back is made with our small on board book basics to give it plenty of structure. This would make a fun gift for a friend or neighbor. I used this layout idea for the front cover of my paper bag scrapbook. One of the things I love about this is how we tied the ribbon. We folded the ribbon in half then pushed the folded end through and pulled the ends through the loop we pushed through. Then we tied the loose ends together at the top. I like the nice finished look that it adds.

108362 Crop-A-Dile $29.95
109047 3/16″ Corner Rounder $6.95

Stampin’ Sunday 3-22-09

Our small group decided that we wanted to do a wow card swap in Hawaii. Of course I didn’t figure out my card until two-o-clock in the morning the night before I was leaving, but hey at least I figured it out. I actually finished making them on the plane ride from Maui to the Big Island.

Because it was a wow card I really wanted to use something fun. We have two new die that are available April 1st. They are pop up dies. The Cake Pop-up Die and the Ball Pop-Up Die. I pre-ordered the cake so I just had to try it out. It’s really fun beacuse it pops up out of the card when you open it. It is thick so you really need something to hold it closed. I decided to put a ribbon around it that slides off.

Here is the inside of the card. I should have decorated the cake a bit more. I think I’m going to add some pretty in pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon to the middle layer.

I will add a better picture with the ribbon around it.
