April Club- Just Beachy

This post is a little late, but I thought you would like to see the fun projects we did for club in April. I featured the fun Just Beachy set from the mini catalog and showed them how to do the cracked Glass technique. I love this technique it looks so cool and is actually really easy to do.I got this fun idea from Kelly. You can check out her blog here: http://stampinparadise.blogspot.com. I changed it a bit.

I thought if you are really different than maybe you would be a different color. I don’t know if you noticed it but this fish is the only one in the set that goes the other way. Here is a close up of the cracked glass.

Here is the scrapbook page that I came up with using the card as my inspiration. I love how simple it is, but it has just a fun summer feel. We colored the fish with the watercolor wonder crayons and a aqua painter.

This is the second card that my card group made. I totally cased it from a blog, I tried to find it again so I could tell you who, but I couldn’t. I changed the saying in the center, but the rest is basically like hers. I thought it was a really cute card. The size is actually 5×5 go go in our 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelops. The fish are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch and then sponged with the pacific point.

We stamped Happy Birthday from the $10.00 and under page on the inside. Of course we used Whisper White craft in so that it would show up.

Since I had also just got the Matchbox die of course we had to try that out as well. Here is our fun projects using the match box die and the designer series paper from the mini catalog Walk in the Park.

Technique Tuesday 3-24-09

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.

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.

Freewheeling Friday 3-13-09

This was a fun card that I made for swaps last year. This card used all the fun in-colors from last year. I believe they were Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, and Soft Sky. This is a fun masking technique. I also used watercolor for the presents. The tag was done using glossy white paper. I stamped in VersaMark® and then embossed it. Then I used the brayer to roll color over the top of it. The back ground was just using a simple roller. I love using rollers for backgrounds because they are fast and easy.
