We also added a purse-size decorative covered notepad to use as a shopping or menu notepad.

Faux Silk Technique Video

From Heidi...

Our monthly class this month focuses on the Faux Silk technique and Take a Spin cards. We offered this class Tuesday, but we've got another class coming up next Tuesday, 2/22, at Tumbleweed Recreation Center (10 AM -314TW.231 ; 7 PM -315TW.231  ), so you can still get in on the fun!

This year we've started sharing technique videos that coincide with our monthly technique or project classes, which we thought would be helpful to those who come to our classes and anyone else, for that matter :-) We're also slowly aiming towards card and project kits, and felt like offering videos would be helpful to anyone who might purchase one of our kits.

This month's technique video shows the Faux Silk technique using the Elements of Style stamp set. I incorporated the Framed Tulips impression folder into this card, which makes the perfect frame for the Faux Silk image. Thanks for stopping by and visiting us!

Resizing the Framed Tulip Border Tutorial

From Heidi...

I am in love with the new Framed Tulip Border Impression folder...its embossed image is too cute! I keep finding myself using it on new cards I've created. Awhile back Sharon Field shared another way to use the Framed Tulip folder...I call it resizing, but it's simply embossing smaller sizes of cardstock. Since the Framed Tulip's was created for 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of cardstock, or basically a card front, this little resizing technique makes the Tulip folder a lot more versatile.

I made a bunch of tags using the resizing technique and it made for such cute tags. Several of our stamping friends have purchased the tulip folder, and so we wanted to create a video tutorial on how to use it besides just the obvious card front (which is beautiful!).



Thanks for watching the video and for visiting our blog! We hope that you have a wonderful week.

Reinker Butterfly Pansy Technique

We taught our Flower Embellishment class this past week and promised a video tutorial for the Reinker Pansies we made. We saw this technique shared last year on several other blogger's sites and couldn't wait to try out the technique for ourselves. This technique definitely creates a "Wow!" for any card or scrapbook page.



Thanks for visiting us...See you next time!
