Facebook Live! with Floating Frame Technique

 

Happy Live! Day!!


Today I demoed a technique called Floating Frame.

It's fabulous!!

 

I completely CASE'd my friend Tamara Bertram's card and then showed several other examples of the technique at the end.


With those examples, I wanted to show that you could be creative with your basic "frame" shape, your choice of "designer paper", and I also forgot to mention you can change the width of your strips.

 

Watch til the end for a tip on how you can more easily complete multiples. :)



My Live! winners from last week were Marcia Hill and Marlene VanderZouwen! Congrats M & M!! ;)

Soft Seedlings Swap

 

Hey peeps!

 

Our Mini Catalog is Live! and Sale-a-Bration is happening!

 

Ok, I just can't help it. I have a goofy sense of humor, and that immediately made me think of this silly 30 second  commercial...."Iiiit's haappeniiiing!" hahaha!

 

I've been participating in swaps but sort of wanted to stick with "Fall" for now.

 

Here's the first swap I did with the Mini.

 

 

Soft Seedlings, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

I used a Baby Wipes Technique to make my own "ink pad" for the leaf/seedling.

 

I love that technique!!

 

Here's product info:

(click any product pic to order!)

Split Card Textures Dies
$28.00
non-orderable,
expected week of 7/11

 

 

TIP: I just used a strip of Adhesive Sheet on the top and right edges of the Basic White before running it through the Big Boss, so I didn't have to try putting adhesive on the tiny little edges. :)

 

 

Have an amazing day!!

Sending Smiles + a Recipe!

 

Happy Tuesday!!

 

Stampin' Up! announced exciting news for our company today!

 

By the end of the year, they will be opening markets in Belgium and Ireland!

 

So cool.

It honestly doesn't affect me or my customers or team much.

But it's exciting that Stampin' Up! is doing well and continuing to grow! :)

 

Stampin' Up! is a wonderful company to represent.

 


 

I have a card to share with you that my team member, Nadine Stolt, designed and shared as a make-n-take at our last team meeting.

 

She made me NEED these dies. ;)

(Like I say, I guess she did her job, right?)

 

Sending Smiles, created by Nadine Stolt, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

UNFORTUNATELY, these Split Card Textures Dies are non-orderable for supposedly around 3 weeks. :/

 

But I still loved the card and wanted to share it with you.

 

I made another version with the new In Color Orchid Oasis.

Ok, one more thing today!

 

Rice Crispie Treats have become a staple at my Hostess Appreciation Party and now my Retreats.

 

And they're so awesome, if I do say so myself!

I learned long ago that there's a WAY to make them so they turn out perfectly. :)

 

And I was supposed to share this recipe with one of my Retreat attendees, so I thought I'd share with you.

SQUARES

 

Did you watch my Live! yesterday?

I was in the mood for squares--as you can see by my closeups.

 

Well, this set All Squared Away/this card we made at one of my recent classes and the blends/alcohol card we made at my team meeting put me in that mood!

 

How fun and simple is this card?

 

All Squared Away bundle, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

The [yellow] waves in the middle that looks like DSP?

It's a stamp!

So fun!

I need to play with this bundle more!

 

TIP:

For the wave of ribbon, I put a few strips of adhesive in the middle (behind where I wanted to attach my stamped layer) and I just zig-zagged my ribbon across the adhesive when I put it down. Then I attached my stamped layer with Dimensionals.

 

 

Here's what we used:

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Have an exceptional day!!

ENJOY this amazing weather!!

The Blends + Alcohol Technique

 

Happy Tuesday!

 

I hope you had a great weekend!

 

We had some fun, AND we got some work done.

I cleaned my fridge. UGH.

It needed it badly.

 

Here's the thing with me and cleaning....

I can't stand it.

But I also can stand it dirty!!

Such a dilemma.

(And my fridge looks amazing now.)

 

Ok on to my samples!

 

I meant to post them last week, and sometimes blogging gets away from me. :/

 

 

First, here's my closeup from my Live!

Hey Birthday Chick, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

This technique is SO COOL.

You can use it when you wanna leave words out of a greeting stamp or you want specific colors on a stamp BEFORE stamping it.
 

 

 



 

Remember--WEDNESDAY'S Live! is a "stamp with me" day!

My 4 Basics of a Masculine Card

 

I have BASICS I keep in mind for the seemingly difficult task of designing a masculine card.

 

Since I had a fun class with Geared Up Garage this week, I'll show you those ideas first.

 

 

From simple to a little more involved....

 

Geared Up Garage, Rooted in Nature, , www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

Geared Up Garage bundle, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

Geared Up Garage bundle, www.dazzledbystamping.com

 

 

NOW, as you read my "basics" of a Masculine Card, see if you can find some of them on the cards I just showed you above.

 

(When you design, you don't have to take ALL these steps to make your card masculine. Pick and choose what you like or have available. Remember, sometimes less is more!)

 

My 4 Basics of a Masculine Card

  1. STAMP SET--Even if you don't have a set that is specifically masculine, one that involves nature or graphics (shapes, lines or textured background type stamps) works great!
  2. COLOR IS EVERYTHING! If you're unsure of a color to choose and don't just want "BLUE", go for anything that is a deep or neutral color. Some of my go to's are Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Night of Navy, Basic Gray--or ANY gray, Crumb Cake--or ANY brown. You could even use Blackberry Bliss with the right stamps/design.
  3. METALLICS!! I ALWAYS LOVE a masculine card with some kind of metal--whether it's foil sheets like on my last card or brads or a metal buttons or embellishment. Metallic goes a long way towards a good masculine look.
  4. TEXTURE--Choose something simple like stripes or corrugated folders or EVEN just crumple up your cardstock after you do your stamping and flatten it back out again. Rough it up! (Unless you count the gears die cut piece on my last card, I didn't really use this "basic" on any of my cards above. As I said, you don't have to use ALL the ideas. But maybe that's the one that will work for YOU!)

 

 

 

I hope that helped you with any last minute ideas you may need!
