Double Pull Tab Card...

 Here is the next card in my Special Folds class and my next video for you.  This card is actually pretty easy to make - you just have to remember to place the fold of the card at the bottom, not the top!

Here is what the card looks like when you pull up on the linen thread.  Super cool, huh?  Here is the video on how to make this card:

Craft Ink Resist Technique...

 

Hi Everyone!  I am back with a technique for Technique Tuesday.  This is a technique we did back in May at a technique class that I held.  What that means is that there may be some retired colors or stamp sets used but we have such wonderful products that you can substitute.  Let's get started....

 

 You will need the following items for this technique:

• White Craft Ink pad
• Whisper White cardstock
• Heat Gun
• Brayer
• Paper Towel
• Classic Ink Pad (I used Marina Mist)
• Stamp Set with a solid image (I used Flowering Flourishes

 



Stamp your image over the Whisper White cardstock using White Craft Ink.  Fortunately, we are still carrying the Black and White Craft Pads at the top of page 165.

 Using your heat gun, make sure that your ink is completely dry.

Here you can see where the inking is.  I yellowed the picture in Photoshop so you can see it better.

 Ink up your brayer.

 Roll over the Whisper White cardstock as many times as it takes to get a smooth inking all over.

 Here is what it will look like when you are done.

 Using a paper towel, rub over the areas that have the craft ink to remove the classic ink on top.

 Isn't it gorgeous how it turned out?  This picture was taken when it was still a bit wet so it is much darker than the end result.

 Here's the card that we made with this technique.

Here's what you will need to duplicate this card:

Technique Tuesday - Emerging Color Technique

It's Tuesday and here's your technique for today - Emerging Color technique.

 Here's what you will need:

• Coordinating Stamps - I used Circle Circus and Betsy's Blossoms
• VersaMark Ink
• Classic Inks - I used Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Regal Rose and Perfect Plum
• Clear Embossing Powder (shown here in plastic tub)
• Heat Gun
• Brayer
• Whisper White Cardstock

 Stamp images on your Whisper White cardstock using your lightest colors.

 Using VersaMark, stamp a solid image stamp (large blossom from Betsy's Blossoms) over your stamped images.

 Cover with clear embossing powder and emboss using your heat gun.

 Ink up your brayer using your darkest color and roll over your entire paper until it is completely covered.

 Take a lightly moistened tissue or paper towel and remove ink from your embossed areas.  Your earlier stamping will emerge from behind the clear embossed areas.

 Finally, I used a stamp from the Flowering Flourishes set and Elegant Eggplant ink to add a bit more design to the paper.

Here's the final card which I accented by using the Thank You stamp from Curly Cute and the Frames from the Holiday catalog.
