Sarah-AYSI-Challenge-031-Shades-of-Blue-Starburst-Sayings

Our As You See It Challenge for the week is a double challenge.  You must use shades of blue and try to finish your project in under 10 minutes!!!  It’s a fun one and I really encourage you to give it a try!  As inspiration, here’s a video of my process from start to finish (I did fast forward while I was at my Big Shot).


How To
1.  Cut Midnight Muse cardstock to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and score at 4-1/4″.  Cut Whisper White cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″.  Cut 2 pieces of each of Soft Sky and Marina Mist cardstock and 1 piece of Midnight Muse all to 3-3/4″ x 15/16″.

2.  Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the cardstock strips in an ombre pattern. *TIP:  Multipurpose Liquid Glue is essential when you want to have a minute or two to slide paper pieces exactly where you want them.

3.  Stamp this piece with the World Map background stamp in VersaMark ink.  Glue it onto the Midnight Muse cardstock.

4.  Stamp the sentiment from Starburst Sayings onto Whisper White cardstock with Midnight Muse ink.

5.  Cut the sentiment out with the matching Starburst Framelits Dies, using the Magnetic Platform to hold your framelit in place on your stamped sentiment.  Attach it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

10-Minute-Georgeous-Grunge-Tags-4-You-Halloween-Card

Hello!  Today I have a super easy, quick card!  🙂  I participated in the 10 Minute Craft Dash and interpreted their colors for the challenge as Stampin’ Up!’s Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, and Wild Wasabi!  I totally encourage anyone to play along with these challenges!  They are truly that, a challenge!!!  I LOVE that it forces me to make a quick and simple card, although I wish I had had more time to add some black rhinestones to this card.

I also filmed a video as I was making this card so you could see the somewhat crazy process!  🙂  I’m proud to say it took me 9 minutes 45 seconds!!!  Barely made it!  I’ll embed the video here as soon as it uploads to YouTube.  I also combined this challenge with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, although I did take a tad bit of creative license and put something in the upper left corner.  I also made the sketch into a regular card as I don’t make square cards, except once in a blue moon.

Today’s video is a long one as I ended up making the entire card on camera! I hope you enjoy it! I show a little bonus tip about how I add Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter to my projects as well. I’ll be back later today to edit this post with a full supply list, as well as a photo of the card I made in the video. I apologize that the video didn’t get posted until today – I didn’t notice (for a long time) that my YouTube upload had completely stalled out and I had to restart it! Sorry!

Hi stampers!  Today’s video really features 3 tools as I show how I make my card bases for all of my cards.  I also share a few helpful tips on mass producing, as well as the 2 main ways to cut your card stock for an A2 card.  Enjoy!!!

 

Hi stampers!  Today I’m bringing you a video where I’ve created a card from start to finish.  I will do this from time to time (not on a certain day every week like Quick Tip Tuesday) and I’m hoping you enjoy them!!!  I LOVE this card – it is not my original design but someone fabulous from the Stampin’ Up! Home Office as this was one of our Leadership Make and Takes this past January.  Lots of great products used here – including the Mixed Bunch Stamp set and Blossom Punch from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  REMEMBER:  The Occasions Mini Catalog ends on April 30, 2012!  Only 2 more days!  Also I should mention that the original card (you’ll see it at the beginning of the video on the handout we were given with our Make and Take supplies) had a sentiment on a little flagged piece that was tucked in behind the button.  Super cute!  I was just waiting to see what I’d want to use it for before adding that.

Also, I want to apologize because the video is a little strange.  Some of it had to be dubbed over because something went kaflooey with my audio on the video.  I also am sorry that I’ve been MIA this week.  My hubby and I got back from Florida earlier this week and got sick!  🙁  But I’m better now and planning to bring you lots of great stuff next week!!!
