August 2015 card workshop

Here are the 3 cards we made for our August card workshop. It was a lot of fun, but I must admit - the first card was a lot of time to cut all the overlays out. But looking at the card - well worth it - don't you think :)

Tips:

Card #1:

• I used the Artbooking cartridge, overlay - punch out all the little cut outs from the overlay ... save the circles and stars!
•  Originally, the overlay was 12 x 12 and I sized it down to my card size
• For the color spots, I used various scraps of B & T papers - great way to use it up!
• Use either liquid glass or a glue pen to adhere the scraps on the back
• After cutting the overlay in half (you get enough for 2 cards out of each cut), adhere the color spots, then adhere 3-d spots. Make sure you have some in the middle as well
• Also put 3-d spots on your tag to make it even.

Hope these tips, helped - if you should have any questions, please contact me and I will be more than happy to answer them.

You can find any of these products on my website.

A real easy way to look for a product is to type either the product # or the name into the search box.

Card #2:

• After cutting my various strips I started by stamping my glacier strip in the middle using the "random" stamping method in the middle, going out to both sides.
• Stamp the sentiment
• Have two pieces of shimmer trim of equal length, dove tail them and adhere them to your sentiment piece
• Then adhere 3-d spots on the back
• Before you adhere any of the strips lay out your pieces the way you want them on your card, once you are happy the way it looks - go ahead and put it together. If you want to add more bling - go ahead! Make it your own!

Card #3:

• Stamp the sentiment
• Dovetail the sentiment piece
• Adhere shimmer trip to glacier cs
• Adhere sentiment piece, you may want to use 3-d dots for that
• Before you adhere this piece to the white cs, lay it down where you want it and stamp the three leaves, then adhere the sentiment piece, add bling
• Then layer your card and you are done!
