What's Up Wednesday! 3/24/2010

Check out these "Glass" Flower's!!

As many of you know from my mini's and video's, I'm loving punched flowers these days! I was playing around the flowers and UTEE in my melting pot and "glass" flowers were born.


To make these you will need punched flowers in a couple of sizes and/or shapes, UTEE and a Melting Pot by Ranger, a non-stick matt, Glossy accents by Ranger and/or a heat gun, tweezers and some embossing ink.


Use embossing ink to coat the tips of your tweezers to reduce how much UTEE sticks to them.


Punch your flowers in the card stock or patterned paper of you choice


Shape the flowers by folding or curling petals


Dip each flower section separately in the melted UTEE. Be careful it's HOT!!


After the flower sections cool. Trim any excess UTEE. You can heat the flowers with your heat gun to "remove" and blemishes.


Layer flowers and glue with Glossy Accents.


Alternately, you can layer and heat with the heat tool to meld the sections together.


Add bling and stickles to flower centers


Here I made a rose using the Tim Holtz method. I dipped each section before assembling the layers.


These flowers can be used on scrapbook layouts, Mini books, Photo Frames, Easter Baskets or other altered items.




Have fun playing with these and have an awesome week!

What's Up Wednesday! March 17, 2010

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's also What's Up Wednesday!!

Have a super easy mini album page for you to make!


It uses a half sheet of 12" x 12" for each page. This can be solid card stock or patterned paper.

Cut paper to 6" x 12". Score 1/2" on each side and at 6" across the width.


Trim away 1/2" from each side as shown.


Fold on score lines.


For a binding flange, cut a 2" x 4" piece of card stock. Score, fold, and adhere in half. Punch holes for rings or Bind-It-All.


Insert binding Flange in between layers of pouch. Use your favorite adhesive to create a "pouch" page. Cut a semi circle finger pull at top edge with a punch.


Add patterned paper and embellishments.



Have an awesome week!!

At the beginning , as people are logging in, things get a bit choppy! I won't start the actual class for a few minutes to let things even out. I will be recording the show for those of you who can't attend.
You will need to log in if you want to participate in the chat, but you don't need to log in just to watch.

See you there!!!

Ustream Recordings

Several of you have contacted me about not being able to view the recordings of my past shows on Ustream. I have found out that Ustream is having a "known issue regarding playback of recorded videos" and they are working to resolve the "issue". I will be recording this Saturday's class, so hopefully they will have it resolved by then.
Also, if you have a denim cover for your Strike a Pose Kit (the Blue awning ones) you will NOT need to paint them. They will be applied the same way, just not painted.
Looking forward to Saturday!
