These are simple to make and add a lot of interest to a card. Here's how to make them:<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Steps:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cut a scrap of paper into
a long triangle (the one in the picture is 3 ½” x 1”). .Depending on the size of
bead you want, this measurement is adjustable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Lay a wooden skewer on top
of the wide side of the cut paper triangle with the decorative side of the
paper down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Start rolling the paper tightly
onto the skewer between your finger and thumb.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">When you get to within a ½
inch of the end, dab some liquid glue on the paper and continue rolling until
the pointed part is firmly attached to the “bead”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Slide the bead off the
skewer and allow it to dry. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">If you are using the bead
as an accent as seen on my finished card, put a small drop of glue in one end
of the bead and insert a piece of thread. Let it dry before using.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Enjoy!</span></div>

<br />
Thank you for all the interest in joining a zoom version of my in person card classes.<br />
I'm calling these classes "You Deserve a Gold Star! in recognition of our shared experiences these past few months.<br />
So, here is how it will work:<br />
<br />
There are two classes on Saturday June 20. One in the AM from 10:30-12:30 and another session from 1:30-3:30 PM. I have room for 14 in each class.<br />
<br />
We will be making five different cards using my newest stamp set, Art Nouveau Stars. If you would like to add your name to the roster please email me at mike@strongstamps.com and let me know which session you would like to be a part of. I will <u>try</u> to accommodate those wishing to be in the same class together. I will mail you all the materials you will need for zoom class day. Please mail me a check for the cost of the class ($25.00). If you wish to purchase the new stamp set the cost is $25.00 plus $12.00 for a total of $37.00. That covers all postage and taxes. If you rather, you may pay with a credit or debit card through my special Paypal account just for this class. Here's the link https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/summary.<br />
<br />
After I receive your payment, I'll ship you the class materials. Please note that all cards with embossed images will be done for you. It will not be necessary to purchase the stamps to join the class. If you do not wish to join the zoom class, you may purchase the kits and or stamps also. The kits come with a picture of each of the finished cards for reference. For those joining the class, I will email you your access code and a list of supplies you will need before the class.<br />

<br />
The new stamp set is called (grandly) Art Nouveau Stars. It's one of those designs you can color, cut apart or emboss. There are two stamps in the set, one 4" and one 2 1/2"<br />
<br />
So, the first set of images you see are the alternative stamps, one plain and one colored This image will be a free digital download only. The second set of images is the rubber stamp design that will be available soon. I used Prismacolor pencils to fill in the intricate sections. The plain (alternate) one is part of the participatory fun. If you want to play along, print the image out and color it any way you want using any medium you like.<br />
<br />
When you have finished it, send it to me at my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/michael.strong.5070. When you do, everybody will see your beautiful work and you will be automatically eligible for a prize of the new stamp set plus a whole bunch of other cool stuff!<br />
<br />
Have fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
Materials:<br />
(For mine I used 6 1/2" X 9 1/2" envelopes, sometimes called catalog envelopes)<br />
6 envelopes (5 for the folio and 1 for a little pocket sleeve)<br />
1 sleeve (the sleeve is cut from the bottom of one of the envelopes to measure 6 1/2" x 2 1/4"<br />
20 pieces of decorative paper trimmed to fit each of the pages of the folio (for mine I used 20 sheets of paper cut from a 12 x 12 stack of Christmas scrapbooking paper to measure 6 1/4" x 4 1/2" each.<br />
2 pieces of decorative paper measuring 6" x 2" to cover the front and back of the sleeve.<br />
extra strength glue stick or similar<br />
<br />
Steps:<br />
Lay the first envelopes on the work surface with the flap open.<br />
Apply glue to the flap of a second envelope (the glue goes on the top of the flap, not on the pre-glued underside)<br />
Lay the second envelope on top of the first envelope and make sure it is aligned snugly top to bottom and side to side.<br />
Press down the first flap onto the glued flap of the second envelope and press firmly.<br />
Apply glue to the flap of the third envelope as before and align it on top of the second envelope as you did before.<br />
Press down firmly on all the flaps to seal.<br />
Repeat this procedure until all the envelopes have been glued together.<br />
<br />
Fold the second envelope in half so that the bottom of the envelope meets the front flap. Press to flatten the envelope so it becomes the first "page" of the folio. (see photo)<br />
Open the folded page to allow you to fold the next envelope in the same way.<br />
Continue opening each page and folding the next envelope until all pages are folded and flattened.<br />
Cover each page including the back with your precut decorative papers. (be sure to glue the decorative papers well especially at the 4 corners.<br />
Your basic folio is now complete!<br />
<br />
NOTE: You may add decorative photo mats, pockets or gift card holders to any page to personalize your folio as a gift. just remember if you are cutting an opening in an open-folded page, slip a cutting mat into the pocket FIRST so that you will only cut through one page. Have fun!<br />

In years past most of the designs remain digital images. A few have become rubber stamps. This is the year of the pig and I would like your opinion about this one.

This project is based on my Cloisonné Hexagon stamp which is available in the catalog. Have fun!<br />

Steps<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Print out the Hexagon template provided. Print on two different
colors of cardstock.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(there are 3 different sized box sets on the template).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Choose the size you want and cut out one of each color
plus a box topper (see picture)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Cut out each box around the perimeter and cut out the
topper.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Cut thru each of the two colored Hexagons between the 6 trapezoid
shapes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stop cutting when you reach the
center Hexagon (see picture with arrow indicating where to stop cutting)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This is the most important step:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Crease each of the six trapezoid shapes on the LID
(yellow) where indicated in the picture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Crease each of the six trapezoid shapes on the BOX BOTTOM
(green) where indicated in the picture.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Note: This will make the top (yellow) bigger in
circumference than the bottom (green) and allow the top to fit snugly over the
bottom of the box.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
To make the box top, apply glue to all the heart shaped
triangles as shown in the picture. Lay the adjacent section on top of the glued
triangle and press it into place making sure to align it as shown in the
picture. Do the same with the bottom of the box. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Note: if you need to, snip off any little pieces that
protrude over the rim of each box.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Glue the star topper to the lid of the box and apply a
jewel to the center of the star.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Put the lid on the box (it will be snug)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Note: the three sizes of boxes will nest together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
ENJOY!<o:p></o:p></div>

I'll be using a new cut-apart stamp called Triple Trapezoid. You can make dozens of different geometric designs using this simple shape. The stamp will be available for you to purchase soon.
