23 Triangles

 

Here are some cards from my Triple Threat class last week. We used my Cloisonne Triangle set of stamps. Although the there was a lot of cutting to do, the triangles are easy to cut out. Here's how to make the card you see at bottom center. Stamp and emboss one large triangle and one small triangle with copper embossing powder on a piece of black cardstock. Stamp one large triangle onto a piece of light olive green cardstock. Cut each triangle out leaving a small edge of black showing around each one. Glue the black triangle onto a piece of white cardstock. Position the light green triangle above the black triangle as shown and glue in place. Glue the small triangle to another area of the white cardstock. Cut out the large diamond comprised of the two triangles. Leave a little border of white around the diamond. Cut out the small triangle leaving a border of white. Glue the diamond shape to the front of a folded black card. Use some dimensional foam tape to attach the small triangle to the diamond as shown. I finished my card with small pearls of copper using a Viva-Decor Copper Pearl Pen. These pens in ten different colors will be available to purchase from my online catalog soon. Enjoy!

Blog Candy June 2010

 

Here's an array of cardstock based on my Origami Crane stamps. The heavy weight textured and embossed sheets were produced by the Club Scrap design team and me. I just got a shipment last week and I want to share some of it with you. To have a chance to win this collection just make a comment on this blog entry. After I receive 100 comments, I will choose three names at random and send them the goodies. Good luck!

Simple Stained Glass look

 

Here's a super simple way to get a stained glass look for your stamped images. You will need glossy white cardstock, permanent black ink, alcohol ink in two colors, alcohol blending solution and an ink applicator. I got all the ink products at Michael's Craft Store. For my card, I stamped the Cloisonne Fan three times using black ink. I squeezed a small amount of two colors of alcohol ink onto the applicator pad adding an equal amount of the blending solution between the two colors. I dabbed the colors onto the fans, cut them out and attached them to a glossy black card. It took me about five minutes to get a pretty spectacular look. Experiment and have fun!
