Ippity Release Day

Two more fabulous Ippity sets are being released today!!

Aren't they great!!! Click here to get them on their way to your house along with some FREE 6x6 paper and FREE handmade fabric flowers!! :)  My prices are the lowest Ippity allows A great deal for the best quality stamps around!!!

I played with Warm Wishes!! I just love pretty snowflakes!!

I also have a card to share that I made for the Paper a la Mode challenge at The Outlawz. 

This card uses Ippity set Thanks for All Things.  The challenge was to make a Thanksgiving card and a technique.  My technique was to use glimmer glaze and to make a paper bow.  I cut out my leaves and then bent and creased in a way to replicate the veins of a leaf - then I painted on the glimmer glaze and allowed it to pool in the creases.  I also added the glimmer glaze to the paper bow.  This card is one of my favorites that I have made in quite a while!!  I wish the photo showed the shimmer and fabulous texture!!

I also HAVE to share one more photo that really makes me smile!!

3-D SHAPE TUTORIAL - by Outlawz DT member Theresa
This is a short pictorial that illustrates how to make 3-dimensional shapes for paper crafts.
In this case, we are making a heart shape, but the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. You could use bells, ovals, circles, triangles, diamonds, squares, etc.
Materials:
• Paper(s) of your choice
• Cutting tool for shape – can be a punch, a die, an electronic cutting machine, or even precut shapes that you purchased
• Bone folder (or some tool to crease your folds)
• Glue of your choice (I am using a liquid type of glue, but you can use anything that sticks)
In this first photo, I have precut my heart shapes using the punch in the picture. I have 7 hearts punched, but you can use more or less shapes depending on how full you want your design to be.
Next, we need to fold each heart in half with the “mirror” sides facing each other as shown in the following photo. In my example, I am using all the shapes of a single color, but you can use two different colors and alternate them for some added interest.

And here you see all of the shapes folded. Baby came along to help make sure I was doing everything just right – I think she might have been questioning my choice of adhesive, but as I said earlier, you can use whatever you have on hand that sticks.

The next step is to start adhering the shapes together.
In this case, you want to adhere one “petal” or “side” of each shape to a matching side of the next cutout. See the photo below for the first two shapes glued together.

And here is the finished heart with all 7 of the shapes glued together. The more accurate you are with your folding and gluing, the better the shape will look. As you can see if you look closely, I was off a bit on my gluing, so you can see a few of the white edges from the backsides of the paper, since this was not a double-sided paper. You can finish the edges with some Stickles or glitter to add some more flair and cover up those edges if you like.

And this final photo is where I used the shape to make a card.

One nice thing about these 3D shapes is that they fold flat if you put them in an envelope. You can also use this same heart shape as a hot air balloon or a flower, which I did recently on a layout I made for my daughter’s graduation. Again, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

This is another gorgeous 3D project by Theresa.
Anne another of my team members from The Outlawz made this beautiful 3D project
and this gorgeous Easel card using Ippity set Straight from the Heart
My 3D card uses a Spellbinders Die to cut the butterfly and Ippity set All Things are Possible

Happy Sunny Monday

I have been so bad about adding my projects to my blog lately!!  Time has been short when it comes to crafting but I just don't want to cut it out altogether so I have adopted a more simple style lately!!  I have two projects to share from two challenges going on now!!  The first is for the Ippity Challenge to use twine, ribbon, string, etc. that started yesterday.

I have been making lots of 81/2 x 11 notebooks but I thought it would be fun to do a few little 3x5 notebooks that would be great to keep in a purse.  I used My Minds Eye paper and the Ippity set All Things are Possible.  (this is a must have set!! and I have it in stock!)

The second project is for the Paper A La Mode challenge at The Outlawz.  It is a sketch this time and I made this layout using Basic Grey Out of Print papers and adorable fabric flowers! Stamp is Unity.

If you are not a member of The Outlawz yet - now is a great time to join!! We are busy planning a HUGE 1000 member party with games, challenges, a blog hop, and AMAZING Prizes!!! 

Have a great Monday :)
