January Technique Class



Well here are the other two cards from my technique class this month. This first card was a bit involved. I got this template last year from "Lets Party Hearty" and thought this would be a good one to work on. There are instructions that come with the template and they also have a video on their site. Glad I looked at the video, because there were pointers on it that weren't mentioned in the instructions and it really helped to put it together. So my suggestion is if you want to make this card, check out their site. I also used these metal sheets to make the butterfly on this card. I got the metal sheets from Marco papers, but it's made by Ten Seconds Studio. They have some really neat stuff and great tutorials, you have to also check out their site! This next card, I got the idea from Technique Junkie. It's called Medallion Window technique. It's really easy to do. You stamp your "medallion" on your cardfront, open the card and cut out your "window" from the medallion and add layers to the inside of the card. The first layer is adhered directly to the inside of the card and the additional layers you use dimensionals. I colored in the "white" parts on the card front. You can use anything you want to color in your image. I then used Certainly Celery, Brocade Blue, and Gold Metallic cardstock, all from Stampin' Up! I layered the card on a piece of Brocade Blue as a base. The piece of Brocade blue in the center was stamped with the new Vintage Labels from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. So this was a FREE stamp set! And now they come so you can use them with acrylic blocks! I'm really lovin' this card, hope you do too. See you soon. Cyndy
