Fall Fox

 Howdy Crafters ~ I watched a Video By MARY ~ Cardz TV - to create this card.  I just love this Fox, which is my favorite print n cut image by Beccy.  I use Silhouette Studio and my Portrait to cut the Fox. All the Fall papers are by Recollections which I have had for several years.  

The sentiment stamp is by Cardz TV. I have used LF Rectangle Die, a banner die, and a 2 1/2 stitched circle die.Wood patterned cardstock. Foam tape is behind the Fox and the sentiment banner.   

You can follow Mary's video and see her card by clicking HERE.

Fall Deer

Howdy Crafters:

I learned a technique of using die cuts on paper napkin as the media from watching a video posted at the Memory Box Blog by Dave B.  

Actually, Dave used die cuts on white napkins and then colored the cuts with watercolors.

Leaf Print napkin-die cuts

I wanted to see how using die cuts on a printed paper napkin would work. I have some Leaf printed paper napkins so I gave it a try. Tada - the leaves came out great. [see photo]

Here is the link to Dave B Paper Napkin Die Cutting tutorial - Click HERE for tutorial.  Try it, you will be amazed at the results!

Waterfall Card

 Howdy Crafters - After I watched this Video by Karen B - CLICK HERE - I was inspired to create this Christmas~Winter Waterfall Card. I did not have the die set she is using - however, I did use her Spinner Square die set for my panels and frames -  I created my own pull tab.

I never thought of using staples rather than brads to connect the waterfall portion to the card - that was a cool idea!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed week! ~ Gail ~

~November Mod Squad ~

Howdy Crafters ~ I am happy to announce I will be the Host for Mod Squad Challenge for this week.
The Sponsor of this Challenge is Shery Russ from STAMPlorations. I just adore Shery's products - so I was thrilled to Host the November Challenge at Mod Squad this week.

The Challenge for this Week:  Case Shery Russ.  I just love this technique by Shery Russ which is basically,  use a large sentiment stamp in the middle of the card page, then stamp around that sentiment.  Just think of all of the possibilities of stamps one can use around a large sentiment stamp. Love, love this idea!!

This is Shery Russ [owner of STAMPlorations] card creation

I first saw this card at STAMPlorations 5th Anniversary Celebration

Here is my card casing Shery's technique

 Recipe

For the Center Stamp: STAMPLorations  Chance to Change Typographia Motivation

For the stamping around the Chance to Change Stamp I used:

STAMPLorations Art Marks Stamp Set

Inks used: My Misti for Stamping
 Distress Orange & Blue & Versafine Black ink

White Cardstock - size A2 card

I am happy you stopped by. 

Now it is your turn to give this technique a try.

You may upload 3 new creations made for this challenge following the technique.

 Additional Information about our sponsor 

SPONSOR~ Shery Russ

Our stamps and designs tend to be artsy, sketchy — they primarily reflect the kind of stamps I love to work with — stamps I can combine to create a variety of designs. They are also sized primarily for A2 (and smaller) cards and ATCs and have a graphic/mixed media feel. (I’m a mixed media girl who has fallen in love with card-making.) We release new stamps almost every month. In June 2014, we started releasing one 5″ by 7″ stamp set every other month and offering this set to our premium stamp club subscribers.

I would like to share this card with:

Decoupage Guest Towel Tutorial

Howdy Crafters ~ I have watched several tutorials this weekend on creating Decoupage Napkins for crafting.  One tutorial, use a glue stick, another use Mod Podge, and another was using sandwich plastic wrap with an ironing technique [which did not work for me].  

I first learned about Decoupage Napkins from Ellie-  A Bunk of Junk Design Team - in which I am a Design Team Member.

For me - the glue stick was the winner - but I added extra steps - using my DRY High Heat Iron.

I have Step by Step Photo's and written direction in this post if you wish to create some tags, pages, Journal covers, etc. for crafting using Decorative Paper Napkins. 

 I purchased Decorative napkins/Guest Towels at the Dollar Tree & Party Dollar Stores[ $1 - $1.50 for 12 or more in package].

This is my finished Decoupage Paper Guest Towel Tag
Stamping: TH Bee, Verve Sentiment
Misti - Versafine Black Ink

______________________________________________________

Here is my Paper Guest Towel/Napkin Tutorial

Supplies:

1.High Setting Dry Iron [make sure you have NO water in your iron]

2.Parchment Paper - 2 pieces

3. Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Stick

[I highly recommend using the purple-color glue stick to help you visually see the application of the glue]

4. Decorative Paper Napkin/Guest Towel - top layer only [you have to separate the top decorative layer from any other added layers - this Guest Towel had 3 layers - I purchased from Dollar Party 16 in package]

5. Cardstock - I used 110 lb I purchased from Sam's Club for this tag, but colors work great if they will show through - with this Guest Towel colors show through. I used blue, and pink so far.

6. Stamp[s] - Optional

7. Tag Die - Optional [you can fussy cut] - make large decoupage and use for journal covers, pages, card fronts.

8. Craft Scissors

This is the Decorative Guest Towel I am using - taken out of the package - 

then I separated the top layer from the other 2 layers

Here is the top layer of the Guest Towel separated & trimmed to the size I wanted

I decided to Iron my Paper Guest Towel first since it was wrinkled

 I have it laying on a piece of Parchment paper on my ironing board

Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the Guest Towel - now I have a sandwich - 

Parchment Paper - The Guest Towel - Parchment Paper

Using a High Setting DRY Iron - iron the sandwich to get wrinkles out of paper napkin

Note: I laid my Trimmed Guest Towel in the lower right corner of white cardstock first [no photo] and used a pencil to trace around it so I could see what area I needed to put my glue. 

This PHOTO above:  Showing how I covered the area with my glue stick -
 get the edges and also the inside area

I started from the bottom of the cardstock - to lay my Guest Towel over the glued area and gently smoothed it - being careful not to tear the Guest Towel - it worked well - no tears.

Do you see I have some portion of the Guest Towel at the top that I did not glue down? 

That is Okay to do that - and a bit of the Guest Towel hangs over the bottom edge as well. 

No rhyme nor reason for this - I just did it that way! he he

Off to the ironing board with this Guest Towel glued to the cardstock

I laid the cardstock on top of the Parchment Paper on my ironing board

Lay the next layer of parchment paper on top of the glued Guest Towel

So there are 3 layers - Parchment Paper, Cardstock with the glue Guest Towel, Parchment Paper
Same Sandwich that was used for ironing the paper Guest Towel before the gluing step.

Use a High Heat DRY Iron to iron your glued Guest Towel - it only takes a few seconds -

 I probably ironed over it 3 - 6 times

This Photo shows that I Fussy Cut around the Ironed Glued Guest Towel

It is now ready to use as a Journal Page, or Journal Insert - or cut some Tags!! 

See my next Photo for the tag prep I did before cutting

I laid the Decoupage completed Guest Towel on my Cuttlebug Plates
 and then positioned my Tag Die in the area I wanted the design to show

I then Trimmed the Napkin before running it through the Cuttlebug

Here it is: The Finished STITCHED Decoupage Tag die cut

Below is the tag I am entering in challenges. I used  Blue Cardstock as the background

Doesn't it look fabulous with a blue background as well?

I stamped on this one after die cutting - it works wonderfully!
Loving this decoupage technique!
More Photos:

Here are 2 Pumpkins I fussy cut from cardstock after using Heat and Bond scraps

to seal the Napkin first- this could be costly -
 I only had a couple scraps of Heat and Bond... these pumpkins turned out fabulous

More Decoupage I did and more to come:

I put tags in my Junk Journals, so these will be added

Love, Love doing this - Fun, Quick and EASY! We like EASY, YES??

Thanks for stopping by - have a blessed day 

[some day I hope to learn how to do video and place them on You Tube - it is on my Bucket List]
