Hidy Ho Stampers,
Well I'm back from Fiji and boy do I have "jet lag"! Getting ready for my Continuing Education class tonight (hope I don't fall asleep on the way there)! It's always so much fun teaching people in the community how to stamp, I'd hate to miss any of it while I was snoozing – wonder if I'd wake up with stamps all over me!?!. :0)
Didn't I tell it was gorgeous. This is from our hotel overlooking the pool and the ocean!
Heaven!
Okay back to some fun stuff. We did a quilt card in one of my clubs this month. So much fun. This was taught to me many years ago by my good friend Jennifer Thomas! She is an amazing stamper and I've learned so much from her.
so how is it done?
First I used a set that is retiring (Spring Sampler #125512 clear mount or #125510 wood mount) and a new set called A Round Array (#129090 clear mount or #129087 wood mount).
Cardstock needed:
Turquoise one 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
whisper White 4 x 10 1/2
Lucky Limeade 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Scrap piece 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
1/2" strips of Designer Series Paper (I used Sunshine and Sprinkles from the 2013 Spring Catalog)
The card:
Stamp the tulip from the the Spring Sampler set using our Stampin' Up! markers, then punch out with our 1" square punch – MAKE SURE YOU STAMP IT POSITIONED AS A DIAMOND. Punch a square from Tempting Turquoise using our 1/1/4" punch and pop these two together. Now adhere this piece to the CENTER of your 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" scrap (this should be positioned as a diamond onto the larger square).
*Start gluing your strip closest to the turquoise square. Continuing gluing so that you go all the way around the square. Trim off what hangs over the scrap piece.
Your project should look like this at this point:
*Then switch to another design of your 1/2" DSP (you can just flip the double sided paper over) and repeat the process above. Continue this until you have your entire 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" square complete. (Your 3 1/4 x 3 1/4" square will now be completely covered with Designer Series Paper).
Add this to your 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Lucky Limeade square. Next attach that to your Whisper White card (folded in half) and attach that to the Tempting Turquoise base. Finish with your A Round Array piece that was stamped and punched with the 3/4" circle punch and backed with a Lucky Limeade 7/8" Scallop. Tie a ribbon and you have your little medallion.
I hope you missed me while I was gone! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop by. Remember to follow me:
