Iris Folding with Stampin' Up

Over the past few months I've had the opportunity to join a group of ladies at one of our local churchs for scrapbooking Wednesday evenings. One of the ladies brought in some Iris Folding templates to share with a few of us. Once I realized how easy this new craft is, I was hooked, I came home and looked up free templates online. Using some papers from a Stampin' Up! patterned paper packs here is what I created.

The spiral portion in the middle is the actual Iris folding. Other techniques I used on this card are:
-The flowers were punched with the Stampin' Up! 5 Petal Flower punch and the Boho Blossoms punch out of "Coffee Filters" inked with Stampin' Up! ink refills/water mix. Then I adorned them with Basic Pearls.
-I frayed a piece of grosgrain ribbon to make a pretty tassle for the edge of the card and added a button to tie it with.
-Gel Pen sticking was added to finish the card.

 I will be offering a class on Iris Folding

Elements of Styles

The Elements of Styles stamp set has been on my wish list for a full year. Last month I finally received it. This stamp set is very versatile as it can be used for any feminine card you would want to make, a simple change of greeting and Voila!

This one was done using the Wisteria cardstock, ink and baker's twine on Whisper White cardstock.

These two used all the 2011-2012 in-colours  Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Wisterial Wonder, Lucky Limeade and Island Ingigo, adding Clear Embossing powder made for a simple soft background.

The little Humming Bird is priceless and quite easy to cut out if you wanted to superimpose him with dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by.

Retirement Card (Broken Porcelain Technique)

So many projects so little time. Since I haven't posted in a few months there will be many posts put in all at once. I do apologize but I am sufforing with the "I can't seem to get myself organized blues" also known as "Cabin Fever" I do believe.  Although we haven't had a bad winter it seems like it's been a long one. So here goes. Over the past few months I've held several private classes as well as hosted a few techniques classes. The next few posts will highlight some of my creations.

For that special someone who is retiring in this area, this would be wonderful image to set their minds on.

The image looks like a broken porcelain plate.

I will be giving a class on this technique on April 28th,  2012 at 9:00 am cost $10.00, we will learn the technique and built a take away tool to achieve the "Broken Porcelain" look, if you are interested please give me a call 902-758-1479 or email me.

For this class and all future classes, I would ask you to bring the following:

Glue Dots

Dimensionals

Double sided tape

Snail adhesive

Glue Pen

Bone Folder

Scissors

Paper Trimmer

(If you don't have some of the supplies I do have them available for an additional cost)

and most important if you have some, the rubber left over from any stamps you have purchased. Yes, that square piece of rubber with the cut out shapes where you removed the stamps. If you discarded yours that's ok I have lots.

Here's another example
