Faux Stained Glass Window

Posted on May 22, 2010 | 3 comments

I teased about another idea with the Flourishes stamp set, and here it is. I don’t think of myself as a stamper so much as a paper crafter, so my brain goes beyond the stamp and color it in phase. I went in the ‘what kind of color would mimic stained glass’ and took it from there. I posted the full instructions on the Spellbinders™ Blog.

Start with ink and photo paper.

Add colors of ink, one at a time, starting light and going darker:

Create as many as you need:

Stamp the image:

Use SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™’s Adhesive Sheets to apply adhesive to the colored panels, this will turn them into stickers so we don’t have to worry about tiny scraps of paper and adhesive.

Stamp image again onto white cardstock, and heat emboss:

With scissors, start to hand cut the individual images from the colored papers. Cut inside the lines, adhere so the embossed lines are visible.

Keep cutting! I cut the blue pieces from several images to vary the color, to closer resemble stained glass. Cut then put in place, otherwise its a very difficult puzzle to put together. Trust me!

Next, make the card. I cut an opening in the card front with Labels Eleven #5, the fifth largest die tempate.

Then I made a frame to go on the front and a mat for the image, all in the same pass through the Wizard. (Gotta love those Nestabilities®!)

Add a sentiment in a Double Ended Tag:

And another Labels Eleven as a blue mat for the inside:

Sure the blue parts were tedious, and to make this easier I suggest using patterned paper and/or a less intricate stamp.

Here is my supply list: Spellbinders Wizard, S4-246 Labels Eleven; S3-149 Double Ended Tags; Flourishes, Beauty Within Stamps; Clearsnap, ColorBox Black, Blue Queue, Green Queue Pigment Inks, Pink Queue Fluid Chalk Inks; Sparkle N Sprinkle, Ebony Spark Embossing Powder; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L, Adhesives Sheets, E-Z Runner; Creative Impressions, Blue Brads; Worldwin, Black, Light Belguim Blue Cardstock, Aspire Silver Ore Linen Cover; Photo paper

Have a great day!

Life’s a Beach

Posted on May 8, 2010 | 2 comments

Or not so much, if you look at the thermometer, it’s rather chilly this weekend. I actually have a card I put together as a thank you.

The background took all of 30 seconds and a few Copic Markers. The bottom is E37, to look like sand along a beach. Then I airbrushed layers of blues, starting with the lightest, B21 and layered horizontally increasing the colors, B23, B26, B29.

The palm tree is a retired Spellbinders™ die template. I cut the trunk from thin balsa wood, trimmed it with scissors so I just had the trunk, then used E37 to color through like a stencil. The leaves and grass are Core’dinations paper, cut/embossed and sanded. I used SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ 3D Foam Squares (I cut the smaller sizes in half while still on the backing) to fit on the back side of the trunk.

For the Labels, I stamped the Thank You, then lined up a Classic Oval to cut/emboss, then airbrushed B24 while the paper was still in the die template, so I had the while border. Then I did the same with the Labels Six, but airbrushed with B21 and used the 3D Foam Squares to elevate the Thank You die cut.

I added some sprigs of grass with G07. I should have made several of these, it was super quick and fun!
