Yeah... It's More Cards

Posted by Amazing People, on 5:47 AM
Here is another bunch of cards that I made for Stampeddler as samples to show various paper or stamps. The first one was another Kaiser card but it made from left over paper I had from another project and I wanted to show the stamp. (It is the center panel.) 


 These 2 cards are using Anna Griffith paper and a couple of new stamps that are at the store. 



 These next 2 cards were using some stamps that looked more steampunk to me so of course I had to do something with that theme.



 This set of cards was using another set of Kaiser paper, Kaiser stamps and some Penny Black stamps.






These 2 cards are using Indigo Blue paper and stamps. 




 I forget what paper this was but the cute flower stamps are from Kaiser again. 



This was using a big background stamp from Impression Obsession and clear stamp set from Bo Bunny. (Can't remember what paper on this one either.) 



 This is a large stamp from Stampendous that comes with a cool stencil to use with it. You can do some cool things with masking or stenciling.


This card was mostly to show the paper but it also has a lot of stamped backgrounds. 

Another couple of cards using Kaiser stamps. 


This one was using Basic Greys chipboard pieces and paper. How easy is it to do this one? (About half an hour.)

Kaiser Cards And More Kaiser Cards

Posted by Amazing People, on 6:40 AM
Yes I have been very busy making all kinds of sample cards for Stampeddler. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to post them on my blog... until today that is.

All of the cards shown here are made from Kaiser Craft paper and this first set of cards are all made with a set called Lulu and Roy. It's basically using the small 6.5" pad of paper and solid color card stock. It will eventually be a class but I am not sure which cards will end up being in the class. Whatever is not used for the class will end up as samples in the Kaiser Korner of the store.




Closed

Open




This is a tag pull out card and you can see it lays flat when it is closed. To open it you simply pull on the tags ribbon and it slides open to reveal the secret message. (It also opens like a regular card so you can include another message inside.)





These cards are made from the set of paper called Secret Admirer and the first 3 are made using the same 2 stamps. I wanted to do the Somerset Magazine approach that they do for the article "With One Stamp".  The fourth one I did because I liked the paper with the owl on it and just had to use it. The stamped image is actually the white flourish in the upper corner. (It is stamped with clear ink and then embossed with opaque white powder.) The sentiment is also stamped but other then that it is a very simple card to make. 






These 2 cards are from the Periwinkle collection and will also be part of a Kaiser card class. 



There are many more cards for me to post as well as a few other projects but I will save that for another day since this post is already very long. Have a Happy Easter everyone!

I'm Back.....

Posted by Amazing People, on 5:43 AM
Yes... I did disappear for a while but now I am back. I am so used to taking the month of December off from when I worked in the scrapbooking industry that it is still a time of hibernation for me. Sooooooo... now what do I do. Well it seems that my blog is mostly a place for people to download free images and that is OK but it is not what I originally set up this blog for. The reason I did share all those images was because my art group that I run on Yahoo wanted access to them and there was not a large enough file space to provide all of them on Yahoo. (You can imagine how many I have as it has taken 4 years to post them all.) Actually I haven't posted all of them yet but I would like to get back to doing more of what this blog was originally started for and that was to share my art. I think that the free downloads will be once or twice a week now.

Without further ado here is some of the art that I have created and just never posted because I just plain forgot.

This page is something that I will be teaching how to do at Stampeddler in Northville, MI. and it is based on the fabulous collages that Anna Dabrowska does. (Otherwise known as Finnibair.) She is a wonderful mixed media artist/teacher from Poland that does these grungy/shabby chic collages. (Click here to check out her blog.)

The page is done in almost all white and cream tones and the magic happens when it is sprayed with a colored mica spray. (I like the ones from Lindy's Stamp Gang.) It is all about piling on the found objects and other assorted embellishments around a central photo.


Here is a class sample from the same class but making cards instead of a scrapbook page. You can see the before is all very monotone in color, which is very pretty but after it is sprayed I think it is even better.

Christmas Card Inspirations

Click on the picture to see a larger view.












Sadly this year I did not make any Christmas cards to send out to family and friends like I usually do. (I traditionally send about 40 to 50 hand-made cards.) The reason was because I made them all for the Stampeddler which is a local store that I teach at. (And because I have been busy trying to get the back 2 bedrooms and bathroom renovated in time for Christmas.) Enjoy!
