July 2015 Ustream Re-Cap

3

WOW - what a fun class. I know I keep saying that, but we had a full house with lots of new faces tonight.  So it was fun meeting you, and I hope you had a great time. Look at all these fantastic prints that we pulled tonight.  We had enough time to create 2 cards, but we pulled a dozen or so prints.

I also showed you guys how  simple it was to give some interesting color patterns to your die-cuts, while making interesting patterns for your backgrounds. 

I think this was one of my favorite prints.  I didn't have time in tonight's show to make anything with this, but check back each week this month, and I will create cards from all of these prints and the colored die-cuts from tonight's show.  

Here is the recording in case you didn't make it to the show live. 

Thank you to everyone who came to watch the show live. I had a great time tonight. I can't wait to start making cards for you this month. Don't forget to check back!  Our next Ustream will be August 3, 2015 at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Grandparents Mixed Media Layout

1

Hi everyone, today I have a super Shabby Chic layout to share with you using Die-namites Sketch & Dare Challenge for July 2015.  I'm also using lots of Prima goodness in this layout as well.

Here is a glimpse at this month's sketch. The Dare was to doodle on your project.   I chose the Large Ivy Die and the Flowering Branch die for today's layout.

I cut the large ivy die 4 times from thin chipboard. Then I glued two of the chipboard pieces together, to make a chipboard accent which is a super popular trend at the moment. This gave me two chipboard accent pieces to use on my layout. 

I then used the negative pieces from the die-cut with the Prima Textural White Crackle Paste to create a second look on my layout.  Then I used the Prima Chalk - Pastel Green to bring out the crackle in the stenciling work.  

Here is a process video showing how I created the layout.

For Details on how you can enter the challenge, please visit the Die-namites' Blog here.  You have until July 31 to link up your post, and be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to Die-namites Dies. 

Thanks for stopping in today,
Tonya
