Bouncing Brayer

Give Dad a card that will BOUNCE OUT at him.

Being that Dad's day is just around the corner I thought that I would put another idea out there for all of you.   This is a card that we made at a Technique Thursday club that I have.  If you would like to learn more about the Technique Thursday club Click Here.  This technique is called the Bouncing Brayer technique.  LOVE IT!  It gives such a WOW to your card.  In my card I used Brilliant Blue Cardstock and Classic Ink, WhiteWhisper, Glossy White & Basic Black cardstock with Stazon Black Ink.  For the stamped images I used All Holidays, Itty Bitty Backgrounds & Itty Bitty Bits sets. To do the Bouncing Brayer you ink your brayer up really good and then bounce it on your Glossy cardstock going in a circle with one end always in the middle of your cardstock.  You are going to bounce the brayer.  (Do Not roll)  Or you could say touch it to the cardstock and then lift it up and down.  Hope that makes sense.  It is such an easy technique, but it gives you such a GREAT look!

Punched Lion

Isn't he adorable!!

I did a punch camp a few months ago and this was one of the cards that we did.  I was requested to post it on my blog.  The Stampin' Up! punches that I used were:  Scallop Circle, Small Oval, Word Window, Trio Flower, 1/4" Circle, 1/2" Circle, 1" Circle, 1 3/8" Circle & 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

On the Scallop Circle you just cut out a notch in each Scallop to get the mane.  His body is made up of the 1 3/4" & 1 3/8" Circles.  The ears are the Word Window punch cut in half with a 1/4" circle glued to that.  Feet are made of the Small Oval cut in half.

I hope you ENJOY making this CUTE Loin as much as we did.

Faux Silk Technique

This is a really easy and elegant Technique.

I did this technique at my last Technique Thursday club.  All my club members really liked this technique.  I have to give a Thank you to one of my fellow demonstrators for this technique and the card design.  Thank you so much Laurie Zoellmer!  To make this wonderful and easy card, the directions are as follows:

1.  Stamp image on tissue paper and allow to dry.  Make sure you put paper under your tissue paper, the ink will bleed through.

2.  Crinkle up the tissue paper and then smooth out.  (But not all the wrinkles)

3.  Apply Glue (using the Glue Stick) over the entire piece of neutral cardstock.

4.  Put tissue on glued cardstock and smooth out most of the wrinkles.

5.  Trim excess tissue off or fold over and adhere to back of cardstock.

Close up shot.

How easy is that!!  You are going to LOVE this technique.  If you want to learn more techniques like this check out my Technique Thursday club.
