Tutorial Thursday: Quick card with stamp, but no colouring!

Hi everyone!

DT Stephanie here with you today, and it's my turn to inspire you with a tutorial! Right now, my mind is all about quick, simple but elegant techniques and cards, so I figured it might be your case, too. Well, you'll be happy to use your favourite brand of stamps onto a card WITHOUT any colouring! The whole process takes few minutes and looks quite different!

So, here's what you'll need:

Scraps of papers

Your favourite La-La Land image (ideally without any fine details on the outside; you'll see why)

Sharp scissors and/or craft knife

Ink and mounting block

In this case, I used the cutie-cute Bumble Bee Marci, and the Lattice Corners from our latest release!

First, cut your cardbase at 4"x11", and score it in half. You'll get a 4"x5.5" panel.

Add any background paper that you can find from your scraps.

Add the Lattice Corners, just because they're irresistible!

Now, to the big part. Mount your stamp on the acrylic block, ink it, and stamp on a piece of matching cardstock.

Once stamped, cut your piece of cardstock to 3"x4". You shall obtain a nice frame all around your image. Next step is to cut your shape out of it, with your sharp scissors/craft knife. 

Don't bother being precisely on/close the outside line of your stamp, as you will outline it with a black marker for a finishing touch.

Now, glue your frame to some scrap paper from your stash that matches the rest of the card.

All you need to do is to put it on 3D foam dots, stick it to your card, and you're on!! I added a brad to each corner and some twine, but really, all you see is that awesome silhouette of  Bumble Bee Marci!

And here's the result!

Thanks for being with me today, I hope you'll give this technique a try and share it on the Facebook group as well!

Tutorial Thursday: Beaded Stickpin Butterfly Embellishments

Hi fellow crafters, Cathi here!! This week I want to do a tutorial using some metal stickpin embellishments, making them into gorgeous butterflies by adding the Decorative Corner Dies.  They turned out beautifully but really are a quick and simple technique!

Now I don't want to spend a lot of time doing a tutorial about the beaded stickpins, I want to focus on using the Decorative Corner Dies and how to turn two of the corner dies into a beautiful butterfly embellishment! So, I will do a quick description about the beaded stickpins only. To start off with you can buy decorative stick pins with pearl or beaded heads in many different lengths, such as the one below:

Just use liquid glue to glue the beads you choose onto your stickpin and hang them or prop them upside down to dry overnight till they are on solidly. You can make them any way you wish, there are so many beads to choose from!!

To make the butterfly wings simply cut out two sets of whatever size corner flourish you choose. I have used the Decorative Corner Dies for my samples, but here I am cutting out several of the La-La Land Crafts corner dies, Decorative Corner Die, Scroll Corner Die, Filigree Corner Die and Lattice Corner Die, on my die cutting machine to make several different examples!

I just used my hot glue gun to take my two corner flourishes and adhere them together.

Next use the same strong hot glue to glue your stickpin to your newly made butterfly!

I folded up the die cuts to make the butterfly more dimensional and that is it! Simple and so pretty! Here are a few more I did using other La-Land Crafts corner flourishes!

Here are some closeups of the stickpin embellishments in a layout. The Decorative Corner Die comes in two sizes so I was able to make similar butterflies in two different sizes!

They would work equally well on a card.

Have any of the La-La Land corner flourishes? 

Why not try one of these fun and pretty embellishments for yourself!
