More Wall Art!

So Sorry for the poor quality, I need a new camera and 10 million other things.
I've seen a card made like this canvas, Thanks Lisa, she received it from her Founders Circle swap.
SU decided they liked it too and gave the Demos a tutorial of the card so I made Wall Art to show you.

Yes You've seen it! Just some more I have to say on the below post!

Exciting Find! I

OK I have been working on this for a couple weeks and wouldn't you know it SU had the same great idea about the stencils.
So I'm going to show you my take on it!
I found this, a cool sheet of plastic..HEHE,(complying to regulations, sorry no links or real names typed)

And had this idea which worked, running the stencil sheets with SU's Join in the Cheer Die, I knew the circle from the o might pop out either though I didn't want it to.
Luckily it didn't.
I had to continue to cut with my knife just the part I wanted, with lots of patience, trying to keep the o in the middle, so it wouldn't turn out to be a solid o...make since.

Here I'm using window sheets

But here is the real magic. Continue to next post for a great find...I did the work for ya.
Go out and get this. This one worked the best but they all did great...

Exciting find! Part II

And add a few drops of reinker any color and yes I tried craft also!

Go out and get this! Works Wonderful for all stencils!
Did not try reinkers on this only cause I wanted the white
There's more...

This was OK works with reinkers, classic and craft, but thin so you would have to build it up and dries with a sheen.

Yep you probably already have this and it works like a dream. Can be used with both classic and Craft reinkers.
The only thing I could be concerned with would be time and cracking.

If you would like more info cause I cannot give it to ya straight Email me!
Let me know if you have found others!

Lilli's Creations...Water coloring for Kids!

I was so impressed with her. Not much prompting on my part.
At one point you will see me laugh, the camera jiggle, cause of the mistake she made and corrected her self. I think I'm going to have her do all my videos! HE HE!

Fancy Fold~ShutterCard~ A2 Semi Tutorial

Cut 51/2 x 10 1/2 Base
Score short side 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4, 7, 8 3/4

Cut slits 1 1/2in from each side
From first score to last score, not all the way through!

Now use my card to figure out where all the pieces go...Yeah your going to do all that work!
Its actually easier to assemble, then figure out the folds. But...

This is a great view to find all the valleys and peaks

*Edit my folds are different...but I will keep them only cause I like the way it closes!!! See the post above.

Card Box Cont...For beginning to this tutorial go 3 post down.

OK I just figured out what I did wrong you have to go three posts down to start at the beginning...Sorry. But to continue take your 1 3/8 punch to the sides of your box for a half circle.
Then to make your handle, punch your1 3/8 circle hole first then your 1 3/4 circle punch next, I off sided it for a little extra touch, but you can do what you like. Tombow Multi to the Half circle you made on the box. Decorate!!!

Card Box Cont...

Bone fold all your scores...I use to never do this until a friend told me its easier to work with. But Y'all probably already knew that.
Use Tombo Multi on the small tab. Glue to first Long Tab.

Then ...here's a tip and it doesn't change the look of the box...Glue second long tab over the small tab that is glued to the first tab...make since. Look at Pic below
I do this so the cards do not get hung up on the small tab! Cont on to next post for the finish!

Box for Cards

First I have to start off with this. Are you measurement challenged?

I was!

The larger Lines are the 8Th's for instance -2 2/8 - 2 3/8- 2 4/8, understand!!!The little lines are the 16Th's - 2 1/16- 2 2/16- 2 3/16 and so on.
Now on to my tutorial.

Score down long side of full sheet of CS at 1 1/4 and 7 1/4
Flip and Score across at 4 7/8 and 6 1/8
Cut only small section on side where the scores meet Cont... in next post Blogger is only allowing me 5 pics today!!!
