WOW Wednesday

WOW Wednesday in July is a bit early due to my vacation.   We'll be making paper bag scrapbooks (seriously....it's made from brown paper lunch bags) on Wednesday, July 20th at my house at 6pm.

RSVP by July 11th- because this is a product class.  Class fee is $25 and includes:
your own finished album....all ready to add pictures
instructions to make more
your OWN pack of Flirtatious designer paper
your OWN roll of sticky strip
6 bags to make more albums at home



Here are the projects we made at June's WOW Wednesday:


stamp set:  delicate doilies (new)
ink:  island indigo, daffodil delight, lucky limeade
cardstock:  island indigo, whisper white
accessories:  fancy fan letterpress plate, daffodil delight 1/8 taffeta ribbon, 2 1/2 inch circle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, mini glue dots

Letterpress plates are pretty cool.  Instead of embossing an image, it debosses it....meaning it pushes the image down into the cardstock instead of raising it up.   We used classic ink here....and it works "ok."  I really like the letterpress with craft inks and even more so with watercolor paper.  WC paper isn't as tightly woven as regular cardstock and really allows for a nice impression.








Diamond Fold Card

stamp set:  flower fest (summer mini)
ink:  pacific point, wild wasabi
cardstock:  whisper white, pacific point, wild wasabi
accessories:  beyond the garden designer paper (summer mini), 2 3/8 scallop circle punch, rhinestones, scoring tool.

stamp set:  sail away (summer mini)
ink:  early espresso, versamark, bleach
cardstock:  early espresso, kraft, very vanilla
accessories:  clear embossing powder, corner rounder, espresso bakers twine, 1 inch circle punch, 3/4 circle punch, cropodile, crystal effects, aqua painter.

stamp the sail away image in versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  Clear ep takes on whatever color your cardstock is.  Using an aquapainter filled with bleach and color in the sails.
