Second is a sparkly (and spooky) witch. I love the paper in the background, and don't you just love those black, sparkly brads?The only non-kit items here are the ribbon and the thread.
The red border is wrapped around the edge like a book binding and therefore is visible on the back side too.
As you can see, I don't believe masculine cards need to be all tools, cars, and dirt (though some of my man cards definitely do fall under that category). They can just be lovely elements put together in a way that hints at masculinity. I hope this inspires you to create some of those tough man cards, and if you're in the area feel free to sign up for the class at A Walk Down Memory Lane. Now, I'm off to prep some class kits for a Christmas Card Class for Saturday!
When you find the tiles, they will look like the picture above.
Remove 1 tile from the sheet and wipe it clean with a damp paper towel.
To stamp on the tile you will stamp an image in stazon ink directly onto the tile.
Color the image in with Sharpie markers. There is no need to seal the tile.
To use vinyl on the tile, cut out an image in vinyl.
Adhere the vinyl directly to the tile.
When you have the image you want on on the tile (in either ink or vinyl), adhere a clothespin to the back of the tile with a strong adhesive. Allow time for the glue to dry completely.
Tie a ribbon onto the clothespin, and you have a completed gift!
Supplies(all are American Crafts unless otherwise stated):
This is a scissors with my Fiskateer number (#6363) engraved on the blade. All this just because a few months back I joined the Fisk-a-teer community. Are you a Fisk-a-teer? I love, love, love being part of this community! The Fisk-a-teer community is a group of wonderful craft enthusiest who especially love Fiskars products. And really, who doesn't have at least one Fiskars tool in their craft arsenal? At the Fisk-a-teers community, they hold crops, have contests, have a fantastic blog and message board area, and a fun gallery too. If you want to become a Fisk-a-teer too, you can send an e-mail to Rebecca at rpeck@Fiskars.com and tell her you'd like to be a Fisk-a-teer, and that Samantha #6363 sent you. They like to "meet" all of the new fisk-a-teers personally and let you know what the site is all about. This is a great community for all crafters; paper, yarn, and fabric alike.
You will need:
First, punch out or use a cutting machine to cut/punch a scalloped circle.
Next, you will cut out 2 of the scallops from the circle as pictured above. You may discard the cut out piece. You will only need the circle.
Put adhesive on the 2 outermost scallops and adhere by overlapping the 2 outermost scallops on the opposite side of the gap. You should now have a cone shaped flower.
Bend the petals out slightly.
Take floral wire and curl the end into a small spiral shape (this will be the center of your flower).
Thread the floral wire though the tip of the flower.
I love how this canvas turned out. I'm in the process of turning a wall inside my house into my own personal little art gallery where I can put pretty canvases like this one and framed lay outs. This is going to be my first piece to go up! It's pretty simple to do. Get a canvas. Paint the edges of the canvas, if you want a different color than white. I used tan Studio Paint. Create a layout. Adhere your pieces with mod podge. Make sure to allow lots of drying time to decrease air bubbles and wrinkles. Seal the whole thing with mod podge when you're done, and ta-da! Your own piece of artwork for the wall. I also decided to stamp a little sentiment on my paper ("We are family"). If you want to do any stamping, make sure to use something like Staz-on, so your ink won't run when you seal the picture with mod podge.
Since it's a sneak peak, I won't give you too many details about the card, but...did you notice the ornaments on the tree? They are red, embossed, AND sparkly! I love how the glitter makes this card pop. There's even some stamping on the inside of this card to give it an extra hand-made for the holidays feel.
