Next Class at Scrapbook Haus

I will be back in New Braunfels on May 1st to teach another tea bag folding class. This time you will learn the basic square fold and the square fold variation one. You will make three cards using the same basic fold, but for three completely different looks. One card is an easel card that will show each of the four stamps on the tea bag folding cube and the basic square fold medallion. The next card will be on acetate where both sides of the stamped medallion can be enjoyed. The last card you will learn how to use any small stamp to make a symmetrical stamped medallion. We will use an acrylic Gemlet to position the stamps. Hope to see you there!

Another Easel Card


Here is another easel card I made. This one is to welcome home a new baby, Sadie. I made a fan-fold medallion and a layered butterfly cut with a Quickutz die in my Cuttlebug.

Iris Folded Easter Egg



This is an iris folded card that I designed for a class in Temple at Wendaful Scrapbooks. I used a pack of Doodlebug papers that coordinated beautifully. The egg and the grass were Accu-Cut diecuts available at Wendaful's. I hope everyone finds all the Easter Eggs the bunnies left for ya.

Tea Bag Folding Stamps


I love the tea bag stamps from Impression Obsession. One of the cubes comes with four different butterflies. This easel card displays all four stamps and a medallion from one of them. I'm teaching a class similar to this card Sunday at Stamp Salado. I'd love to see you there.

The Promise of Bluebonnets



A little cold weather and sunny afternoons brings thoughts of Texas bluebonnets soon to follow. Texana Designs has a wonderful bluebonnet stamp in miniature. I took the stamp and created 8 square tiles for tea bag folding. I love how it turned out!!

I also love the easel cards featured on Splitcoast Stampers a few weeks ago. What a wonderful way to display cards.

Enjoy!

Three Hearts @ Salado


Here are the cards I made last week at Stamp Salado. The instructor was Sally and she started the class with the ABCs of card making.

A - always measure twice and cut once
B - back, always sign the back of your card/artwork
C - copy - photograph or scan your creations, print and put them in an album for reference

I've been collecting the stuff for this embossing templates for a long time. We did the dry embossing on vellum. We did the embossing paste. The third card was double embossed with part of the embossing heat embossed.

Thanks for a great class!!!
