The "Brand New"Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hola!

 

Welcome to the "Brand New" Technique Tuesday blog hop.
Technique Tuesday’s Stamping Techs are blog hopping again, and we are delighted this month to share with you some cool projects made with some of the new stamps Technique Tuesday is debuting this week at the CHA trade show in California.

 

 

 

Here is my card using the new Basketball set.  So fun!  I just knew this would be a perfect thank the coach set and absolutely fabulous for those layouts of my kiddos playing basketball.  

 

Be sure to hop on over to the other Stampin' Techs blogs to be inspired!

For Renee...

Okay so this post is for Renee who asked for a "quick" how to.   Here goes.

 

First you get your card ready by punching out the shape you want.

 

Next, take a small rectangle a little bigger than your butterfly and put down a good adhesive.  I use Crafty Power Tape by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L because the stuff ROCKS!!

 

Take your twine and wrap it around the rectangle.  Be sure to press down on the adhesive end every now and again to make sure your twine is adhered properly.

 

Finished with that part.

 

Now you want to put adhesive as close to the edges of your punched shape as possible.   This will keep the twine close to the shape and prevent separation.

 

Make sure you have your twine where you want it.

 

This is what it will look like when it is placed inside the card.

 

And there you have it.

Be sure you stamp your sentiment first as it is easier to stamp without the bulk of the twine to deal with.  Hope that helps!

For today...

So I successfully took 12 photos yesterday!  YAY!  Now I just need to get them on a layout and I am good to go.  So in the meantime I will share a card that I made with Divine Twine by Whisker Graphics and Technique Tuesday stamps.   So much fun to do.

 

 

I am hoping to get a lot accomplished this weekend, but we shall see what happens.  I have a house and scrap room that are in desperate need of a cleaning!  Have a good day!
