Gingersnap Creations Challenge: Wings

If I understand this “Anything Goes”, as long as it is Wings Theme.

I had some free time today as my drywall mud is not drying due to all the rain.

So I thought I would give the “Wings Challenge” a try.

 Please check   http://gingersnapcreations.blogspot.com/ for this challenge.

I’m playing with a Martha Stewart punch (called Garden Trellis and Right angles).

Or what they call a 45-degree angle. Call Me Nuts!!! But it was fun to do.

Using regular CS cut strips 1-½ inches wide by 11 inches long. You will need 2 strips.

You will need to trim the straight edge to ¼” to make sure they call met in the center.

Count the holes as this one is not square, mine is 9 holes by 12 holes, and will fit a

5 ½ x 4 ¼ cardstock. Tape angles together with 1/8” clear tape. The foam tape is also cut the same for mounting.I used printed butterfly paper as my background panel. Using Tim Holtz’s new large die to cut the copper sheeting, and burning it to get the color. My stamp is from Betsy Griffin at ISC.

Thanks so much for stopping in today. Hope you are dry and well.

Try That Technique From February 2005 Newsletter

I’m the first to say “I wasn’t much on Warhol”, but after trying both techniques,

I’m pleased so say I really like them and dare you to try them too.

For the Warhol TQ No 1.

It’s really simple. Stamp is from Paper Bag Studio.

For the Warhol TQ 2.

Once I started stamping this face from Hampton Arts, I became hooked on it.

Our instructions say to repeat the image three times, “Well if three is good”, “Six is better”? And why not dry emboss the background. I also used pop dots to raise the faces. Kinda cool looking.

I hope you have time to try these two TQ’s, as they really work up fast and it’s a great way to use up all those scraps of paper.

Have a Great Stampin’ Day!

Art Squared TQ from CD 7.

Wow! Can you believe it…. I’m free for a day or two.

I’m waiting for trim work to dry, and it’s to damp to strip woodwork, so I thought I would make a quick card from stored TQ’s. This is from CD 7 and it’s done on dark and light cardstock.Background is the light cardstock and birdcage is done on dark cardstock.  The little bird is cut from Colorwash spray and webbing TQ. The stamp is from Stampin’ Up and I’m sure everyone knows these are the new Sizzix dies from the “Tim Holtz Alterations set”. The flower punch is from Martha Stewart. I cut open the door on the birdcage and added a lock. At the top of the cage I added a key. The words “Just a Tweet”, is done with Constantia font and printed on a scrap from the Art Squared background.

Thanks for hanging in there! I’ll try to post alittle more often.

We do have two cabinets down and the walls are done and new ceiling is done. Now it’s just down to woodwork and stripping old woodwork. Then the new cabinets can come in…

Only a week of “No Sink and No Dishwasher”!

I think I can make it….
