I have always wanted to learn how to make these beautiful quilted ornament balls and one of my friends showed me this video on youtube. It was made by a girl named Angie. So, thanks Angie for making this awesome video tutorial. I can't wait to try it myself. Note: Angie (the girl who made the video) emailed me and here is a link to her blog.

Vintage Bella Bleu card tutorial

I made this card a while back and did a tutorial for a downline newsletter but I just realized that I never posted it on my blog! So, here you go….

First, get your supplies ready…. (note- NQN means not quite navy)

you will need:

Cardstock: Not quite navy  5 1/2 x8 1/2 and 3x 3 1/4. Bella Bleu DSP 5 1/4 x4, very vanilla 2 3/4×3, kraft 4x 3/4. You will also need scraps of NQN, kraft and Bella Bleu for scallop circles and circles.

Punches: 1" circle, 1 1/4" circle, scallop circle and scallop trim border

Stamp sets: Vintage Vogue, well scripted

Ink: Not quite Navy

Misc: kraft taffeta ribbon, sponge

Run your scraps through the crimper so they will be easier to scrunch and work with later.

Punch out 6 scallop circles- 2 of the kraft bella bleu, 2 of the blue bella bleu, and 1 each of kraft and NQN. Also punch out 2 of each size circle (one from each of the DSP colors)

Now crumple all of the punched out circles and scallops into little balls and then flatten them back out again.

Stack them up from biggest to smallest and I alternate colors so you have blue, kraft, blue, kraft, and so on. (I actually think I goofed in this picture and have the bottom ones backwards).  Then take your paper piercer and poke a hole through the center and stick a brad in there to hold them all together.

Starting scrunching your circles again from the top one down as tight as you can get them all.

When  you get all of the layers done, you can gently unfold them a little bit so it looks like a blooming flower.

THen to finish making your card, Stamp the vine from Vintage vogue onto the vanilla piece and stamp your sentiment in the top corner using the NQN ink. Use the scallop trim border punch to punch along the edge of your kraft piece. Adhere this piece to the bottom of your NQN piece and trim the ends so the scallops are the same on both edges.  Sponge edges of scallop border and vanilla piece with NQN ink. Wrap ribbon around the bella bleu dsp and adhere it to the NQN half sheet. Adhere the rest of the pieces and attach to front of card. The flower is attached using a dimensional.

How would you like to get a free class and stamp set?

When I was at Leadership, I saw this gorgeous box that Vita Padalino had created and I took her box idea and created a whole new class with it. I posted this photo a while back and said that I was doing it for my February stamp camp. I had a bunch of people ask me for the directions so I finally have the tutorial done for this class thanks to my wonderful friend Rebecca. She knows I am computer challenged when it comes to doing PDF type things so she helped me do this one. I am offering it to you for FREE with a $50 online order. I also have other class kits to choose from. Just click on the "Free Card Kits" button at the top of my page. Since it is Sale-abration, you also get a free stamp set or punch with your order. There are lots of things to choose from in the Sale-abration catalog.  I am also selling the tutorial for $4.95 if you are interested.

M&M Matchbook treat video tutorial.

Hey stampers,

It is time for another video with me today. Don't laugh but about halfway through taping, the kitchen timer goes off and just keeps beeping. I was making banana bread and didn't realize that it was almost done when I started taping this for the 4th time. I didn't have time to film it all over again from the beginning so I just kept on going so just ignore that beeping. It is not your mind playing tricks on you. One of these days I will master the editing with stopping and starting. Anyway, I hope you like this video.

Here are the measurements….

kraft 3 x 8 1/2, scored at 3 3/4 and 7 3/4

christmas cocoa 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 , and 1 x 7
