String Art Wedding Card

Today’s card is another string art card.  I mentioned yesterday that we made a wedding/anniversary card with the string art technique.  I had a couple of questions asking how did I do a heart.  Well, it is a loose heart but it is still heart shaped.  Here’s what I made:

String Art, Anniversary, Wedding, Heart
How fun is this!!!  It also looks like two birds kissing.  The greeting is from Another Wonderful Year — this is a fabulous greeting/phrase stamp set in the Annual Catalog and it worked great for this card.

To make the heart  I cut a 15″ piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine — poke the string into Coastal Cabana ink refill to cover all but 4″ of the twine.  Put the ink soaked twine on a piece of cardstock to form half a heart — put another piece of cardstock on top and sandwich between a book — apply pressure on the book and pull the string out.  Repeat this process on the other half of the cardstock to create the heart image.

Fun with String Art Technique

Oh My Gosh, my stamp class last night was so fun!!!  We made four cards using the String Art Technique.  Many of them have seen cards done with this technique but didn’t know how to do it.  They were shocked and amazed by how fun it is.  Here Heidi, Wendy, Kelly & Cindy are working on a fun wedding/anniversary card where the string forms a heart.

Can you see how this can be a messy project but so worth the mess to make this great Christmas card.  Joan and Cheryl are having a great time.

String Art, Christmas


I used Garden Green and Real Red for this fun Merry Christmas card.  The Real Red Rhinestones helped fill in the white space — so much fun.

Blended Season Miss You

The Blended Season Bundle is amazing, don’t you think?  I’ve been sharing some cards we did made using this bundle — a wedding card, a fall card with blowing wheat and a fall card with beautiful leaves.

Today I wanted share one more card and it may be my favorite.  I cased this card from one I saw while on the Alaskan Cruise.  I just love the simplicity of this card.  You could stamp a sympathy saying, thank you, happy birthday, just a note or here as a Miss You card.

Blended Season Stamp Set, Stitched Season Framelits, Miss You
I love the Gray Granite and Early Espresso simplicity.  I started with a Gray Granite base with a layer of Early Espresso.  The Subtle Embossing Folder was used on Very Vanilla for the main layer.  A frame was cut from Early Espresso cardstock using the two larger sizes of framelits.  On a second piece of Very Vanilla I stamped the flowers in the center and cut out with he middle piece.  We added a little bit of color to the center of the flowers with Sahara Sand.  This finishing touch is the flower that is cut from Sahara Sand cardstock and the Stitched Shapes framelits.
