Just a Friendly Hello

This was one of my favorite string art cards.  Did you know that you can use more than one color ink refill with this technique?  Yup, you can — for this card we dipped some of the Baker’s Twine in Gorgeous Grape and the other portion in Granny Apple Green, then lay the string down on Whisper White cardstock in whatever pattern you like, lay another piece over it, placed in an old book, apply pressure and pull the string.  Viola, you have a flower and the stem – LOVE IT!!

I used the dragonfly from Touches of Texture stamp set and the words are from Another Wonderful Year stamp set.  A little Wink of Stella on the dragonflies and you are done.

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:

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.
