BSS IDEA - ALCOHOL LIFT- INK

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

For this weeks idea, I pulled out the Alcohol Inks and The Alcohol Lift-Ink I had bought

and not used yet.  My inspiration was a video by Jennifer McGuire, which I have linked to

the word video, just click on it.

The cards are 5x7 inches. The mats are 43/4x63/4 inches.

The Imagine butterfly stamp set is Laurel Burch from

Stampendous (CR508) and includes the sentiment.

I used Yupo card stock from Tim Holtz and various colors of Alcohol

Inks.

The idea is using various alcohol inks on a piece of the Yupo cardstock

and getting a pattern you like, you let it dry thoroughly..

Then after it dries completely, you ink up your stamp with

  the lift ink,and stamp the image/images.  Set this piece aside to dry, then wipe with

a soft rag or paper towel. Using a piece of regular cardstock,

 immediately stamp the lifted image. Two completely different cards!

Please remember to clean the stamp thoroughly after the lifted ink

stamping and before stamping into the lift ink pad or you will

contaminate the pad with color.

Hope you get to try this, it is addicting!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day, Until later...

BSS IDEA-Fancy Fold Valentine/Love Card

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA

Winter finally arrived here in the Buffalo NY area.

AND it is COLD...........brrrrr

I made a new (to me) fancyfold card for this week's idea.

This post is loaded with pictures and the directions

for you to make your own fancy fold card.

The front of the card

White card stock card is 12 x 5 inches folded on the left

The black mat is 5 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches

The red mat is 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches

The second black mat is 5 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches

Adhere the mats to the front of the side folded card front.

Cut a white mat 4 x5 inches

Center the dies (I used Altenew Caps Bold Alphabet Die)

on the white mat, I used removable tape to hold

them in place)

Cut a strip of red paper to go behind the letters (I used

red glitter paper) and adhere behind the word. 

Attach the die cut panel to the front of the card.

The Inside of the card

Cut two pieces of mat (I used red card stock) 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches

Attach  two pieces if designer paper 5x4 inches, attach to the first mat, then

attach to each side of the opened card

Cut a strip of white paper 12x 1 inch

Cut a strip of black paper 12 x 1/4 inch

Adhere the black strip down the middle of the white strip

Fold the strip in half, open it  back up and bring

each end of the strip to the center fold of the strip 

and crease  Your strip will now have four equal sections

The two end sections are adhered to the center

of each end of the opened card, with the

two inner sections forming a "V".  When you

adhere the two end sections, add glue to the

entire section, placing the edge on the first

mat edge, not the edge of the card.  This is

so that when the card is closed, it won't show.

 To finish the card, decorate the strip with die cuts or

small colored images.  I used Spellbinders heart nestabilities,

and scalloped heart nestabilities in red and white.  I added

some red heart gems from Queen and Co.

The Love workd die on the inside, the sentiment on the inside,

and the sentiment on the outside above the Love die cut , are

from the Hero Arts Love Stamp and Cut set (DC175)

I have told you how I made my card and what I used, but this

could be made for any occasion.  You don't have to use a word die

on the front, you could use a stamped word.  Butterflies

on a circle or small square die on the inside would be pretty.

  Hope you get to try this fun card, it

is really very simple to put together, you don't have to mat as many

times as I did.  You can make the card any size you want,

the strip will always be as long as the opened card.  So if you

make an A2 card, the strip will be 1 inch by 11 inches

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later......
