Time being of the essence and a studio that should be featured on "Hoarding: buried alive" I went back to basics and played with the stuff I had on hand.

My nieces came over today and I decided to make some punch owls. Here's the results of our play time: </div><div style="text-align: left;">

Dump glitter, flocking, or anything else you want to make your stripes out of on to the strip of tape. Rub the stuff in to make sure its nice and stuck. Return excess back to the jar and then continue to do this for as many colors as you plan to use. (I do all stripes of a color at the same time)<br /><br />Once all the stripes are done I cut the cardstock to size and then cut it apart to make the various blocks.

He is in charge of approving vacation schedules. Even though John has 13 years at his job unfortunately he will never in his entire career have seniority. This causes some difficulty every year with booking trade shows where dates are set in stone and contracts have to be submitted almost a year in advance. Add to this, the time of year I need him most is also a highly sought after time for taking vacations. Hence this little package I mailed today.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Recently Gary commented to John that he would love to have a "Jackass" stamp to stamp on paperwork. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The closest I could get to a Jackass was our Donkey Dunkle from our DoodeFactory Fairytale set</span>: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://starvingartistamps.com/doodlefactory_fairytale.html">http://starvingartistamps.com/doodlefactory_fairytale.html</a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I made Gary a wood mounted Dunkle and shipped him off along with this Super Gary card:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgicPhF5hx5BJBsXsI6vE40hxDyhWs59obafJB10DR2ro9VmCqV5vpqdQYKkgbmA8CnT6SBIezqJMD4jkV_gX21AlQocWIaLW6Lsqk_dZXw_UK0nyOME4D5t9WkqPO0Uvvrx8KlnikUu9dh/s1600-h/Super_Gary_Card.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

I have been in a huge snowflake mood lately (stop back tomorrow for the blog hop and you will see just how many snowflakes I have used on my cards!) All the snowflakes are spellbinder dies. I used a mix of different flakes from 3 different sets. I used our 4" wide Stampers Magic tape to cover a piece of cardstock. Then ran that thru my cuttlebug with asst. snowflake dies. I had to use a couple of sheets of extra cardstock to shim it up and make it cut all the way through, but as you can see it worked. Once I had them all cut I mounted each layer using 1/8" thick POP tape.<br /><br />I learned with my first snowflake its better to attach the parts together before you glitter it as it makes a stronger bond. So I layered each layer peeling off the liner so that each part was sticky. Once the whole thing was assembled and each layer was sticky. I dumped a container of ultra-fine silver glitter on it. I used a brush to dust off all the excess from the nooks and crannies.<br /><br />I also made the glitter stripes using Stampers Magic Tape in 1/8" wide. I just ran the double sided tape where I wanted it and then added the silver glitter, again brushing off the excess. I love using the tapes for glitter stripes. Its much cleaner than using glues and the layer is even and not lumpy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Products used:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stampers magic POP! tape: </span><br />http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_pop_tape.html<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stamps: DoodleFactory O' Holy Night Angel: </span><br />http://starvingartistamps.com/o_holy_night_3.html<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stampers Magic Tape: </span><br />http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_tape.html<br /><br />Visit with us tomorrow for our new release DoodleFactory Artic BLOG HOP and ONE DAY ONLY BLOG CANDY!!

Cut your cardstock to: </div><div style="text-align: left;"> First layer: 5 1/2 x 9 (inside first panel)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Second layer: 5 1/2 x 10 (middle panel)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Third layer: 5 1/2 x 11 (outside/card front)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Fold them all in half. </div><div style="text-align: left;">3. cut out your center frames, I used 2 spellbinder nestabilities long rectangular dies.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I cut the larger one first. I taped it down on the back of my first layer card (so the tape wouldn't pull up the front of the card and make it yucky. I eyed the placement but feel free to measure if you feel the need. For the second smaller cut out I lined up the first and second panel on the fold and then centered the smaller rectangle inside the large frame I just made. Then I taped that down, removed the first layer and ran it through to cut out the second smaller frame. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. The fun part... doing all the stamping, adding all the images and the leaves. Do all this before you attach your panels, it makes life easier. I used stampers magic 4" roll tape to do all my mounting and attaching.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">5. glue each end of the card to the card below it. I used stampers magic 1/4" <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">tape </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, fantasy; "><a href="http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_tape.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://starvingartistamps.com/stampers_magic_tape.html</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> to attach each edge. I ran a strip of tape on the edge of the 3nd panel (the back one) and then made sure the 2nd panel was lined up right before I stuck it to the second. Once that was stuck I added tape to the 2nd panel and attached the first panel. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">6. last step, adding the jute ties to the side, I used a screw punch to punch through all those holes.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So all in all it was an interesting first glimpse of what I'm getting myself into with my star book project times 7!

I made sure these were generously sized images so they would fill up a card with little effort. Their large size also makes them great for framed art and other large scale products. The backgrounds are from Stamp Camp and they will be available shortly. All of our parrot stamps and accessories (including our Stamp Camp backgrounds) are pre-mounted on 1/8" cling cushion.
