Santoro London Tole Cards

Hi, Everyone,

If you haven't seen the paper and embellishments from Santoro London, you are missing out.  This is a paper line that has perforated die-cuts to create paper tole 3D layered girls, so you don't have to spend hours fussy cutting.  You can find a nice selection at Treasured Memories.  Seeing it in person will blow you away!

When I was a little girl the only toys I remember having were paper dolls, and to this day I love them dearly.  I purchased this product with the intention of using the girls in my upcoming Art Fest, an altered encyclopedia.  After layering 4 girls and placing them inside the encyclopedia, it became apparent that these girls were stand alone pieces due to their many 3D layers.  So what is a girl to do?  Well, make them into cards of course!  Have a look below.

Saturday, January 24th

12 - 5 p.m.

$38

Please join me to create these 5 beautiful paper tole cards for any occasion using the Mirabelle Collection by Santoro.  No fussy cutting required, because all the images are die-cut!

Please bring to class:  a paper trimmer, paper distresser, scissors, foam pop dots or 3D clear glue dots, tweezers, 1/2" and 1/4" Scor-tape  

Please phone Treasured Memories at 780-414-1540 to reserve your spot.

Hope to see you soon.

Happy creating!

Hi, Everyone,

The Graphic 45 "Botanical Tea" Paper Collection combined with the G45 Book Box makes an absolutely Stunning Boxed Card Set.

Merry Christmas!

Hi, Everyone,
Thank you so much for creating with me over this past year.

I love your enthusiasm & you showing me the things you've created after taking my classes & the awesome things you have created on your own.

I would like to share with you the cards I made this year.  Have a look.

I chose black cards & envelopes for my base.  Classic & Elegant.

Of course the Tim Holtz Doily Die with something new . . . clear plastic tape with white designs.

The clear tape with white designs is available at Treasured Memories & looks so beautiful on dark backgrounds.  Here I used the snowflake design . . . & doesn't that drywall mesh look amazing on the envelope along with the paper bow?

The Tim Holtz Ornament die from last year has the tiny ornament hanger that I love to use to hang my sentiments from (the silver sparkle paper looks amazing).

Don't forget a slide mount made from card stock & staples.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas & a joyous New Year!

Have fun creating!

Tim Holtz Style Card - October

Hi, Everyone,
I've been recuperating & putting away from ART Fest for the past week & a half.  What an event that was!

It's great to be back in my craft room, dabbling in my Inka-Gold's again.  This month I have created a beautiful Tim Holtz Style October card using Tim's similar Eroded Metal Technique.  He shares this technique in his Creative Chemistry 102 class which I am currently taking on-line.  I highly recommend taking Tim's 2 classes:  Creative Chemistry 101 & Creative Chemistry 102.  The wealth of knowledge that man possesses is amazing.

There are many techniques out there to create finishes that look like Eroded Metal, Exposed Metal, Rusty Metal, etc. using the many different products available to us today.

I have used Golden Acrylic Paints, DecoArt Metallic Paints, & Ranger Distress Paints to create my own Eroded Metal Finish on the card below.  The Chemist stamp set Tim released is stunning.  I will be using it quite a lot I think.  Blues, greens & bronze blend beautifully together.  Once you accent those colours with Inka-Gold Copper, Haematite & Turquoise . . . you will be blown away.

Have a look at this month's card class:

I always buy all Tim Holtz's new products when they come out & wait for inspiration to strike so I can play with the new product.  The Mirror Sheets were just one of those products I've been waiting to use. We will also be playing with StazOn ink, Tim's Blueprint stamps & Kraft Resist paper . . . & don't forget those metal embellishments!
