Double challenge fun!!

This week I have been working like a crazy lady on wedding invitations!! Last Sunday the final decisions were made by the Bride and Groom and I need to have them wrapped and ready for This Sunday.  Sounds crazy but we love this couple and honestly I feel honored that they would have me do them.  I am uber happy with the results!  I can't even give you a sneak peak until I know they are in the mail, but they are beautiful.  The theme was a challenge as well as the colors!!  So stay tuned for these!
Today In between working on the invitations and everything else here at 'maxam making'
I whipped up three cards for challenges!  Two I can show you now and then one on Monday, have to wait it is a design team card!
For the wonderful blog Word Art Wednesday - Here :   http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/  The Challenge verse was :



As a teacher of young adults and having been one sometime after the Flood, I can appreciate the need for a credible reputation,  acting on this verse is a sure way of achieving it!
Here is my card:
 
The next blog challenge was for Mojo Monday,  it is here: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/
These challenges are really fun  and not only do you get to stretch yourself, in the end you have more great cards!!
 
Here is my card:
 
The stamp is from Our Daily Bread designs and the paper is DCWV.  The butterfly is a fussy cut from the paper with a little liquid pearl.
 
Both of these cards are 5x7
I favor the second one because of the strong contrasts and I like the Mojo layout very much.
 
I hope you all have a great weekend and find so time to create!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
