This just seems more colorful to me. My fear is that it's a bit old fashioned and I should go more for the Community or Magazine look, what do you guys think?<br />

This was actually by complete accident and I'm really not sure that I like it. I would love to know what everyone thinks about it. I guess my biggest problem is that I miss my Header with my logo, the flowers, color and whatnot. If I can figure out a way to get that header back then I might just get used to it.PinkyFingerCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416211597985615499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986017458886204577.post-19903314059923304232018-10-23T19:25:00.000-05:002018-11-24T07:26:02.100-06:00Wedding Card in Cream and Wine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I fell in love with the poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald and decided to use it on the Wedding Card for my Daughter and her new wife, Joanna. I can't really tell you where I got the dies or who made them, but I just love these dies. I can tell you the design of the card itself isn't completely mine, It was the sample image that came with one of the unbranded dies that I bought. The wedding color was Wine and Yellow. I tried to get the overall theme of the wedding into the card. I embossed the inside mat on the left with an embossing folder by Darice and used glitter pens by Kaiser to color the details of the embossing impressions. The card is inside a keepsake box and the top picture on the right is the box top.</span>PinkyFingerCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416211597985615499noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986017458886204577.post-24693571057106516492018-10-23T19:15:00.001-05:002018-10-23T19:15:11.581-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found a very similar card to this on Pinterest and thought it would make a nice Engagement Card and this is my adaptation of that card. I this for my daughter and her fiancee to congratulate them on their engagement (Officially). They are married now, the wedding was October 12, 2018 and it was just beautiful. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The heart is cut from the a Cricut file and it's tucked behind a die from Spellbinders, Shapeabilities called "Iron Works". I curled it a bit so that it would poof up in the center and allow the heart to slip under it. I placed a piece of clear Vellum over the mat and the paper pattern is by Prima "Cherry Blossom" pad. The flower gems in the corners are sticky gems that I bought ages ago at Michaels Arts and Crafts store. I made a matching keepsake box and that is what the card sits in. The top of the box in under the box bottom. The card is approximately 5 1/2 x 5.</span></div>

What can I say, The day needs to grow more hours.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I thought I would show off some of the things my class has been doing. I am going to close my Michael's Facebook page, the postings are rather redundant and If I have to choose one to devote the time too, it will be this blog. I hope that everyone who has visited the Facebook page will take a look here to catch up on what we have been doing and what you have been missing.<br />
<br />
I have started Custom Classes. These are one-on-one class sessions and can be anything from learning Cricut Design to taking a missed classed. I certainly don't know how to do everything, but you never know, I just might know the thing that you're wanting to know. <br />
<br />
These photos are not in any sort of order, but here we go:<br />

I've been the Paper Craft Instructor at Michael's in Lee's Summit, MO for the past two years and absolutely loved the experience. I have also loved teaching crafting techniques, tricks and tidbits and being able to do that inside an Arts and Crafts store was flatout amazing! But, time marches forward and the world changes and that applies even to Arts and Crafts Stores. <br />
<br />
I have no idea why the Corporate decision makers decided to put a stop to all Instructor led classes and instead use only employee/store associates to lead their class demonstrations. Instructor Choice classes were a way for the Instructors, working from Micheal's, to teach classes that were not corporate designed classes.<br />

But everything is ok... Michael's has graciously allowed me to continue teaching my classes from the classroom as long as there are no financial transactions inside. Yay! so, here we go...the NEXT CHAPTER, stay tuned.PinkyFingerCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416211597985615499noreply@blogger.com01700 NW Chipman Rd, Lee's Summit, MO 64081, USA38.929126 -94.40888869999997738.731477999999996 -94.731612199999972 39.126774 -94.086165199999982tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986017458886204577.post-37100396375396360092017-01-08T20:07:00.001-06:002017-01-08T20:07:12.334-06:00Way past July!Here we are in 2017 and rapidly coming to the end of January. Time marches forward and some days seem to march faster than others. I'm really not sure where the Christmas Season went.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I'm still here, I'm still creating and I'm still planning on keeping this blog updated, but let's face it...that's probably not going to happen as often as I would like. <br />
<br />
I've got some projects done for the month of January and I'm working on some more. Here is what I have so far and I just don't know where I would be without Pinterest giving me the inspiration that I need. As soon as I get them photographed I will come back and update to add the photos.<br />

I<br />
Once again, it's been forever since I've posted anything to the blog, time just keeps getting away from me.<br />
<br />
There were so many things that I was going to do when spring finally arrived, and well... it arrived, it left and I still have not done certain things lol.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was playing around with vellum. It's been years since I've done anything with vellum, but I happened across my stash the other day and thought - Hey! I remember you!<br />
<br />
I stamped a gorgeous bird and a butterfly (Inkadinkado Mindscapes) on clear vellum, then I used a number 3mm Stylus on the back of the stamped image and with little circles, filled the area in. I then fussy cut out both the bird and butterfly. I loved how puffed and crinkly they became from the embossing. The vellum that I used is the open stock vellum from Michael's, it's not heavy weight not not super thin either. If I had to guess, I would say around 30 lb.<br />
<br />
I used my new Darice embossing folder that I first inked up with distress ink "Picked Raspberry" and ran it through my cuttlebug using white cardstock. I used one of my border dies from spellbinders (A2 Borders number 3) to make the pink banner (I can't remember who the stamp is by) and stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Jet Black ink. I then stamped in VersaMark a few flowers on the same vellum and heat set them and fussy cut them out as well. The bird, the butterfly, the flowers and banner were all attached to Flamingo Pink card stock (value pack from Michael's). I used another spellbinders die for the inside corners "Decorative Curved Square". I then made a matching envelope using the Envelope Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. <br />
<br />
I enjoyed the entire process. I really wasn't sure where I was going with it when I started so I'm certainly pleased that I like the end result.<br />

I realize that I'm not very good with keeping up with the blog, but with everything for the classroom being put on my (Pinkey Finger Crafts ) facebook page, it just seems redundant to post them here also. I wanted to use this blog for my personal crafting and not my class stuff, but honestly I don't really do much these days that doesn't turn into a class project.<br />

I created this in Design Space using Splice/Align tools and the font "Regal". I love how it turned out, it's Decoupaged with paper from the Country Road stack onto a wrapped 9x12 canvas. I then cut the monogram out in Vinyl and attched it. I actually had some trouble with it and this is the 2nd time around.</div>

Another canvas mixed media project and this one was made on a 9x12 canvas panel using paper from the "Best of My Mind's Eye" paper stack. I used the Cricut to die cut the clouds but the background and balloons are from the paper stack.</div>

After looking for inspiration, I came up with on that I found on pinterest and tweaked it. I then made a dimensional box for her to present to her friend. The card is a 6x6 Easel card, the cardstock is from DCWV "Garden Party" and uses Spellbinders dies (the 2 largest of the "Floral Ovals" dies, Majestic Labels 8, a fancy small rectangle that was cut apart for the corners and a couple of small flourishes) I also used an embossing folder by Anna Griffen "Eyelet Stripe" and the Cuddlebug. The Fonts used are Alex Brush, Cantoni Pro and Cantoni Pro Flourishes and Myriad Pro. I also created a Dimensional Envelope with 1/2 inch depth using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard with the diagonal piece.<br />

The box actually closes up but for some reason I didn't think to take a photo of it closed. I got the idea from a <a href="http://stampartic.blogspot.ca/2011/01/post-it-easel-tutorial.html" target="_blank">tutorial that I found on Pinterest.</a> The paper that I used is from K&Company by Susan Winget and I don't see that the stack has an actual name. The flowers were all made by me using coordinating papers. Here is a photo of my interpretation.<div>

The name of this vertical paper bag mini album is from a paper stack by, The Paper Studio called "Haberdashery". I wanted to make this entire album from this one paper stack, but I have far too many beautiful papers and paper stacks and could not resist using other papers. Some of the different paper stacks that I used are "Country Road" by The Paper Studio, "The Rustic Stack" by DCWV and "Tradewinds" by DCWV as well as several Recollections value pack papers and a few single sheets of paper that I had in my stash for a long time. My Interpretation for this vertical paper bag mini album came from the YouTube "<a href="https://youtu.be/_Aj9oMQYtVg" target="_blank">My Sister Scrappers</a>" channel . Here are some photos of the project.<br />

It's seem so futuristic to actually be present day. Then I looked at my Driver's License to see when it was up for renewal and it's not due until "<b><i>2020</i></b>" I was really floored.<br />
<br />
okay, back on subject of what I've created.<br />
<br />
I was on YouTube one day and came across a spinner card. I thought it was so darn cute and couldn't believe that I had not seen them before. I just had to make one. I have two very adorable little nieces (actually Grand-Nieces I think is the proper word, but that just makes me feel old haha). I had a sheet of really cute Disney's Minnie Mouse designer card stock and ended up with this: The card itself is 6x6 and the little heart spins around and around as it moves back and forth across the track (have to hold the card and tilt it right and left to get the heart to spin and slide). So stinkin cute! I'm not sure card stock I will use for my other little niece but I know I will have fun making it,<br />

I swear the walls are expanding lol.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the things I've made recently and I'm holding class on these projects at Michael's in Lee's Summit, Missouri.<br />
<br />
This is a 3x4 Pocket Mini Album that will hold all those Ephemera cards that we all have been collecting as well as the small wallet size photos or little journaling cards. This would make a great little gift for someone.<br />

I made this Winter layout using the paper and some die cuts from my Cricut Explore. I'm not sure that it's showing up very well, but I covered the title in Glossy Accents and it really added a nice effect. The snowflakes are from an old punch that I have and I'm not even sure where I got it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I'm so happy that I'm almost done with Christmas Cards! I actually have just the inside greetings to stamp and the envelopes to make (although I will probably buy those just to save some time). I can't hardly believe it's time to send out Christmas cards, where did the year go? I had so much fun making the "Window" cards and I think they turned out really cute. The window's were cut from the Cricut and the images were a "print then cut" feature of the Cricut, which is really great. The top card with is made using little wooden laser cuts that I bought at Michael's and the inside flourish's were made using my cuddlebug and spellbinders die.<br />

<br />
This is an Explosion Box Card that I've made for my brother and his family for Christmas. The cardstock that I used is Recollections (from Michael's) seasonal "Red and White Christmas" 12x12 pad and a bunch of stuff that was cut from my cricut Explore. I will let the photos describe the box.<br />

I've been working alot with different stamping techniques, trying to get competent with the different methods. I love the different techniques of creating backgrounds. I used Colorbox pigment and dye ink as well as Close to My Heart, Stampin Up! and Ranger. I must say that I like the Colorbox the best for overall general background making and Ranger Jet Black for Stamping images that need to be colored in later. For messages, such as Greetings, I recently bought a VersaFine and oh my gosh, do I ever love it! My greetings come out so much better.<br />

I wan't able to find a template for the inside mats and it was that part that I had trouble with, not the pop up part. I think the card turned out very well and I know my daughter will love it.<br />

This is the mixed media canvas gift that I made for the newly weds. The idea was the first initial of each of their first names and the large initial of their last name. But, I found out too late that my niece decided to take her bride's last name...ah well. I bought the box below the photo at Michael's to put the gift in with the idea that they could later use it to store their wedding cards.</div>

I went a little crazy with the purse shaped gift bags and turned them into Halloween themed treat bags using Graphic 45 paper. I forget the name of the paper stack, but I just love it. These are hanging on my display board in my classroom.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
My poor blog gets so neglected sometimes, I feel badly about it. I tend to keep up my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pinky-Finger-Crafts/1634892886740365" target="_blank">facebook page </a>and then when I post here, it's mainly stating again what I wrote there. But then I realized, that my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pinky-Finger-Crafts/1634892886740365" target="_blank">facebook page</a> is about the classes that I teach at Micheals and my blog is about anything I want it to be about, because it's all about me, me ME! lol<br />
<br />
I have been having such a wonderful time teaching classes at Michael's, it would be the greatest job in the history of jobs if I actually made any money at it. Don't get me wrong, I do get paid and the pay isn't bad at all, but I work in a CRAFT STORE.... I walked into work and my eyes get boggled by all the pretty and shiny things! I have spent much much more than I've actually earned. I keep telling myself "Stop it" "You don't Need That!" but as with most things, myself doesn't listen one bit!<br />
<br />
So, what have I been making lately?<br />

I'm so thrilled that I can hardly contain myself. I bought it on sale at Michael's Arts and Craft store and brought it home. I was disappointed that I couldn't carry it to my craft room, hook it up and play with it immediately, but I had class to teach and it had to wait.<br />
<br />
By the time I was able to lift that <i>beautiful </i>machine out of the box, set it up, download the software my excitement had built up to a feverish pitch. One of the main reasons I wanted the machine was to cute small intricate embellishments and I was actually disappointed on the first go around. The cut tore up the paper and wasn't the nice finished piece that I saw on the youtube videos that I watched. Then I realized that I didn't have the paper dial set correctly and once I figured that out, it worked much better.<br />
<br />
For normal sized stuff I was truly amazed. I cut out a 4 inch, extremely intricate doily on medium weight cardstock and just couldn't stop looking at the beauty of the cuts, all sharp and perfect as though it was from a cuddlebug and not a cricut... LOVE IT!!!<br />
<br />
Now I'm wanting to play around with the writing feature and the ability to import images and so many other things, oh and CHIPBOARD.... I just bought a deepcut housing and some .50mm chipboard that I'm going to play with....I feel so happy.PinkyFingerCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416211597985615499noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986017458886204577.post-70034449032808189902015-05-25T21:22:00.001-05:002015-05-25T21:22:54.151-05:00Steam Punk Box CardI just love Steam Punk and it saddens me to see steam punk papers and embellishments leaving the shelves of the craft stores. I don't want the Steam Punk phase to end, but alas I suppose it must. But before it does, I made a Steam Punk themed Box Card and I just had so much fun. I will be holding class on box cards for advanced papercrafting in August at the Lee's Summit, Chipman Mall location, so check the schedule.<br />

I saw the cutest box card on Pinterest that looked like a birdhouse so I had to make one for a friend's birthday, she just loves flowers and birds and I knew she would get a kick out it. I basically just used paper from my scrap pile, so I can't say what papers they were.<br />
