Upper Tantallon, Nova Scotia

Studio Conveniently Located In

274DF38D 2735 4F87 9C78 0D655200815DHi, I'm Christine Alward and welcome to my website. I have been a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! since December 2009, and I love paper crafting and card making. 

I love to make people feel good and happy about their accomplishments, big or small, and I can never get enough of the smiles and pride I see on my customers' faces when they look at a finished project.

So many have told me that they have no creativity or talent when it comes to crafting, and all I would ask them is to give it a try and let me prove them wrong. Watching happy clients of all ages leave my classes with their finished cards and projects is what I like best about my job as independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I hope you will find inspiration in the projects I present here and that you will join me in my studio for a class.

Father's Day Card

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut Poppy Parade cardstock to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Score at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side. Fold to create the card.
  2. Emboss 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Poppy Parade cardstock with the Absolutely Argyle Embossing Folder.
  3. Use the Whisper White Ink Refill to ink the Uninked Stampin' Pad. Ink a Sponge Dauber by dabbing it on the ink pad.
  4. Lightly sponge the embossed cardstock with Whisper White ink to give it a distressed look. Allow to dry completely and then adhere to card front.
  5. Adhere 5-1/2" x 1/2" Gold Foil strip to card front with Glue Dots. Adhere 5-1/2" x 1" argyle patterned Country Club Designer Series Paper to card slightly overlapping the top edge of the Gold Foil strip.
  6. Die cut Smoky Slate cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle die that measures about 4" x 2". Adhere to card front over the paper strips with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. Rub an Embossing Buddy over a scrap piece of Basic Gray cardstock. Stamp Father's Day greeting from the Clubhouse stamp set with VersaMark ink on the cardstock. Cover generously with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Tap off excess powder and heat emboss with the Heat Tool.
  8. Die cut with shield-shaped die from the Golf Club Dies. Place several Stampin' Dimensionals behind the die cut.
  9. Unravel Poppy Parade Baker's Twine and cut a few different strands. Wrap loosely behind sentiment and stick to the Stampin' Dimensionals.
  10. Stamp the golf club image five times on scrap Whisper White cardstock.
  11. Die cut the golf club images with the coordinating die from the Golf Club Dies. Cut out 10 blank golf clubs from Whisper White cardstock.
  12. Layer two blank golf club shapes and adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere a stamped image to the top. This creates dimension and a sturdier piece that will layer nicely without bending. Repeat for the remaining 8 blank die cuts and 4 stamped die cuts.
  13. Stagger heights and flip to fit the five golf clubs onto centre panel. Adhere with Glue Dots.
  14. Add shield with Baker's Twine using the attached Stampin' Dimensionals.
TIPS: Use the Heat Tool to speed up the drying time for the Whisper White ink.
