Technique Series - Rock and Roll

When I was shown this technique many years ago I was so excited. The Rock and Roll technique is a great way to add a variation of colour to your stamped images.



I made so many of my Christmas cards using this design.

Rock and Roll

I am a great fan of techniques and last year I did this Rock and Roll technique in my class. I had forgotten how lovely it looks until Stampin' Up! put up this video



I think I may have to have another class on it this year and get others excited about this great little technique.

Swinging is fun

Well it wasn't a dance but anyone passing by would have thought there was a party going on last night. My Friday night girls are naughty, they had far too much fun.

The class technique for May was how to make a Swing card and also the Rock and roll technique. The first card was the Swing card. Instead of using the cutting tool, we used the Big Shot and the Window Frames Collection framelit die to cut the swing shape. Then it was embossed front and back and then embellished with the cute little umbrella from the Rain or Shine stamp set. The front of the swing had  rain drops with the sentiment, "thoughts of you" and the back had the umbrella with a sponged sun with the sentiment "rain or shine". The back of the card had the sentiment "makes me happy".
