Technique Tuesday classes - Wonderful Wheels

This month I had a request to show the Stampin' Around Wheels ... which was wonderful timing because in September both my upline and the Regional Conference I attended had showcased some new ways to think about the wheels!

The technique card we will be practicing on gives participants a chance to practice the 'framing' with the wheel.

Card number 1 ... I could not resist a little Halloween sample to show off the framing of the Stampin' Around Spiderweb wheel paired with the Wicked Cool stamp set and featuring Peach Parfait, Concord Crush colours.

Card number 2 showcases the Stampin' Around Wheel Very Vintage paired with the punch mask technique. Sentiment pairs the Perfect Punch stamp set sentiment and the Elements of Style sentiment which fit together layering perfectly with the Extra large and large Scalloped circle punches and 1 1/4 circle punch. Faux ribbon created with the Eyelet border punch and crimper. Colour combo is River Rock, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist with some pearls for bling factor!

Stamp Around Wheels

These are cards designed by my upline Liz Goldhawk ... as a member of her team I am blessed to attend team meetings and technique classes with her so we can stretch our creative souls and grown our businesses together - just another example of the wonderful supportive atmosphere Stampin' Up promotes!

This month we were working with the Stamp Around Wheels - something I admit I had not yet really played with and am so excited now at the versatility of these wonderful tools!

The first card we made showcased how to use the Baroque Border wheel (although any abstract patterned wheel will work) to create a frame using a paper mask technique .... doesn't it make such a pretty card!

This second card was TOTALLY rocking... using the Very Vintage jumbo wheel we rolled the image on the background Marina Mist paper and than on the Whisper White strip we used a mask that Liz created using the different size Circle punches and placed this over the paper and rolled the Vintage wheel over it and then highlighted the circles with a Stamp Write maker - totally cool effect! The top layer is using the Vintage Vogue Stamp set flowers in Cherry Cobbler and vines in Marina Mist. The cool Cherry Cobbler paper accent ribbon is made with our Ribbon punch.
