Dough Globe?

>> Friday, December 17, 2010

by Julie Warner - The Write Stuff

Happy Friday!
Y'all know it's only 7 more shopping days til Christmas! I'm not finished but I think I need to shake up this dough globe and hope some falls out, lol. I think I've done some dashing thru the dough but I don't feel nearly as cheerful about it as this little guy looks. Too much dashing, I think.

Well, I'm not really sure how I arrived at this design, but somewhere along the line the word "shrink plastic" popped into my head. That was probably the most time consuming. Cutting out all those little plastic bills and shrinking them. I stamped them w/ Stazon on the shiny side first and colored the back sides w/ markers. And it is pretty cool to watch them shrink up. Kind of like my wallet lately, except for the cool part.

The globe part was cut with a couple of sizes of circle dies for the red and black frames and 1 large circle of acetate was attached underneath. I also cut 2 circle frames out of card board in order to have some space for the dough and Rudolph. The trees were stamped w/ a green rainbow pad and I used a glue pen and some transparent glitter all over for a little snowy sparkle. The bottom of the globe is another die cut I cut the bottom off and used a wood grain embossing folder on top then sponged a little ink over the raised parts.
The background on my 4.25 x 5.5 white card was stamped with the dough image and embossed with glittery powder. I used a red marker and a water brush to add the color to the sentiment and hand cut the arrow shape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Poly-Shrink... where have you been all my life???

>> Thursday, August 21, 2008



ok... not ALL my life...I did use it when I was uhhh...younger...but forgot about it and NEVER did I think I would use it on cards... was I WRONG! I got a new stamp drom DRS Designs, this cute little snowflake ribbon slide, and remembered one of the other talented design team members had used it on her card and a light went off. Where was that stuff??? Well, I dug it out, stamped the snowflake ribbon slide with white stazon and cut it out of the plastic. I used a horizontal punch to make the slide holes... DON'T forget the holes! Then I got the heat gun and got TOTALLY freak out when it started to shrink... but lo and behold, it cane out perfect... so I made a few more. I strung them on some silver cord and added them to the front of the card. I embossed shiny cardstock with snowflakes and sponged ink on the snowflakes so they would show up. I also stamped the snowfalke ribbon slide on some paper, cut the holes and added some ribbon. So there you have it... I hope you like this card... it was really fun to create!
