10/29 Tip Thursday - Scoring

Please check out 2020 Halloween pumpkin carving, Child Yoda, by clicking here. 

Welcome to a Tip Thursday. I'm Melissa, nickname "Sunshine HoneyBee", an independent Close To My Heart CTMH Consultant, and I want to share some tips I have learned in a weekly tutorial named Tip on Thursday.

Please check out my CTMH site and order wonderful items like what I use. Please let me know if you found this helpful.

For this Tip on Thursday I am sharing a tip about using a scoring board & scoring tool.

1. Cut 2 mitten patterns same size (1 to be a duplicate of white cardstock and be the base, 2nd to be the top layer). You can use a Cricut image, Close To My Heart Artiste  Mitten, like I did. Set aside the 1 duplicate base for later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Use a score board & score tool to score the cuff of mitten.  Line the cuff up, using washi tape to hold in place and score at each 1/8" interval.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Use adhesive to place the piece(s) on the base. You can use either side of the scored cuff depending on your preference; just make sure you have the correct side of the mitten when attaching to the base.

Ice Skate Ornament

Please check out 2020 Halloween pumpkin carving, Child Yoda, by clicking here.

When I moved to TX I took beginner ice skating lessons at an indoor mall skating rink thru the city recreation center. Enjoyed it so much I signed up & took the 2nd level which was jumps & spins.

2 years ago a person was giving the ice skates free you see below in photo that fit me wonderfully.

Made the ice skate ornament using a Cricut cartridge, Winter Woodland. Inked the edges to show some wear on the skate and added ribbon & a silver jingle bell. Hardest part was threading the ribbon thru the jingle bell. Used the Cricut pick tool to push & grab the ribbon thru the jingle bell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies

cardstock/paper: black, gray, red, white

Cricut: cartridge - Winter Woodland  Ice Skate  3 1/2"

  machine - Explore Air

other: silver jingle bell

ribbon: red/white

Here is this year, 2020 Halloween Pumpkin hubby carved - Child Yoda. Since subscribing to the Disney Channel and watching The Mandolorian I have become fond of Child Yoda. When I saw the first Star Wars movie I liked Yoda.

Hubby used graphite paper to transfer the pattern  from paper onto the pumpkin. In past he used a push pin to mark the pattern but that takes longer. He used a black Sharpie to color parts of pattern not carved. He uses a dremmel tool to carve and in some areas only shave away part of the pumpkin. Hubby said the eyes & mouth were the hardest parts.

10/22 Tip Thursday - DieCut then Stamp & Inking Edges

 Welcome to a Tip on Thursday. I'm Melissa, nickname "Sunshine HoneyBee", an independent Close To My Heart CTMH Consultant, and I want to share some tips I have learned in a weekly tutorial named Tip on Thursday.

Please check out my CTMH site and order wonderful items like what I use. Please let me know if you found this helpful.

For this Tip on Thursday I am sharing a tip about die cutting, then stamping image and inking edges. Times when your image has more white space than you want to be seen you can ink it up.

 

1. First use washi tape to secure the die on cardstock.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Use a MISTI or block to set up for stamping placing the negative down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Place the stamp inside the edges of where the die was cut out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Ink up the stamp. I forgot to photo after ink on stamp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Place the die cut image back inside the negative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Stamp the image. You can see on right side where there is some white on edge that you do not want to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 7.  Remove stamped image from MISTI or block. You can see the white right edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Using a dauber apply ink to the right edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. With inking the edges look better.
