It's that time again...yep...time for another Artisan Wednesday WOW blog hop. Just in case you are joining us for the first time, let me explain. Each week the ten members of the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team post projects that are created primarily from a box of goodies we receive monthly from Stampin 'Up! Our blog hop makes a complete circle. At the end of every post there is a "next" button that will take you to the next blog until you end up back where you started. If you are hopping, then you should have arrived here from Cindy Schuster's blog. And don't forget to check back during the week because we are also sharing our Leadership Display projects too.
The projects we are sharing today are the ones that were featured on the Stampin' Up! Facebook page this past Friday. When we share our projects on Facebook, we don't always get to explain how we made something, so this is your chance to find out more. For my project I made these fun party poppers made with Kaleidoscope DSP and the Envelope Punch Board. You might recall a similar project from a few months ago. I probably need to point out that the pink crepe paper streamers were closer in color to Melon Mambo, instead of the Strawberry Slush color that is part of the DSP, so I substituted one sheet of Melon Mambo DSP for one of the poppers.
I haven't made a video in a while because of camera difficulties, but my husband purchased me a new video camera and I thought I would try it out. One thing about my videos...they are really more like classes than quickie videos. So be prepared to spend some time learning how and why I do things. You might even want to finish the blog hop first and then come back when you have time to invest about 20-25 minutes. I see a big trend in video tutorials where they try to give you the details in just a minute or two, but that really isn't my style and it isn't helpful to new stampers and paper crafters. I have done my best to keep the project moving, but if you already know how to do some things, the skip over the parts you already understand. This project has a lot of steps, so I broke it down into to separate tutorials. The first video is how to make the box. The second video deals with the embellishment on the front and ties the entire project together.
I hope you have enjoyed today's project. Now be sure to hop on over to see what Erica Cerwin and the rest of the design team have created.
