Polished Stone Tutorial

Tutorials/Tips

1 Sep

Last week when I taped my Rubber Cement Tutorial I went ahead and also did my Polished Stone video and my Faux Wood Sheets tutorial at the same time (I will show you that one next week).  I figured I might as well do them all at one time since I had the phones turned off, the fans off, the a/c, and the computer off too. It is amazing what that camera mic picks up.

So today's tutorial is Polished Stone. It's a technique that has been around for a long time, but it is nice to re-visit some oldies.  Especially when I am doing technique classes each month, there are lots of people that have not done some of these, and it is nice to update them a bit too. 

DSCN8577 copy Here is the finished card, I had posted it on my blog earlier but this way you don't have to click around to see it.

Stamp Set: Made 2 Last
Paper: Pixie Pink, Apricot Appeal, Whisper White, Glossy, Green Galore
Ink: Basic Black, Pixie Pink, Apricot Appeal
Misc:
Rubber Cement, Organza ribbon, Finial press embossing folder,
Playground buttons, alcohol, leaf die, black gingham ribbon,
dimensionals, daisies 2 die

The finished card is a standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 sized card.  Marilyn emailed me and asked if I could tell the sizes of my finished cards.  That is a super idea, and I apologize for not doing that…I just have to make my old brain remember now.

If there is anything you want to see, just let me know.  I have a request for a tutorial from Renee, and I am going to do it in a couple weeks.

Well that's it for me, have a super Tuesday, can you believe it is September 1 already? My oh my!

Thanks for stopping in.

    Another great tutorial. You should put them all on a DVD and sell them. Any chance you could do a tutorial on the shutter fold card? (I think that's what it's called, I'll have to go back to your blog post and see for sure.)

    Thank you so much for this Tutorial. It is funny I saw a card using this techique today and wrote to the person asking her to assist me in learning the technique. She hasn't returned my cry for help BUT you did – fate!! Thanks so much once again.

    Diana,
    I must have looked through the Idea Book & Catalog over and over and can't believe I missed that set, "Made 2 Last". The card and tutorial was absolutely fabulous. I love polished stone, glad you brought it back. So many techniques, so little time. Sigh !!!

    Thanks so much for sharing your videos.
    Marge

    Thanks for the tutorial! 🙂 Could you do one for the flowers though? I'd love to come to your classes but…its kind of far 😉 since I live in a suburb of Chicago.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
