Stained Glass Technique

Hi Everyone,

there is an interesting challenge at CAS Mix-up - its about the stained glass technique. It looks amazing, doesn't it. Although honestly I would change the name to pained glass technique. It's a pain in the you know where..... to put together.


So you have been warned! LOL! But I persevered, although I wasn't quite sure why....I guess I know why. I knew it would look great in the end and be worth the effort - to send to somebody special, who appreciates it. As they have lots of tutorials over at the CAS Mix-up blog I spare you the details. The only difference on my card is that I used fun foam to build up the layers. Makes it a tad faster....



A detail shot for you to  see it better.
The triangles are by Altenew.
The background I made with a stencil by MFT (My Favorite Things). The sentiment is by Winnie & Walter.

Well, it's absolutely gorgeous even if it might have been a pain in the neck (?) to put together, Cornelia ... the vibrant colours are fantastic against the stencilled neutrals! Sorry not to be around ... and not to have commented on all your recent cards (though I've enjoyed them!). We've not had internet for almost a week (eek!) so now we're back online I'm playing a long and happy game of catch up! Hugs, Anita :)

Those triangles were a great die to do the technique with, Cornelia. I found one secret was to save the last layer until after all the GA was added because it can get all over the die cut.

So beautiful and modern looking. I love the colors and the shiny look you got to make them look like real glass.

Your gems are fantastic, Cornelia! Great idea to use foam instead of gluing lots of layers. I used sticky sheet myself. You certainly picked the right die to use and the perfect stencil! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

I love your colorful, shiny, modern-looking card, Cornelia! The dark stenciling in the background makes the faux stained glass colors really pop. Using the fun foam to build up the layers is a clever idea. (I'll do that next time. :-)) Thanks so much for sharing this beauty at CAS Mix Up!

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
