Monarch and Milkweed

Hidy Ho Teaspoon Fans,

Today Teaspoon of Fun is bringing you a card I created using the Weaving Fancy Die along with our New Monarch and Milkweed Combo.   Let’s take a look at what I picked for you today….

STAMPWHEEL

Stampwheel Sticky Mat

Stampwheel Center Alignment Guides

Monarch & Milkweed Combo

Weaving Fancy Die

Cross Stitch Nesting Ovals

Hello Dear Friend

Black Hybrid Ink

Copic Markers

Colors I used:

Milkweed – RV 34, RV91, RV95

Stem – E33, Y23

Leaves & Caterpillar – Y11, G21, BG75

Micron Archival Fine Tip Pen

Tim Holtz 6″ Haberdashery Scissors

Fine Tip Tweezers

Retractable Pick

Crease Tool

Ranger Craft Scraper

Deluxe Adhesive

EZ Grand Tape Runner

Thin White Foam Squares

I cut out the ovals using our Cross Stitch Nesting Ovals dies.  I adhered them together with our EZ Grand Tape Runner.  Cut out three Hello Dear Friend dies and adhere them together with our Deluxe Adhesive.  Lay the sentiment onto one set of the ovals and set aside.  

Using the STAMPWHEEL, stamp the Monarch & Milkweed Combo  with our Black Hybrid Ink then color with our Copic Markers (colors I used are listed above).  I also used the Micron Archival Fine Tip Pen for details on the caterpillar.  I used our Thin White Foam Squares to adhere the flower to the ovals.  Set this aside. 

Now let’s work on our gorgeous Weaving Fancy Die .  I cut three frames in different colors and wove them together.  SOOOOOOO pretty.  Mix and match your colors.  I’ve shown some examples below and how you can change up your weave patterns.

This is how the initial weave looks.  It’s fast and fun.  Add some Deluxe Adhesive to the back of the frame and adhere it to your card base.  Using your cutter or our Tim Holtz 6″ Haberdashery Scissors, trim off the ends.

Did you ever use a loom when you were a child to make pot holders?  So much fun and fantastic memories! 

Awwwww yes NOW you remember!!!!  They were so much fun and I still have some I made my mom when I was a kid.  CLICK HERE to see the kit.

Here are some other examples of our Weaves…..

Here are two examples of different combinations.  You can weave the red, white and blue or you can take the strips and just lay them in the panels onto your card base.

I love the black and white one … I weaved only a few strips then adhered to the white card base.

(see below for a closeup)

Cut out your black Weaving Fancy Die, then weave only 4 of the strips and add to your card base.  The different possibilities are endless.

Now here’s another way to play with this die.  Cut two panels of different colors.

Offset them so they fit in the blank panel.  Glue them together and adhere to your card base.  Trim off each end.

Stay tuned for a LOT more with this Weaving Die we carry in our Teaspoon of Fun Shop.
