You're One of a Kind

Hi all! I have a super quick post for you this morning. I filmed this video last weekend and am just now getting around to posting it. It’s been way too busy around here!

Anyhow, I posted a page not too long ago that had some “diagonal rays” made out of patterned paper. Quite a few of you asked how I cut the paper down to create it. So here we go! This is how I did it. :) There are lots of way to do this, but this is the way I made that scrapbook page. Enjoy! :)

BTW, I used BasicGrey’s Lemonade collection for the patterned papers. Aren’t they cute? And K&Co. Wild Raspberry Acetate Diecuts for the butterfly. :)

oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I ordered the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird pack so that I could scraplift your Remembering layout because I loved it so much but had no idea how to do the rays. Please put this card on Etsy…I want it!!! You are awesome, Kristina!

Naomi July 16, 2009 at 10:34 am

thank you so much for doing this. I guess I could picture it in my head how you made it. But seeing you “actually” do it just made it easier for me to figure it out. great technique!!!

Angie July 16, 2009 at 10:54 am

Kristina, I’ve been following you for so long, but don’t have my own blog, and so I didn’t know how to comment (technically challenged). I’m really hoping this reaches you. You are AMAZING and inspire me so much. I also live in Utah, and feel like you’re just one of my best friends down the street! You’re designs are fabulous, and your talent seems limitless. Beautiful card today; thank you!

Great video! I love this technique and was thinking of something to do with those excess pieces, since they are already cut to card size….this would be perfect for a set of 4 cards, each with a different arrangement of patterns–just cut each pattern at all the tick marks and you’ll have all the pieces in one go! Gotta try this. Thanks Kristina! :)

Jo July 16, 2009 at 11:12 am

Very pretty, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to mix those papers but you just have such a great eye for what works together! Thanks for the bonus video – you are so generous! Jo x

Linda E July 16, 2009 at 12:13 pm

Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tutorial!

Laurel Flechtner July 16, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Love this card! I’ve seen you use that hexagonal foam adhesive several times now and I’m wondering what brand that is. I’ve been using pop dots, but they’re a pain because I have to extract them from the frame around the dot. Would love to know what brand those sheets are! :)

Nina July 16, 2009 at 12:29 pm

I believe it’s Stampin’ Up! and they call them Stampin’ Dimensionals. :)

Laurel Flechtner July 16, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Great! Thanks so much! :)

Nina July 16, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Wow this is SO pretty. *swoonwithdelight* Need to make a card with diagonal rays – now! ;)

Kim Howard July 16, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Great card, love the diagonal rays!

Marta F July 16, 2009 at 1:09 pm

I loved the original page and the card is just as gorgeous – gotta try it! Thanks for showing how to cut the rays – super cool. Marta

Carolyn July 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Oh thank you so much for this video. I want to do a lay for a challenge at the LSS about my son and his smile. I am inspired by your layout and card. I know exactly what and how to do it:) How and Where do you get your inspirations from?

Devon July 16, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Thank you so much for showing us how to do that! I loved the original layout and wanted to know how to cut the paper in rays, but I’m such a visual learner. That’s probably why I love your videos so much! (And I loved your spelling oops! I’m a 2nd grade teacher and it totally cracked me up!)

Don’t you just love that Lemonade line? I bought some even though I only have boys, so I guess it will all become cards for my girlfriends now!

Myran July 16, 2009 at 1:56 pm

Sooo beautiful! As always =)

Harriet Hensley July 16, 2009 at 2:18 pm

absolutely gorgeous and you make it look effortless….going to go make one…

thanks

Thank you so much for the tri-weekly inspiration!

mj July 16, 2009 at 2:44 pm

wow … what a gorgeous card! looks fun to make too! :)

Agnieszka July 16, 2009 at 4:18 pm

Thank you very much for this video. As soon as I saw your ‘remember LO’ I wanted to use it on a card. I used graph paper to cut out templates for the rays. But it didn’t work out so well. Your way is so much better and neat. Here’s a link to the card I made

Cathy July 16, 2009 at 7:09 pm

What a beautiful card! I will have to try that technique.

jennifer July 16, 2009 at 7:30 pm

i’m a plain tshirt and jeans type, but my heart went flutter over those embellishments. sometimes glitter is just divine, no?

thanks for the demo!

Judy July 16, 2009 at 8:44 pm

What a beautiful card. I love the colors and the butterfly just went on there nicely. Thank you for the idea and video. You’re awesome. I just love your work. Thank for the demo.

Sue Bone July 17, 2009 at 5:38 am

Did you know remembering is misspelt on your layout? Another great video.

Kristina Werner July 17, 2009 at 7:39 am

Yes, I did. In fact I noted it in the video annotations, and in the blog entry where I originally shared the page. :)

Sara July 17, 2009 at 6:53 am

One of my favorites, your ideas really inspire me…Thanks!!

Judy July 17, 2009 at 8:02 am

Beautiful card and great concept. I just wanted to share that I would think if you cut each square with the different diagonials you could make 4 different variations of the card with the different pattern paper rays. Thanks for all the inspiration!

donna mikasa July 17, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Awesome technique! Thanks for a great video tutorial…looks like a beautiful quilt, indeed!

Marianne July 17, 2009 at 5:52 pm

That is a beautiful card! Love everything about it! You are so talented! I love to come read your blog.

Alice W. July 18, 2009 at 12:37 am

Cj July 18, 2009 at 8:30 am

Helen July 18, 2009 at 3:18 pm

Really beautiful!!!

L@ure July 19, 2009 at 10:43 am

Thank you for this tutorial! I realised a card (http://www.flickr.com/photos/32617522@N07/3734988343/in/pool-heroarts) and it’s was fun! Thank’s!

Kathy G July 25, 2009 at 10:38 pm

Thanks for the fantastic video. After I saw the video, it reminded me of the Stack n Wack technique in quilting. I knew you could use all the scraps to make four different cards with the same combination of pattern paper. I made a set of four inspired by your video. You can see them here (http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1425586?&cat=500&ppuser=93817)

Julie July 27, 2009 at 4:38 pm

I LOVE this, I finally got to try out this idea!
I cut out 4 peices to the same size and then cut them all at the tick marks, they came out perfect and it made me 4 cards at once!!!
Thanks for your videos they are awesome!!!
