TLC331 ~ Name That Technique ~ (06/27/11)

[Toy]

Hi Stampers!

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been goofing around with different ideas for techniques. I have some of my most creative moments when I�m just playing with no result in mind. Sometimes I take an older technique and try to either update it or use the newer supplies and tools to make it easier.

~ Name That Technique ~

Today�s technique is in its infancy. In fact, it doesn�t even have a name yet! We�re going to have a little fun with that. First I�m going to tell you what to do�.

The idea is to create a sort of window with some of your image showing on the window frame.

• Stamp an image on cardstock (base image)
• Measure the image at its widest and tallest points
• Create a (what I�m calling) a negative mask using either dies or punches ~
  (mine looks like two window panes)
• Your cutouts need to be small enough to allow part of the image to spill onto the frame
• Stamp the same image on the negative mask
• Color your 1st image using coloring medium of your choice
• Color the parts of your image that show on the negative mask

** Try using different colors on the negative mask from what you use on the base

** Try embossing your frame or dressing it up in some other way.

Now here�s the fun part�. I�m asking for help in naming this technique! If you want to play along in the naming of the technique, please put your �name� in the description of your card upload.

Here's my sample:

~ Name that Technique ~

Please remember to use KEYWORD TLC331 (no spaces) on upload.

You can view the TLC331 gallery HERE.

Have fun!!

Here's mine Holly. It's called Outside Toy Box. I hope I got the gist of your challenge. I'm going to try again.

[LuvLee]

Holly, this sounds fun!! I can't stamp until tomorrow, but a name came to me.....Picture Window....so that's what I'll call mine! Now I seriously am lacking so much sleep I have to get some rest before I stamp! LOL

[jemur]

Too late to stamp tonight, but how about Over the Edge for the name of the technique?

[joan ervin]

What a cool technique, Holly...I have to work tomorrow so not much time to stamp but I thought of a name..peek-a-boo image...I have seriously had toooo many kids around this summer...LOL!!

[NANCYRUTH]

no time to play but i thought of a name from a Joni Mitchell song. Why not call your technique Both Sides Now? Looks like fun Holly!!!

[Biggan]

Thanks Holly for a fun challenge! Here�s mine;

Cross the Border

TFL!

[n5stamper]

Here is my WELCOME ABOARD.

[Pam Schwartz]

Cute idea and I love the few cards that have been posted thusfar. I'll have to give this a try later on.

[BarbieP]

Now this is an interesting challenge, Toy. Will be putting my thinking cap, and giving it a try later today!

Here's my suggestion for a name for your technique: Double Take. I may try it later on.

[Clownmom]

This was a fun challenge, Holly! Hope you can come up with a name!!! Here's my card:

Train Frame

[jdmommy]

Hi Holly. Here's mine:CAS125, TLC331, Over The Edge by jdmommy - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I called it Over The Edge, because it is, and aren't we all!!! LOL! Thanks!

[Greywolf]

A very cool technique! I couldn't come up with a name, but I do think the suggestion of "Over the Edge" is both catchy and descriptive. I'll try to play later.

[DawnL]

well, that was fun Holly! my "name" is kinda lame but the only thing I could think of! LOL

Spotlight In Reverse Hydrangea

[TrishG]

What a cool technique. I love window cards like that. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it someday.

The name "inside and out" popped into my head when I saw the samples.

If anyone is voting, I vote for jdmommy's name. Fits the technique to a "t", and as she said, we all feel like we are over the edge at times

[tunloop]

I haven't made a card yet to play along but looking through the gallery of uploads so far...the first thing that came to mind for a name of the technique is High Def Frames! It almost is as if the images come alive like images on an HDTV! I'm going to see if I can play along today, feeling a little under the weather!

Over the edge sounds like the perfect name for this tecnique. I am voting for jdmommy's name. it's perfect. we are stamping over the edge of the windows. "Over the Edge", I like it.

[swich1]

I think this is right....is it???

Calla Lily Sympathy Card

[steadybeadin]

I dont have time to make a card right now but i thought of a good name:Broken Window Technique.

[swich1]

I was thinking "inside out frame" as I was making mine

[by ann]

What a fun and clever technique! Can't wait to try it. How about "OUTSIDE THE BOX" for the technique name?

[Cook22]

Fun technique. It reminded me a bit of the Reverse Spotlight, except that we were colouring both layers. And the fact that I was happy with my TLC331 Framed Snowmen by Cook22 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers whereas the time I tried Reverse Spotlight I threw it in the bin.
Thanks, Holly.

[DianeStampsandScraps]

Love this card! How about Painted Window Panes for a name.

[hobbydujour]

Took me awhile to get to the TLC this AM, Holly. I like the technique very much. I vote for "Over the Edge" too as a name. Thanks for another fun Monday.

OVER THE EDGE

[ladybug91743]

I don't have time to make a card today but I like the idea that jemur and jdmommy gave and that is "over the edge". ladybug91743

[cbeduasst]

I gave it a shot. Here's my bird of peace card.

[mamaxsix]

Maybe Framed Spotlighting? I don't know about the name, but I think it is a cool idea for a technique. Here's my Embedded Petals where I combined embossing, inset embossing and the challenge technique.

[BarbieP]

Finally got to play. Here is mine:

TLC Bucket Full of Flowers by BarbieP - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[HamiltonGal]

Well I didn't come up with a name, but had a lot of fun following the directions

Here's my card - TFL!

[PaisleyOcean]

I vote "Over the Edge". Mine is still in the works.

[Shadow's Mom]

Thanks Holly!

Here's my Black and White.

[Luv Flowers]

I did a card for both challenges. Here it is, CAS125, TLC331, Fun Challenges by Luv Flowers - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[deannestewartmills]

I am a bit vague today - how do you get the 2 images to line up perfectly or does it not really matter where it gets stamped onto the frame?

TIA.

[LuvLee]

Ok.....I thought of a new name as I made my card for this challenge.....Over The Brim!!!!

[MattsGirl]

What an interesting challenge! I really struggled with this one! I had to walk away for awhile and then come back to it, but in the end I am happy with it! Thanks again for a great challenge....this really got me way outside my little zone!

Here is my card:

I used my stamp-a-ma-jig.

[AnniePanda]

Here's mine - may not be like what others have done, but I rather like the way it turned out!
Congratulations Hatchling
