I’ve written about Ryan Staub before…he is a fabulous glass blower based in Washington. He visits Los Angeles when Patty Gray comes into town to teach where he does roll ups for her. For those that don’t know what a roll up is, it’s when you take a fused glass panel and the glass blower rolls it up and blows it into a spectacular vase. Watching him work is one of the reasons I’m interested in learning how to blow glass. I’m on his mailing list so I just received an email about his deal for roll ups. that brought me over to his web site and I just fell in love with his art. So now I’m sharing it with all of you. Feast!! Such good stuff…and then there’s the cane company he’s got too.

How to Make a Tri-Fold Spring Bird Card
Add some interest to your card making with a tri-fold design. A tri-fold card has three sections that overlap in a zig zag to create dimension and a little extra interactive element to the design instead of a traditional single fold card. Ilina used new stamps and dies from Hero Arts to create her Tri-fold Spring Birds Card.
The bottom layer of her design is the first flap and it’s got die cut grass, purple flowers and the heat embossed white sentiment, the next layer has different pink flowers and the two birds sitting on a hill, the last layer is the inside of the card with a hedge of greenery where you can add a hand written or stamped sentiment inside. She used markers to add additional color to her images. You can watch her video tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog.
