Christmas card with Chocolate!

Here's another Christmas card we made at my recent Stamp A Stack, where everyone made 4 cards each of 4 designs. We stamped some envelopes to match, and they look great together!

This card uses the following products from Stampin' Up:

Stamps: Sweet Season

Cardstock & Markers: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive

Accessories: Top Note Big Shot die, small Tag punch, small Oval punch, and Real Red striped grosgrain ribbon

The original design for this card was by Joanne Oszenaris. Thanks for the inspiration Joanne!

Suede ornaments!

Happy Christmas Card making!

Here’s a card I made using the Movers & Shapers Die, as well as the Ornament Punch, and Delightful Decorations stamp set from the Holiday Mini. It is on Soft Suede and Whisper White cardstock. I used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to stamp the small snowflakes, and also added a little shimmer on the ornament with the paint, and punched the bottom with the Eyelet Border Punch.  The ribbon is Soft Suede Polka Dot.

Hope you like it!

Movers & Shapers

Here's a card I made a while ago, using the new Movers and Shapers Big Shot die.

The colors are: Real Red, Old Olive, and Bashful Blue. I used the Scallop Edge punch, Certainly Celery prints DSP, and 1" Bashful Blue Double-Stitched grosgrain ribbon. I used the Rock & Roll technique to get 2 colors of ink on the stamped image, and a White Gel Pen to do the stitching aroung the heart.

I LOVE the Movers & Shapers die, and how many things you can do with it. I can't wait to use it in my scrapbook for some peek-a-boo windows!  

Hope you like it!

Happy Father's Day!

 

Here's a Father's Day card we made at stamp club recently. I love the masculine look and feel to this one. And it is hubby approved!

I used the All Holidays stamp set to stamp the sentiment on Basic Grey cardstock in Versamark ink, heat embossing it with Silver embossing powder. Then I ran the Basic Grey cardstock thru my Big Shot, using the texture plate called Distressed.

I also ripped the Whisper White piece, and added some silver embossing along the ripped edge by rubbing it on my versamark ink, and heat embossing that with silver too.

The Pewter Jumbo eyelets were added using the Crop-A-Dile, and I crumpled the edges of the cardstocks for a distressed look and feel. Topped it off with some Natural Hemp Twine, and it's done!

Hope you like it!

Watercolor Spritz!

Love this technique I learned recently! Isn't it pretty?

 

I used my Big Shot, and the Impressions folder called Manhattan Flower to emboss onto Shimmery White cardstock. Then I rubbed the Versamark ink pad over the raised areas (carefully) and heat embossed that with clear embossing powder. Next step is to spritz the carstock with water (quite a bit) to create some little puddles in the lower sections. Using an aquapainter (or a paintbrush), dab bits of re-inker colors into the sections. The color spreads into the puddles, and it looks so neat! Let is air-dry for at least 30 minutes, and then cut around the image, keeping the sections that turn out the best.

 

 

 

On these projects I also added:

Whisper White cardstock base, punched with the Eyelet Border Punch, added some 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (in Regal Rose/Brocade Blue), and added a white half-back pearl from the Pretties Kit. The colors of re-inkers I used are: Regal Rose/Pretty in Pink/Cameo Coral, and on the blue version: Brocade Blue, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue. 

For the sentiment, I used the Dreams du Jour stamp set , inked it with the markers (same color combos as above) as well as Certainly Celery. 

So Summery! 

Have a great day!

Matchbox Dresser

Here's a cute little project made from the Matchbox Big Shot Die. it is perfect for storing little things like candies, earrings, or even diamond rings!  These are just 3 matchboxes, stacked up, and attached with Sticky Strip. I used Rhinstone Brads for the handles, and added a 1/2 inch circle punched from vellum behind the brad. Then, I made an embossed cover to go around the outside of all of them. The colors are Certainly Celery, and Regal Rose.

 

I made these as "snacking gifts" for all my downline demonstrators that joined me at the Stampin' Up Seattle regional seminar recently.  I thought it would be nice to have a little sugar to snack on while we were sitting at our table watching the demonstrations :)

 

And here are the goodies I put inside....jelly bellies, caramels, and of course, chocolate!

 

Here we are, enjoying some candy! And, of course, the fabulous stamping ideas!

 

I have also made a five-drawer one that my kids loved so much, they all made their own versions! My boys are using them to store lego-men parts, and my daughter is storing her earrings in them :) Very cute!

Hope you have a great weekend!
