Have you seen the cute Snow Festival Designer Printed Tags in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog?
Snow Festival Designer Printed Tags #128152
While they are really fun just as tags I wanted to use them on a card. So my card swap for my PAWS meeting Saturday night did just that.
I used a Crumb Cake card base and then a layer of Cherry Cobbler that I embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder. I stamped the tags with a greeting before adding them to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. And do you see what’s tied around my card? Do you know what that is? I unraveled the Gumball Green Sweater Trim and then tied it around the card for a fun playful accent. Here are a couple of other versions –
Look at this cute stamp called Frightening Feline!
it’s a single stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. A cat made up of lots of Halloween words – icky, sticky, spooky, zombies, yikes, scream, eek, darkness, and on and on. The rest of the card – Basic Gray card base, First Edition Designer Series paper (sponged with some Basic Gray), Howlstooth & Scaring bone Designer Series Paper, 1/2″ Striped Satin Black/Gray Ribbon, a Pumpkin Pie button tied with some Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine, Basic Black card stock cut with the Labels Framelits, and Very Vanilla card stock stamped first with the Frightening Feline in Basic Gray and then cut with the Labels Framelits and sponged. To finish the cat add some googlies for the eyes and a little knot of Pumpkin Pie ribbon. Now that wasn’t so scary was it?
Halloween is creeping into the stores very quickly – I saw lots of themed snacks today – cookies, gummies, pop-tarts, and more. See ya later……
Just a quick post for today showing this pretty fall card using the French Foliage stamp set and the new Core’dinations card stock.
This card was not my idea – but right this minute I can’t find where I got it from. I’m pretty sure I copied it pretty close to the original one that I saw. I thought Pinterest would help me find where I get ideas from but this one I didn’t see on my boards so I’m not sure where it came from now. The card base is Crumb Cake and then a layer of the new Core’dinations card stock in Early Espresso – it was embossed with the new Woodgrain Embossing folder! And then I sanded it just a bit more – it really looks like wood! The stamped piece used French Foliage and I used the Rock ‘n’ Roll technique on the leaves – so ink in one color and then roll the edges in another – so on here I have More Mustard with Cherry Cobbler, and then Cherry Cobbler with Early Espresso.
Lots to do today – tonight Cindy and I are having an intro class for My Digital Studio 2! It’s going to be fun. I’m making little cupcakes and picks to go in them like I had at my Getaway Party. Oh speaking of which I got a UPS notice that I have a package coming from the company that organizes the Stampin’ Up! incentive trips. That must mean something is coming for the Getaway Trip that I get to go at the end of this month! Now to patiently wait until UPS delivers it on Monday! I wonder what it will be? And if you happen to know – don’t tell me I want to be surprised!
Are you ready? I made another video! This was a fun technique that I taught at my Hands-On class last month. The class was all about Baker’s Twine and different ways to use it. In this video I’m going to show you how I used Baker’s Twine to make a cool stamp! I’m still learning how to create videos so sorry for the shadow puppets at the beginning, and for moving off the screen a couple of times. Hopefully you can hear me better – I tried to talk louder – that was the most common comment from my first video. I learn something new every time!
Here is the card that I’ll be showing you. You can see the original post for this card HERE.
I hope you enjoy the video and this fun technique!
Let me know what you think. Could you hear me better?
A rainbow card today. I told you the other day I had lots of rainbow things going on and this was one of them. This one is slightly different because I used the Summer Smooches Designer Series paper so a couple of the colors in my rainbow changed – O became Tangerine Tango, G is Lucky Limeade and then BI is Island Indigo.
This card idea came from another demonstrator (Colleen Vassos) that won one of the monthly art contests that Stampin’ Up! has. Each month the winners are published in our demonstrator only magazine called Stampin’ Success. It’s packed full of ideas and projects and there are ideas and MDS articles as well as business tips for us. I read it cover to cover every month.
Cut the strips of DSP and attach to a piece of card stock and layer that on the Crumb Cake card base. I used the paper flowers with a Rich Razzleberry button in the center – tied with some white baker’s twine. The Teeny Tiny Wishes set adds the greeting that was punched with the Word Window punch. She sure did create a cute card!
And finally I did record another video today. I’m going to try to edit so that I can post on Wed but it may be Friday.
Hey everyone! It’s Thursday and time for a new weekly challenge at Create with Connie & Mary. This week we have a color challenge – Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, and Lucky Limeade – some very rich looking colors.
This card idea came from a sample in the Stampin’ Success magazine. The magazine sample used different stamps and different colors but a similar layout and I really liked the bottom that resembled a picket fence. So I decided to use the idea for my card this week. Then I added this card to my Card Maker’s club that I had yesterday.
To make the picket fence I first punched the scallop edge on my strip of card stock. Then I used the Simply Scored Tool to score in between each scallop. Next I folded on all the score lines and I ran each fold through my Whisper White craft ink pad.
