Another favorite thing of mine from the Holiday Catalog is the Festival of Trees Bundle. I had a class last month and we made two Gift Card Enclosures using this bundle and two Christmas Cards. I'll post the card over the next two blog post.

I stamped the trees in versa mark and then embossed with clear embossing powder, I also created the same enclosure but embossed with white embossing powder. The belly band was created using the All is Calm DSP paper. I also embossed a few trees on the inside and added a few more snowflakes.

Supply List:

Stamp Set: Festival of Trees

Paper: Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, All is Calm DSP, Whisper White

Ink:VersaMark, Lost Lagoon

Accessories: Tree Punch, Snowflake Card Thinlits Die, Linen Thread, Rhinestones, Cherry Cobbler Blendebliites, Gift Card Enclosure

I am in love with the new Gift Card Enclosures. They are so quick and easy to decorate and fit any occasion, weddings, birthday, anniversary graduations, etc. This one I created for Christmas but you could easy change the inside greeting to fit your special occasion.

I used the Star Mask and daubed Real Red ink on the out side of the Enclosure, so fast and very cute don't you think.

The inside is just as easy to decorate and I love the little slits that are already cut just waiting for your gift card. Really it doesn't get much easier then this.

Supply List:

Stamp Set: Endless Wishes, Good Greeting
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black
Paper: Real Red, Very Vanilla, Gold Glimmer

Accessories: Kraft Gift Card Enclosure, Star Framlits, Vintage Buttons, Bitty Banner Framlits, Hearts & Star Masks, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Real Red 3/8” Satin Ribbon, Sponge Daubers,

Freaky Friends

2014-09-09T02:00:00.000-04:00

This set "Freaky Friends" remind me of Monsters Inc., I love that movie! I use to watch it a lot with my 2 year old granddaughter; cuddle time. She is now 7 and still loves to cuddle her with Grandma. :o))

I made my own little banners for this card, I wanted a different size then the Banner Framelits make. Check out the inside of the card.

I need to design a second card using this idea. I won this set at the Annual Catalog Premier in Orlando. This is the first time I used it, I just couldn't figure out what to do with.

Here are the items used to create this card.

Gift Box Punch Board

2014-09-07T16:40:00.001-04:00

Oh my goodness, I love this punch board!

The first thing I did when I received my Gift Box Punch Board was to make every box sizes out of all the different papers that Stampin' Up! offers.

DSP

Heavy Kraft Paper

Vellum

Card Stock

Window Sheets

Foil Paper

This weekend I work on a few new projects. It feels like forever since I really spent the whole weekend playing with paper and it really has refreshed my spirit.

With Halloween right around the corner I decided to play with the Gift Box Punch Board and the new holiday bundle "Fall Fest" & "Fun Fall Framelits Dies.

If you bundle and use the item #137628 you'll save 15%. Why wouldn't you want those wonderful framelits to cut out all the cute stamps, no fussy cutting: love framelits! I made this cute little Halloween Box, the pumpkin faces make me smile and I wish for cooler weather here in Florida.

I made a 2.5" x 2.5" x 4" box using the Box Punch Board which made this quick and easy. I only used the corner rounder on two of the opposite top tabs and then punched a 1/4" whole in the other two tabs to run the ribbon through.

I decorated the box using the Fringe Scissors to make the grass and then the Fall Fest stamp set and Fun Fall Framelits to cut all the pumpkins and leaves; so quick and easy. The tag was made with the new "Note Tag Punch" which is also offered in a bundle on page 13 of your Holiday Catalog. The sentiment comes for the new set called "And Many More" page 20 of the Annual Catalog. Take a good look at this set, it has a sentiment for everything, a must have on my list.

"Autumn Wooden Elements" are great little embellishments perfect for all your fall cards and gifts.

I decorated all 4 sides of the box. Use the Fall Bundle for your Thanksgiving items, just leave the face off the pumpkins.

Here are the items that I used to create this fun little box.

Beautiful New Designer Series Paper!

Would you love to have all the patterns and colors at your fingertips. Well I have the answer for you that is way cheaper then ordering every package of DSP Paper from the New 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! Catalog.

Designer Series Paper Share

There are 8 packages of DSP Paper, 2 packages of Specialty DSP, 2 packs of DSP Paper Stacks (they are 4 1/2” x 6 1/2”) and Heavier Kraft Cardstock: see list below.

I will order them all and then cut the 12x12 packages into 6x6 pieces and you will get a square of each design from each pack. The pieces won't be identical because of the way the patterns are printed on the DSP, but you will still get an awesome assortment to create with. For the paper stacks you will get a 4 1/2” x 6 1/2” piece of each design as well. You will also receive 6 6x6 pieces of the new Heavier Kraft Cardstock. I can’t wait to run this through my big shot.

In the Forest

2014-03-03T13:40:00.001-05:00

I fell in love with this cute little set "Life in the Forest!" Using this set I made this adorable card.

There's the fox hiding in the tall grass at the forest edge.

I don't know why it looks blue behind the tall grass, I think it's because of the lighting when I took the picture.

I used watercolor paper and I stamped the trees in Stazon Ink and colored them with ink pads and a blender pen. I took a smaller piece of watercolor paper and stamped with Stazon Ink the fox and fussy cut him out and also colored him with a blender pen. I created the tall grass using the fringe scissors and hid the fox in the tall grass.

This set is also available in MDS with a couple of additional images.

Stamp: Life In the Forest

Ink: Old Olive, Cajan Craze, Early Espresso

Paper: Watercolor Paper, Old Olive, Basic Black

Accessories: Fringe Scissors, Blender Pen

Spooky Banner!

2013-10-04T10:10:00.000-04:00

I started with my color choice, Witches Brew DSP and added Elegant Eggplant to Summer Starfruit and Pumpkin Pie.

Then the fun began! Using rubbing alcohol and re-inker I made my dyes for the canvas banner. Layout your design first on paper since there are three styles of canvas to choose from. That way you can alternate colors and canvas shapes before you start dyeing. I used about 25 drops of re-inker to 1/4 cup of alcohol, you can add more or less re-inker depending on your choice of saturation. I think I add 10 additional drops to the Summer Starfruit.

Disposable tin trays for the dye, made clean up very easy.

Some of the canvases were completely dyed and others were left white. I used a heat gun to dry then completely before re-dyeing the bottom half of each banner.

This canvas was completely dyed with Elegant Eggplant and the bottom was re-dyed to make it darker.

This canvas was not dyed but the bottom half was dyed with Summer Starfruit.

Here is the competed "Spooky" banner. It was a class that I offered in September, it took about 4 hours to complete the project and everyone had a great time. They had so much fun that they designed a Christmas Banner that we'll make this month. So check back the end of the month for all the details on the Christmas banner. I'll have some very cute ideas to share with you.

2013-09-25T09:59:00.002-04:00

It's taken me a while to warm up to the Photopolymer Stamp Sets but I am finding them very easy to use. I love that I can see right where the ink is going; it's so easy to line up letters and words. They cling to the acrylic blocks very easily and clean up nicely.

Yesterday Stamp Up introduced a new set: "Bite Me", it's so stinking cute! It may be that it features a halloween set and I'm a little crazy for this holiday. Judge for yourself....isn't the spider web spooky! Love Love Love this set.

Ghosting Technique

Spinner Bat

This month club we tried the Ghosting Technique, it adds dimension to your stamped image. You can use this technique with any stamp set but it really added a little extra spooky to the Halloween Cards.

I used the new Flip Flop Thinlits to create both card. Thinlits make it so easy to create a flip flop card because they cut and score in just one simple step. They also come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on all kinds of projects.

Stamp Sets: Halloween Hello, Halloween Bash
Ink: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Witches Brew DSP
Accessories: Label Flip Thinlits, Circle Flip Thinlits, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Label Collection Framelits, 1/8" Pumpkin Pie Ribbon, White Baker's Twin

MDS Hybrid Project

2013-09-08T20:00:00.000-04:00

Yes, a Hybrid!

Can you believe this is a hybrid project.....yes it is! The center of the rosettes are from the Pick Your Poison Brush Set in MDS. I resized and printed all the elements out on very vanilla card stock stock and them punched them out with different size circle punches and the Label Collection Framelits.

If you look close you can see that we applies the Witches Brew Washi Tape to the Black rosette before it was folded. Happy Stamping!

Holiday Bash, Joyful Joyful Christmas II

2013-09-06T12:47:00.002-04:00

The second card was also created using the Joyful Christmas Set along with the New Circle Collection Framelits.

I’m so happy that we now have a circle and square collection framelits, they are so easy to use with all the different sizes and they coordinate with our circle or square punches. Now you can make square or circle frames. Its so easy to create so many fun cards and gifts tags with them. The Circle and Square Collection Framelits are a must have, they are so worth the investment.

We also used the new 1/4” Silver Ribbon, its beautiful and it pairs well with our new silver ink and rhinestones. It really add a touch of "Bling" to your project.

This set has everything you need to create beautiful Christmas card; a beautiful poinsettia and verse. Thank for visiting and happy stamping!
