Merry Christmas- Garden Snowmen Fun!

Hi Stampers!

I had a chance to play in my craft area last night and pulled out a few of my favorite retired Stampin’ Up! snowmen sets to have some marker fun  :-)

The first card was created was a Clean and Simple card using the CQC270 ColourQ Challenge along with The Card Concept #24 Snowman (Make A Tag) Challenge and the Splitcoaststampers WT507 "Easy Does It" Challenge.

  

If you have not done so, I hope you will find time to visit all of the challenge sites- inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Ink the snowman image using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.

Use Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image- Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pistachio Pudding and Blush Blossom (retired).  Use the Basic Black marker to color the buttons and branches.

Trim the panel and create the tag using the Scallop Topper Tag Punch.  Use the Project Life® 0.3” Corner Rounder to round the corners.   

Cut another tag a bit larger using Island Indigo cardstock, creating the tag topper and round the corners. 

Layer the focal image onto the Island Indigo tag, add the 3/8” Calypso Coral Seam Binding Ribbon and tie with Natural Linen Thread.   Fray the ends of the ribbon to mimic the scarf on the snowman :-)

Use the Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, trim and mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock, trim and mount onto the Island Indigo card front.

Peace on Earth- Three Challenges in One!

Hi Stampers! 

I had a chance to relax and stamp last night and wanted to create a card using the PP224 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge  (I chose Tree, Embossing and Glitter :-)) along with the CC507 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge (dessert option of a Tree on your card)  and the SC92 Holiday Inspiration Photo Challenge. 

Again, if you have not visited the above sites, I hope you will do so- great inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Use a scrap piece of paper or a sticky note to mask the snow banks.  Use a Sponge Dauber with Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink onto the sky area and ink the retired stamp, Evergreen using Early Espresso Classic Ink and repeatedly stamp the trees in the background.

Use a Stampin’ Write Early Espresso marker to darken the trees and add highlights with a Faber-Castell White Pitt Pen.

Add additional highlights with a paint brush and Soft White acrylic paint as well as applying highlights to the snow banks.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Ovals Collection Framelits™ to cut the image into an oval, cut another oval the same size from Early Espresso cardstock- split the Early Espresso oval in half and mount behind the masked image.

Use the Two-Way Glue Pen to apply glue onto the branches and add Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Use the Big Shot™ with the retired Holiday Frame Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock (ink the interior of the folder before embossing with Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink).  Carefully cut out the embossed panel.

Adhere a piece of Early Espresso cardstock to the end of a piece of Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhere to the Early Espresso card base.

Add the embossed frame and oval image using Stampin Dimensionals® to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from the retired Greetings of the Season stamp set using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Create the banner using the Hexagon Punch, mount onto Early Espresso cardstock (creating the banner with the Hexagon Punch as well). 

Add the sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Add the green Satin Ribbon bow to finish off the card.

SUO111 Merry Christmas- Season of Tags :-)

Hi Stampers! 

This card was created for the new SUO111 “Tag, You’re It” Challenge along with the Create with Connie and Mary CCMC331 Sketch Challenge.

Instead of one tag, I decided to create a card with three tags :-)

If you have not done so yet, I hope you will find the time to check the rest of the Design Team projects at SUO-Challenges as well as the wonderful samples at Create with Connie and Mary :-)

To create this card:

Using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the cardinal image from Beauty of the Season onto Whisper White cardstock.

Color the cardinal using Stampin’ Blendabilities™- Light, Medium and Dark Cherry Cobbler for the feathers and berries, Light Smoky Slate for the branches and Light Pumpkin Pie for the cardinal’s beak and legs.

Trim the panel to 4 ½” and cut into three strips 1 ½” wide.  Insert the strips into the Note Punch and punch the end with the angle, flip and re-insert to punch the other end (this gives you a longer tag than the original punch was designed to create).

Punch size regular size tags using the Note Punch from Basic Black cardstock.  Layer two tags behind each of the cardinal tags allowing a bit of the Basic Black to show.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim to approx.  4” x 5 ¼”.

Adhere the left and right tags to the woodgrain panel, add the retired Silver cord to the card front and adhere the center tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.   

Mount the entire panel onto the Basic Black card base.  

Create a bow using the Silver Cord and add to the top of the card along with Basic Black button.

Stamp the sentiment from Endless Wishes using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, trim and create the banner points using the Banner Punch, punch two banners from Basic Black cardstock and add to the ends of the sentiment.

Mount the sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Beauty of the Season, Endless Wishes

Ink: Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, Stampin’ Blendabilities™- Light, Medium, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate, Light Pumpkin Pie; White Gel Pen

VSNDEC14MINI2 Merry Christmas Deer

Hi Again Stampers!

This card was created for the VSNDEC14MINI2 Challenge for the mini Virtual Stamp Night “Frozen” at Splitcoaststampers.  One of the rules is that you only have one hour to complete your project and you need to be a Splitcoaststampers Fan Club member (this helps to support the best website for stampers) :-) !

To create this card:

Ink the branch image from Beauty of the Season using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp repeatedly onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Darken the branches and color with berries with a Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencil. 

Use the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the dear and tree line on the main deer stamp from the retired set, Noble Deer and stamp near the branches previously stamped in the above step. 

Add a bit of shadows to the snow area with the Black Stampin’ Up! Watercolor pencil and dilute slightly with the AquaPainter™.

Use the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to add the horizon line and additional pen lines for the fur on the deer.

Use the Big Shot™ to cut out the image with the Ovals Collection Framelits™ also cutting the same size oval from Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black cardstock.  Cut both the Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black ovals in half and adhere behind the focal image.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock, trim the panel and mount onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, trim and mount onto the Basic Black card base and add the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Stamp the sentiment using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and create the banner points using the Hexagon Punch.  Layer onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, trim and create the points with the Hexagon Punch- repeat the steps again with Basic Black cardstock.

Add the sentiment along with the Rhinestones to finish off the card.

CAS Christmas Wishes in Silver and Gold :-)

Hi Stampers!

Here is one more card that I created using the Ornamental Pine stamp set- again, I hope you are not growing tired of seeing this set yet…it has been on my desk for almost a week now and I am still having fun with it!

 

I decided to use Vellum for the AW27 Around the World Product Challenge as well as play along with The Paper Players PP218 Clean and Simple (CAS) Silver or GoldChallenge (had to use both- I could not resist:-)), and of course, another card for the CCC14 Splitcoaststampers Christmas Card Challenge (which is really a challenge you set for yourself to keep creating Christmas cards all year long). 

Again, if you have not had a chance to check out the above sites yet, I would encourage you to do so- great inspiration from all!

To create this CAS card:

Using the Embossing Buddy®, de-static a two pieces of Vellum.  

Ink the large pine leaf stamp using Versamark™ ink and stamp onto one of the prepared  pieces of Vellum.  Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Silver Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.  

Ink the pine cone image using Versamark™ ink and stamp onto the other piece of Vellum (repeat for three images).   Also ink and stamp the sentiment onto this piece of Vellum as well (stamping in an area where you can trim the sentiment without interfering with the pine cones). 

Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder to the pine cones and sentiment and heat with the Heat Tool. 

Carefully “fussy cut” each pine cone around the embossed image- mount onto the embossed pine images using Stampin’ Dimensionals® (placing the Dimensionals® behind the embossing so you cannot see them).

Trim the Vellum panel and adhere to a piece of Whisper White cardstock (I used Tombow™ Multi Liquid Glue and applied the glue to the back along the pine needles).

Add the sentiment layer (again, I used a thin line of Tombow™ and I cannot see the adhesive at all).

Add the panel to the Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card- "Easy, Peasy" as one of my fellow demonstrators likes to say :-)  but I truly had to restrain myself from adding Pearls- lol!!

Stamp Sets: Ornamental Pine

Ink: Versamark™

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Vellum

Accessories:  Embossing Buddy®, Stampin’ Emboss® Gold and Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Tool
