I sure have gotten a ton of use out of these stache stamps.  More fun stamps to play with.  I embossed the silver foil paper with the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder found on page 30 of the Holiday catty.  Really adds another dimension to the card and matches the silver ink on the image.

We made these at our Wednesday morning class also.  I haven’t made a shaker card in so long I forgot how much fun they were.  And so easy when you have the right tools.  All of which you can find in our catalogs.

This card was created using the stamp set Cheerful Christmas found on page 15 of the Holiday catalog.  The colors I used were Lost Lagoon and Mossy Meadow.  This is also another card we made at one of my stamp camps.  The ribbon on the bottom of the card is also Lost Lagoon.  However, my photography skills for some reason makes it look like a different color in this photo.  Maybe its my lighting……..

I cased this card from another demonstrator on Stampin’ Connection but I can’t remember who this talented stamper is.  If you know who the original designer is please let me know so I can giver her credit.  We created the background with a block stamped in Sahara Sand.  The tree is stamped in Mossy Meadow as is the sentiment from Good Greetings.  Such a pretty card and so clean and simple.

I went outside the box (forgive the pun), and made these cards using some of our other embellishments (not in the kit) just to show you the diversification of this kit.  It is loaded with great ideas already but if you want to do something other than what is shown on the instructions, it is easy to do.  Everything is included in this kit and the only thing you will need is adhesive.  It even contains dimensionals.  Contact me here to find out more.

If you came to my camp yesterday you would have made this card along with other projects geared for the Holidays.  These trees are embossed with various embossing folders from the gold foil card stock.  To save as much card stock as possible the gold layer under the Night of navy with the trees was used to punch out the 3 trees.  Then embossed.  There was still enough of foil card stock left to slide under the Night of Navy layer.  Sentiment if from the hostess set Good Greetings.

25. October 2014 · Comments Off on Baby wipe technique · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I made this card using the baby wipe technique.  The sentiment stamp is from the set Seasonally scattered, page 43 of the Holiday catty.  The leaves are die cut from the Bigz die Autumn Elements.  The technique involves layering several baby wipes together and dropping different colors of ink refills onto the baby wipe until it is saturated with many colors.  The you take your stamp and stamp on the baby wipes to leave a beautiful sentiment with many fall colors.  Hope you like it.

This was a card that we made at one of the club meetings.  I used the DSP Motley Monsters and the sentiment is from Merry Everything, page 13 with the matching punch.  Really easy card, only stampin is the sentiment.  I used the sequins, ribbon & linen thread to embellish.

I don’t think I am ever going to use up all of the items in this kit.  There is so much.  All you really need to do is add your card base, stamp, add embellishments and you are good to go.  I can’t wait to see  what is in the October PP.  I understand it will be something to do with Thanksgiving.  Should be coming any day now and I am super excited.

I had so much left over in this last month’s Paper Pumpkin, I decided to make a few cards.  The only thing I added was our new Washi Tape, found on page 41 of the Holiday catalog.  Our Paper Pumpkin Kits are so versatile now.  This one set not only contained supplies enough to create 6 beautiful bags but 9 stamps so that you have a large variety of Halloween stamps to choose from.

This next card I used the White and Tangerine Tango two-tone Trim found on page 45.  I made the fringe by separating the two colors and then blending them together.DSCN3989

Here is another card using the For All Things set.  The inks I used are soft Sky, Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Hello Honey.  In addition, card stock used was Whisper White, Mossy Meadow and Soft Sky.  You can find this set on page 41 of the Holiday catalog.  The twine is our burlap ribbon shredded.  I like using it because it is a little thicker than our linen thread.  I used the Note Tag Punch on page 13, to cut out the sentiment.

I sponged the DSP All is calm with Lost Lagoon and cut the tree out with our new Tree punch found on page 24 of the Holiday catalog.  In addition I used the embossing folder On Point Textured Impressions for the background.  Then  I used matching DSP in back of that and our new washi tape that matches everything too.  All of that can be found on page 22.  The sentiment if from Project Life stamp set Holiday Cheer on page 35.

13. October 2014 · Comments Off on Shoe Box Swap card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

I created this card for a shoe box swap with my fellow demonstrators.  Every couple of months we try to get together and do a shoe box.  Everyone brings a make & take for everyone to put together.  It is a blast!  and soooo much fun.
You can use this card as a decoration for your tree.  I used Blackberry Bliss, one of my all time favorite in-colors.  In addition, I used Silver glimmer paper and the silver foil paper.  The snowflake embellishment in the center of the card can be found on page 22 of the holiday catty.  I colored the rhinestone with a purple sharpie and adhered it to the snowflake with a glue dot.  I adhered the snowflake to the foil star with glue dots also.  Gotta love our glue dots, they are the best!

I know you have heard me speak of not wanting to see Fall come because winter is close behind, but I do love fall colors.  I could use these colors every day and not tire of them.  I used our Bigz Die Autumn Accents, page 232 Big catalog.
I have found that if you cut the leaves out with our naturals cards stock and then sponge them with our inks the colors are much more vibrant than if you use Whisper white or very vanilla.  That is what I used on this card.  I used the background stamp Hardwood and the sentiment is from Mingle all the way on page 17 of the Holiday catalog.  The Autumn wooden accents are found on page 46.

I love the new specialty DSP All is Calm on page 22 of the Holiday catty.  The stamp set is Wondrous Wreath that has the matching framelits which you can bundle at a 15% discount.  This is on page 9.  The Glimmer red ribbon is also cut out with the framelits.  However, the “joy” is from the Snowflake Card Thinlits found on page 22.  I used our new in-color Lost Lagoon.

I took all the pictures of my class for WCMD with my iphone so they are not as detailed as I would have liked them to be.  I am trying to adjust my Nikon so that I can take better pics with that camera.  This is the front and inside of card.  I used the set Bright & Beautiful, page 25 of the Holiday catalog and the matching Stars framelits found in the Big catalog on page 231.  I also used our Sliver Glimmer paper and the silver foil paper along with the drop dead snowflake embellishments, page 22.  They are so adorable.  I added a candy dot to the center of the star embellishment.

This is one of the cards we did for WCMD.  Both front and inside of card. Stamp sets used were Holiday Invitation and Mingle all the way, both found in the Holiday catalog.  I used the Bog shot to cut out the leaves from Fall Fest and Framelits, also in the Holiday catty.

This set has been very popular.  It has some great images along with sentiments.  Have you noticed that SU has been doing a lot of sets this year with both images and sentiments?  That is what is so neat about our products.  On this card I opted to use the sentiment from Mingle All the Way but I could have easily used one of the sentiments that came with this set.  I like to switch out once and a while.  Makes life interesting!

Now this stamp is from the set Bootiful Occasions, page 136 in the big catalog.  You can use it for Halloween, summer, winter, or rainy days.  I am so glad this set was carried over to the new catalog this year.  It has always been one of my favs.  I used Soft sky for the card base and highlights on the boot.  The background is created using the Lucky Stars Textured Embossing folder and I used the Star embellishments from In color Sequin assortment.

Sometimes we need a sympathy card and I thought this stamp set fit the bill.  I used the sentiment from Hostess set Bloom with Hope on page 240 of the Big catalog.  This set is only for those hostesses that have a workshop of $150 or more.  Why not host a party?

This is another card that I designed with the set Ray of Sunshine.  I think it goes well with the nautical theme.  What do you think?  I love these colors together.  It is so patriotic looking.  I used the DSP Maritime found on page 187 of the big catalog and our Cherry Cobbler Bakers twine.

I am sorry this picture is so small but I took it with my iphone instead of my camera.  It actually came out pretty good, except for the size.  I used acetate for the reflection of the tress in the water.  This is my absolute favorite set of all the stamps sets created by SU and I hope along with hundreds of other demos that they never retire it.  It has been around since 2001.  Wow!  I wish they still put the dates on our sets.  I used to like to see how long they lasted.  Many people have contacted SU and asked that this set never be retired, including me.  Hope they listen to us.
By the way, I used the dryer sheet technique on this card along with dazzling diamonds.

When you purchase this stamp set, a portion of the proceeds goes to the Ronald McDonald House.  We have partnered with them for many years to help children heal and keep families together.
I used the DSP Flower Pot and stamped the Flamingo in Blushing Bride.  I used the paper piecing technique and embellished with our 1/4″ Blushing Bride cotton ribbon.  The nice thing about our products is you do not have to try and figure what goes with what.  All of our embellishments, ribbons, brads, etc., are all color coordinated to help you create beautiful cards.

I created this card for our Shoe Box swap with my downline and other sidelines.  We try to get together about every two months.  Everyone prepares enough supplies to copy their creation and you go from station to station doing make and takes.  It is so much fun to get together with these wonderful ladies.   Being a demo is great.
This card I created from Fall Fest and used the framelits that coordinate with the set.  It can be purchased from the Holiday mini (page 46) at 15% discount if you buy the bundle.  I also used the mustache framelit (page 230 in the big catalog).  The background paper is Motley Monsters DSP.  The sentiment is from Good greetings, which you can get FREE if you host a $300 workshop.  Contact ME to find out how, I have several open dates, my house or yours.
