I like to use a monochromatic themes when I make my cards because we have the best colors. Here I used one of our new in colors Pistachio Pudding. WOW, saying that color makes me wish I had a big bowl of Eddy’s Pistachio ice cream in front of me right now. I may have to run out to the store…..
I saw this is technique on a Stampin’ Connection video by a fellow Demonstrator Dawn Olchefske. This can really be addictive. Looks complicated but very simple. This particular card we did at one of my clubs. The stamps are from Everything Eleanor and the sentiment if from the hostess set Express Yourself.
I love these colors together, don’t you? I used the stamp set Timeless Talk and the Alphabet Press embossing folder, with early espresso Cordination card stock. In addition, I used Venetian Romance DSP. I don’t know how long these banners are going to hang around but I sure like using them to show off our gorgeous papers. I am having so much fun using the new hardware clips to embellish my cards.
Don’t you just love the new Christmas DSP in the Holiday catalog? This is from the Winter Frost Specialty DSP. The stamp set is a hostess set from the Holiday catalog called Warmth and Wonder. You can get this stamp set by hosting a workshop for as little as $150. I sprinkled Dazzling /Diamonds on the snow in the card but it is hard to see in the photo.
I used the DSP Etcetera from the Big catalog (pg 153) and the Cordinations card stock Night of Navy. These cordination card stocks are another item that is also addictive. So cool what you can do with an embossing folder and a sanding block. Love, love, love the texture you get with it. I used our simply pressed clay to make the buttons and the flowers and colored them with our re-inkers.
Another sample of Strawberry Slush. Don’t you just love the new In-color ribbon and embellishments that I used on this card? I think they are delightful! So easy to create cards with so many embellishments, ribbon, paper and ink that match.
I designed this card using our new Season of Style DSP paper stack on page 22 in the Holiday catalog. I used the Chalktalk Framelits to cut out the tag. The stamped image is another single stamp from the Christmas Collection of Single stamps.
I have gotten a lot of mileage out of this stamp set, Truly Grateful. On this card I use several different textures. I used canvas and stamped the Chevron image with Crushed Curry ink. I used our new burlap ribbon (page 18) in the Holiday catalog, and also the linen thread. I frayed both the canvas and the burlap ribbon and backed the card with DSP from Soho Subway. As always, please leave any comments in the section below the posting. I love hearing from y’all.
I used the sheets from the Winter Frost DSP paper stack, page 29, for the background on this card. The paper stack holds 48 sheets of double sided designs 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″. Perfect for card making. The hardware, Frosted Finishes, is also from the Holiday catalog on page 28.
This is one of the single stamps from the Christmas Assortment that has just been released. They are beautiful stamps that you can purchase separately from $4.95. If you are on my mailing list you would have received a flyer with pictures of these new stamps. If you want to see what they are contact me HERE and I will send you out a flyer.
I love this DSP from the new Holiday catalog on page 18 called Sweater Weather. Perfect name for the beautiful prints in this pack and goes great with our Fall selection of stamps.
A lot of crafters are showing these cards with this technique all over the internet. It appears that it is very popular right now. If you like this technique and would like me to show you how it is done, let me know and we can add it to our classes, clubs and camps.
How do you like the way this card turned out? I used the new embossing Folder on page 24 of the Holiday Catalog called “Pretty Print”. Really dresses up this card.
This is the 3D item we made at camp on Saturday! Everyone loved it and so easy to put together. Just the perfect size to hold 3 little Hershey nuggets for that special co-worker or little Goblin. If you aren’t coming to my monthly camps, you are missing out on some really neat projects. They are held on the 4th Saturday of every month. See my calendar HERE for clubs, classes, and camps.
I don’t own this set, I borrowed it from my daughter Mo, who won it at convention. She graciously let me borrow it for my camp this past weekend. We used White craft ink with white embossing powder on the stamp and I love the way it came out. Of course, the Witches’ Brew DSP is to die for also.
Love these colors together. This is one of the cards we made at my camp yesterday. The last card I posted made with thinlits I created using the Circle Set. This card was created using the Label Thinlits Die Pack. I love all the various little dies that come with these thinlits. You can be so creative with them.
We used Two Way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds on the inside. Don’t ask me why the color of the DSP is lighter than the top, I thought it was the camera but I guess it is the person using the camera. The picture of the front of the card (top) is the true colors.
I know it is a little early for Santa but I couldn’t resist playing with this stamp set. It is soooo cute. You can find it in the Holiday Catalog page 31.
Love this stamp set, one of my favs from the BIG catalog. Used our new Chevron Punch on this card. Hope you like it.
This card was created using out new Thinlits Circle die and our gorgeous Witches’ Brew DSP. Using this die to make a card takes less than a 1/2 sheet of card stock.
These 2 cards were created using the same DSP (Witches’ Brew) and the same washi tape but look totally different, just by changing around the images or sentiments.
This is Settin’ Sail stamp set used with Soho Subway DSP. Really like using these photopolymer stamps. There 21 stamps in this set.
This is one of the cards we made at my hostess club this month. I cased this card, in part, from another demonstrator, Dawn Olchefske. The DSP is Afternoon Picnic and the sentiment is from the set “A Dozen Thoughts”. Thanks Dawn for your inspiration.
We have got some really cool stamps in the Holiday catalog for Halloween. This is one of my favorites. You can do so much with it. I will be showing a ton of stuff made with this set. Don’t forget to check out the other spooky sets too!
More Eastern Elegance DSP. So pretty! These colors, Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana, so go well together. I really love the new Chevron ribbon they came out with this year. This is Crushed Curry, but it comes in 11 other colors, page 173 in the big catalog. The sentiment is from the stamp set “Hello Lovely”.
I love our new burlap ribbon. I frayed the edges on this to give it that distressed look. The stamp set I used is Truly Grateful from the new Holiday catalog.
You can now order this background stamp on page 23. I love Vintage…Really? Anyway, I am sure you will see me using this a lot. Do you agree that this card is perfect for a man?
Mo is going to do a demo on how to carve your own stamps. I think she did an AWESOME job on this!
Don’t throw out those little brad and button cases that you get. Turn them into little gift holders. This one I covered with washi tape and made the rose from our Blossom punch. Just put in a piece of jewelry, candy, or whatever. Too much fun to create.
Can you believe that this DSP I just ordered. What was I thinking? It should have been one of my first. It is so beautiful! The catalog just does not do justice to our beautiful papers. When I saw it used so much at convention I just knew I had to order it as soon as I got home and I did.
I used the Tag It Set for this card and the new Crisp Cantelope paper from Venetian Romance. OOPS! I just realized that my little rhinestone slipped on the You in the sentiment. I apologize for that. Today has been one of those days.LOL
I cased this card from Patricia Brannin. It was a swap I rec’d at convention and I loved it so much that we made this at my July camp. We used the Pansy punch for the flower from Flower Shop and the washi tape from Gingham Garden. So simple and fun to make.
A few days ago I posted a video on how to make this little tent. It is so much fun to make and very easy. Watch the video and if you have any problems, just contact me and I will walk you through it. I used Gorgeous grunge stamp set to create the digital camo look on the tent, but you can use anything to decorate it. I just thought this pattern would be good for girls as well as boys.
This set is called “Settin’ Sail” and I love it. Goes great with the “By the Tide” and “By the Seashore” sets, not to mention the gorgeous DSP papers that we have this year. I used the Chevron EF for the background. Our polymer stamps (unlike many other brands) give a really nice image. What I like about them is the ability to line up small letters or sentiments in small areas as noted in the sample below (Anchors Away and Thanks, Mate!).
