Exciting News!

Hello Stampers!!  I have been keeping a secret for a few weeks, and I am so excited to share my news!  I have been selected to be one of the Dirty Girls over at Splitcoaststampers!!!!  I am over the moon excited to be a part of this wonderful group of crafters!!

 Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous Holy Family Ink: VersaMark Paper: Park Lane gold foil and Gina K heavy base weight ivory Accesories: Hero Arts Infinity oval dies, Memory Box Pinpoint Snowflake Plate, Stampin Up Wonder of the Season ribbon combo pack, gold embossing powder

This week Gem is the featured stamper over at Splitcoaststampers.  I found this card in her gallery to CASE.

I loved all of the piercing on her card, so I used the Memory Box Pinpoint Snowflake Plate to add piercing to my background.  I changed the orientation of the card to be a top folding card.  For the focal image I also used an oval frame.  I used gold accents to mat the focal image and added some gold cording at the bottom of the card.  My supply of Christmas cards is getting pretty big, soon I will be done!!  That would be a record for me to be done so early with my Christmas cards!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Halloween

Supplies: Stamps: Memory Box Paper: Paper Cut pewter, Gina K black onyx and white layering weight Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: Quickutz spider and web, Doodlebug gray and white twine

Hello Stampers!  Today is the sketch challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  Here is a picture of the sketch:

I thought of a spider web when I saw the corner circle on this sketch, so I made a Halloween card.  I die cut the spider and web and adhered them to the grey background.  Then I used my piercing tool to make holes for the twine.  Lastly, I stamped my sentiment and popped up the grey panel on the black card base.  Easy peasy!

Hello Stampers!  Today is the featured stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The featured stamper is Dawn.  This is the card that I used as inspiration for my card.

To make my card I started with a kraft card base.  Then I started to work on the tag.  I stamped and colored the chicken and then die cut the tag.  I added a heat embossed banner for the sentiment, and finished the tag with a gingham bow.  Next I adhered the red gingham paper to the card base, and adhered a black strip of paper.  All that was left was to pop up the tag and this completed my card.

To make my card I started with the ornaments. I embossed them in silver and then used the coordinating die cuts to cut them out.  Then I attached some silver thread to the back of the ornaments.  Next I cut out the white and silver foil layers using Gina K's Master Layouts 2.  I really like the stitched edge that it has.  Then I adhered the ornaments to the white layer, and taped the silver thread to the back of the white layer.  Next I heat embossed the sentiment, and adhered the white layer to the silver mat.  To complete the card I chose to use a blue card base.

Christmas Wishes

Supplies:  Stamps: Amuse Paper: Gina K white and kraft, SU real red, silver glitter paper Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: SU Snowfall Thinlits Dies, SSS Ho Ho Ho Deer Circle, SU Layering Squares Framelits, googly eyes

Hello Stampers!!  Does this layout look familiar?!  I couldn't resist, I had to make another card using the sketch challenge on SCS.  For this card I die cut the reindeer and then die cut a square around the reindeer.  Next I adhered a scallop square mat to the focal image.  I die cut a red nose and added it to the reindeer and also added googly eyes.  Then I adhered this to a kraft layer, and stamped my sentiment.  To finish the card I die cut a snowflake and background and popped it up on the corner of the square, and adhered the kraft layer to the white card base.

That's all for now!! Thanks for stopping by!!
