Snowman Sleigh



 Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black Snow Family, Stampin' Up Greetings of the Season
Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Black and Distress Inks Villainous Potion, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire
Paper: Gina K White and Stampin' Up Basic Black
Accessories: Stampin' Up Everyday Arches Dies, Concord & 9th Snowfall Card Front Die, Copics, Honey Bee Clear Gems, Eclipse Masking Paper, Pickett Fence Blending Brushes

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for two challenges: Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple: Gems and CAS Christmas Challenge: Santa's Sleigh. For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped it on Eclipse masking paper and then fussy cut it out.  Next I stamped the focal image on white card stock and die cut it with one of the everyday arches dies.  I applied the masking paper onto the image and then ink blended a night sky.  I removed the masking paper, colored in the images with Copic markers, and added some gems.  I decided to mat this image in black.  For the card base I die cut it with the snowfall card front die, and then adhered my focal image onto the card base.  For the inside I used the same everyday arches dies and stamped a sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday


Supplies:
Stamps: Market Street Stamps: Daily Grind, Stampin' Up Like It A Latte
Ink: Stampin' Up Poppy Parade
Paper: Gina K White and Kraft, Stampin' Up Poppy Parade
Accessories: Stampin' Up Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Softly Woven Embossing Folder, Stitched Circle Dies, Sizzix Alterations by Tim Holtz, Spellbinders Layered Happy Birthday, Waffle Flower Nesting Circle Dies

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card that I CASED (the bottom right card):
For my card I used an embossing folder for the focal panel in place of the dsp.  I matted this panel with poppy parade.  For the card base I embossed it with the softly woven embossing folder.  I used a die cut sentiment in place of a stamped sentiment.  For the background of the sentiment I ran that through the same embossing folder as the card base, and then adhered the sentiment on top.  Behind the sentiment I twisted some white baker's twine.  I thought it needed just a little something so I stamped and fussy cut out the coffee and nestled it into the sentiment. I popped up both the sentiment and the coffee.  For the inside I duplicated the same layout.  I stamped, die cut, and matted the sentiment.  And then added the same coffee as the front.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Make a Splash


Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up Splash and Relax
Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Black, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia
Paper: Gina K White, Stampin' Up Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Freesia, Basic Black
Accessories: Stampin' Up Splash and Relax Dies, Scalloped Blooms Dies, Soft Waves Embossing Folder, Honey Bee Clear Gems

Hello Stampers!  I made this card using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.
For my card I started with the circle elements of the sketch.  I used the Splash and Relax dies to use for these elements.  For the strip of paper of the sketch I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and then snipped the ends so the ends would have a slanted edge.  For the piece under the sentiment I went with a strip of lemon lime twist.  Next I cut a piece of pool party card stock and embossed it with the soft waves embossing folder.  To finish I adhered everything together, and then added some bling.  For the inside I die cut the flip flops and sunglasses and adhered them in the corner, and then for the sentiment I stamped it on white and matted it with a scalloped rectangle.  And that completes my card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Pumpkin Latte



 Supplies: 
Stamps: Stampin' Up More Than Autumn, Amuse Just a Note
Ink: Stampin' Up Basic Black and Early Espresso
Paper: Gina K White, Stampin' Up Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Patterned Paper from Stash
Accessories: Waffle Flower Nesting Circle Dies, My Favorite Things Stitched Fishtail Flag Dies, May Arts Twine, Copic Markers, Masking Tape, Stampin' Up Pattern of Friendship Die and Double Oval Punch

Hello Stampers!  Fall is creeping up pretty quickly!  I go back to school in 2 weeks!  Yikes!!  Yesterday I crafted with my mom and sister and I think I have all of my Christmas cards and Christmas tags done.  What a relief it is to have them completed!  So I switched gears a bit and went for a fall card.  For this card I started with the coffee.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored it in with copics, and then matted it with some pumpkin pie card stock.  I also added some twine behind the focal image.  I have seen other crafters do this and thought I would give it a try. I selected some patterned paper and die cut a fishtail flag to go behind the focal image.  For the white background layer I used the Pattern of Friendship die and ran it through the die cut machine.  Then I turned the die 90 degrees and ran it through again so it would match the pattern of the paper.  I should note when using cover plate dies you often have to use a stronger adhesive like Score Tape, otherwise it is not very secure on your card.  For the inside I kept it simple.  I adhered the patterned paper strip and then added the sentiment that I stamped and punched out.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
