A Christmas Card

I've been playing around with different designs for Christmas cards, trying to decide what I'm going to send out this year! I've come up with this one using the sketch from the  Mojo Monday Challenge. I've used the Ski Slope Designer Series paper again. The image has been stamped using versamark inkpad, then chocolate chip & clear embossed. It's then been punched out using the square scallop punch. The layer behind has been punched out using  my cuttlebug & nestabilities die.  I quite like how it's turned out. What do you think?

Card Recipe:

• Ski Slope Designer Series paper
• Chocolate Chip Double stitched grosgrain ribbon
• Whisper White, Kwi Kiss & CHocolate CHip cardstock
• Chocolate Chip & Versamark ink
• Clear embossing powder
• Punches Three stamp set
• Rhinestone brads
• Square scallop punch, 1 3/8 circle punch

Happy stamping!

Card Purse

This is another project we have done on UStamp.  This Card Purse was designed By Tracey Old - a very talented SU Demo in New Zealand!  Check out her site for some great inspiration! You can fill the purse with cards - or anything else that takes your fancy really!

The idea for the flower on the front came from another very talented Stampin' Up! demo - Bev Mantle

I have used:

• Red Riding Hood, Sahara Sand cardstock,
• Sweet Slumber Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Red Riding Hood Grosgrain Ribbon
• Rhinestone brad from Pretties Kit
• Sentiment from "Best Yet" stamp set
• Jumbo eyelet
• Tag punches, Eyelet Border Punch

Criss Cross Box

This is a great little box to give to someone as a gift (or keep for yourself!) It holds eight cards inside, or you can fill it with anything that will fit. This is one of the projects created from this round of Ustamp

I have used the Walk In The Park Designer Series Paper and Baja Breeze Cardstock to create the box. The cards were really quick and easy to make. Again I used the Walk In The Park Designer Series Paper. I made two each of four styles.

Supplies Used

• Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Basic Grey Cardstock
• Wlak In The Park Designer Series Paper
• Baja Breeze, Going Grey & Kiwi Kiss Inks
• Upsy Daisy & Great Friends stamp sets
• Eyelet border punch, Scallop Circle, 1 3/4 & 1 1/2 & 1inch circle punches
• Silver Brads, Grey taffeta ribbon, Kiwi Kiss striped Grosgrain Ribbon

Holiday Line Up (again!)

OK, so I kinda like the 'Holiday Line Up' stamp set and I've made yet another Chrissie card using it and the Ski Slope Designer Papers.  This time though, I've used the Snowmen stamp instead of the Elves. The sentiment is from the 'Best Yet' stamp set, which is a Level 1 Hostess Gift.

 

Card Recipe:

• Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss Whisper White & Red Riding Hood Cardstock
• Ski Slope Designer Paper
• Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Red Riding Hood, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip & Pink Pirouette inkpads
• Holiday Line Up & Best Yet stamp sets
• Rhinestone brads, Red Riding Hood striped grosgrain ribbon, scallop oval punch, eyelet border punch, paper piercer

Happy Stamping!

Sense Of Time

This is a card I have created for Alisa's colour challenge.

The colours were Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand & Sage Shadow.

I have used the Sense of TIme stamp set.  It's one I bought a while ago and have not used yet.  It is a perfect stamp for creating backgrounds and also a great stamp for making masculine cards I think.

Card Recipe:

• Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip. Always Artichoke, Sahara Sand & Whisper White cardstock
• Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand Ink
• WhiteTaffeta Ribbon, Corner Rounder & eyelet border punches, jumbo eyelets, paper piercer

Happy Stamping!

Inkspirations Colour Challenge # 12

I had a work cancellation today so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to sit here and catch up on some study but it is 11.00am already and all I have done is Keesh's Colour challenge!  Naughty, naughty!

I've combined my entry with a Sketch challenge from Mojo Monday & this is what I came up with:

 

This is the sketch:

I found the colours quite hard at first but now that the card is finished I quite like it.  Mind you, this is my second attempt - I didn't like the first card I created at all!

Card Recipe:

• Whisper White, Rose Red, Real Red & So Saffron Cardstock
• Rose Red Grosgrain Ribbon
• Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Rose Red, Always Artichoke & Real Red inkpads
• Window Dressing (Level 3 Hostess Gift) & Think Happy Thoughts, Trendy Trees stamp sets
• Patterns Pack II Designer Series Paper (Level 1 Hostess Gift)
• So Saffron brad, Scallop Circle, Circle & Heart punches

Thanks for looking & happy stamping!

Fathers Day Card

Well, Father's Day is just around the corner (only one more sleep!). This is the card I have created for my Dad.

I've used the Wonderful Favourites and the Trendy Trees stamp sets to make this Recessed Window card.  I think the Trendy Trees stamp set matches quite nicely with the Good Morning Sunshine patterned paper.  There's a great tutorial for this card over at Splitcoast Stampers but if you would like a workshop on creating this card, email me and we can organise a date. I hope Dad likes it!

Card Recipe:

• Basic Black, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango cardstock
• Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango, Basic Brown, White Kraft inkpads
• Wonderful Favourites & Trendy Trees stamp sets
• Tangerine Tango striped grosgrain ribbon
• Rhinestone brads
• Good Morning Sunshine pattered paper

Whatever you are doing for Father's Day, I hope you have a great day and spoil your Dad!

Happy Stamping!
