Our current challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations is to create something using the fantastic "Framelits" from Stampin' Up!

I decided to create a Christmas Card for this challenge.  I am in the process of creating these cards for my next market coming up first Sunday in November, so this was the perfect opportunity for me.

Truth be told, I didn't really know where I was going with this card, but knew that I wanted to use the "Ornament Keepsakes" with the dotty DSP from "Season of Style" which is in the current "Holiday Catalogue".  Of course I had to used my favourite EF - Perfect Polka Dots!

Gift Card Holder...

One of our cards we created in Crafty Creations a couple of weeks ago was a Christmas Card  Gift Holder.  I did find this on Google which led me back to Kay Kalthoff.  Those that know me I am not one to watch videos or follow instructions.  I sort of sit down & work things out for myself.  I did watch a bit of this video, but then went off on my own & ended up with this result!

Me being me, I did change it a little, including the papers & the design a little.  The class loved it!

Christmas Card # 2....

Today is the 2nd card one of the groups in my class of 20 a couple of weeks ago did.  You can view the first card one of the groups completed.  They were all very easy cards, but this time we concentrated on the Big Shot & learning out to emboss.  I especially love that I can use some of my favourite retire stamps & retired DSP.

I originally found this on Google sometime ago.  I did go searching for it to give credit but now I can't find it.  Please let me know if you recognise it as I would love to give you credit.  Thank you so much for the inspiration!

 

I have since sold this card so today there is no tutorial.

 

Until next time, Happy Stampin"

Iris Folding...

... & Christmas in July!


Today's card is the one we created in my Volunteer Class this arvo. 

One of the ladies from the class had requested that we learn a little bit of "Iris Folding".  I am only too happy to try & do what the class requests.  It makes it a little easier on me by trying to come up with ideas. 

I did a little bit of research on Pinterest - very addictive site - found this simple but yet effective card.  I wanted to make a start on our Christmas Cards this month as well, so this fitted perfectly for our class & "killed 2 birds with the 1 stone", so to speak.

I must apologise for not knowing where this come from, but please do let me know if it is you as I would like to give you credit.  Thank you so much for the inspiration!

SC 083/13...

It was my turn to create the challenge this week over at Sunny Challenges & Creations & thought seeing as though it is now July - a Christmas Challenge would be in order.  Along with the sketch, we had to create a card, 3-D item or scrapbook page.

I don't know if you have noticed in the new catalogue that there are NO Christmas/Holiday Stamp Sets or Accessories, BUT there is the Carry Over List from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  In saying that, there is no reason as to why you could not use a retired Stamp Set to create your card or even a non-traditional stamp set!!!! You may surprise yourself with what you can come up with!

For those that know me, I tend to steer away from traditional Christmas Colours & like to go more with non-traditional colours, as in today's card - Very Vanilla, Soft Suede & Pink Pirouette.  I love these colours together & not just for Christmas.  Of course, how could I not create a card without using my favourite Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots!

Supplies -
Stamp Set Ornament Keepsakes - 128051, Petite Pairs - 122497
Ink  Pink Pirouette - 126956
Cardstock  Very Vanilla - 106550, Soft Suede - 119982
Framelits  Holiday Ornaments - 127816
Punches  Large Oval - 119855, Scallop Oval - 119856
Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots - 117335
Accessories  Big Shot - 113439, Snail Adhesives - 104332, Multipurpose Liquid Glue - 110755, Stampin' Dimensionals - 104430, Rhinestone Basic Jewels - 119246, Stampin' Write Marker - Neutrals - Soft Suede - 131261

 

Don't forget to pop on over to Sunny Challenges & Creations to check out what lovely cards the Design Team - Kris & Libby - have created.

Cracked Glass...

...was one of the techniques we did back in October.  I decided to do a Christmas Card along with a bit of a different spin on the Step Fold card.

It is another non-traditional Christmas card but the ladies loved it, especially the fold.  The 2nd card we created for this class can be seen in this post.

Christmas...

... in sort of non-traditional colours......

Today's card is one we created in our Crafty Creations Class early last month.  One of the ladies brought in a photo & asked if we could do something like it.  So I sat myself down & proceeded to recreate it using all Stampin' Up! products.

There is lots of cutting, embossing, sponging & fun.

I am really happy with the way this card turned out & everyone was happy with their card.

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Short & Sweet, Barquoe Motifs (Both Retired)
Ink - Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Certainly Celery, Versamark

Ink - Crumb Crake, Early Expresso
Cardstock - Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Embossing Folder - Vintage Wallpaper

It was my turn to set the challenge this week over at Sunny Challenges & Creations.  This is a very easy sketch as well as the 2nd part of the challenge being non-traditional christmas.  Now this can mean non-traditional colours, stamps or both.  It is entirely up to you......  We hope you will have heaps of fun with this challenge, better still join us this week.

Measurements -
Base Card - Basic Gray - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8" or 21cm x 15xm
Layer 1 - Whisper White - 3 3/4 x 3 7/8" or 9.5cm x 9.7cm
Layer 2 - Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 2" or 9.5cm x 5cm
Layer 3 - Pretty in Pink - 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" or 11.5cm x 6.5cm
Layer 4 - Whisper White - 2 3/8" x 4 3/8" or 11cm x 6cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Lovely as a Tree

Cardstock - Basic Gray, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink
Embossing Folders - Perfect Polka Dots, Stripes
Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Big Shot, Heat Tool, Clear Embossing Powder

I run the larger piece of Whisper White Cardstock through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder & the smaller piece of Whisper White using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  Both pieces were adhered to the Base Card - Basic Gray with Tombow Multi-Purpose Glue.

I stamped the long piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Versamark & then Basic Gray, before embossing with Clear Embossing Powder.  The embossed piece was adhered to the piece of Pretty in Pink with Snail Adhesive.

Thinking I didn't have a "Merry Christmas" Stamp, I printed the greeting onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, punched with the Word Label Punch & adhered to the bottom part of the embossed piece prior to adhering to the Base Card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

SC 068/12...

It was my turn to set the challenge over at Sunny challenge & Creations.  This week we had to use something from the new Holiday Catalogue plus use the sketch provided.  Now the product could be in the way of Glitter Paper, Embossing Folder, Tulle, DSP, etc.  There are so many wonderful new products that this should be an easy challenge for everyone.

My card didn't turn out exactly how I had it pictured, as I sort of forget to do a couple of things while creating it.  Fingers crossed, I get time to do another during the week.

Measurements -
Base Card - Primrose Petals - 8 1/4" x 4 1/8" or 21cm x 15cm
Layer 1 - Very Vanilla - 5 5/8" x 4" or 14cm x 10cm
Layer 2 - Early Expresso - 5 1/2" x 3 7/8" or 13.5cm x 9 cm
Layer 3 - Champagne Glitter Paper - 3 3/4" x 3/4" or 9.5cm x 1.5cm
Layer 4 - Very Vanilla - 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" or 9.5cm x 6.5cm
Layer 5 - Primrose Petals - 3 3/4" x 1/2" or 9.5cm x 1cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Ornament Keepsakes
Ink - Primerose Petals
Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Early Expresso, Primrose Petals, Glitter Paper
DSP - Candlelight Christmas Speciality
Punches - Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Boho Blossoms
Embossing Folders - Perfect Polka Dots
Dies - Holiday Ornaments
Ribbon - 3/8" Stitched Satin - Primrose Petals
Accessories - Sticky Strip, SU! Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Pearls, Mini Glue Dots

I run the piece of Early Expresso through the Big Shot using Embossing Folder - Perfect Polka Dots, prior to adhering to the piece of Very Vanilla with Snail Adhesive, adhered a piece of Ribbon across it & then finally to the Base Card - Primrose Petals.

I cut the middle from the smaller piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock by running it through the Big Shot  using one of the Dies from the Holiday Ornaments.  The piece of Champagne Glitter Paper was attached to the left hand side of the piece with Sticky Strip, the piece of Primrose Rose Cardstock punched using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch & adhered to the right side of the piece with Snail Adhesive.

I stamped the matching ornament image onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock measuring a little smaller than the top piece - 3 5/8" x 2 3/8".  I then placed SU! Dimensionals to the wrong side of the die cut Very Vanilla Cardstock, ensuring they were around the outer & inner edges, but not that they could be seen.  I then adhered this piece to the stamped image, ensuring the images were correctly aligned prior to permanently adhering.

I created a Rosette by cutting a 12" x 1/2" piece of DSP & scoring every 1/4" with the Simply Scoring Tool.  I folded this concentina fold, glued together with Hot Heat Gun & adhered to the middle of the stamped image, again, ensuring that the Rosette was placed in the middle.  I punched a small flower from the Glitter Paper with the BoHo Blossoms Punch, adhered to the top of the Rossette & added a Pearl to the middle of the flower.

To finish the card, I tied a small bow & adhered to the top of the Ornament with a Mini Glue Dot.

We hope you will join us this week.

Until next time, Happy Stampin!

Dasher & Holly.....

... make for a lovely Christmas Card, be it Non-Traditional in colour!

Today's card is the one we created in my Friday's Volunteer Class.  A lot of the ladies had a particular stamp set & to get more use from it, I thought we oculd try & recreate one of the cards.  My version is similar to the card, although I have used Stampin' Up! products.

Measurements -
Base Card - Basic Black - 5 7/8" x 6 1/4" or 16cm x 15cm - Scored at 2" or 5.5cm on the 6 1/4" side
Layer 1 - Champagne Glitter Paper - 5" x 3 1/2" or 13cm x 9cm
Layer 2 - Basic Black - 4 5/8" x 3 1/8" or 12.5cm x 8.5cm
Layer 3 - Whisper White - 4 1/2" x 3" or 12cm x 8cm
Layer 4 - Red Glitter Paper - 2 1/4" x 5 7/8" or 6cm x 15cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Dasher (Retired), Season of Joy (Retired)
Ink - Real Red, Tangerine Orange, Versamark
Cardstock - Basic Black, Red Glitter Paper, Champagne Glitter Paper, Whisper White, Old Olive
Accessories - Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Bone Folder, Embossing Powder - White & Clear, Sticky Strip, Snail Adhesive, Pearls, Smooch Spritz - Vanilla Shimmer, Stampin' Write Marker - Old Olive, Pearls
Non-SU! - Ribbon, Button, Gold Paint, Tissue

I randomly sponged the piece of Whisper White Cardstock with a Tissue using Real Red, Tangerine Orange Inks plus a little of Shimmer Paint with a small amount of Gold Pint mixed together.  I went with the tissue as I wasn't happy with the Sponge or Sponge Dauber.  I lightly wiped a clean tissue over the sponging to remove any excess ink that may have been sitting there.

Dasher was stamped direct onto the sponged background with Versamark Ink & embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I repeated the same for the images along the bottom.  I then sprayed the whole lot with Smooch Spritz to give it a bit of a shine.

For the Leaves, I drew them free-hand onto a scrap piece of Old Olive Cardstock, scored the middle of each leaf with my Bone Folder so that it looked like there was a vein up each Leaf, drew along each vein with an Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, dipped it into Versamark & embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.

The leaves were adhered to the top of the Ribbon with Mini Glue Dots, Button added to the top of the leaves with Mini Glue Dots & a row of Pearls adhered along the Ribbon, as well as the corner of the card & Dasher's eye.

I adhered the piece of Red Glitter Paper to the right hand side of the Basic Black Base Card with Snail Adhesive.  The embellished piece of Cardstock was adhered to the piece of Basic Black Cardstock with Snail Adhesive, then to the piece of Champagne Glitter Paper with Sticky Strip prior to adhering the left hand half to the front of the Base Card.

As I've stated, the Basic Black is not a traditional Christmas colour, but am happy with the final result.  Hope the ladies enjoy creating it as much as I have.

Until next time, Happy Stampin'

Circle Circus.....

.... meets Triple Time Stamping!

 I created this card for the challenge on Stampin' Fun & Friends, but was too late to enter it, so thought I would still share.  The challenge was to use Red, Green & Silver, but as I said, I was too late, so I left the Silver & added Chocolate Chip instead.

Measurements -
Base Card - Chocolate Chip - 8 1/4" x 4 1/8" or 21cm x 10.5cm
Layer 1 - Whisper White - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8" or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 - Chocolate Chip - 4 5/8" x 2 7/8" or 12cm x 7.5cm
Layer 3 - Whisper White - 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" or 11.5cm x 7cm
Layer 4 - Chocolate Chip - 3 5/8" x 2 1/8" or 9cm x 9.5cm
Layer 5 - Whisper White - 3 1/2" x 2" or 8.5cm x 9cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Circle Circus, Petite Pairs
Ink - Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Lucky Limeade
Cardstock - Whisper White, Chocolate Chip
Accessories - Snail Adhesive
.
To create your card, adhere the 3 pieces of Whisper White Cardstock  on top of each other using a  little bit of Temp Glue or Temp Snail Adhesive to the back.  I tend to use Snail Ahesive & then rub some of it off.

Firstly, I stamped my sentiment on the top layer with Chocolate Chip Ink.  I then proceeded to stamp random images & colour of Lucky Limeade & Riding Hood Inks around the 3 layers.

Once my stamping was complete, I carefully separatley the 3 layers & mounted them onto the corresponding Chocolate Chip pieces of Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.  I then carefully adhered them on top of each other ensuring that I had all my images matched as close as I could.

I decided not to add any embellishment to the card as I didn't want to take away from the sentiment.

Until next time, Happy Stampin'

Tree Trimmings....

... in non-traditional colours.

Today's card is one we created a couple of weeks ago in my Volunteer "Crafty Creations" class at the Caloundra Community Centre.

Measurements -
Base Card - Summer Starfruit - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8" or 21cm x 15cm
Layer 1 - Sliver Glitter Paper - 5 3/4" x 4" or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 - Concord Crush - 5 1/4" x 3 5/8" or 13.5cm x 9cm
Layer 3 - Whisper White - 5 1/8" x 3 1/2" or 13cm x 8.5cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Tree Trimmings, Short & Sweet (Both Retired)
Ink - Concord Crush (Retired), Summer Starfruit, Real Red
Cardstock - Whisper White, Summer Starfruit, Concord Crush, Silver Glitter Paper
Ribbon - 1/8" Taffeta - Real Red
Accessories - Rhinestones, Snail Adhesive, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Marker - Concord Crush (Retired),
Non- SU! - Silver Cord

The images were stamped onto the large piece of Whisper White Cardstock, ensuring that I staggered them when stamping.  I used Concord Crush, Real Red & Summer Starfruit Inks.  I also stamped the same images onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock, cut out & set aside.

A piece of Real Red Ribbon & the Silver Cord was tied along the bottom prior to adhering this piece to the piece of Concord Crush Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.

The whole piece was then adhered to the piece of Silver Glimmer Paper with Sticky Strip.  I find this holds it a little better, priro to adhering to the Base Card - Summer Starfruit.

Lastly, I drew lines using Concord Crush Marker so that the images looked like they were hanging down.  The cut out images that had been set aside were adhered to the top of the matching images with a little of Snail Adhesive down the middle, the sides turned up a little & Rhinestones added randomly to the images, as well as 3 along the bottom of the card.

I stamped the sentiment direct onto the Whisper White Cardstock with Summer Starfruit Ink.

Would love to know what you think of this one?

Until next time, Happy Stampin'

Merry Christmas Embossed....

Today's card is my version of the one we created in Crafty Creations yesterday.

A lot of the ladies all had this lovely Christmas Tree stamp & wanted to recreate one of the cards Naomi had made using the stamp - sorry don't have a photo of the original.

After coming home & in the middle of preparing tea, I had an idea pop into my head on how to recreate a card that was similar using SU! Lovely as a Tree.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially the background & the greeting on the front which I repeated for the inside.  Mind you, I sort of come across this from making something I wasn't going to like...... , but then that happens so much when stamping.

Measurements -
Base Card - Very Vanilla - 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" or 8 1/4" or 21cm x 14.5cm
Layer 1- Gold Glitter Paper - 5" x 3 3/4" or 13cm x 9.5cm
Layer 2 - Whisper White - 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" or 12cm x 8.5cm

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Lovely as a Tree, Petite Pairs
Ink - Versamark
Cardstock - Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Gold Glimmer Paper
Accessories - Snail Adhesive, Shimmer Paint, Embossing Powder - Gold, Heat Tool, Sticky Strip
Non- SU - Thread, Paint, Pearls, Gold Paint, Glad Wrap

I stamped direct onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Versamark, poured Gold Embossing Powder over the top, tapped excess off & heat set with Heat Tool.

I then proceed to mix a tiny bit of Gold Paint that I had lying around into a little bit of Frost Shimmer Paint.  The amount of Gold Paint I started out with was a about a small pin head & then built from there.  I didn't want too much gold as I just wanted it to blend into the background.  I spread this with a piece of Glad Wrap which I just scrunched into a ball.

For my sentiment, I wanted to emboss it in the Gold, but as I previously stated, didn't like the look after tapping off the excess.  I then proceeded to brush all the Embossing Powder off the sentiment & was left with the faint image.  It looks a little like stamping off a couple of times with ink, except I've done it with Embossing Powder. 

I tied the Thread around the bottom of the card twice, tied a bow & adhered to the Gold Glitter Paper with Sticky Strip.

The whole piece was adhered to the Base Card - Very Vanilla with Snail Adhesive.

To finish it off, I adhered Pearls to the top & bottom.

All in all, a very simple, easy card, but am so happy with the final result!

Until next time, have a great day!

Tree Trimmings...

Although this little stamp set has been retired, I still love it.  We used it in our volunteer class last Friday.  During this class I get to play with all my favourite retired stamp sets & products.  The layout is not my idea, as I sort of cased the card from the very talented Juliette Chapman  Thanks Juliette!

Measurements -
Base Card - Riding Hood Red - 11 5/8" x 4 1/8" or 19.5cm x 10.5cm

Layer 2 - Riding Hood Red - 4" x 1 1/2" or 10cm x 5cm
Layer 3 - Very Vanilla - 4" x 1" or 10cm x 1.5cm
Layer 4 - Riding Hood Red - 3" x 2 3/4" or 7.5cm x 7cm

I run the piece of Early Expresso Cardstock through my Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder prior to adhering it to the Base Card - Riding Hood Red with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

I punched along the one edge of both pieces of the Very Vanilla & Riding Hood Red Cardstocks with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, adhered the Very Vanilla piece to the top of the Riding Hood Red piece with Snail Adhesive, tied a knot in a piece of Ribbon, adhered to the top of the Very Vanilla with Snail Adhesive, tucked ends under & then adhered to the Base Card with Snail Adhesive.

The images were stamped with Garden Green & Riding Hood Red Inks direct onto the small piece of Very Vanilla, lines drawn using my Early Expresso Stampin' Up! Marker, adhered to the matching piece of Riding Hood Red Cardstock & then to the Base Card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Since the photo was taken, I have added a couple of small pearls to the images.

Until next time, Happy Stampin'

I run the piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock through the Bigshot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder & adhered to the Base Card - Lucky Limeade with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

All layers of DSP were adhered to the corresponding pieces of Primrose Petal Cardstock prior to adhering to the Base Card with Snail Adhesive.

I cut a piece of 12" x 1 1/4" strip of DSP, scored at 1/4" intervals with my Simply Scoring Tool, folded concentina style & adhered to the Base Card with Sticky Strip.

For my sentiment, I stamped the image twice onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock - once in Early Expresso & the other in Primrose Petals.  The stamped image in Early Expresso Ink was punched using the Scallop Circle Punch while the Primrose Petal image was punched with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch.  I adhered the smaller circle to the top of the Early Expresso piece with Stampin' Dimensionals prior to adhering to the Rosette with Sticky Strip.
