Funky Snowflake Die

I searched via Pinterest for ideas and typed Simon Says Stamp in the search button because I do have allot of their products which I love just as much as Stampin UP products and found a card by Lisa at Im In Heaven. I pretty much totally cased the card because it was just so simple and non traditional. I made four of them while watching one episode of CSI:NY on NetFlix.

 Here I am cutting 1/4 inch strips of four shades of purple. I did this for each card in the coordinating shades. I cut four strips of each color.

 I cut a piece of white heavy weight card stock at 3 3/14 wide by 5 inches tall and placed the Simon Says Stamp Funky snowflake die. I positioned it high enough so I would have space for my sentiment.

I don't need the the positive of the snow flake, just the negative and the star center, I will put the positive in a baggie with my dies.

 Here I am placing the die cut panel on my top folding card base and putting a mark at the top and bottom to know where I need all my strips

 Total random placement just making sure two of each color are not next to each other.

 ATG in the center, just enough to make sure each strip will have enough glue to hold them down.

 I am pulling strips from bottom and putting on top to keep my pattern.

 Using the wire guide on my Fiskars trimmer to help cut off the excess strips of card stock.

Wonderous Wreath VIA Thanksgiving style

I made three Fall/Thanksgiving type cards from a set that was geared towards Christmas.

 I am using Stampin UP More Mustard ink for the first stamping of leaves.

 Using Stampin UP Cajun Craze for the second stamping of the leaves.

 It is so easy since they are photo polymer. Using my Fiskars stamp press.

 Using Stampin UP Bravo Burgundy for the berry part of the stamp.

 Using Stampin UP Crushed Curry for the bow and hanger.

 The stamp set from Stampin UP called Wonderous Wreath also has matching framelits and the cool thing about the stamps and dies is that they have a little tab built in to make lining things up easier.

 I used a single layer of Stampin Dimensionals on the wreath and a single/double on the bow.

Finished card, I just layered it with some coordinating card stock from Stampin UP.

Inside, I used a PTI stamp set called Keep it Simple Thanksgiving.

I tried to do a close up to show the shimmer of the Clear Wink of Stella and the Glossy Accents on the berries.

Creative Challenge Club CCC18

This week at Creative challenge Club they have a sketch, I am really enjoying sketches and still on a Halloween Kick. I think this would be a perfect card for a child or mid teen. The Link for Creative Challenge Club is well click HERE.

 I used a Papertrey Ink die and a die by My Favorite Things.

The Papertrey Ink die doesn't have any holes in it to help remove the paper so I just use some rolled up Washi Tape.

I am using a combination of three stamp sets and two inks. A Papertrey Ink set, a My Favorite Things set, and a Recollections set. Also ink from Stampin UP and Versa Fine Black Onyx.

 I am using pattern paper from an 8 1/2 by 11 inch The Paper Studio set and some Dimensional's on the back of my sentiment. I used a Heavy Weight black card stock for my base.

I added some orange stickles to the bows and Glossy Accents to the tie. I have the ghosts half on dimensional and the other half flat glued to the sentiment.

This time on Tis The Season the challenge was a sketch. This card took about 45 minutes only because I had to use tiny tiny foam circles. Click here for the TTS27 link.

I used Abby, Maryanne, Melody, and RyLynn.

I added tape on top and placed on my card then ran threw my Big Shot.  I used some tiny tiny circle foam dots from The Paper Studio.

 This is the back, I added double sided adhesive then some Metallic Die Cuts With a View paper.

Creative Challenge Club CCC17

This week was a sketch challenge and I was dying to use my newest purchase a spider web stencil by My Favorite Things.

Creative Challenge Club CCC17 click here.

I am using Stampin UP Smokey Slate card stock and ink with a blending tool with the MFT spider web stencil. I used an MFT circle die to cut the circle.

 Finished inking.

Below is my dilemma, I made my inside without realizing it was opposite, OOPS. I decided to round all four corners.

 I used some heavy weight black card stock by The Paper Studio and a scrap white for the middle, I pooped the circle on foam squares. I die cut from Die Cuts with a View glitter paper using Lawn Fawn Quinns die's.

The spider is from a retired Stampin UP set.

EEK

I bought some translucent embossing paste a while ago and wanted to give it a whirl so I went to pinterest and looked for some Halloween cards, I found one close to this that I could use with a stencil and the translucent embossing paste.

 I am using a Heavy Weight white card stock from The Paper Studio and a variety of different Tim Holtz distress inks. I am making five different cards.

 Using painter tape around the edges, after using my Heidi Swapp stencil I removed it and cleaned it off and reapplied it and then used the translucent embossing paste.

 This is before the embossing paste.

 Here is the paste.

 After the embossing paste before it was completely dry, it becomes clear like embossing with clear embossing powder.

 Using some Glitter card stock from Die Cuts With a View and my Lawn Fawn dies I cut out five EEK in the almost black type of glitter paper.

I used some black and white twine and the spider came from an old Stampin UP set.

I attached the letters with Tombow Mono glue and of course used some Googly Eyes.
