SSS Wednesday Challenge: No Pattern Paper

Over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog they have challenged us to not use any pattern paper.  I figured this would be a good time to use a mini stamp set and try and use all the stamps on it and I did.

 I am starting off with a white card stock panel sized 4 by 5 1/4 inches.

I am making my own pattern paper by stamping the different sentiments in different colors of ink.

Make sure to stamp some of the paper so it will look random.

 For the main part of my card I place them on my mat to figure out what size I need to cut my panel at.

 I am selective inking my stamp in two different brown inks, its easy to do with clear stamps because you can see where your inking.

 The back of my card and envelope.

 The inside of my card and front of the envelope.

SSS Monday Challenge: Ombre

Over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog the one for Monday is Ombre, I needed to make a girly Halloween card and thought this would be perfect. A pink sprider web with googly eye spiders, not to scary but also cute.

 I am starting of by placeing my stencil in the middle of my 4 by 5 1/4 inch panel and adhereing it down with some painters tape.

I am using distress ink and some daubers.

 The first two circle rows are going to be the lightess pink, I also added the light pink to the next two circles.

I added the darker pink to the remainder of the circles.

I gradualy added the darker pink very lightly to the light pink in the middle.

I added more light pink very heavily to the center.

I also added the darker pink to the edge very heavily.

 All finished.

 Using a black ink and a spider stencil I stamped three spiders randomly around the top edge leaving some room for my sentiment.

 I used the light ink and super lightly added it with the stencil to the inside of the card and front of the envelope.

 I also did this with the back of the card and the envelope.

Close up of the card.

Finished card, I added some google eyes to the spiders.

CARDZ TV Challenge #2: Fall Icons

I am so happy Mary over at CARDZ TV decided to bring her challenges back, she was one of the reasons I purchased a Cricut Machine and Many Many cartridges.

This is Challenge #2: Fall Icons

 I cut out Acorns from a Cricut Cartridge in a brown and yellow orange card stock and then ran them threw two different embossing folders.

 I inked them in their coordinating ink colors and added some foam to the acorn top.

The Fall was cut from the same cartridge.

I adhered them with liquid glue to a orangeish pattern paper panel.

 I wanted a small HAPPY stamp so I selective inked a stamp that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO in the same brown ink color or the yellow orange card stock.

Finished card, pattern paper is matted on the yellow orange paper and the other pattern paper is on a brown card base.

Fall Paper Clips #1

I decided to make some fall paper clips, some for teachers and coaches and some to sell and craft fairs.

 I used a punch and some different shades of brown card stock for the acorn.

 I embossed the acorn with an embossing folder.

 Two different folders to give the acorn different texture.

The acorn on the left is inked in the same color ink as the card stock and the acorn on the right is not inked and will be the back of the paper clip.

 I used some leaf dies that also have texture to them.

 Again inking them in the same color as the card stock.

 The leaf on the left is inked and the leaf on the right is not inked.

 I added a foam to the top of the leaf so the paper clip wouldn't sag.

I then added a small amount of hot glue to the top of the clip.

 Add a little more glue on top and replace with another leaf.

I inked all the leaf's that way they would be the same either way you clipped them to the paper.

 Here is the other leaf, I added a few extra foam pieces to this one because it is larger.

I used some $1 store paper clips.

They are pretty awesome.

CAS(E) this Sketch #142

Over at CAS(E) this Sketch their sketch is so versatile again which I love and decided to make two winter/Christmas cards.

 I started off with a 4 inch by 5 1/4 white card stock panel.

I stamped my sentiment in grey and arranged my snow flake stamps so I could use my fiskar stamp press to stamp them all at once.

I stamped them in a blue ink.

I am going to add this panel to a blue 4 1/4 inch by 5 1/2 inch piece of blue card stock that I adhere onto a standard white card base, this way I save my good paper and have a white inside of my card.

 I added some clear gems to the centers of the snow flakes in different sizes.

Finished card
