More Time Please

Hi Everyone:  I know that we all get 24 hours in a day to use how we want, but sometimes that just isn't enough, or maybe I have too much on my list.

I held a Stampin' Up! workshop on Friday night and by all reports was enjoyed by all.  Here is one of the cards that we did.  Hope you enjoy.

Stamps: Christmas Collage (w- 121279 – p 20 – Holiday Mini), Many Merry Messages ( w – 116586 – p41 – IB&C)
Paper: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede
Accessories: Sponges, Crochet Trim – Chantilly, Vintage Brads, Stamp-a-ma-jig

I find myself using these 3 colours a lot this year (they have become by favourite, those and the vintage feel).  I am really going to have to branch out.

This is a very quick card and would be great for a stamp a stack session.  The sentiment is stamped using the stamp a ma jig, so that I could get it in the right place...such a great tool for the wood mounted stamps.

Enjoy the rest of your day and I am off to switch out the summer clothes to winter clothes....brrr!

Until next time...

1 Stamp, 3 Cards Part 3

Hi Everyone:  Here is the last card in a series using the Christmas Collage stamp.  This is a fun stamp because it can be used in so many ways - cutting different images from the single stamped image and then using different techniques to finish the card.

This card also uses one of the a la carte stamp found the the Holiday Mini.  This, stamp, too has many possibilities.

Stamps: Christmas Collage (W – 121279), Christmas Postcard (W – 121428 – a la carte)

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Deck the Hall DSP

Ink: Black Stazon, Garden Green

Accessories: Embossing Ink, Gold Embossing Powder, Chantilly ¼” Ribbon, Various Markers, Blender Pen, Dimensionals, Heat Gun

The Post Card image is coloured in using various methods - ink and markers and then blended with the blender pens. 
 
So that's it - 1 stamp 3 cards.  I hope you have enjoyed.
 
So until next time....

1 Stamp, 3 Cards Part 2

Hi Everyone:  As promised I am back with Christmas Collage #2.  The inspiration for this card came from the sketch MOJO 155.  Check out the BLOG

Stamps: Christmas Collage (W – 121279), Delightful Decorations (W – 116517)

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Deck the Hall DSP

Ink: Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Embossing Ink

Accessories: Gold Waffle Paper, Gold Embossing Powder, 1 ¾” Circle Punch, 2 ½” Circle Punch, Chocolate Chip ¼” Grosgrain Ribbon (discontinued), Very Vanilla 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon, Champagne Mist Glimmer Paint, Ornament XL Punch

This card uses the new Gold Waffle Paper and is quite easy to work with.  A 2" strip was cut and folded together and then gathered aroung the "25" medalion and attached with TomBow Adhesive. 

I will be trying this paper out again in another form.  You can find the Gold Waffle Paper on page 21 of the Holiday Mini catalogue.  You get two rolls, 1 in gold and 1 in sliver $12.25.  There is approx 5 yards in each roll and is 8" wide.

Ok, the cursor won't go over to the left side, so my sign off is centered.

Stay tuned for Part 3

Until next time...

1 Stamp, 3 Cards

Hi Everyone:  Well, I have spent most of the day down in my stamping place today.  Actually I am into my vacation and still have another week and a half to go.  This must be what it is like to be retired although I really miss the people that I work with.

Today, I thought I would use some of the new goodies from the Holiday Mini.  There is some great stuff happening in this catalogue.  Check is out HERE.

I used the Christmas Collage stamp. It is a large stamp and you can use it for 1 card or you can do what I did and use the different images to make several cards.

 

Stamps: Christmas Collage (W – 121279)

Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Deck the Hall DSP
Ink: Early Espresso Craft Ink
Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder

This card uses the top right hand corner of the stamp and is stamped with Early Espresso Craft Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The poinsettias are cut from the Deck the Halls DSP and layered on top.

Easy!

 

 

 

Tomorrow I will post the other cards that I did. 
 
Have a nice evening.
 
Until next time...
