Stamp Ink Paper: Color Challenge

For me, card-making is therapy and as of late, I get so caught up in the thing we call life that my therapy sessions haven’t happened as I’d like. =)  With that, I wish you an Oh, Happy Day!  I’m not even sure how many people actually stop by and check out my weekly cards, so if you’re reading this, THANK YOU!

The Details:

  • Embossed Background.  This oval-shaped background was a piece of scrap whisper white cardstock that I had laying around. I couldn’t even tell you how it was cut.
  • The Church.  The church is from the Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies.  It’s a part of a strip with another building (home) and two trees next to it.  It’s super cute and you can snip what you want or leave it in once piece.

Use Host Code above when you place an on-line order via my on-line store, but only if it’s under $150.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward.

INQUIRE ABOUT FREE SHIPPING!  You can do this each time a new catalog is introduced.  You’ll NEVER ever have to make any sales and you just let your membership expire.  Three ways steps:  

  1. Join as a hobby demonstrator when you want to place an order that comes to $99.
  2. Stampin’ Up! will literally GIVE YOU an additional $26 in product…WHATEVER you want for only $99 (a $125 value).

Stamp, Ink, Paper: Color Challenge

Today’s Celebrate card is for the weekly Stamp Ink Paper color challenge.  This card will go into the #ImBringingBirthdaysBack 2017 stack.  However, I must admit…I’ve gotten a little behind.  So most of the cards, for February have become Belated Birthday cards.  Nevertheless, they will go out and for each card that is late I’m putting a little treat inside each card.

As I say each week, my Stamp Ink Paper teammates have a talent that is out of this world!  Their design can be duplicated and made your own.  You can also enter one of your cards and enjoy sharing your card with the world.  

The Details:

  • Banner.  The CELEBRATE banner is not a die-cut, it’s a snip cut (LOL).  After it was stamped the scissors were used to create the banner.  I followed the curve of the letters and cut a V from corner to corner on each side.  It came out better than I thought it would.

Use Host Code above and receive a gift from me when you place an on-line order via my on-line store.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward and you’ll automatically receive a gift from me.

FREE PRODUCT with PURCHASE.  For every $50 spent (before tax/shipping) you earn free Sale-a-bration items.  Click on each catalog to view either the Occasions catalog or the free items in Sale-a-bration.

Stamp Ink Paper: Colors #81

Hardcore card makers take any moment to make a card serious. We begin a month or two before the date!  Well, at least we try.  Today’s card is for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge this month and I love that less is truly more!

It would be a great honor to be able to see your talent on the challenge.

The Details:

  • No Stamping.  It’s what I love about out one word thinlit sentiments!  You can see all the thinlits here.
  • The Power of Dimensionals.  Did you know our Stampin’ Dimensionals could be cut with scissors?  That’s exactly what I did to pop up the “love”.  I used ONE dimensional and can you say “WHOA!”  You can see in the photo below the off the card pop it gives the card.  Love it!
     
  • Just for kicks. Silver metallic thread was added to the back of the boots to just for fun.

Use Host Code above and receive a gift from me when you place an on-line order via my on-line store.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward and you’ll automatically receive a gift from me.

In Holy Stampimony

Thank You

Didn’t use up all your Halloween Night designer series paper?  No problem!  You can do one of two things: 1) Save it for next year or 2) use the other side!  I chose #2!

sip73

This week we enter the season of being grateful/thankful and with my favorite season and the Stamp Ink Paper card challenges kicks the holiday season off with a grateful card challenge.  Please show how grateful you are over at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

Thank You

The Details:

  • Marrying Stamp Sets.  Joining two different sets in holy stampimony makes for a happy card.  The anchor in Guy Greetings makes a perfect match with Banner Blessings and they make the cutest couple don’t ya think?
  • Outdated Designer Series Paper.  No problem! Flip it over and get a completely different look.  It’s what I did with the left over Halloween Night DSP.  Often we are so mesmerized with the cute designs that we forget to flip it and admire the reverse side.  However, you can also do what so many of us do….save it for next year! LOL

You don’t need to know how to play a guitar to stamp it on a handmade card to send someone music for their soul.  Post your card here.

Thank You

The Details:

  • Wood Guitar.  To create a realistic wooden guitar, I stamped on the wood paper from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack and then hand-snipped it.  Looks super realistic and I love it don’t you!?

  • What about that tail?  Can you say snip it with another Stampin’ Dimensional. It just gives the little cutie pie a little umpf.
  • Water colored background.  I actually stamped the image first and them very carefully used the Aqua Painters to paint the background.  I have to paining talent and it just shows that you don’t need to know how to water paint to do a good job. =)

Stamp Ink Paper: 3D Project, Tag or Home Decor!

Stamp Ink Color Toilet Paper Rolls

Happy Tuesday! Today’s two projects were made for the Stamp Ink Paper 3D Project, Tag or Home Decor challenge and my projects pretty much meet all three criteria choices, although they didn’t have to.  I’ve been saving toilet paper rolls for about two years now and now that I have no more room to store them, I better start using them.  The one on the left was made with retired paper with the exception of the cutest currently Mummy from the Cookie Cutter Halloween collection.  The candle I found on Pinterest.

This week I will make roughly about 80 of the fat pillow treats on the left.  Instead of just handing out treat for Halloween, I’ll be giving each child one toilet paper roll each. they will be filled with two candies a piece…or maybe three. I gotta see how many will fill in each.  Oh I can’t wait to see the looks on their cute little faces.

Stamp Ink Paper Challenge

After putting together the projects I realized that they were both 3D, both had tags on them and the candle is actually a home decor piece!  But you don’t have to do the same, just pick one and show us what you’ve made at the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.

Cookie Cutter Halloween

The Details:

  • Toilet Paper Roll.  This is what two years of saving TP rolls gets you…a crafted candle.  I used hot glue to adhere the battery operated tea-light that can be purchased by the dozen at the dollar store.  I even put some on the Gingerbread kid’s forehead to give it the drip look.
  • The Sentiment.  Thank goodness the photopolymer gives a little flexibility because I bent it just so slightly so that it would stamp in the shape of the banner punch.
  • Doily’s Finishing Touch.  The center of the doily is a perfect fit on the TP roll and it can be cut with scissors to make it easy to slid it down.  To get it to adhere perfectly I cut small snips on the bottom of the roll and folded them outward and used a tiny bit of multipurpose glue so the doily would lay flat.  Does the make sense?

Stamp, Ink, Paper: You’re My Anchor

Stamp Ink Paper

Today’s card was made for the Stamp Ink Paper Sketch Challenge #58. I’m not much of a punch artist, but today’s card is a little bit nautical and one little fish that I made with the bow builder punch.  I didn’t make a video or anything, but follow down below to read how it was made.

SIP-Challenge-58

Join us this week the SIP here.

Stamp Ink Paper

The Details:

  • The Fish: With the Bow Builder punch the bow tie without the rectangle strip (you won’t need it). Use the fin looking piece to back the back of the fish.  With the longer piece you’ll need to use your paper snips to trip one side of the bow to make it a little round (as desired, after all…it’s your fish) LOL.  Use the “eyeball” measurement to figure how much to cut on the other side so that the fin comes through.  Then just adhere it together and wha-la your punch art masterpiece.
  • Fishing String: Everyone knows that fishing string is clear and since we don’t have clear thread or ribbon I used our Silver Metallic Thread to symbolize the fishing string.  I twirled it around my fingers to create a rope like circle around my hand and then just adhere it to the back of the fish with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It gives the fish a little pop off the label.
