Treat bags for B&C (grandchildren) filled with some goodies. Bags were from SSS included in the Halloween Stamptember kit, Mr. Skull-head is a Tim Holtz Sizzix framelits w/stamps and embossing folder. Ha-llama-ween Llama is a Reconciliations Halloween stamp set with 4 different llamas and a sentiment. Both on clearance at my Michael’s.
Have a BOO-tiful day!
My daughter, H, designed, stamped, die cut and anything else in the making of this card. I am sharing it for the joy it brought to my eyes to see her work. Enjoy!
The story behind this: My DH always has creative ideas. He saw a box card I made a few years ago, sitting in our dining room, and said I should make a card with a witch that would pop-up if you pulled a string. I do not have the patience for this, but my daughter gave it a try. She has the witch and ghost on a string, in photo two,they are hiding. The recipient pulls the hearts and those to elements pop up. This is a fun card. Hopefully she will make more.
This card was posted to the Mod Squad Challenge.
The stamps are from The Stamps of Life: Christmasgreetings2stamp and pinecones2stamp. The green inks are Lawn Fawn and the red berries are stamped in Gina K Designs Cherry Red ink. The white and red paper are both Stampin’Up, and the green is The Stamps of Life. The Merry Christmas greeting is embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder from Stampin’Up. This was the first time trying this powder. It seems to emboss fairly quickly.
The next card is one that I began for the speed challenge in blues. If the ornaments were stamped, punched, and laying there, I think they would have worked for the challenge. I decided to take my time and finish a card using the ornaments.
The blue inks used are Lawn Fawn. I added sparkle to the ornaments with a Sukura gel pen. The ornament hangers are gold thread. I scored the greeting to set it apart from the ornaments.
I went ahead and finished the inside of the card. I like the sentiments in the set I used.
The As You See It Challenge #212 was “I want you to color me – Quickly”. Blue and under 10 minutes. So I gathered up the GKD: Background Diagonal Stamp, Navy and White cardstock, navy and powder blue ink, Memory Box Snowflake Joy die, and some glitter dotted cardstock (unknown paper pad). Moved my Big Shot within reaching distance, the cardstock was ready so was the Misti….GO….Stamped the diagonal in navy — where’s the tidy towel pulling baby wipes turning the background stamp, inking with powder blue…done! Running the Joy die through the Big Shot not once, not twice but three times! (after the first time through the big shot discovered I had two pieces of cardstock — one went flying) Oh brother, all of those little pieces in the snowflake, found the pick and started pushing them out. I glued the J and Y in place layered three times leaving the snowflake for last in case I didn’t get three completed. I glued the middle snowflakes from the die to the card front too. If only I had a little more time, I would have added some bling to the little snowflakes and lined up that snowflake O a little better. My heart was racing but made it to the card front; my fingers are still blue but mission completed in 9 minutes and 50 seconds!
I worked on the As You See It speed challenge. It took a total of 7 minutes and 25 seconds. The cardbase was laying there scored, so I used it.
The stamp set used is SU Love What You Do. I used Lawn Fawn Blue Jay ink for the flower and greeting, Forget-me-Not for the background wash. Since this set had a stamp that was basically a wash of color, it made this challenge a lot easier. I tried using an ornament set with a punch. Stamping the ornament and punching it out took eight minutes, then there was a greeting, so I was out of time on that one. I will most likely finish it at a slower pace.
This card is for the 2 week ModSquadChallenge hosted by Joyce “Sentiment Says It All”. On my card I used GKD: Autumn Wreath Builder and StampnFoil Thankful Leaves, Lucky Clover layering cardstock and a combination of inks and distress oxides. The leaf stencil is from SimonSaysStamps. I added some gold thread as an accent. This is the softer version of my card and the one entered into the challenge.
Here’s the second version of the card, I inked the stencil and then topped with Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze (Glow in the Dark). I made more variations of this same card using kraft cardstock, brown, lucky clover cardstock. I added GKD Glitz Glitter Gel in gold to a few but it covers up the sponged inks so I think I like the glaze better.
Glitz or Soft??? Which one do you like better??
I used the Mini Wreath Builder to create my Happy Wreath. I used Blue Denim and Red Velvet to stamp Happy from Beautiful Balloons, matted with Red Velvet and Blue Denim. The Birthday sentiment is from Massive Messages stamped in Blue Denim. I’m entering this in the Stamp TV Monthly challenge and the Mod Squad Challenge. I linked this from the Stamp TV gallery to the Mod Squad Blog.
I picked up a really cute stamp and die set with 50% Michael’s coupon that I couldn’t resist . My patterned paper is Holiday Bash also from Recollections. I added some SimonSaysStamp Sensational Snowflakes in their glitter cardstock and since I wanted to showcase the patterned paper these are 5×7″ cards.
Thanks for looking. These will be for two girlfriends. We meet monthly for dinner and a cocktail so I believe they will get a kick out of them.
I created this card for the Mod Squad Challenge. I submitted the card from Split Coast Stampers to the site gallery.
I used the Noel set from Gina K Designs (retired) for the greeting. I love the stitched die look, so I used my GKD/Thermoweb Stitched Oval dies. The snowflakes were cut with a MFT Snowflake die; this is the middle size from that set of three dies. I added the gems to the center for a bit more bling. I like the Clean and Simple look.
