Wonderfall Thoughts

Wonderfall

This is a card that we made for stamp camp last year that I never posted. We used a lot of tools for this one as you can tell from the supply list! It wasn’t a difficult card though, just stamping, sponging and die cutting. The die we used wasn’t a framelit, but rather a bigz die. The stamps are made to work with  the die; so the easiest way to use them together is to cut the card stock first, and then lay the diecut on the inked stamp with it facing image up. Then rub from the back of the paper.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wetlands

Wetlands

Here is a a simple but pretty card that we made at Stamp Camp this month.

The background is made by sponging (with daubers) ink onto a clear acrylic block and then spritzing with Alcohol. It needs to be fairly wet. Allow the colors to run together a bit and then “stamp” the block on your card stock to create the Background. I suggest letting it dry completely and then ironing the back of the card stock or pressing it in a book for a few days to straighten out any warping caused by the alcohol.

I stamped the goose image once on the background once it was dry and then stamped it again on Very Vanilla card stock. I used blender pens to color in the goose and then cut it out (just the body) and popped it up over the original stamped image. The sentiment, button and linen thread finished off the card.

I hope you are enjoying this lovely fall weather that is inspiring my creations! Be sure to check out the new weekly specials, packaging bundles and MDS specials for November. You can view them on my Specials Page.

Gently Falling Grunge

Gently falling

I used the Gorgeous Grunge set to  “grunge” up this quick fall card. It’s a fun and  simple technique. I sponged and roughed up the edges to add a little more distressing. I love the size of the stamps in this set, they are large enough to add a lot of detail in a very short time. Adding the washi tape over the image gives it even more depth, because of the semi translucent nature of the tape. This was one of our Stamp Camp cards this month. Quick and fun.

Be sure to check out the Thankful Thursday deal today. There are several punches specially priced at only $11.16! Artisan Label, Bitty Butterfly, Hexagon, Mosaic, Pansy

Happy Stampin!

I really like how this turned out.  I love that fall weather is finally here and this card  reminds me of a walk outside. I frayed the burlap ribbon to give it a wispier feel.

I used a Variegated stamping technique to get the multicolored look on the leaf. The leaf stamp was inked up in Crushed Curry, and then Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler were added with sponge daubers before stamping the image on Very Vanilla card stock. The rhinestones were colored with Sharpie markers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best of Halloween Flip Card

Halloween flip card

Here is a Spooky flip card that I made using the new Circle Card Thinlets, a die that cuts and scores this fun fold! To get the DSP to line up nicely, I just used the thinlet to cut it. Then I trimmed it down to fit the card. The image is stamped on a white circle and then sponged to add the color. I cut the bats from an image in the Halloween Bash set.

I hope you get to stamp today!

World Card Making Day

Best of Halloween

Today is World Card Making day. I hope you get a chance to stamp today! If you do, be sure and snap a picture of your card and send it to Stampin’ Up! to be entered to win a prize

There are two ways to enter:

  • E-mail a photo of a card, or of you making a card, made with Stampin’ Up! product on World Cardmaking Day to wcmd2013@stampinup.com.
  • Post a photo of a card, or of you making a card, made with Stampin’ Up! product on World Cardmaking Day on Instagram. Mention us by typing @stampinup and use the hashtag #wcmd2013 in the description.

I am getting addicted to the Washi Tape! They are just fun to play with and mix and match. I really love how they make it easy to “fill in” anywhere your design “needs something”.  For a smaller image like this, they are the perfect background. I handcut the little bats from another image in the Halloween Bash set. I love the little bat image and have used it on several projects. The tombstone background is a Windows framelit piece that has 3 of the sides cut down.

I have another Perfectly Preserved card for you today. I’m keeping it fall and Thanksgiving themed for at least another post or two! These little pears look so sweet embossed with the Iridescent Ice powder. This is one of those cards that looks so much better in person!

The 24 hour cooking marathon is about to begin at our house……enjoy the festivities, everyone!
