Here for You

Happy Thanksgiving! 

The card I am sharing today doesn't have anything to do with Thanksgiving, but here it is anyway....

I started with a sponge brayer and Peekaboo Peach ink on some Whisper White card stock.  Then I added my images and colored in some of the flower.  Next, I added some glitter with the Wink of Stella clear glitter brush on the petals.

A little corrugated paper, linen thread and Serene Scenery designer series paper and the card was compete.

Supplies:

You've Got This

Basic Black, Peekaboo Peach, Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party ink

Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock

Serene Scenery dsp

Corrugated paper

linen thread

Wink of Stella clear glitter brush

Celebrate You

Today I have a little box to share with you, I have shown you one similar to this before and it is a modified version of Erica Cerwin's design that you can find here.

I used Rich Razzleberry card stock for the base of the box and added some Corrugated paper around the top of the opening. 

The sentiment comes from Suite Sayings and I punched it out with the Note Tag punch.

Supplies:

Suite Sayings

 Soft Suede ink

Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White card stock

note tag punch

corrugated paper

tea lace paper doilies

Vellum Background

 

This scrapbook page is another example of using the Holiday Fancy foil designer vellum over card stock to make it not really look like you can see through it.  This would work with any of the fancy foil vellums, I just made sure to put the adhesive where it would be covered up by another element and would not show through.

 

I also used some various Project Life pieces and some corrugated paper .

 

I love those wooden elements!

 

Supplies:

Project Life Stampin' Up!

Whisper White, Real Red, card stock

This time of year (and about until the middle of July) if I am not shipping potatoes or cutting potato seed I might be found watching one of my boys play baseball.  

 

Hunter is in his second year of baseball at school and will play again this summer.  Wyatt will be playing this summer too, although they will be playing in different towns this year which could get interesting before it is all over. 

 

 

I like to get the team pictures and use them in Hunter's scrapbook even though I usually get some action shots and put them on another page. This time I used some Holiday fancy foil designer vellum paper over the top of Whisper White as part of my background.

 

My letters were cut with the Big Shot using the white corrugated paper.

 

Supplies:

Simply Sports

Basic Black ink

Night of Navy, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock

Holiday fancy foil designer vellum

Celebrate You Box

 

I was playing around with my Gift Box Punch Board the other day and decided to use some of the Shine on specialty paper to make a little box.  

 

I chose to start with a 12" x 12" piece of card stock and followed the directions on the punch board for that size...

 

Then I folded down the top pieces and attached them on the outside of the box before adding some buttons and wrapping Corrugated paper around it.

 

I took another piece of Shine on specialty paper and cut it down to 4" x 9" and scored it at 1" and 5" and added it to the inside of the box and used it as a lid.

 

You can see I attached the flaps to the inside walls of the box before I added the "lid".

 

Supplies:

Suite Sayings

Cucumber Crush ink

Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry card stock

Tea lace paper doily

designer buttons

Gift box punch board

1 3/4" and 2" circle punches

Your Goodness

 

I really like the versatility of the sayings in the Something to Say stamp set.  It is the one I chose for this simple card and I paired it with some English Garden designer series paper.

 

I punched out my sentiment with the Label bracket punch and added some white corrugated paper behind it.

As promised I have another sample using the A Nice Cuppa stamp set and again it is paired with the Cups and Kettles framelits.  This time, I used part of a Project Life card for one of my layers.  It comes from the Memories in the Making collection.

 

I added some lemons to the card after I cut it down to 3 3/4" x 5" and then added it to some Watermelon Wonder card stock.

 

A little bit of Corrugated paper and another half of the Tea lace paper doily completed the card.

Love You Sew

 

There is one hostess exclusive stamp set in the back of the Occasions catalog and it is definitely made for crafters.  I have two quite simple cards to share with you that I made from it.

 

The first uses a strip of Love Blossoms designer series paper  as an accent as well as a designer series button.  I cut out the thread and added it to next to the sentiment with a Stampin' dimensional.

 

The second uses a piece cut with the Tags and Labels framelits for the sentiment, some corrugated paper and an antique brad - I thought I should use a hole punch when I was talking about one!

 

Supplies:

Love you Sew

Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Rose Red, Crumb Cake ink

Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White card stock

Timeless Textures

 

Today I have a very simple card using one of the images in the Timeless Textures stamp set in the Occasions catalog (which goes live tomorrow!!).

The sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.

Going Global

 

I wanted to pair the Going Places designer series paper with the Going Global stamp set for an upcoming stamp a stack card and this is what I came up with.  

 

I stamped the globe image with Crumb Cake ink and then the sentiment over the top with Basic Black ink.  Then, I stamped the sentiment again on another piece of Very Vanilla and cut out the banner and attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Noel

 

This card came about because I happen to have the wooden "noel" sitting on my scrap room table and thought I should use it someplace!  I added some snowflakes from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set...

 

and then some Watercolor Wonder washi tape, linen thread and Corrugated paper before adding the "noel".

Life Is Good

 

I have found too many wooden pieces that I want to alter this fall!  This is a small pallet type piece that I distressed with ink and stamped on before adding my other elements.

 

I embossed a piece of glassine paper with the Woodland folder and then sewed it onto a piece of corrugated paper...

 

then, I sewed some designer series paper onto a piece of card stock...

 

added some linen thread leftover from the September Paper Pumpkin kit, pictures, buttons and a few other elements...

 

and came up with a Christmas gift!

Fun Stamp Case Gift

 

I always have some stamp cases laying around in various sizes so that if I want to put together a little gift with them I have them ready to go.  The one I used on this project is the half size and I added some designer series paper from the Season of Cheer collection behind the plastic covering.

 

Than, I stamped my sentiment and punched it out with the Note Tag punch and layered it on some more designer series paper that I punched with the Ornate tag punch.

 

A little linen thread, some white perfect accents and corrugated paper and the front of the case is ready to go...

 

On the inside, I added some cute little arrow post it notes that came in a Project Life kit awhile ago that I had not used, a regular size post it note pad and some lip gloss and hand sanitizer.

 

The lip gloss and hand sanitizer are attached with little Velcro pieces so that once you take them off, you can put them back in place again and they will stay there.

Friendly Wishes

One Big Meaning

 

During the stamp sale that Stampin' Up! recently ran, I purchased the One Big Meaning stamp set (page 16 of the big catalog).  It is one I am sure will be put to lots of use in the future and I chose to use it on this card as well.

 

I started with a Basic Black background and added white corrugated paper and circles punched from the Go Wild designer series paper along with my sentiment.  Then I added a few White perfect accents to complete it.

 

Supplies:

One Big Meaning

Basic Black ink

Basic Black, Whisper White card stock
