Simple Saturday with Stampin' Up! Merry Moose

Today is simple Saturday!! 

And LOOK at this AWESOME NEW Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder!

Oh my gosh- I LOVE IT! 

I used this as my main background......

and then added just a couple of trees, the moose & some words.

This is a super simple card for me, but I really like it!

It sure makes a great all occasion guy card!

 

NOTICE how I got 2 colors of trees, using just one ink pad!

To stamp the trees like this, I stamped the one on the left full strength

and then DO NOT RE-INK your stamp- just stamp the tree again. 

This will give you a lighter shad for the other tree.

This technique is called shadow stamping.

You can't tell by the photos very well, but I did add Wink of Stella 

to the 2 evergreen trees that are in the circle.  

You can never go wrong with a little sparkle!

stamp set:  'Lots to Celebrate' (words); 'Merry Moose'

card stock:

• Old Olive- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base & emboss using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder
  
• Crumb Cake- 1/4 x 5 1/2"; 2" strip- stamp moose using Soft Suede ink & punch out
  
• Whisper White- 3 x 3"- die cut stitched circle & then stamp trees; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  

inks:  Soft Suede; Old Olive

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Stitched Shapes (Large Circle); Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder; Moose Punch; dimensionals; Wink of Stella

I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

Starburst Fall card

 

Here is a fun fall card!

 

I haven't done a starburst card for a long time.....so I "played" when making this fall card!

I used some DSP & I also stamped some card stock leave images too!

For the stamped leaf images, I used my 'Lots to Celebrate' stamp set.

How did I do it?

• I took 2 pieces of DSP that measured 1 1/2 x 4" each.
• I laid them in my paper cutter, at opposite diagonals- like shown above & cut them both at the same time.
• I then took 2 pieces of Cajun Craze cardstock that also measured 1 1/2 x 4" each
• I stamped leaves on them (from my 'Lots to Celebrate') stamp set.  
• I laid them in my paper cutter, at opposite diagonals- like shown above with the DSP & cut them both at the same time.
• I then added them to a piece of 3 3/4 x 5" Very Vanilla card stock. 
• I started by marking the top edge of the card stock at 2 1/2" for the center of the card.  This is where I butted up the 2 different center strips to start the starburst.
• I added the other strips then to completely cover this 3 3/4 x 5" Very Vanilla card stock. 

•  This is what it looked like when I got all of the diagonal strips adhered.

• I turned it over & used my scissors to trip off the edges, all of the way around it.

stamp set:  'Beautiful Autumn'

card stock:

• Early Espresso- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 5 x 1/4"
  
• Cajun Craze-4 x 5 1/4"; 1 1/2 x 4"- cut at diagonal; 1 1/2 x 4"- cut at diagonal
• Very Vanilla- 3 3/4 x 5"- adhere the diagonals to this; 1 1/2" strip- stamp words onto & die cut out with Tasteful Label Dies; 5 x 1/2"; 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP- 1 1/2 x 4"; 1 1/2 x 4"

ink:  Cajun Craze & Early Espresso

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Tasteful Label Dies; Forever Greenery Trim Combo- Very Vanilla ribbon; dimensionals; glue dots

Lots to Celebrate- a Halloween card!

 

 Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to create cards, treats & home decor for!

So I had lots of fun making this.

 

I used the jar image from my 'Lots to Celebrate' stamp set & made this super cute Halloween card! 

Check out these spiders!!!

They are from the 'Festive Corners' stamp set!

What great "All Occasions" stamp set both of these stamp sets are!

Don't these spiders work great for hanging in this jar!

 

Notice how I stamped the spiders upside down to get a longer 'string' on them.

This way they could be different lengths.

And those upside down spiders at the top of the jar will be covered up by the lid!

So you will never see them!

Gift Wrapped Bundle- Christmas card

 Is it too early for Christmas?  Nope.....I don't think so.....as it will be here sooner than we think.  And since our NEW August-December (Holiday) Mini Catalog is out, I just couldn't resist using this awesome new bundle.  It is called- 'Gift Wrapped'!  I love punches- so I'm lovin' this!

 

Yesterday I posted a TRY THIS SKETCH!!  

 This is what the sketch was.  

I posted a birthday card yesterday using this stamp set & sketch!

And today's card is a Christmas card!

Look how I used the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch for the words.

I didn't want the words to be quite as big as the original punch image was.  So I made it smaller.

So HOW DID I DO IT?

• Punched out a Whisper White Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch.
• Stamped the words in the top 2/3rd of this,
• Then slid the punched out piece, back into the punch & re-punched it.
• It is so easy!  AND it gives you another option for a smaller fun punch!

This is what it now looks like & how much I punched off!  Neat huh!

I colored some Basic Rhinestones (that are clear) with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend.  

And I also colored the center stripe in the bow with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend too- to make it more defined.  And then I added some Wink of Stella over the top of it.  It is tone on tone- but sure make it pop & look different!!  I love the way it changed the whole look of the bow. 

stamp set:  'Gift Wrapped'

card stock:

• Shaded Spruce- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
