Beautiful Moments Tile

 I decided to stamp onto this craft tile using 

the 'Beautiful Moments' stamp set!

Oh what fun!

And it was so easy to do!

 Isn't it just sooo pretty!!!!!

How did I do it?

• I stamped using Memento ink onto the craft tile.
• I then colored it using my Stampin' Blends.
• I lightly sealed it using a Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss.

 I have a cork square piece on the back side of this tile.

I WILL NOT use this as a true coaster, as I don't want it to get wet.

I will display it by getting an easel stand for it.

stamp set:  'Beautiful Moments

Stampin' Blends:  Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light Old Olive, Dark Crumb Cake, Ivory

other:  Wink of Stella (added this over the flowers)

 

I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!!

Happy Stamping!

Clever Cats

 This is a cute little Post-It-Note cover I made & decorated it

using the 'Clever Cats' stamp set & Cute Halloween DSP!

 

I love the big smile on this pumpkin!

The Post-It-Notes are 3x3".

I used Tear & Tape to attach them to the inside of this cover.

This is the pattern I made-

1. Pumpkin Pie- 3 1/4 x 7 3/8" 
2. Score at 3 1/8", 3 1/2" & 3 7/8"
3. Fold on score lines.
4. Then make 2 cuts between the score lines to make the pen holder.
5. Now add Tear & Tape between the score lines on the right side, as shown above.  Be sure you don't add it to the little center piece that will pop out & hold your pen!
   

 

Here are are the measurements & supplies.

stamp set:  'Clever Cats'

card stock:

• Pumpkin Pie- 3 1/4 x 7 3/8"
  
• Basic Black- 2 1/4 x 2 1/4"

Time of Giving

 

This is a clean, simple & cute holiday card.

I used the words from the 'Time of Giving' stamp set,

along with the Deer Builder Punch.

 

NOTE:  This Plaid DSP is no longer available

as it from the Peaceful Prints Sale-a-bration DSP pack.

This is how I stamped the inside of it.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set: 'Time of Giving'

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

Be Jolly Santa

 

Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Check out this Holly Jolly Christmas card! 

I used the 'Be Jolly' & 'Holly Jolly Wishes' stamp sets 

on page 29 in the Holiday Catalog.

 

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my 

Holiday Extravaganza class a couple of weekends ago.

This Santa just makes me smile.

I made a pocket on the inside of the card, 

so that you could slide a gift card (or cash) into it!

 

How did I do it?

It is sooo easy......

1. 4x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock
2. Slide the Tailored Tag Punch up from the bottom of the cardstock, as far as it will go.
3. Center it so that it is even on both the left & right sides.
4. And NOW punch.
5. When adding the adhesive- make sure that you only add adhesive to the outside edges.  Do not add adhesive to the center, as you don't want to close up your 'gift card pocket'!

Here are the measurements & supplies.

stamp sets:  

• 'Be Jolly'- Santa
• 'Holly Jolly Wishes' (words)
  

card stock:

• Cherry Cobbler-5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  
• Basic White- 2 x 5 1/4"- stamp words onto the upper right corner for front of card
  
• Basic Black- 3/4 x 5 1/2"- for belt
  
• Gold Foil- 1 x 1"- for belt buckle
  
• Basic Black- 3/4 x 3/4"- for belt buckle
  
• Cherry Cobbler- 3 1/4" strip- die cut scalloped circle
  
• Basic White- 3" strip- die cut circle & stamp Santa onto
  
• Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  

designer paper:  Sweet Stockings DSP-  1 1/2 x 5 1/4"

ink:  Cherry Cobbler & Memento

Stampin' Blends:  Dark Cherry Cobbler; Ivory; Dark Daffodil; Light Basic Black

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Layering Circle Dies; Wink of Stella; Tailored Tag Punch; dimensionals

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!

Evergreen Elgance

 WOW!

I love this card too!

It is a totally Susie card!

 

It is a fun center gate card, with the front panel off set & layered onto it!

To make the trees a little more mute- I added a piece of Vellum over the top of them!

 

How do you adhere the Vellum to the card stock with the trees on it?

Use Seal or Seal Plus!  

They both work great!  

I just added a little Seal Plus (my favorite adhesive) 

to the 4 corners of the vellum & pressed onto the stamped trees.

And check out the pretty embossed Pines!

They are from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder that is 

on page 155 in the Annual Catalog!

 This is what it looks like when opened up!

 You could change the words on this card & it could be 

a card for almost any occasion!

card classes will be making with me!

Peaceful Cabin

This is a totally Susie card.

I just LOVE how it turned out!

Clean, simple & elegant!

These words pretty much say it all for this card don't you think!

I used the awesome 'Peaceful Cabin' Bundle!

It is just a simple Z fold!

 

Look at these COOL embossed Snowflakes!

WOW!

They are from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder combo pack

on page 155 in the Annual Catalog!

How did I do this?

 

NOTE:  I used my Stamparatus for positioning when stamping the trees & the cabin!

1. snowflake DSP= 2 x 4"
2. Layer onto a Smoky Slate piece of card stock= 3 1/4 x 4 1/4"
3. Stamp trees at the top edge of a piece of Basic White card stock= 3 x 4" & then die cut.
4. Stamp words onto the bottom edge of this piece of card stock (under the trees).
   
5. Stamp cabin on lower edge of a piece of Basic White card stock= 3 x 4" & then die cut.

Whimsical Trees

Wow- these are sure not traditional Christmas colors, 

but I love the way this card turned out!

What do you think?

 

Have you ever thought of combining Blushing Bride & Mint Macaron
