Stamping 411 Sketch #266 Chock Full of Cheer

Hey!!!

I’ve got my First Christmas Card of the Year here. Late for me.

This is from the new Sketch from Stamping 411….hope you’ll play along.

Here is the sketch…

 

…and her is my take on it.

• The card base is Shimmer White Card Stock and cut to 5x 10 inches. It’s scored at 5”.
• The next layer is that of Gumball Green and cut to 3 3/8 square
• The next layer is embossed using an embossing folder and cut to 3 1/4 square.
• Then comes the fun DSP cut to3” square It’s called Be of Good Cheer.
• Then another layer of Gumball Green cut to 2 5/8 square
• Finally the shimmer white embossed piece cut to 2 1/2 square (sorry the folder I used is not in the catalog, my bad)
• Now I’m ready for the cute mittens. They are stamped in Gumball Green and cut out. I made the pom-poms with some of our bakers twine, sort of a tedious thing to do but oh so cute. Then I added some rhinestones to finish them off.
• The mittens are attached with dimensionals.

So what do you think of my Girly-Girl Mittens? I think my Granddaughter would love these!!!

Have a great weekend.

Stamping 411 Sketch 264-International Bazaar

Wow! We’ve got a great sketch for you today. Wait until you see……

I had so much fun with this sketch. I love the way this card turned out. Hope you do too.

Aren’t these colors scrumptious? Wowser…..I didn’t know I could use all these colors together!!! Just take a peek at the DSP and see what colors go with it and shazam  you’ve got a card!!!!

• The base of this card is done in Pool Party and cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
• The next layer is Rich Razzleberry and cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.
• The Designer Series Paper is International Bazaar and just gorgeous. It’s cut to 3 3/4 x 5. (this is my fav piece, boy was it hard to cut into it).
• Next is the Rich Razzleberry layer or mat cut to2 5/8 x 3 7/8. The image piece is 2 1/2 x 3 3/4
• I stamped the images from Summer Silhouettes in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.
• The bottoms piece is cit to 1 x 3 1/4 and run through the Big Shot using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder. Yummy!
• I had to of course add a bit of ribbon. So I did my bow using the Daffodil Delight Seam binding…boy did that tie it together.
• Final step is the verse stamped in Rich Razzleberry and it’s from World Treasure. It’s then cut out with the matching Framelit. I did pop that up with a dimensional.

I hope you liked my card this week. I love these colors together….don’t you?

Have a great weekend.

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #261

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready for some fun??? I hope you will play along this weekend…this sketch is so much fun to create with.

Here is the sketch:

…and my interpretation of it.

 

close up of the cute flowers

• My Card base is done in very Vanilla and cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
• The Vanilla Mat is cut to 4 x 5 1/4 and embossed with the Fancy Fan Folder
• Then I have Basic Gray Mat that is cut to 2 1/16 x 5 1/16 (I love tiny borders)
• The DSP (Fan Fair) is so pretty and cut to 2 x 5
• The Image mat in Basic Gray is cut to 2 13/16 x 4 5/16
• The Image piece is 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 and stamped with the Flourish from Everything Eleanor in Basic Gray.
• The cute little flowers are so delicate and fun. I had a scrap of the same DSP and used my little flower punch from the Trio Pack and punched out to match perfectly. I also took my stylus and pushed down in the center of them to curl them up a bit. Then added a pearl and attached with a glue dot.
• The sentiment is from Create a Cupcake and the Bitty Banners Framelit was used to cut it out.
• Let’s not forget the finishing touches of the Double Loop Bow done with the Vanilla Seam binding. Ooh-la-la!!

Want to know how I came up with this color combo? Well I knew I wanted to use this DSP so looked in my catalog to see what colors were coupled with it in the package.

Did you know that listed below every package of Designer Paper there is a list of the colors used in the paper? Well there is and boy did that make this card easy to do using that little bit of help. Try it! You’ll love the results.

As always, thanks for stopping in and don’t forget to go and visit the other Operators over at Stamping 411. You’ll be glad you did.

Stamping 411 Sketch 258

Hi Again!!!
Where did this week go, huh?
I’ve been so busy with classes and swaps and just trying to keep my head above water. ….but I did have time to do the sketch this week. Hope you like it.
Here is the sketch…

…and my simple interpretation….

This card was so easy to make. I almost felt like I was cheating. Here is what I did.

• White card base cut to 5 x 10, scored at 5” and folded
• Lucky Limeade cut to3 5/8 square
• White Image piece cut to 3 1/2 square
• DSP cut to 1 3/4 x 3 1/2
• I stamped the words from Just believe in Lucky Limeade at the top left.
• I then adhered the Floral District DSP to the bottom
• Made a Double loop bow with the Ruffle Lucky Limeade Ribbon and attached to the back of the Lucky Limeade Mat.
• I then attached that to the card itself.
• Butterflies were cut out of Lucky Limeade and Tangerine Tango to match the DSP. Fun huh?
• I then finished it off with little pearls for the bodies of the butteries…..hope you like.

That’s it for today. I wish you all a wonderful weekend and if you get a chance to play along we’d love to see you over at the Stamping 411
See you soon!

Stamping 411 Sketch 255~ Easy Events

Hi Everyone,
I’m back from Disney and finally catching up. Here we are with another sketch challenge from Stamping 411. Hope you will play along.
Here is the sketch:

….and my interpretation.

I’ve used the Easy Accents Set which I think is adorable. I love all the simple designs in this set.

• The card Base is cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and is Whisper White.
• I’ve attached a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Spring Fever Simply Scrappin’ Kit that was in the Occasions Mini. It measures 2 x 5 1/2,
• I then added a strip of Old Olive card stock cut to 1/2 x 5 1/2 to add above the DSP to finish it off.
• The Image Piece is cut to 2 7/8 x 4 1/4 . I stamped the cupcakes in Black Stazon starting with the center one so I could try and space evenly. I also omitted the saying below by inking only the cupcake.
• I used my aqua painter and ink pads to color the cupcakes and added a bit of 2-way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds to the frosting to make them yummy!!!
• Almost forgot the Mat for the image piece is 3 x 4 3/8 and the Melon Mambo Squares are cut to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and placed in the corners.
• I then popped the the whole image piece with mat and corners up on dimensionals and added a double loop bow done with Seam binding. It was attached with glue dots.

That’s it for today. I hope you will play along with us this week. There is always tons of fun and ideas over at the Stamping 411.
Have a great Saturday!

Stamping 411 Sketch #242 Party This Way!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another fun week of sketches from Stamping 411.

Here is today's sketch…how fun is this???

 

…and my interpretation.

I decided to do something a bit different for me. Okay so it’s still white but look at all that color!!! We’ve got Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder!! Hole Moly can you stand it?

The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and folded in half. The Wisteria Wonder Mat is cut to 4 x 5 1/4. The next mat is white and run through The Big Shot with the Stripes Embossing Folder…that’s the right side and it measures 2 x 4 3/4. The side with the words on it is cut to 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 and stamped randomly with the Happy Birthday Stamp from “Party this Way”. It’s one of the free sets for Sale-a-Bration.

I then stamped the balloons with all three colors and punched out with my 1 1/4” Square Punch and matted onto colored card stock of the same color punched with the Scalloped Square Punch. I added a bit of Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon to divide the two sides. 

My Party this Way arrow is colored with Markers and stamped on white and cut out. I then mounted it on Wisteria Wonder and cut again. It’s popped up with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed my share today and will take the time to see what the other Operators have done.

Have a great weekend.

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge # 241 Sprinkled Expressions

Hi Everyopne,
Ready for some more Stamping fun with the Stamping 411 Operators? Here we go.

This is the fun sketch…..
….and my interpretation. I really had fun with this one.

Card Base is Whisper White cut to 4 1/4 x 11( no surprise, huh) and the next layer is 4 x 5 1/4. I used a strip of the fun new DSP called Sweet Shop….look at those raided Polka Dots. Love it. That piece is cut to 1 1/2 x 4. The mats are done in Wisteria Wonder (Love it) and cut to 2 x3 (2 of them) and followed by two whisper white pieces that are cut to 1 7/8 x 2 7/8. One is run through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and the other is the image piece and it’s stamped with the Sprinkled Expressions Image in Wisteria Wonder. Added the sentiment from the same set, a few Rhinestones and a double bow to create this cute-cute card. Well at least I think it’s cute.
I hope you like it and will play along this week over at Stamping 411!!!
Happy Stamping!!!
