August Stamp-A-Stack

I’m sorry it’s been a long time between postings again. Please keep checking back for updates.

These are the cards we made at our August Stamp-A-Stack. I changed the class so that we now make 2 cards each of 3 designs rather than 2 cards each of 5 designs. I think this amount is a little easier for everyone.

Mini Milk Carton

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Here’s another project using the Mini Milk Carton die. I used a window sheet from the retired Night & Day Speciality paper from the 2009-2010 Holiday Mini catalog. The window sheet is thick so you should use a bone folder to fold on the score lines.




I used Sticky Strip to adhere the milk carton but it wouldn’t hold the back of the carton closed (behind the flower), so I used a brad to close it. I adhered the Sweet Pea stitched felt flower with glue dots, filled the carton with pink and green Skittles, and there you have it, a very simple but cute project.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great long weekend, and have fun stampin’ and creatin’!

Circle Circus clear card

I created the following card several months ago but didn’t post it to my blog because I sent it in to some contests. The contests are past and I didn’t win, so I can share the card with you now.

Stamp set: Circle Circus, Define Your Life
Paper: Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White card stock, Medium Window Sheet
Ink: Black StazOn, White StazOn
Accessories: 1/16” circle punch, ¼” Basic Black grosgrain ribbon, Vintage brad, Filigree Designer brad, glue dots, SNAIL adhesive, bone folder, paper cutter, Craft & Paper scissors

(It’s difficult to photograph clear sheets, so sorry for the bad picture)

I had fun creating this card. It came together quickly and looks like what I had imagined before I started working on it. The best part is that I finally had time to create a project that was of my own design. I have many original ideas running around in my head but not a lot of time to work on them. I’m sure you know what that’s like ;)

I hope you get a chance to sit down and create something of your own this weekend. Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays challenge

My friend Micki asked me to be a guest designer this week over at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays. The challenge is to create a Halloween card using any vendor product, any color and any embellishment you want. The winner will receive a great prize package, so be sure to enter your Halloween projects in this challenge.

I don’t have any Halloween stamps except for one little greeting so I challenged myself to create a Halloween card using the products I had on hand. This is what I came up with:

Stamp set: All Holidays
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White card stock, Night & Day Specialty DSP
Ink: Black StazOn, Whisper White Craft
Accessories: 1 3/8” square punch, Scallop oval punch, Large oval punch, Big Shot machine, Texture Plates Kit #4, Little Leaves die, Daisies #2 die, 5/8” Whisper White Jumbo brad, sponge, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin’ dimensionals, paper trimmer

Here is a great video on how to create a Top Note quilt like the one on my card:
http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2009/04/faux-quilt-card-.html

I created another card, this time using the frame from the Top Note quilt:

Stamp set: All Holidays
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Black card stock, Night & Day Specialty DSP
Ink: VersaMark, Whisper White Craft
Accessories: 1 3/8” square punch, Big Shot machine, Texture Plates Kit #4, Little Leaves die, Daisies #2 die, White emboss powder, 5/8” Whisper White Jumbo brad, sponge, SNAIL adhesive, Stampin’ dimensionals, paper trimmer

I used a texture plate on the Basic Black card stock for both cards, and rubbed Whisper White Craft ink over the texture to give it a “spookier” look. Here’s a close up of this detail:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my non-traditional Halloween cards. Be sure to visit Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays to view the projects of the other designers and to participate in the challenge.

Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!
