Cookie Cutter Christmas Ideas to Share

   I had a little time to play with the Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle that includes the stamps and punch.
  I really love this Reindeer.  So easy and cute to make multiples with this bundle.  I love my big shot but if you have to get a bunch of something done there is nothing like a punch,  The little tiny jingle bells are really sweet I was able to get them on the twine using a floss threader.  I used Tombo multipurpose glue to hold the bell and the twine where I wanted it.

   I hope you enjoy these ideas for using the cookie cutter punch and of course if you would like to buy the set I'd love it if you purchased from me.  Links are at the bottom of the post.

Blogging Friends Blog Hop!

 

Welcome to the FIRST ever “Blogging Friends Blog Hop!”

Up until one month ago we were a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators located all across the U.S. and Canada whom had never met before.  Well, actually, we still haven’t met yet (in person). . . But, through our common bond of Stampin’ Up! and a shared love of papercrafting we have created a fun new blog hop.  Please join us on the 1^st of every month to see what wonderful things we have created! 

For my project I made a simple square card.  What I love about it is the Designer series paper is cut to 4 x 4 so you can get 9 of these cards from one sheet of paper.  The black mat is cut to 4 1/8 square and the card base is 4 1/4 by 8 1/2.  If you watch the video I state this size wrong- 

The image is embossed with Black embossing powder and heat set.  the ribbon is tied with the two different ribbons careful layered together and tied around the mat as well at the DSP then the whole card front is attached to the card base with dimentionals.  The Envelope is cut down to 4 3/8 Square, sealed shut then the cut end has a panel of DSP 4 3/8 by 2 inches attached to it,  The panel of DSP  was scored along the long edge at 1/2 inch.  This is explained further in my video.  I hope you enjoy my little project-be sure to make you way around the hop and visit all the blogs!

May Intro to Stamping Class

Hello Stampers!  Today I'd like to share one of the two cards I'm doing in my Intro to stamping classes.  I will be doing this class three times this next week the first time was today in Huntingdon Valley with a group of ladies that live in my dear friend and customer Anita's Building.  The class was a Big hit!  We did one male and one female card.   This was our male card.  We used the Blue Ribbon Stamp Set, Gorgeous Grunge and some retired word sets.  The card stock is Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Midnight Muse.  Doesn't that ink splatter from Gorgeous Grunge look fun!

Hostess Club-2.0

 Hello Stampers!  Wow hostess club was yesterday and was it fun!  Yes!  Today I'm sharing the second of our two projects.  This one also uses a tag Topper Punch and the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set.  Sadly the Crochet Trim is on the retiring list.  Here are the instructions I made for my version of this Tab closure card.

Cut card stock for base at 8.5 x 11

Score at 3 5/8

1 Vanilla panel 2.5 x 5

1 Brown sugar mat  2.75 x 5.25

1vanilla panel 3.75 x 5

1 Brown sugar mat 4 x 5.25

Punch a tag topper out of the center of one of the sides of the card

Mark where the punch will need to be on the opposite edge of the card

Feed the second edge into the punch and line up the pencil marks so you can see where you need to punch

Line up the divot on either side of the punch with the channel on the paper trimer and cut away excess card stock.  Score the tab that is on the longer side of the card.  Fold over and line up the tabs.

Stamp and embellish as desired.

On inside panel you can mask off 1 ¼ inch of the right side and randomly stamp and sponge to create a decorative edge behind the tabs.

Second Card for my beginner stamping class for April

Easter Card

 Hello Stampers-today I'm sharing card two for my beginner stamping class.  By the way the class this month will be at the North Wales Area Library in the Borough of North Wales, PA  This Wednesday evening at 7PM.  I won't be doing a beginner class at the Blue Bell Library this Month.

   As I mentioned in my previous post the North Wales Gals asked me to do Wedding/Easter cards for them.  So this is the second card I designed that could be easily converted from Wedding to Easter.  Sadly by Wednesday this beautiful paper will no longer be available- if you need to get you some I suggest you go to my website and purchase $50 in product and select this Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper as you free gift.

Wedding Card-Love and Laughter Stamp Set

  I stamped all images in Calypso Coral, I colored the Rhinestones with a black alcohol based marker and layered it all together with Basic Black paper and our Tea time doilies.  The flowers are from the Boho Blossoms Punch.

    Thanks for stopping by.

Duckling Instructions

   I said I would share a little about each of the cards for my Easter Class later this month.  This Duckling card was fun.  I used the Chalk talk Framelit for the tag and also for the Beak on the Duckling.  I used the Backyard Basics egg framelit to cut my egg and duck body and I used the Star Burst Framelit to cut the egg down to look cracked open.  I used my Paper snips to cut around the bottom of the egg to trim away the Daffodille delight card stock that was hanging below the bottom edge of the eggshell. I used my small star punch folded in half to make the sprig of feathers out the top of ducklings head.  A Basic black marker and a q-tip dipped in Blushing Bride classic ink finished off the face.   I stamped the "Eggsta spectacular on the Bermuda Bay cardstock before I cut the tag out and colored the eggs a bit with a chalk marker.  The Basic Black Chevron Ribbon brought out the accents of black in this Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet DSP.  Hope you enjoy making a duckling of your own!
