Another fun card we made in my recent stamp class is this cool

Window Sheet Card.

It is a little difficult to photograph to fully capture the "cool factor" of this card..

The Window Sheet Overlay piece has been EMBOSSED with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder in the Big Shot, then placed over Island Indigo cardstock... it's so totally cool in person!

To attach the window sheet, use Snail under the strip of DSP and use one glue dot under the punched Mosaic piece.

 I wish I could remember who this idea came from.. it was from a swap at Convention .. if it was YOU, leave me a comment and let me know.

Quick Card with a WOW Factor

Shop Online Anytime and Earn FREE STAMPS

I LOVE this card, and so did my Stamp Class Students!

I received the idea in a swap from the amazing Jo Anne Hewins!

The supplies and technique are simple simon... but deliver quite the Wow Factor!

The STAR OF THE SHOW is the Wetlands stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Supporting actors are the Square Framelits and Stampin' Sponges!

I cut a square with the square framelits in a piece of the Coaster board (pg 156, #129392), and used that as a stencil to sponge Baked Brown Sugar and Coastal Cabana ink onto the Whisper White cardstock!  Then stamp the images from the Wetlands set with Baked Brown Sugar ink... how easy and fun is that!?

Holiday Catalog Blog Tour

 

WELCOME to the August 2013

Control Freaks

Blog Tour!!!

We are excited to bring you 

Samples from the

Stampin' Up!

Holiday Catalog!

You have probably reached me via Mindy Backes' great blog here...  and if not, be sure to travel backwards on the tour and visit her! :)

This Cute LIttle Treat Bag is one of the new Muslin Bags from the Holiday Catalog.  We made this at my Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting on Saturday. 

It is easy to use the stencils from the Build a Banner kit.. just mask off if you only want a couple rows like I did here.

I just used regular Pumpkin Pie Classic ink, because I didn't think this project would need to hold up in the wash or anything... if you need it more permanent, be sure to use Staz On ink or acrylic paints.

FEATURED PRODUCTS:

Muslin Bag #132180

Pumpkin Pie Chevron Ribbon #130015

Halloween Bash Stamp set  #130577 / 130580

Build a Banner kit #133507 (for the stencils)

My 2nd project features my FAVE new PUNCH>>> the Chevron Border punch!!

-----------------------------------------------

I had the unique opportunity to mail a birthday card to Wendy's grandpa who was turning 90.. I wanted something masuline but still fun... Here is what I came up with featuring the NEW Chevron Border Punch.

I thought it was kind of a good blend of masculine colors and textures and shapes.. nothing too frilly... I think the Chevron Border Punch is a great touch for masculine cards... don't you?

FEATURED PRODUCTS:

Chevron Border Punch #132154

Natural Composition DSP #126917

Island Indigo Chevron Ribbon #131151

Really Good Greetings #130031 / 130333
