8/21 Stampin' Up! Chevron Trick or treat!, Tags 4 You with Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper

Good Morning Friends!

I made a batch of these last week to send to my August and September hostesses.  I have been booking holiday private classes and one of my friends just ended up getting $80 in free product and 2 half price items!  I am so excited for her to get her package!!

So for this card I started with The Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!  I took one piece of 12 x 12, and cut it at 4" twice, then cut the 4 x 12" strips down to 4 x 3."  That gave me 12 pieces from one sheet.  Next. I cut a 1 x 4 inch strip off the bottom and flipped it over.  I put the darker of the two patterns on the bottom to add some visual weight to the bottom side.

I go back to this layout over and over again because it lends itself to minimal waste when you're making your cards.  The layer underneath the two pieces of dsp is 4 1/4" x 3 1/4".  So, I took a piece of 8 1/2" x 11 and cut it down the middle the long way.  This gives me two pieces that are 4 1/4" x 11.  I cut 6 pieces of the pumpkin pie layer from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11.  So to make 12 cards you'd need one piece of DSP and 2 pieces of pumpkin pie so far.  I added some dimensionals to the back of this layer to make it pop up from the layer underneath, and added a very small piece of Pumpkin Pie 3/4" Chevron Ribbon with a few glue dots. 

On top of this layer I added a strip of the new, FABULOUS, coordinating Witches' Brew Washi tape and just stuck it around the back and tore it off.  It rips off very easily for me, and I don't need scissors.  On top of that layer, I added a single line of sticky strip.  I pulled the red backing off and poured on some of the new GORGEOUS black glitter from the holiday mini.   

Next, I took 3 pieces of Basic black cardstock and cut them to 5 x 3 3/4", giving me enough for 12 cards.  I ran that through Big Shot with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I scored 6 sheets, of 8 1/2" x 11" vanilla down the middle at 4 1/4" and cut them in half at 5 1/2" to make the card bases.  I also cut out a shape from the apothecary accents framelits to frame my focal point!  I embossed this layer with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  also, and sponged it with basic gray ink.

Finally, I get to talk about the AWESOME focal point!!  Check out the black, sparkly glitter, against the pumpkin pie!  Doesn't it pop?  This effect I was able to get by using versamark ink, and heat and stick powder.  It's so easy!! Here are the steps!

1. Just stamp your image using the versamark watermark.  
2. Pour on the heat and stick powder.
3. Heat on setting 1 with your heat gun, just until the powder turns clear.
4. Sprinkle your black glitter on top.
5. Heat again on setting 2 with your heat gun to get the powder to stick.
6. Next, I used the Bracket Label Punch to Punch out the image!

Easy Peasy, lemon squeezy!

Well, I went a little crazy with the descriptions today.  Here's a quick shopping list if you need it.

10/18 Stampin' Up! Monster Munchies ~ cards from scraps

I should never clean the studio by myself.  I just do not have the strength to walk away from unused scraps and the studio doesn't end up clean!  Here's a fun spider cider card that went together in just a few minutes.  I laid the ribbon scraps down in a circular shape and just added some snail adhesive in the center.  The ribbon pieces were much larger, so I just cut them down, then added the cut off pieces to the card too!  

The card base and embossed layer was sitting in another bin from last month's stamp club.  So lucky for me!  I really only took about a 10 minute break to make this cute card!  The photo doesn't reveal that it's super shimmery.  I used shimmer white card stock and stamped on the second layer, then punched out the spider cider from that layer.  

I glued all the layers together and you can't see the hole. :) Love that!  I added the spider cider cut out with dimensionals to make sure they stay put and to add a little dimension {of course}.

Base: Tangerine Tango 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Layer 2: Shimmer white 5 x 3 3/4"

Layer 3: Basic black, 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Layer 4-10 or more: Lots of ribbon scraps!

Layer on top of that is the jumbo oval, cut from layer 2.  :)

Here's the Shopping list and links to purchase any of these products.

Stamps: Monster Munchies stamp set Clear Mount 127901 or Wood Mount 127904

10/18 Stampin Up! Ghoulish Googlies Scrapbooking

Good Morning Friends!

I'm getting back on schedule with a scrapbooking class tomorrow night.  Friends will make 4 pages for $20 and can take $10 off the class price with an order (minimum $25).

Check out the glimmer paper that we're turning tangerine tango!  I love how sparkly this paper is. 

These pages are stunning in real life.  I'm not sure the photo does them justice.  There's LOTS of bling, and LOTS of eyes. watching us in time for Halloween. 

Also to share, I've got some BIG plans!  I'm planning to do a 25 days of Christmas on my blog.  You won't want to miss it! 

10/2 No Stamps Required!

Good Morning Friends!

It's so important for dad to have an updated picture of the princess!  I decided to take this photo and put it on a card front to make it easy for him to display in his office.  Now instead of a frame, he's got it on paper to hold it and we can just cut it down when the time comes for the scrapbook. 

I got this photo yesterday, the picture of the picture isn't the best, but it's an awesome photo.  My baby is starting to lose her little kid look.  We found her Halloween costume yesterday, and the best part is that we found one that didn't cost a fortune! 


So for this project I used basic grey and wisteria wonder cardstock and the striped satin ribbon from the mini. I really don't need more embellishments.  I think my little one sparkles on her own!  {just sayin}

Hugs to you!

8/30 Stampin' Up! Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit and Coffin Pouch from the Petal Cone Die, FREE TUTORIAL

Good Afternoon Friends!

I've been wanting to share this cute little coffin project for WEEKS!  However, when Stampin' Up called and asked me to present in Providence, I saved this project for them!

Well, I've finally got my act together here (and the internet back) and I'm ready to show you how to make this STINKIN' CUTE pocket with the coffin die. 

So, if you follow my blog, hopefully you'll remember this project from a week or two ago.  I took the very cool Ghoulish Googlies favor bag kit and made these cute bags at my friend Diane's workshop.

Well, because the kit has 10 bags, and 20 tags that you can stamp and decorate, I decided I needed another project to use up my supplies.  Form sometimes follows function.  :)  If you missed that post you can read about how I made the bag at this link.

The coffin is SUPER simple when you use the petal cone die
and make 4 simple cuts.  Here's how you make the coffin.


1.  Start by cutting out a petal cone die.  I used a half a piece of black card stock cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

 2. Fold up the pouch and place the line that is made by the die on the 3 1/4" mark on your paper cutter.  I like using my stampin up tabletop paper cutter Page 180, item number 106959  because it will go through 3 layers at a time without a problem and with the folds, there are 3 layers here.

3. Flip the die cut piece over & again using that same line, measure at 1  1/4" and cut the top off.  

 

4. So, this is what the piece looks like at this point.  

 

5. Now cut the corners on the 1 1/4" side, to make the coffin shape like this. 

6. Add sticky strip

7.  A little more sticky strip along the flap. I know it is in the pictures, but pull the bottom piece first!

8. Here is what the finished pouch base looks like. 

 9. then decorate the pouch and fill it with something fun.  I made additional samples that I showed at the regionals, including a mummy!  But, the samples went home with Stampin' Up!  and I forgot to snap a photo.  (I know, Boo)... but what can YOU do with a coffin pouch?    

Most of all, I love that I used every shred of material that came in the $8 Ghoulish Goolies kit and I was able to do two projects for 10 people at a private class with a small amount of materials.  LOVE THAT!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and if you like my projects, please leave me a comment and say hi!  (((hugs to you)))

8/29 Stampin' Up! Monster Munchies and Illuminate Ink Pad

Good Afternoon Friends!

I'm still catching up, recovering from having no internet connection for two days.  I guess I didn't realize just how much I work!  :)

Today I have another project that I shared with my fellow demonstrators at the Providence RI Regional Seminar.   I didn't hear a THING from the stage, but my friends at the table said that the whole crowd **gasped** then **ooohed** when I took the illuminate pad and smooshed it right on top of the spider web embossed black card stock on this card.  Just smack it down on the card stock and rub it on, direct to paper.

This card went together so quickly!  I love how the panel going across looks like a pumpkin.  I attached a 2" strip of designer paper to a 2 1/2" tangerine tango piece of cardstock, then cut it with the largest piece of the apothicary accents framelits.

I stamped the "happy BOO from me to you" with the new illuminate watermark as well and just cut that with a framlit (from the same pack) too!  I added a really thick coating of the silver dazzling details.  Finally I tied it up with some of the new scalloped tulle ribbon.  This stuff is the BEST!  you just have to be able to tie your shoes and fluff and you get a perfect bow every time! 

I hope you're having a great day today!

Shopping List:
Stamps:  Monster Munchies Stamp Set (wood mount or clear mount)
Ink: Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad
Paper: Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, very vanilla, basic black, tangerine tango
Accessories: Crumb Cake 3-1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies

Thank you for stopping by.

8/18 Stampin' Up! Gooly Ghouls Designer Kit and Champagne Glimmer Paper

Good Morning Friends!

Today's project share is a treat bag I did at my friend's "mommy and me" private class at the beginning of this month.  We made two Halloween treats, a girl birthday, and a boy birthday card.  The mom's and children squealed with delight after they ran these AWESOME new glassine bags through the big shot.  As much fun as it was to see the bags embossed, I felt they needed some "pop" so after it came out of the big shot, I had the children lay the bags down on their protective paper, and randomly run a stazon ink pad over the top to add ink that wouldn't move, and some color to the front of the spider web!  Wicked fun!  So in the kit you get 10 bags, and 20 tags.  10 are round (as shown here) and 10 are oblong.  We used those on the second project which I'll hopefully share next week.  I want to write you a little tutorial for that one because it is "off the hook coolness," Just sayin'

I had 10 people, including my own daughter, Alexis.  So, there were 5 moms and 5 kids (ages 7-10), and we used the full contents of one $7.95 kit at the workshop.  Plus, each mom and child got a small bag of candy corn to eat share and decorate the inside of the bag. 

Here's what the kit looks like:

• 20 printed double sided tags 10 of each in two designs
• 10 galssine bags with die-cut edges: each 3x5" x 1 1/2"
• 50 adhesive-backed googly eyes (ea. 5 mm)
• 10 pieces Pumpkin Pie/Whisper White Baker's Twine, ea. 8" (color exclusive to this kit). 

Colors are Basic Black, Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White.  I added a little glimmer paper, and dimensionals, glue dots and a 1/16" hole punch, plus the Ghoulish Ghouls Stamp set.  

If you purchase the stamp set in clear, it's only $12.95, if you bundle it with one of the kit's it's priced to save you 15%.  So the stamp set AND kit in clear is only 16.95, that's like paying $4 for the kit!  Wood mount is priced $4 higher for both.   This is so affordable to do for the kids for Halloween so THEY can give treats.

So my workshop "wow" was running the bags through the big shot and then adding some stazon ink.  I pre punched some champagne glitter paper  with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch.

Next I had the kids make a simple swoop with their ribbon and a few glue dots to stick it to itself behind the tag on top.  They stuck it with glue dots to tack it, but added some liquid glue to cement it in between the layers.  They stamped the bat from the coordinating Gooly Ghouls stamp set and attached that to the glittery punched piece with dimensionals. At this point my own little one Alexis (7 years old) pipes up and says: "I love using dimensionals, because you can stick them on the back of your element and wait to put them on your project when you're ready"  WOW, Go Alexis!  I want to recruit my 7 year old! :)  Finally the children put the sticky eyeballs on.  I don't know how I missed those in my photo.  I think I skipped mine because Alexis showed them how to do that with their paper snips.  The sticky backed eyeballs that shake come in the kit too, but you can buy them separately (qty 50) for $2.50.  yea baby!  

Finally, I had the children punch a hole or two side by side one another using the 1/16th" hole punch and run the pumpkin pie bakers twine through.  (that twine color is exclusive to this kit).  All and all we had a fun day.  I don't usually do workshops with kids, but when the kids are such good kids (like this group was), it makes it fun for me!  

Shopping List:
Stamps: Ghoolish Goolies Designer Kit BUNDLE in Clear OR Wood
Ink:  Stazon black
Paper: Glimmer Paper in Champagne color
Accessories:  Extra Kits if you need more than 10, 1/16 circle punch, 2 3/8 scalloped circle punch,
Extra Sticky backed eyeballs (50) , RIBBON Basic Grey striped satin ribbon 1/2"

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'll see you on Monday with some more fun things to share.

8/17 Stampin' Up More Toxic Treats and Scaringbone, Stamping 411

Good Evening Friends!

I have been loving the Toxic Treats stamp set this week.  It's funny, because I dont usually "DO" Halloween. Even when I have done halloween in the past, I always stuck to pumpkins and happy things.

I'm not feeling any different, but I do LOVE this spooky stamp set and paired up with glimmer paper and the new Scaringbone and Houndsooth DSP from Stampin' Up!  It's floating my boat {so to speak}.

When I saw the sketch by operator Gretchen Barron this week, I thought instantly, that the two tipped panels looked like a spooky graveyard.  Plus, it gave me the chance to play with some of the other images in this set.  :)  Both of these images match perfectly with the Decorative label punch.

I have to say the photo isn't doing this one justice.  It's super sparkly and fun in person.  I used the same technique with the paintbrush from yesterday to color behind my coffin on the right.  Then I {fussy cut} the image by hand and added another pop of white behind with the punch.  I used the new gold pen from the mini to add some outline to both coffins and colored the inside of my words on the left panel with the same pen.  Can I just say, these new silver and gold pens ROCK!  The old ones were the type that you had to push down to get them started, then you could end up with a puddle of ink on your project.  These are like markers.  they have  felt tip and will be fabulous for all my projects for the upcoming holiday season.

I cut an inside for this as well and wrote with my gold pen on the dark paper to my friend (whom I already mailed this card to). I like to make two inserts for a card.  One that will fall out that I write on, so that when my friend gets the card, she can reuse it!  I include an envelope, and address some computer paper to show through the back.  Then, I mail it in the clear envelope with the stamp on the OUTSIDE of the package.  That way the post office can cancel the stamp.  It costs about 20 cents extra postage to send it that way, but how FUN to get a card that you can reuse, that you can see through the envelope!?!

I will also say, although I did use a LOT of glimmer paper for one whole layer on the card front, I punched out some shapes out of the glimmer paper, so I wouldn't waste one inch of it!  I LOVE that paper!! So how about some measurements?

Base 11 x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 5 1/2"
Layer 2: Glimmer paper 5 1/4" x 4"
Layer 3: Black card stock, 5 x 3 3/4", embossed with the Argyle Embossing Folder
Layer 4: 1/4" strip of the glimmer paper 5" long
Layer 5: scaringbone DSP, 1' x 5"
Layer 6: Two punched out shapes using the decorative label punch.
Layer 7: 1/2 Striped Satin Ribbon (cant you see the witches stockings)  I love this stuff!! :)

That's it for tonight.  please check out what my girlfriends are up to, and maybe play along with tonight's sketch challenge from Stamping 411.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Rubbah hugs,
Selene~

8/16 Stampin' Up! Toxic Treats and Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP, Champagne Glimmer Paper

Good Morning Friends!

I made this card on Tuesday and mailed it out to my good friend that placed an order with me over the weekend.

I saw the GORGEOUS sketch over on my friend Mary Jo's Technostamper site. I LOVE THIS SKETCH, and I love this card even more!  :)

I stamped the witch using stazon black ink and stippled the ink over her with a paint brush.

So first, why stazon?  Well, when you're stamping something and you want to color on top of it, stazon doesn't move!  :)

Next, I took a flat paint brush, and tap, tap, tapped my ink right on top in both more mustard and tangerine tango. I used a nice flat large brush that had a firm tap to it.  Stipple brushes come round, but for this I like the flat head to make it less spotty.  Just squeeze the ink pad before you open it and you'll have a nice pool of ink to pick up in the cover. 

Once it was colored to my liking, I cut her out with the Labels Collection Framelits.  At this point I decided that I didn't want the colorful border and I wanted the card stock to pop.  So I hand cut her out of that using the black line around the image as a guide, and cut another piece out of black cardstock to mount that piece on.  At this point, I was feeling bummed she wasn't shiny, I dont know why... and I was clear out of window sheets.

Here come's the BEST PART.  So, I took a clear envelope and cut that with my framelit and laid it on top of the image.  I attached it on top with a glue dot, then put a clear rhinestone over the dot so you couldn't see it.  {singing} Happy Dance!! :)  So then, I wanted to add a little contrast and cut a very vanilla piece with the next size up in the Labels Collection Framlits.  I love how you can get multiple sizes of the same shape in one pack!

Next, I cut a 1x5" strip of the Houndsooth & Scaringbone DSP, and used a square punch to put the upside down "V" in my designer paper.  The Glimmer Paper is cut to 3 x 1 1/2" for both pieces.

The black layer below that (i'm not sure if you can see it) but I embossed it with the Houndstooth Embossing folder.  Such a "wicked cool caaahhd" and it went to one of my wicked cool friends!  There's my New England accent for you!  Wicked!! :)

See you tomorrow for the Stamping 411 sketch challenge!  :)

8/6 Mojo Funtastic, Stampin' Up! Tricky Treats!

Good Afternoon Friends!

A quick share today!  I saw the mojo monday sketch challenge this morning and knew I wanted to make a card.

I've been taking pictures with my iphone and I have to say, I don't think the picture does this one justice.  It's SO sparkly and rich, but bright and cheery at the same time. :)

I have to run, it's just me and my little one for the next few weeks and as you might guess I'm the sole source of entertainment.  (Poor child).

I inked up the stamp from the Tricky Treats with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad, then removed some of the inked up image with a blender pen.  Then, I added black ink with a marker to make the image multicolored.  I punched that focal point out with my large oval punch, then cut it tighter to really fit the image.  I punched a black oval again and mounted it to the stamped vanilla card stock.  I added more glitz.  I used the blossom punch to punch out some of the NEW GORGEOUS, glimmer paper in the Holiday Catalog.  Oh my, this stuff sparkles in person. It seriously makes me SO happy!  :)

Following the sketch, I doubled up on the ribbon.  It's so fun.  The big tulle ribbon is also in the mini and it's the BEST STUFF.  It's like bows for dummies.  You basically tie your shoes and fluff and it looks AWESOME!  :)  Can you tell I'm getting in the groove for Halloween this year?  I usually don't go to crazy with the halloween stuff, but I think I'm officially in a stage.  I'm diggin it! 

Stamps: Tricky Treats
Ink: Pumpkin ink pad and black marker. Blender pen (to remove the pumpkin color)
Paper: Very vanilla, Howlstooth and Scaringbone DSP, Basic Black, Champagne Glimmer Paper
Accessories: 3 1/2" Tulle Ribbon in Crumb Cake,

Such a funtastic card for mojo today!

Have a great day!

Greeting Card Kids ~ Finally Playing!

Good Evening Friends!

I just dig this stamp set and I'm so happy that I made some time to be in the studio today!

I'm getting ready for my Quarterly $2 Card Buffet class. People in attendance can come and make 1 card or 100 cards for $2 each to stuff their stamping pantries. This session is all holiday cards and I'll cover the big holiday's coming up.

Like I said, it was a JOY to be in the studio and stamp for me a little... Oh I have so much to tell you about this one..

I'm going to start with the top layer... I stamped the halloween image from greeting card kids onto whisper white card stock, then water colored it with markers and an aqua painter. I punched tit out with the 2 1/2" circle punch.... okay... So are you ready for how I matted it.. It's not perfect, but it adds the splash of color I wanted. I took FOUR scalloped oval punches in Pumpkin and just stuck them to the back, lining them up (and shlopping them together) as I went. I also added some smootch accent ink to the girls dress and the broom, adding a bling across the broom.. (a broom fit for a princess, don't cha think?)

The base layer was cut from black cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: (inside and out) is wisteria wonder 5 x 3 3/4"
Layer 3: 4 7/8" x 5 5/8" in concord crush. I pre embossed the spider design then used a black inkpad to directly apply ink to the surface of the paper. (thus the direct to paper technique)
I added some wisteria wonder ribbon, and the sentiment is stamped on pumpkin and punched, then cut short and tucked under the ribbon.

It was a pure labor of love. I adore this stamp set and I miss just playing. If you're local to me and would like to pop into the buffet, just BYOA (bring your own adhesive) and there will be a multitude of cards designed and prepped for your enjoyment. make one of each, or clean out a whole box of one design, it's all up to you!

Thanks for stopping by today. Thanks to those who take the time to read my posts and leave me comments!

Rubbah hugs,

Happy Halloween! ~ Nothin' but Treats here!

I meant to get these project shares up sooner today ~ and it just didn't happen.. :D We were busy carving pumpkins, trick or treating and giving out candy.I hope you had a wonderful Halloween with your families. Here are some projects I made for my daughter's class (and her teachers). I volunteered on Friday at school and brought them in then.. It was so cool to see all the children dressed up. I punched a 2 1/2" circle from daffodil paper, and used the direct to paper technique to apply pumpkin pie ink to the outside. (so I put the inkpad directly on the paper). I made the below cards for the teachers and stuffed them with a grown up treat. :D

The eyes on the bats are just a dot using stampin' up's uniball gel pen.

Have a great night!

Rubbah hugs.
