Festive Flower Builder Punch Card

Posted on September 16, 2015November 5, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

Thanks for stopping by today! I thought I would show you one of the cards we made in last night's Christmas Card Class. Thank you to everyone who came out to the first Christmas Card Class of the season!

Festive Flower Builder Punch

Before embossing the Whisper White Thick card base, use the circle punch to cut a small slit in the top right corner of the card to feed the ribbon through, then run the card through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Love that new embossing folder!

Stamp the sentiment from Reason for the Season on Crushed Curry and punch each end with the Banner Triple punch- use the punch upside down to ensure you do not cut the stamped words.

To build the poinsettia: punch Real Red with the whole Festive Flower punch 4 times, then twice again on each side of the punch to cut the larger flower petals only; Punch 2 times from Always Artichoke with the larger petal side of the punch

Once all the punching is done, stamp the petals and leaves with the Reason For the Season stamps, with the same coloured ink and assemble the flower starting with the smaller petals, alternating them to fill in the flower.

Feed the ribbon through the slit and tie around the card front before adhering the poinsettia.

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Halloween

Posted on September 14, 2015September 14, 2015 by Josee

Good Morning!

Welcome to this month's 'Halloween' Blog Hop! For this month's project, I wanted to create a cute and special treat bag for some special Trick or Treaters 🙂

Halloween Treat Bag: Sparkling Seasons, Happy Scenes, Stamp a Bag, Black Glimmer Paper

This project started out with a simple kraft paper bag from the Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bags. I stamped it with the zig zag stamp from the Stamp A Bag stamp set in NEW Archival Black Ink. I stamped a strip of Old Olive cardstock with the same stamp to wrap around the bag.

Sparkling Seasons, Happy Scenes, Stamp a Bag, Black Glimmer Paper Then, to make the tag, I started with the NEW Black Glimmer Paper and cut out the tag with the Lots of Labels Framelits. Then, I cut three ovals from Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the smallest oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits. I stamped the pumpkin face from the NEW Sparkling Seasons stamp set onto the middle oval (and a bit of the mouth onto the oval beside it), inked the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink and then adhered the ovals together to make a pumpkin shape. Then ran them through the Big Shot in the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

To create the pumpkin stem and leaves, I used the Leaflets Framelits but actually cut the leaf twice to create a smaller leaf (see photo below). Then ran it through the Big Shot in the Woodgrain Textured Impression Embossing Folder. The stem was just a strip of Old Olive wrapped around a Stampin' Write marker to create a swirly stem.

The sentiment from the NEW Happy Scenes Stamp set was stamped on Whisper White and then cut out using the rounded leaf framelit from the Leaflets Framelits (shown in the photo below).

The pumpkin pieces were adhered together using Glue Dots and Tear and Tape adhesive. I then used the Handheld Stapler to staple the Black Glimmer Tag to the Old Olive strip and then wrapped the strip around the bag.

Here is a list of the supplies I used to create this project:

Peaceful Pines

Posted on September 11, 2015November 5, 2015 by Josee

Hello! Happy Friday!

Today's card uses the NEW Peaceful Pines stamp set and the NEW matching Perfect Pines Framelits Dies.

Peaceful Pines

The Real Red card base was embossed with the Brick Wall Textured Embossing Folder. Then on top of that I cut some strips of the NEW Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper and punched the ends with the Banner Triple Punch and layered them on top. Then, using the Perfect Pines Framelits, I cut two different sized trees- one from a Gold Foil sheet and one from Whisper White that was stamped with one of the trees from Peaceful Pines. I layered the two trees together and then wrapped some Gold Cording Trim to decorate the tree and finished it off with some Home For Christmas Enamel Dots and adhered it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here are the supplies used on this card:

Stained Glass Reason for the Season & Embellished Ornaments

Posted on September 10, 2015November 5, 2015 by Josee

Hello!

I've got another great card to show you today! This card uses the holly from Embellished Ornaments and the poinsettia from Reason for the Season. Both NEW from the 2015 Holiday Catalogue!

Reason for the Season

The base of this card uses Pear Pizzazz. Then I cut a square of the NEW Red Foil paper (so gorgeous!) and on top of that layered a square of Whisper White. I stamped the holly in Pear Pizzazz and then tied some Gold Cording Trim around that and adhered it to the card front.

Then, I took a sheet from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack– the one I though looks like gold lines from a stained glass window and decided to make it look like stained glass! I stamped the poinsettia on the back of the vellum sheet in Black archival ink and then coloured in the lines with Stampin' Write markers in Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and a little Crushed Curry and I allowed it to dry with the Heat Tool so it would not smear. Then I layered it on a piece of Gold Foil paper adhering it with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. Once the glue was dry, I cut around the stamped lines of the poinsettia and adhered it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped using Whisper White ink.

Here are the supplies used to create this card:
