Gift Card Holder

This is from another challenge on SCS. On Monday, the technique challenge was to create a gift card holder.  I thought this was a great idea.  I will be making this with my club girls on Tuesday night.  They may have different colours!

  I really love this colour combination, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip.  I used DSP from the Ski Slope paper pack.  This is one of my favourite patterns!  The holder is tied shut with Chocolate Chip ribbon.

  Here is what it looks like when it is open.  You see the other side of the DSP. 

All Supplies SU:

Stamps: Holiday Trinckets, Many Merry Message, and snowflake from Season of Friendship

Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Ski Slope DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze

Accessories: Chocolate Chip ribbon

Tomorrow is an exciting day for Stampin! Up demonstrators.  We get to have a pre-view of some of the new stamp sets and accessories that will be in the new Spring Summer Catalogue that will com out on January 19th.  I am so excited to see what Stampin! Up has in store for us!

Book Box and a Matching Card

Each day of the week SCS has different challenges.  Tuesday's is Colour Challenge.  The poster gives you a set of colours, and off you go to create something using the colour combination.   Last weeks colours were Kraft, Real Red and Basic Black. This is a book box, and a matching card, very similar to the DVD box I made earlier.

For the box, I used Kraft as the base and layered it with Real Red (cardsotck and DSP) and Black.  The bow is made using Real Red DSP, and I reduced the measurements of the standard bow to make mine smaller.

 

 

 

 

For the card, I use the same colours as the box.  I actually made the cards first.  To create a "shadowed" effect with the stamped image, I first stamped the image with Basic Grey, stamping off some of the ink before I stamped onto the card piece.  I then followed with stamping the image in Basic Black.  The image in from Pocket Silhouettes.

 

This picture is showing the box and the card together.  I would not normally mix these colours, but this gift is for a man, so it fits.  I am happy with the overall look.  What do you think?

 

 

 

Almost all Supplies SU:

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes

Paper: Kraft, Real Red, Basic Black, Real Red DSP from Ski Slope and Hostess Prints Pack

Have a great Saturday, I hope mine will be filled with stamping!

Downline Dinner Card

Tonight I am going to Heather's house for our down-line dinner.  It is going to be great.  Heather is cooking a turkey, and the rest of us are bringing the sides.  I am responsible for drinks...just my style.  Earlier in the week, I came home to find a nice card in my mailbox from Heather and along with it came a Real Red card base, Old Olive Card Stock, a scrap of Washington Apple DSP, some Real Red and Old Olive DSP 1 3/4" circles and a piece of Real Red ribbon.  Her challenge to us was to make a card using these supplies and bring it to the dinner.  I was up to the challenge.  We were allowed to add embellishments and use a piece of neutral card stock (I chose Very Vanilla to match the DSP).  Sorry about the lighting in the picture, it was later in the day and I did not have much sunlight.

  For the card, I took the Old Olive card stock and DSP and cut them to size.  I used my scallop edge punch to add detail to the bottom.  On Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the holly leaf and greeting in Old Olive.  I used my 1 1/4" circle and small oval to punch them out.  I layered the holly and the greeting on the Old Olive DSP pieces by using my 1 3/8" circle, scallop circle and large oval punches.  After assembling my card, I added some detail to the bottom by paper piercing and using Vintage Brads to make the greeting look more like a tag.  The final touch was by adding BLING to the holly with Tombow glue and Chunky Essentials Glitter.

Next time send more of a challenge Heather!  This was fun!

All Supplies SU:

Stamps: Many Merry Messages, Christmas Classics

Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Washington Apple and Ski Slope DSP

Simple Christmas Card

  Well, today I decided sense there is snow on the ground, and I am busy prepping my kids at school for their up-coming Christmas Concert, that I should post some a card more appropriate for the season.

I used two things for my inspiration on this card.  First, when my sister Marika was over last Friday night, we were looking at the Ski Slope DSP.  She told me that she was not sure how she would use the Olive star pattern of paper.  I showed her one way to use it by paring it with Real Red (on the box that I posted on Sunday). For this card, I used Chocolate Chip instead.  Second, Splitcoaststampers has a challenge each day of the week. Wednesday is card sketches.  I used the sketch posted in one of the challenges.

All Supplies SU:

Stamp: Classic Christmas

Paper: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Ski Slope DSP

Ink: Well I used my markers and coloured on the stamp, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun

Accessories: Stickles to make the star shimmer

 

Kristina Werner Colour Challange

  Each week Kristina Werner posts a colour challenge.  This week, when I was looking at the colours, I was inspired to make a card.  To me, the colours scream Christmas!  So that is just what I created, a Christmas card!  I had to substitute Kraft for the Sahara Sand.

 

     

I started by grabbing my Deer Friends stamp set. This little Santa is so cute, and perfect for this challenge.  I stamped him on Whisper White using Riding Hood Red ink.  I then took Liquid Applique and applied it to his beard and hat.  With a little heat from my heat gun, it puff's up to create a fluffy beard and hat.  Next I layered the image on Riding Hood Red, and finished it with a Very Vanilla Scallop Circle.

 Here is  picture of the finished card.  This layout is inspired by my friend and up-line Heather Summers.  We did this layout on four different cards at my first club night at her house.  I love the simplicity of the layout and I have used it on many different cards. 

The base of the card is Kraft and it is layered with Very Vanilla and Riding Hood Red DSP (from the Designer Prints Pack).  I tied a cute little bow with my Riding Hood Red ribbon to complete the look.  This card took me about 10, well maybe 15 minutes to complete.  I hope you like it!

Winter and Autumn Friendship Card

 Season of Friendship is my favourite stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalogue.  I love the simplicity of the tree, and how versatile it can be.  I pared the tree yesterday with the new Love You Much stamp set, and used two different colour combinations for two very different looks.

    Winter Friendship Card

For this card, I knew I wanted to use the DSP from Ski Slope.  I choose to stick with Baja Breeze as my main colour, and pared it with Chocolate Chip...YUMMY!  I stamped the tree and the greeting using Chocolate Chip ink, and used Baja Breeze ink for the snowflakes.  The final pop was inspired by my sister-in-law Liz, who loves birds, I stamped the little bird with Real Red. 

   Autumn Friendship Card

This card uses the exact same dimensions as the Winter card.  I only changed the colours, and I used the leaf stamp instead of the snowflake.  I stamped the little bird in Ruby Red (not a colour in the DSP), to have him stand out the way he does on the winter card.

Check back tomorrow to see some more cards made with the Love You Much stamp set and Candy Lane DSP...I love it.  In fact I am a little worried that I will run out of the DSP before we can order it.
