Stamp Camp Card #4

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I will be sharing with you the last project we made at my November Stamp Camp......But first let me remind you of what we made at camp this month.

Our November Stamp Camp had a Christmas/Holiday theme and we created three cards and one 3-D project.  Here is that 3-D project......

We created this darling little Santa Gift Bags.....that could be stuffed with food treats or a small holiday gift for that someone special.  My Stamp Camp girls filled their gift bags with a fun little Christmas cookie.

 We used the "Tag a Bag Gift Bags" (P158) and went wild creating a fun little Santa Bag.

 We used the "Winter Frost Specialty DSP" for our bow......

And the SUPER FUN "Santa's List" stamp set for our darling Santa image. 

We created a fun flag banner with the "Hope you're nice" stamp that comes with the "Santa's List" stamp set.  And we added a small Island Indigo circle that had Crystal Effects added over it to add a little bit of shine to our flag banner.

Here's what our gift bow looks like with the other side of the "Winter Frost DSP". 

We punched our Santa out with the 1-3/4" circle punch......Then mounted him to the Scallop Circle Punch and then centered our Santa image right over the center of a White Tea Lace Paper Doilies.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the projects my Fabulously Unique (FU) gals made for November.......Hope you can make plans to come back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!  

Stamp Camp Card #3

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

It is raining and cold here in Arizona this weekend ........ and with NOTHING on my calendar for the entire weekend......I'm going to be playing in my studio all day today and tomorrow.



Jumping right in with my card share for today......It's the third card we made at my November Stamp Camp.  Here's a reminder of all four card/projects we created.

This special little holiday card was a HUGE HIT with the Camp Ladies this month.

We used the "Wonderful Wreath" stamp to create our focal image.......

And added a Real Red "Merry" that was created using the Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog (P36).  We even added some little 1/8" circle punches around the wreath and added a dab of Crystal Effects to pretty up the Real Red cardstock to look like BERRIES!

We grabbed the Simply Score Board and added three embossed score lines across the bottom of card.  We scored them at 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4".  That was the added touch that set this card over the edge for my Camp Ladies!

Going to making several of these cards for my out-of-state friends........A beautiful card that comes together in a FLASH!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the last project we made at my November Stamp Camp........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Stamp Camp Card #2

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have the second card we made at my November Stamp Camp to share with you.



 First let me re-cap all four cards we made!

 This card had a Festive Flurry Framelits Die TWIST to it.......

I gave the ladies the option to cut their Festive Flurry snowflake out using their paper snips.....and they could either cut the snowflake out to snip the star portion of the smallest snowflake.....or....

Go ahead and snip the snowflake as stamped.

The main difference using the paper snips was that all the Whisper White cardstock was trimmed off the snowflake.....and they snipped right on the Cherry Cobbler line.

And for a completely different look......They snipped their snowflake to a star shape. 

I also gave the ladies the option to pick whichever sentiment they wanted.  This sentiment came from the "Warmth and Wonder" set......

 And this sentiment was also from the Hostess set "Warmth and Wonder".  Both were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.  

And the final touch we added to our card.........We added a GORGEOUS BOW that was made from the new Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the third card we made at my November Stamp Camp.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!  

Stamp Camp Card #1

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Before I get started with today's card share.......I have to say a final good-bye to my Stella Bug.....

Our daughter-in-law came over yesterday to drive Ms. Stella back to California.  Stella will be living the good-life with Adam and Laura in SUNNY CALIFORNIA!  (That's Bella Bug in the background saying good-bye to Stella.)

 

Today I will be sharing with you the first card from my November Stamp Camp with you.  We completed four Holiday/Christmas projects this month.  Here's a quick look at all four projects we made at camp this month......



Here's a quick look at all four projects we made at camp this month.

 My first card share is this traditional Red and Green ornament card.

The ladies got to select which sentiment they wanted to use. 

Both options were from the "Christmas Messages stamp set.  Here is "deck the halls"...

And "Joyful Tidings" was the second option the ladies had to pick from.

 The base card is Whisper White and there is a Real Red and Whisper White layered piece.

 The ladies created ornaments with the Mosaic Madness stamp set.

They made two white embossed Old Olive ornaments and one Real Red ornament.  Then to get them punched out perfectly.....we used the Mosaic Punch to punch out all three ornaments.

To create some fun to this card......We used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to add a stitched line for all three ornaments to hang from.  We used a dimensional adhesive on the back of each ornament to lift it up and create a fun dimension to this card.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you the second card we made at my November Stamp Camp........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Tape It Card

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

It's been a couple days since I shared any pictures of my ADORABLE grandkids in Wisconsin.....So let me share this little cutie with you.....

That is Jared (14) in the background.....Hailey (11)....Brooke (10) and Steven (8).  I have to tell you.........It is PURE FUN when I get to be around these kids.......I will miss seeing them this winter!

My card today is this SASSY little washi tape card. 

I used the stamp set "Tape It" and stamped three images right onto the Whisper White panel....and stamped three other images onto scrap pieces of Whisper White and then cut each of those out and used dimensional adhesive to add each of them to my card.

 A fun little sentiment was added to my Whisper White panel and this card was DONE!

LOVE how fast this card comes together......and especially LOVE how HAPPY this card looks!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to begin sharing with you my November Stamp Camp card........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

 

Organizational Tip - Sketches for Cardmaking

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

 Today my organizational tip is for cardmaking.



Here is a fun little sketch book that I can tuck inside my purse or leave on my studio desk.  Any time I come across a cardmaking idea that I want to CASE or CREATE..........I just sketch it down inside this book.

I used my scraps to create the cover......

And then printed out the pages for the inside. 

You can locate these pages on Kristina Werner's blog.

This little sketch book comes in handy for when I'm needing to jot an idea down quickly...and it also is perfect for me to grab when I'm feeling like all my creative ideas have been exhausted.  All I need to do is begin flipping through this sketch book and almost immediately I find a great idea for a card.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a fun "tape it" card with you....Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Organizational Tip -SketchBook

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a fun little organizational share that I use when I'm scrapbooking.  I have created a sketchbook that keeps all kinds of sketches I've found on-line of layouts that can assist me when I'm feeling like I'm out of ideas.



I took a store bought journal book and just began filling the pages with layouts from the internet.

The journal book can be a hand-bound book or something as simple as a three ring album that you add ribbons and a title page to.

There are tons of on-line site where you can find sketches......

And all I did was print them out and began filling my journal books with these layouts.

Each of these pages gives me a starting point for when I'm feeling like I have creative ideas left in my head.

This is a great way to jump-start your creative juices......

And brings my scrapbooking together in a snap!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a creative idea for all my cardmaking friends......Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
