Handmade Christmas Cards with Toile Christmas!

August 30, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

This Red Cardinal from Toile Christmas makes beautiful Christmas cards. Of course, Sympathy Cards and any occasion cards for bird lovers also fit.

Here are three fun ways to add color to the cardinal. First, just stamp in Black Memento Ink on Real Red card stock – and the color is already there!!! How easy is that?

For the above card, the largest Stitched Oval was used with a piece of Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper behind to represent sky. The leaf branch is one of the dies in the Christmas Cardinal Dies. Purchase this as a Bundle with the Toile Christmas stamp set and same 10%!

The second card is one of my favorite ways to color – it is so easy and impressive at the same time. Just stamp the cardinal in Cherry Cobbler Ink and use a Blender Pen to move some of the color around. No other ink needed!

And the last card uses the Stampin’ Blends. The fence was made from the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. Cutting some notches to the top of the fence and adding Snowball Accents Puff Paint for the snow completed the card.

To watch these three cards being made, go to 17:30 in the video.

Easy Apple Builder Punch Cards & Gifts!

August 24, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

The Apple Builder Punch and the coordinating Harvest Hellos stamp set make cute cards and projects for teachers (by your kids) – or for your kids!!!

Let’s start with a quick & easy card – just using punches. Your kids will love making these!

The tablecloth is from the 6 x 6 Brights Designer Series Paper.

The only difference in this next card is that each piece was stamped before punching out. Which do you prefer?

A cute little note to put in your child’s lunchbox …. or for your child to make as a thank you for a teacher! Fold the Designer Series Paper and punch out the apple with just a bit of the fold intact. Add a little circle inside for the note.

If you give any apple gifts – like jams, apple butter, pies ….. this would be a cute little tag to put on the bag.

Punch out a few more apples, fold them in half and glue together to make this sweet little stand up apple!

Punch one of the apples out of white cardstock and that will give you a place to write a message!

What kid w0uldn’t love to give this to a teacher?

The same method is used here – but attached to the inside of the card to make a fun surprise when the card is opened!

Tim created this worm in the apple card using the Wiggle Worm Bundle.

The inside was printed out on the computer – a great way to create your own sentiments if you don’t want to hand write them!

And, of course, the video if you want to see all of these projects being made!

One Stamp Set Six Ways – Let It Snow!

August 14, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

Do you like making snowman cards? This is the suite for you – the Let It Snow Suite – with adorable snowmen, a Snowman Builder punch – and the cutest Let It Snow Designer Series Paper! Here are six quick & easy card ideas to inspire you!

#1.Two squares, cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and set at rightangles, make the focal point for this card. Isn’t this a great saying “Hoping this season builds heartwarming memories”?

2. Look at those fun felt accessories! They are part of the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. I had to add the “have a cozy Christmas from the Merry Moose stamp set because that snowman definitely looks cozy!

3. Circles of different sizes, all from the Stitched Framelits Dies, made this quick card.

4. Isn’t this the cutest “wrapped up” snowman – from the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper? He inspired me to use the words “may this special season be wrapped in love & joy”from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.

5. This snowman was punched out of the Let It Snow DSP with the Snowman Builder Punch. He is already glittered – so the Sparkle Glimmer Paper is perfect for the snow!

6. Tim’s version using the Snowman Builder Punch – and the shiny enamel shapes from the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit. He has been experience vision problems – so I think he transferred his experience to this guy!

To see all of these being made – go to 12:45 in this video.

Pigment Sprinkles Stamping Techniques for Card Making

August 7, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

A messy but fun way to add vibrant color to your handmade cards is to use Pigment Sprinkles!

These three variations with the Silhouette Scenes stamp set are all done in the same way.

The difference is the amount of Pigment Sprinkles and the amount of water sprayed from the Stampin’ Up! Spritzer.

This card using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Seasonal Layers Framelits features an aged brick wall. To make the wall, the Watercolor Paper was first “painted” with the Pigment Sprinkles and the Spritzer. After that dried, it was put through the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.

Watch these cards being made by going to 9:00.
