Wonderland 2

The Stampin'Up Wonderland stamp set was still out so I thought I would create something a bit different to yesterdays.


The Gently Falling Snow embossing folder is lovely and used here to frame the image really does give a winter feeling.

As yesterday I have heat embossed the trees, then reused the gold theme with the layering, the sentiment and the ribbon.

The ribbon is in the seasonal catalogue, it also comes in silver.

A quick post today and unusually for me a quick single layer card. The Stampin' Up Wonderland Stamp set is on my desk.
Daubing, stamping and heat embossing all brought together to create a very simple traditional card.

The new thick whisper white card is ideal for this type of card.

 I have daubed the edge of the panel then stamped and stamped off with black then stamped with versa mark and heat embossed in gold. The sentiment is also heat embossed in gold. A quick easy make that is also stylish. Great if you have a big batch to make.

The penguins and the bauble.....

I knew it had to happen..... I have created my first bauble of the year and it involves a penguin, a Stampin' Up penguin from the Snow Place stamp set. I did want to put quite a few in there but either they are too big or my bauble is too small!
Again there is a little daubing to create the background then I have used the Stampin' Up Wonderland set of trees from the new seasonal catalogue. With the Fine Tip Glue Pen I have just lightly put adhesive down the trunks and along the branches then sprinkled with dazzling diamonds glitter, its very fine so just gives a little sparkle.
The penguin has been added with double stacked dimensionals and I have curled him so that he has a rounded tummy. No skinny penguins here!
I have punched the sky with the star confetti punch and placed glimmer paper behind it.

 Hi is a very cute penguin.













In the other side I have used the snowman, well actually the small snowman, the taller one was a little too big.
For the background I have punched a 2 1/2" circle then embossed it with the brick wall embossing folder. In between the bricks I have used the fine tip glue and glitter again.
The stars on this side are stuck on again with the fine tip glue!

Penguins galore

I find that stamping and cutting-out is very therapeutic. I often do the stamping during the day then sit and cut-out whilst watching TV.
The stamp set Snow Place is  photopolymer, in the Seasonal catalogue. There are 22 stamps in the set  which comes in a bundle with a set of 15 dies. Now much as I like having the dies I just couldn't afford them but thought the stamp set would be great for a children's class at half term as there are penguins and snowmen.
Today I have just used the penguins, this is not what I set out to make I was intending to create a Christmas bauble, that will have to be next weeks project, but I had found these hanging signs in a sale and thought I could create a scene with the penguins.

 I have daubed the background scene with the festival of trees stamp set in the main catalogue, the larger trees at each side in artichoke green are stamped with the Lovely as a Tree set, this is a new set to me although I know its been in the catalogues longer than any other set. It is a beautiful set and I have plans for a set of cards with this.
The music notes are from the Jingle all the way set as is the sentiment.
To finish off I have added sequins and a wooden snowflake.
I must just add, sticking the sequins on and the various parts of the penguins is so much easier with the new Fine Tip Glue. It is a must buy for any crafter, check out my online  shop

Woodland Textured Embossing Folder (2)

I know it isn't next week but whilst the folder was out something came to me. This is a card in the more traditional way. Mans best friend added makes the card a bit of fun. I have added dazzling diamonds to white spots to give the impression of the start of a snow shower. The daubing of Mossy Meadow and Whisper White along the lower edge just grounds the base of the trees. 

Now I have finished this I think I prefer it to yesterdays card

Woodland Textured Impression Folder

A bit of a change today, not really Christmas but it could be. My friend Amanda at The Craft Spa has used this folder to make some stunning Christmas cards. However this morning I was asked if I did quirky......... I think I do sometimes so in my head for this next week I am going to do quirky. It would be lovely to know what you think.
Here we have my first quirky card, made with the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder.

I started by inking the folder with Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron then embossing. The fox is  stamped in the Tip Top Taupe after embossing. The trees inked with Cajun Craze are fussy cut then attached with glue dots. This is an unusual make for me and I am trying it in a variety of colours. I will bring you more next week.

Wonderland

These are the makes from our monthly training. I had this set of stamps but hadn't opened it. These cards are very simple to make and don't use a lot of resources but look effective.

 The card is stamped with mossy meadow and stamped a second time without re inking. The stars are stamped with the Stampin' Up white ink then touched with the Fine Tip Glue Pen and sprinkled with Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

The sentiment piece is the star of the show. The one inch wide strip has been punched with the new 3 corner punch on page 18 of the seasonal catalogue. I have punched each corner and because of the width the petals have over lapped to give this effect. I have then added a White Perfect Accent.

On the second card I have added one of the wooden snowflakes. with a White Perfect Accent to the centre. These wooden snowflakes look great when covered with versamark then heat embossed with gold/silver or white embossing powder.

We also made a Pillow Box to match, stamping the window cut out to use as a label. The die is on page 41 of the seasonal catalogue. Great size for small gifts.
