CHRISTMAS STAMP-A-STACK SAMPLES - #1

Image
Hello, Stampers!      It's been a while!  I've been busy furniture painting and preparing for last Saturday's Christmas Stamp-a-Stack.  This is the first of the five cards we made (4 each).*  It is really quite simple and I think you can duplicate it just by looking at the supplies we used below.  The main ingredients are the Merry Moose Bundle** and it is based on the template for the sample on page 4 of the Holiday Catalog!  More info HERE .

FREE AS A BIRD EASY TRANSITION

Hi, Stampers!      I've neglected my blog and stamping lately for furniture painting, but now I'm between layers and can post.      We created the above card at July Stamp Camp (see my post dated July 17).  I thought it might look cute for Christmas with some Chickadees and plaid, so here it is.  I kind of wish the branch didn't have flowers on it and tried to disguise them as berries with Shimmery Crystal Effects and embellishments - not necessarily successfully, but I still like it.

IT'S STILL FALL AND I DO LOVE FALL COLORS! + STAMPIN' TRIMMER

Image
Hi, Stampers!      It's about time, you say?  I just realized my last post was almost 10 days ago!  Time flies when you're having fun (or re-painting furniture) and losing a day to computer issues.  BUT, I digress.      First, the new Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer ( Paper Trimmer, item 152392,  $25.00 US) will be available November 1st!  Click the image below to go to my October 6 post for more details.  (Multi-packs of cutting blades will be available in January.)     Now, about this beautiful fall card.  If you own the lovely new Gathered Leaves Dies, yay!  I don't.  Do you have the Colorful Seasons set and Seasonal Layers dies? Then you're all set to create some great projects similar to those showcased with the Come Together suite!  Details here . Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

MORE FROM OCTOBER STAMP CAMP - MOSAIC DAISIES

Hello, again, Stampin' Friends -      This is another creation from my October stamp camp. This is my variation of the card posted by Cheri Stojkovich on FB, Cheri's Cards.  Of course, it is impossible to recreate this beauty without the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP (#149478, p.167).  Details here.

MARKERS TECHNIQUE TO CREATE FALL WITH WINTER WOODS - October Stamp Camp

Image
Happy Fall, Stampers!    I've seen a couple of versions of a color-layering technique with this set and the Stamparatus, one or two with Sponge Daubers and Patty Bennett has a video tutorial (using mostly greens) with Stampin' Write Markers.  You can find it here .     Basically, you just use any colors you want - we used colors for Fall - place your stamp where you want it on your card front, pick it up with your Stamparatus and off you go!  Your Simply Shammy or baby wipes will come in handy, too.        NOTE:  Color the tree trunks last, just in case your paper inadvertently moves a little.
