What to do when you ….

/ 8 Comments

… loose your creativity??  Well, I sit down to copy a card.  Have you seen this beauty from Sharon over at no time to stamp?  Beautiful.  So I re-created it using Stampin’ Up products.

This 1st card is the almost exact case.  


This card was me moving things around a little since I stamped the bird down to low to have the sentiment in the same place as Sharon’s card.
card measures 5.25 square.  Let me know if you like it.

Recipe:

Stamps: Always, Priceless, Best Yet (Hostess)

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Black, very vanilla

Ink: Black

Accessories:  new striped ribbon from the holiday mini, hodgepodge hardware, slot punch

Another Convention WOW swap

/ 5 Comments

I am on my way to convention and I have a few treats pre-loaded in my blog to share.  The next few posts will be projects I am swapping or giving to team members.  

This is a card I made for Amy Celona’s Wow card swap at convention.   I changed up the swap card just a little from the one seen here in the photo.  On this card I used the fiskars threading water punch.  For the swap cards I used the new Stampin’ Up! Scallop edge punch.  And instead of punching the holes I used the white gel pen and doodled circles.


The clouds were made with a punch out from the scallop punch and some bashful blue ink and a sponge.  Sponge over the edge and keep moving the template around the page.


Recipe:

Stamps: Always

Paper: Whisper white, Chocolate Chip, bashful blue

Ink: Chocolate Chip, bashful blue, Old Olive

Accessories: Wide Chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon, slot punch, Fiskars scallop edge punch, scallop punch out for clouds and a sponge corner rounder
