Birthday Kiddo's

So...you may have seen this card for a second (or six hours) on my blog last Saturday.
Originally the Crazy4Challenges team had a pop up challenge and I work way ahead which is good and bad.  This time it was bad because I had scheduled the post a long time before and then we changed the challenge to Casing Barb and I made the card but never changed my post!!

Oooops!!!  I'll just blame it on old age :)

So here it is again...and this time I won't delete it!  

These stamps are part of the newest Kiddo's from Stampendous.
They are from Kiddo Birthday Perfectly Clear Stamps by Stampendous.
They should be available on the Stampendous Site and your local Stamping Store soon.

I also popped up the sentiment on the inside.

Here's a side view of the inside so you can see it better.

I used a die cut pop up insert from Creative Cuts and more to create the inside.

Cardinal Thanks

I am sure that like me, now that Christmas is over, you need thank you cards.  

I never got around to making a Christmas card with this Cardinal with Holly  that I cut out with a Creative Cutz die from Creative Cuts and More so I thought I would use it for a Christmas Thank you card.

I used a little Pebbles chalk on the bird and popped his wing up with a pop dot.

I used Jellie Dots from the Rubber Cafe for the Holly and his eye.

I hope the person I send this card too loves it as much as I do.

thanks for stopping by!

What a Cracker!

Today I made some cute little cracker Candy Boxes to match this cute image on this card.

Crackers are a fun way to give a little gift.
You can fill them up with candy or money or whatever else you can fit in them.
The Candy Boxes come die cut with the folding lines all pre-scored.
I covered these with patterned paper and then put them together with Killer white Tacky Tape. 

I tied matching ribbon around the ends.

 

This adorable image is from Strawberry Kisses-"What a Cracker" from Crafter's Companion.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Happy Hanukkah Gift Card Box

Today, I have a fun box to share with you that is the perfect size for giving a gift card.

I posted it on the Die Cuts Diva Blog yesterday.

I decorated mine for Hanukkah but you could decorate this box for any occasion!

I started with an Oval Window Box with Acetate Rectangle cut from Wildberry Pie cardstock.

I decorated the box with images that I stamped, colored and cut out.  
The stamps are from the "Celebrating the Festival of Lights" set from The Rubber Cafe.

I added a little shredded paper fill to the box to help hold the gift card in place.

Candy Sleigh

Today the Stampendous Design Team ladies are playing along with the 

Do You Stack Up Blog Challenge. The current challenge is 

 Gold and Silver.

 It's my day to post on the Die Cuts Diva Blog today also so I decided to combine the challenges and create this fun Sleigh!

 I started with a die cut 3D Sleigh from Creative Cuts and More cut out of Bazzill Date Swirl cardstock.  I stamped the entire sleigh with Poinsettia Background using VersaMark ink and then I heat embossed with Detail Silver Embossing Powder.

I covered the "blades" with VersaMark ink and embossed them with silver EP too.

The sleigh was put together with killer white Tacky Tape.

I colored Tree Trim Kiddos with Spectrum Noir Markers and then fussy cut the Kiddos out and adhered them to the sleigh.

And...I added Detail Gold Embossing Powder to the boy's hat and more Detail Silver to the girls hat too!
 

 

  I adhered Shaved Ice fragments to the bottom of the sleight to create "snow".

Then I filled it up with candies.  This would look great on your table or would make a fun gift!

  
We're playing along today with the Do You Stack Up Challenge Blog and their theme of Silver And Gold. 
We sent them some of our Aged Silver and Aged Gold Embossing Enamels to play with, can't wait to see what they do with it!

CHF Box Challenge

It's time for another bi-weekly challenge on the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog!

The new challenge is to make a Christmas bag or box.

Here is the box I made:

I started with a Peek a View Die Cut box from Creative Cuts and More.

I stamped the top and bottom portions with Large Dots Backgrounder from CHF.

Then I punched a strip of red cardstock for the bottom of the box and cut a thin strip of the same cardstock to go around the top portion.

The "sign" stamp is from the Winter Vintage Sign Set from CHF.

I stamped it in red ink and sponged more red ink around the edges.  Then I backed it with a couple of die cut scallop edged panels.

This box would be a great way to display mini candycanes for little visitors to eat or a fun gift for a teacher or friend!

Don't forget to check out the Cornish Heritage Farms Design Team's card on their blogs.

Purr-fect Couple

I have another Square Scallop edge Die Cut Card to share with you today.

I just love these things.  

They come with the scallops all ready cut out so it makes it easy to put together a quick and easy card!

I used a new S.W.A.L.K image from Crafter's Companion for today's card.

I started with a Square Scallop edge Die Cut Card  cut from Kraft Cardstock.  I adhered a strip of patterned paper at the bottom of the card and added some plastic drops to each of the scallops.

 

Then I just added layers of paper and the colored Perr-fect Couple image and the card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by today!

 And adhered Jellie Dots to each of the scallops.

Christmas Tag Card

Today I have a fun Christmas Tag Card to share with you.

I started with a die cut Slash Pocket with Tag from Creative Cuts and More. 

I stamped this image from Mulberry Wood-Wish Upon a Star. on a white panel in black Memento Ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Then I trimmed the panel down to fit the front of the card. 
 

I left the tag blank so I could write on it.

I love this die cut Slash Pocket with Tag from Creative Cuts and More because it allows you to make a unique card that looks like it took a lot of time.  You can find more tag cards HERE.

Stamped Chipboard Coasters

I am very excited to share some fun coasters I made with Chip Board Coasters from Creative Cuts and More, Stampendous Stamps, and Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

Before I got this botter, I had never heard of Fast Finish Decoupage! This amazing decoupage medium drys super quickly (no waiting hours between coats), super shiny, and COMPLETELY FREE OF TACKINESS!! 

Here is the set of four coasters that I made.

To make these I started by sponging Ranger Old Paper Distress ink on each of the  
chip board coasters.

 

I stamped Music Score background two times with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink on tissue paper.

 

I tore the tissue into four pieces and adhered it to the coasters with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage. 

For the first one I stamped Holly Basket on tissue and colored it with Prisma Color Pencils.

Then I adhered it to the coaster with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

When it was dry (which happened very quickly) I stamped the flourish from Jumbo Cling Poinsettia (Available at Michael's) on the edge with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Aged Silver Embossing Enamel.

I used Jumbo Vintage Santa  for this coaster.

I stamped santa on tissue and colored him with Prisma Pencils.  Then I adhered him to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.  I stamped the banner with Memento Cottage Ivy dye ink on tissue and then added it to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry I stamped Scrolled Medallion with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Shabby White Embossing Enamel.  I also used my VersaMarker to add ink to his hat and embossed with the Shabby White EE here too!.

For the third Coaster I used Jumbo Cling Poinsettia (Available at Michael's). I stamped the poinsettia on tissue paper and colored with Prisma Pencils before adhering it to the coaster with Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry, I stamped the flourish from the Jumbo Peony Set with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Aged Gold Embossing Enamel.

 For the final Coaster I used Snow Bird.  I stamped it on tissue and colored with pencils and then adhered it to the coaster with Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage.

When dry, I sprinkled Shabby White Embossing Enamel  randomly on the edges of the coaster and heated until it melted.

It would be really easy to mass produce these and they would make great gifts.  I am going to make some more to give to friends with the bottles of Sangria that we give for gifts every year!

Some of the other ladies on the Stampendous Design Team made projects today too.

Check them out!

It's Fran's Birthday!

It's Fran Seiford's birthday today!

Fran is the fabulous owner of Stampendous and is responsible for all the wonderful stamps and Frantagey yumminess that Stampendous is known for!

So...for this weeks Creative Cuts and More project I decided to make a fun Pop Up birthday card for her!

  

I started by stamping "Happy Day" from the Rose Thoughts Perfectly clear set randomly on a die cut Standing Pop Up Card from Creative Cuts and more, with VersaMark ink.

Then I heat embossed the stamped words with Rubelite embossing powder.

 

I added embossing powder to the edges of the main panel before putting the card together.

 

When the whole Standing Pop Up Card  is together and closed it looks like this.

 

The image is Cowlik Cake from Stampendous.

The sentiment is Graceful Birthday from Stampendous.
