Undefined- Star Wars

 At the  end of the school year I have been making a tin of cards for each of my kids' teachers, decorating the tin, filling it with a stack of cards for different occasions.  I like to add a book of postage stamps on the lid with a magnet and  put it in a bag with a stack of envelopes so they have everything they need to send out the cards.

One of my boy's teacher this year is crazy about Star Wars.  He has movie nights at school and has lots of paraphernalia on his desk. He was the teacher for my other boy in the past and I had found some Star Wars designer paper then, but this time I had no luck finding anything appropriate. So Undefined again to the rescue-  it is now retired through Stampin' Up but I bought a bunch of extra carving material just for situations like this.   I found some pictures on the internet that I thought would work and printed it and used it to carve out the images.  I found the font TIE-WING on line for free and printed on whisper white CS using my printer.  I printed 4 on one sheet then cut it out then stamped the images above the sentiment.  The Yoda is stamped in Pear Pizazz with same color CS to layer the stamped piece.

Easy cards and now with my new stamps I can make many many more.  I have little stamping space so I don't mount the carved rubber on the wood blocks but they are thick enough to work without the wood.
I also carved out too much of Yoda's eyes so when I stamp it, it looks wonky.  Since Stampin' Up has coordinated everything, I just used the marker to fill in the eyes a bit and it's just fine.....

Seattle Seahawks Defined.

  I wanted to make a birthday card for my father in law who moved to live closer to us from Seattle.  My in-laws are die hard Seahawk fans and we got them a superbowl shirt from their last win and wanted to make a card to match.

Their logo has this neon green color -so I used Green Galore (retired SU) and matched it with Night of Navy.

They also have this a pattern on the sides of their uniform, perfect for our Chevron border punch. 

The sentiment is from Four You set stamped with versamark and heat embossed with Silver EP.

I downloaded the image from online, and used a pencil to draw it on paper and used the undefined stamp carving kit to carve out the image.

I stamped it three times using the versamark and embossed it clear to create a subtle image.

Go Seahawks!

a quick Undefined PS3 controller Birthday card

It feels that everything at my home is so Rushed.  My son Tyler was invited to a birthday party that I did not know about until an hour before and of course, I am expected to whip out some fabulous card for the occasion.  So I fell back on the PS3 controller that I carved from Undefined which seems appropriate for all 13 year olds in his crowd.

The base card is Bermuda Bay, embossed at an angle with Arrows Embossing folder.  Two different Kaleidoscope DSP is diecut with On Film framelit as shown.  I stamped the controller using versamark pad onto whisper white CS and heat embossed with black embossing powder and cut it out.  I drew a black line where the cord would have gone and mounted the controller with dimensionals.  The Happy Day banner is from this year's hostess set Banner Greetings, stamped with Bermuda Bay inkpad.  The For You is from the new 2014-2015 catalog hostess set called Hello There stamped in Strawberry slush both mounted with dimensionals.  Little pocket on the inside using the smallest of the envelope liner die, stuff it with cash and he was good to go.  Not bad for a 15 minute on the fly card, eh? 

My favorite new product- Undefined - with Dylan's Doggy

 Dylan has had a little doggie blanket (stuffed head with body that is flat like a rug) that he got as a baby that he LOVES.  I mean he will wait outside the washer until he gets it back sort of love.  He draws these cute little picture of his Doggy and I had to use it to make a stamp using the new Undefined stamp making kit. 

It reminded me of how I used to carve erasers to make stamps years before all the new beautiful professional images came to being.  There are 2 tools included a narrow v shape cutting tool for details and a U shape for larger areas.  They are

 really well designed with comfort grips to minimize stress on my hands which I love.  It comes with one large rubber piece with wood mounting adhesive foam pad and 4 pieces of wood to mount after finish.

This is a picture of Doggy I had Dylan draw on a piece of paper with pencil.  I then took that image, put it on the rubber penciled side down and rubbed it to transfer the image.  It will be a mirror image but that is ok because when you stamp it will be a mirror image again.

After I carved it out, I stamped the image I carved using Staz-On onto the little wooden block that fit it.  and then mounted it on the wood. I did stamp it a couple of times on paper to make sure I got the image I liked.  I did have to shave a little here and there to get a better image.

Now I am thinking angrybirds, R2D2, my mind is going wonky over all the possibilities......
