This is another card I made for the Artisan Award contest. The dragon pops up above the castle when you pull on the door.
The dragon is one of the charactors from my Cute Critters punch art class and here are the instructions for the slider card
On the inside of the card I put a Confetti Flinger filled with matching punched pieces. Click on the link to find the video tutorial.
I joined an ATC (artist trading card) swap so I've been working on my samples. The ATC's look so lost without a card to go with them so I made a sample for myself and used it on a full size card. Here's my first one. It is for the embossing category. I did some dry embossing around the edge of the white layer with my diagonal score plate. I embossed the background with an embossing folder and I embossed my words with clear embossing powder then sponged colour on top.
I needed a masculine birthday card. I know I have lots of them made but I can never seem to find one when I need it. Time to reorganize my samples. Here's one I had in my stash. I used vellum and the crimper to make the mug and the oval punch for the centre of the handle but I don't remember what other supplies I used. The sentiment was from the Cheers to You stamp set.
This is a quick and easy gift card holder I designed for our Christmas SAS class. I used the Petite Pocket die, the Holiday Stocking die and the Stocking Accents die (all from Stampin' Up). I love using the big shot when you have to prep over 100 cards.
To make this gift card holder cut a stocking from DSP and one stocking with toe, heel and cuff from White card stock. Cut a petite pocket from white card stock and cut it off at the scoreline. You can download the class handout Download Stocking Gift Card Holder for instructions on how to assemble your gift card holder. If you'd like to use this handout for a class, feel free.
That's what my daughter used to say when she rode the hobby horse I made her. He's been the inspiration behind a few of my latest projects. Here's one of them....a hobby horse made from the Stocking Die and the 1" cello bags. I cut out 3 stockings to make this card. I used 1 stocking to hide all the yucky stuff like the raw ribbon ends and the backs of my brads.
To make the mane I taped loops of ribbon between the two stockings then snipped the loops so they would be uneven and jagged.
I scored the 3rd stocking across the top and attached the card front above the score line so the card would open.
The stick is made from a 1" strip of card stock. I folded the bottom up and punched a couple of holes in the top and bottom to tie on the cello bag so it could be removed easily.
I incorporated the get well tag for the So Shelli Thinking of you Challenge and the SUO New Stamp Set Challenge
And here's a picture of my son's hobby horse. He's 14 now but still not ready to part with it. BTW he's made from a new sock not one DH wore otherwise I'm sure it would have been considered child abuse. I made a ton of these for craft shows over the years. One lady used to order them and ride them into the baby showers she attended.

Here's another card made with the stitched stocking stamp set and punch. This is such a cute set. I can't put it down. I used a So Saffron marker to draw on the horse's mane. The stocking is stamped in basic grey and punched out. I used the heel for the ear.
I made this card for a masculine swap I was in. I love the black and grey DSP! I cut it into 2" x 4" strips so I was able to get lots of cards from one pad of DSP. The 3D butterflies are made from 2 butterfly punched shapes. I folded them in half, drew the body on the card with a marker and glued a folded butterfly on either side of the body. The wings still stuck out after being squished in my suitcase for several hours
Here's another card I entered in the 2011 Artisan Award contest. You can find the written instructions and video to make the punch art gnome and flower here. The wagon is from the retiring More Monkey Accessories stamp set.

This is one of the scrapbook pages I made for the 2011 Artisan Award contest. This was my first chance to play with the baker's twine. It looped like that on its own so I just added my tags and left the loops where they were.
I made the ship in 3 separate pieces. I cut the neck of the bottle from a window sheet, sponged around the edges with White Stazon and attached it to the page with Big Shot Adhesive so it wouldn't show. The ship was stamped on white card stock and cut out around the top. For the bottle, I made a tube and rounded the edges with the corner rounder punch. The seam is hiding under the card stock. I left the top puffed up a little to give it a 3D effect.
