Addicted to Stamping

Ribbon Rose Thank you

This is a simple card I made using some left over pieces from my upcoming punch art class. I haven't made these ribbon roses in years but I like how they turned out using SU satin ribbon. The leaves are the wings from the two-step owl punch.

Gingerbread Christmas

I was finally brave enough to cut into my new Stampin' Up fabric. The original card had the same DSP as the dress but my punch art gingerbread family was too whimsical to suit the card base so I went for a candy cane look instead.

Punches: adult heads-1" cirlce, body-fancy flower, baby heads-1/4" circle, bodies-boho blossoms.

Well I'm off to  stamp and play with more products from the holiday mini. So many new products...so little time.

Deck the Halls

Here's a quick card I made with the Deck the Halls DSP. The glitter doesn't show in the photo but the front of the DSP was inked up with versamark and embossed with irredecent ice.

Merry Crittermas

    Merry Crittermas is one of the cutest sets in the holiday mini. The sentiment is from Bright Christmas.

The color scheme is Pacific Point, Real Red, Bashful Blue, Wild Wassabi and Crumb Cake. I used a blender pen to color  the rabbit and post-it notes and a sponge to make the hills. I also added some dazzling diamonds with a glue pen to the hills and sky.

Halloween Bats

  Here's a quick and easy punch art card using the new bat punch, the 1-1/4" circle and the jewelry tag punch.

The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Certaily Celery, Black and White.

The Sentiment is from the All Holidays stamp set.

Elements of Style

I'm planning out some swaps for Regionals in Sept. Here are a couple of variations.

An Evening to Remember

One of the highlights of convention was an event “An Evening to Remember” put on by Linda Hansen. The event was amazing. Linda chose an elegant venue, the diner was great, the make& takes were designed by Diana Gibbs, the swaps were awesome and Dina Anker did an excellent job of organizing them.

 

I met and chatted with so many nice people AND......for diner I got to sit beside the guests of honour, Jaron and Lori. This truly was an evening to remember!

 

I came across this photo on Linda’s blog. I think it was taken by Dina Anker. Thanks Dina!!!

 

Piggy Punch Art

 This is the last of my Convention swap cards. I used the jewelry tag punch for the fence, snout: 1/2" circle, head: 1-1/4" circle, Body: 1-3/4" circle, feet and tail: Heart to Heart punch. Ears: 5 petal flower.

I used Pretty in Pink card stock for the pig and sponged around all of the pieces with the same color ink.  

Punch Art Christmas

This was a little punch art card I made for a 3x3 swap at convention. I used the jewelry tag punch for the fence and the wreath is made with the Boho Blossoms, 1/2" circle, Heart to Heart and standard hole punches.

Things I Love

 This was one of the swap cards I made for convention using the Things I Love stamp set.  To make the black centre mat, I cut a 3" square and used the eyelet border punch on the centre of each side. I punched the petal card from vellum to make the envelope and stamped a little tag to go inside. The tab on the tag is the Jewelry tag.
