Cover Plate: Circles

Here is a card using the PTI die Cover Plate: Circles.  I used the die on Whisper White card stock and punched out all the circles and the diamonds. I cut off a portion so that only 3 rows of circles show and adhered it to Real Red card stock.  I stamped some of the circles with the three stamps in Country Charm by WPlus9 and left a few plain white. Then I adhered the circles back onto the punched out cover. The little red diamonds show through which I like.  I tied on twill tape then tied on some little tags with Baker's twine that I had punched with SU's tiny tags punch.  I stamped the sentiment in white  & then embossed it in white to make it pop out more. I really like how this turned out! Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

Stamps: Think Big Favorites #22 (PTI), Tiny Tags (SU)

Paper: Real Red, Whisper White (SU)

Ink: Real Red, White craft

Accessories: Twill tape, Baker's twine, white embossing powder

Tools: Cover Plate: Circles (PTI)

I'm Back - I Hope

It's been a while since my last post. December was a busy month with a baby shower for my daughter and then Christmas. Now I'm trying to catch up.  Here is a card that I made when my daughter and I had some stamping time together.

I started with the new Papertrey Cover Plate: Circles in white. I stamped the individual circles with SU Make a Mitten. The reindeer are Midnight Muse, The poinsettia shapes are Pacific Point and the snowflakes are Cool Caribbean.  I thought it was too white so I changed the diamonds to Tempting Turquoise.  The circles on the left and right are stamped with Country Charm by WPlus9. The sentiment is Think Big Favorites #22 by Papertrey Ink.  I added some Baker's Twine & grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.  I'll try to have more cards tomorrow :-)

Paper: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise (SU)

Cloud9 Blog Hop & DD28

Here is my card for the Cloud9 Blog Hop. I started out with more colors but it didn't work and I ended up with just the two.  I'm not even going to tell you how many times I stamped the different rows of Fair Isle Backgrounds until I got them lined up evenly. After I finally got that done I stamped the gingerbread man and layered him up with the Clear Cut Stackers: Pinking Squares and then popped him up with dimensionals on some fishtail flags. 

Edit: Even though I made this card yesterday it works pretty well for today's Dynamic Duos so I'm adding it to that as well :-)

I added a little button on the gingerbread man to make him stand out more.   Thanks for stopping by!

Last Halloween Card

I guess I was on a roll today. Here's my last Halloween card. I stamped the clothesline from Heartfelt Mix in Basic Gray on Vanilla. Then I hung the four images from Spooky Bingo Bits. I added some Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP to the left side, a little strip of pinked edge in Tangerine Tango and a piece of black ribbon.  The sentiment from Primitive Pumpkins was cut with a fishtail tag die and matted on a piece of black. A black brad and a piece of Baker's twine completed this and it was popped up on dimensionals.  This card is also good for the colourQ challenge this week.  Thanks for checking out my Halloween cards!

Happy Birthday Hubby

Well it's been almost 2 months since my last post. Lots of life happening but I hope that things might settle down now.  It felt really good to be back in my stamping room!  So here's the card that I made for my husband's birthday. I really need to focus on photography and learn how to use the manual settings on my camera.

I knew that I wanted to use my new set by WPlus9 "A Pocketful" so I started with that stamped in Midnight Muse on Very Vanilla card stock.  I wanted some presents peaking out of the pocket and didn't think that any of my stamp sets worked so I used my SU large tag punch to punch them out. You can't see the tag part as that is tucked below in the pocket. The front 2 presents were embossed with a dots folder and the back present was embossed with my SU Stripes embossing folder.  For the bows I used my SU Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch and cut them in half.  The pocket/presents are layered with dimensionals on Pool Party DSP which is backed with Gumball Green and a bit of Baker's Twine is also tied on. The sentiment is from "A Pocketful".  The card is backed on Midnight Muse.  I have a bunch of other new stamping stuff and can't wait to play some more :-)
