More of Stampin' Up!'s A Cute Christmas stamp set.......Holiday Cards!

 I haven't even begun to run out of ideas to do with my stamp set, A CUTE CHRISTMAS. This stamp set is endless!  No wonder because it has 'everything" ....stockings, mitts, trees, ornaments, etc.  STAMPIN' UP! has made it one of their two featured holiday themes. So there are lots of materials that are designed to work together.

                                                                   Happy Holidays

This card is featuring TREES and the fun you can have colouring it with your markers or chalks.  It's a simple way to co-ordinate a small piece of the lovely CANDY CANE designer papers with your cardstock and  stamped image.

I am still playing with buttons - see the little one in the upper corner?  Because its a small button - I decided it could have more presence with a backing of a small cardstock scalloped 'button'.

With lots going on with the trees, I made my HAPPY HOLIDAYS GREETING...go subtle with a monochromatic look - blue ink on blue paper.  I think it looks smart!

All mounted onto a backing of embossed Whisper White cardstock - using our Swiss dots texturizing folder, "Perfect Polka Dots" !  Then a card base of Real Red to really pop!

Try it yourself!
Ok, off to do more!

 One TIP: when purchasing your INK Pads from STAMPIN' UP! - do as I do, and purchase a co-ordinating MARKER - it really ties your project together!   Also buying my chalks was a brilliant start to my hobby - it also allows me great co-ordination for the papers, and ribbons, etc. that I purchase from SU!

Gothic Birthday Card

 Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism!  I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better?  Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

  Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release.  To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest!  The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG !  So I had to do one! IT'S A  EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT!  GREAT KIDS PROJECT!  We made ours  after having breakfast  and  in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies:  CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES:  flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other:  1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
