Happy Birthday Chick

Dear Crafters,

Today’s project uses the brand new Balloon Bouquet Punch, Perfect Pairings stamp set and the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set.

Honeycomb Happiness chick #stampinup

I covered the white card base with some Cherry on Top DSP and stamped the sentiment from the Perfect Pairings stamp set (can be earned free with any $90 order) in Bermuda Bay ink.

The chick was stamped in black directly onto some Daffodil Delight Core card and fussy cut. Then the beak and feet were coloured with the Tangelo Twist Stampin’ Write Marker.

The gold glimmer balloon was cut using the Balloon Bouquet Punch, sure to be a massive seller from the soon to be released Occasions catalogue (5th January)! Don’t you agree that you could use this on so many projects?!!! I added the balloon and chick using dimensionals and some gold cording trim behind the chick and balloon.

Cute as a Mouse

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the Balloon Builders stamp set from the Occasions catalogue. I have to admit that when I first saw this set, it wasn’t one that was going to the top of my list to purchase. But, as I looked at it more and more and saw the samples in the catalogue, I had to make this card I share today.

Balloon Builders #stampinup

The card base is Delightful Dijon. The top layer is Whisper White, which has a piece of Washi Tape added to the bottom.

Mouse Balloon Builders #stampinup

I stamped the mouse in Smoky Slate ink using a variety of the stamps and his nose in Rose Red. The balloon and sentiment is stamped in Delightful Dijon ink and fussy cut then added with a dimensional. I tied a bow with some Gold Cording Trim and adhered it with a glue dot.

Isn’t he just the cutest little thing?

Ninja Turtles

Ninja Turtles #stampinup

Dear Crafters,

 

My 6 year old has been invited to a 6th birthday party of one of her classmates and apparently he loves Ninja Turtles, so this is what I have made for him!

Ninja Turtles #stampinup

I added some of those cute googly eyes which I think give them so much more character.

I used the 1-1/4″ circle punch and the Large oval punch to create the turtles head from Wild Wasabi card.

The bandanna’s are made from 1/2″ strips of Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Tempting Turquoise & Real Red. The Triple Banner punch was used to create the ends of the bandanna.

The mouth is drawn by hand.

The black background is embossed with the Hexagon TIEF.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, so not entirely my idea, but oh how cute are they?!

 

If you are excited as me, then you will need to get your copy of the new Occasions catalogue early, because 5th January is the date you will be able to start purchasing products. Please email me so I can mail you a copy in mid-December.

Gift Card Holder

Dear Crafters,

Gift Card Holder #stampinup

Today I share a couple of gift card holders (cased from Claire Daly) which are very simple to make.

You can create 3 of these from 1 x A4 sheet of cardstock by cutting it vertically at 7cm x 29.7cm!

I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to die cut the end of the card, then score it at 3-1/8″ and 7-3/4″.

Emboss the opposite end to the framelit cut end and adhere Stampin’ Up! Tear and Tape to create a pouch. (This tape can be cut vertically so you have a very thin strip, otherwise the gift card won’t fit in!)

Create a belly band that slips over to hold it shut and decorate however you like. I have used the 2-3/8″ Scallop circle punch and added some embellishments. The ice-cream is the Sprinkles of Life stamp set which can be found on the back page of the AC.

Incy Wincy Spider

Dear Crafters,

Today I share a card using the new Spider Web Doilies and Black Glimmer Paper in the Holiday Catalogue (pg 47).

Incy Wincy Spider #stampinup

Seeing as we don’t celebrate Halloween here in Australia (like the USA do!), I didn’t particularly want to make Halloween cards or projects. But, I loved the spider web doilies and had to purchase them!!!!

I also loved the black glimmer paper and thought it would create the cutest, most sparkly spider and I was right!

Incy Wincy Spider #stampinup

See his legs? How did I make them you ask?

Well, notice that the doilie has been trimmed to fit in the top corner of the card?

The left over pieces I trimmed down to be his legs. No waste in this house!!!

I added some googly eyes to finish him off, cute hey?!!

Please let me know what you think of my card.

I am Robot

Dear Crafters,

Robot Boys will be Boys #stampinup

Today I share a card for the boys using the stamp set, Boys Will Be Boys!

My base is Tip Top Taupe card stock with a layer of Whisper White card stock, then some Go Wild DSP.

The image is stamped with the new black archival ink pad onto Watercolour paper and coloured with an Aquapainter and Inkpad. I rounded only 2 diagonal corners of the watercolour paper and the opposite on the Tip Top Taupe card behind it!

Robot Boys will be Boys #stampinup

I added some Candy Dots and ribbon for detail.

Girly girl

Dear Crafters,

Hey Girl #stampinup

Today I share another card I made using the Hey Girl stamp set! I have used Coastal Cabana, Whisper White and Silver as my colour combination.

Hey Girl #stampinup

I stamped the image on the Whisper White card stock and then fussy cut it out with paper snips.  I coloured her using my Stampin’ Write Markers. Check out that Metallic Foil Doilie. Isn’t it cute? Well you get 24 in a pack and they come in 2 sizes in gold and silver for only $7.00. Check them out here.

The image is added using dimensionals and some twine holding the balloon. A very simple card, but it doesn’t need anything else!

Dino Roar

Dear Crafters,

Dinosaur Roar #stampinup

Today I share a card I made using the No Bones About It stamp set!

 

I have used Old Olive, Very Vanilla and Wild Wasabi as my colours combination.

Dinosaur Roar #stampinup

I stamped the skeleton image over the Very Vanilla card and then embossed it with the Large Polka Dot TIEF.

Dinosaur Roar #stampinup

 

Notice the inside panel? I cut it to size and then carefully stamped the dinosaur (from the front of the card) at one end and used the oval framelits to die cut it out, so I could use what was left for the inside panel of my card and stamp this next image in the centre of the oval. Never waste anything!!!!
