I played with my Paper Pumpkin today!! It was so much fun, I just went to the Pinterest Paper Pumpkin site after I did the handmade cards and box straight from the PP directions, I wanted to do some different ones, and this site helped me pick out what I wanted to do!
The SU! card in the middle uses the new Gold 3/8″ glitter ribbon #139614 from the Holiday Catalog (2015) . I cut up one of the cards with the stripes so I could get more from that one sheet (since it is printed front and back, I can make a lot of cards by piecing it.)
I also paired the saying with the Metallic Foil Doilies #138392 behind it to make it POP! Adding dimensionals underneath really made it stand out!
The card to the right of the middle I used the cut up piece (from the middle card) and layered it onto Gold Foil Sheets #132622, and used the ribbon from the kit I was inspired by one of the cards on the site listed above.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the 1/2 off deal that Stampin’ Up! is offering now until the 10th of September, you get TWO months for the price of one!! Just go to PaperPumpkin.com site and sign up! Just remember to put me down as your Demonstrator!
I am having a Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree Class next month. We will be making framed Seasons art (this has a biblical verse inside, you can include it or not), four handmade cards with decorated envelopes inside and out AND the cost of the class covers YOU getting the stamp set and the Envelope Liner paper to take home with you along with the cards and Art!!
You get the class, cards, stamp set and liner paper, and what do you pay? Only $38!!
IF you already have the stamp set, just buy a stamp that is equal to the price!
Here are pictures of the cards and framed art. Psssssst! I even teach you how to make a mixture for the trees in the Winter Season!!
You can click on each photo and see them closer. Notice the hand stamped Winter card, hopefully you can see the shimmer! This uses my own concoction from SU! materials!
This is a Pre-Pay class, I want to have the class by the middle of September so the latest you can register is the first week in September!
This was really fun to make, I plan on giving this away for a present!
I can also do a video for each card, if anyone wants to do a class to go, and orders the same amount. This way even if you don’t live near-by or can’t make it to class, you can still enjoy making it at home in your own time!
Today I am going to be sharing with you two of my SU! handmade cards that I have done this week!
The first one is one using the White Simply Pressed Clay along with the Alphanumeric Mold, the Clay is in the Big Catalog but you’ll find the Alphabet/numeric mold in the seasonal catalog (pg 32 #137854, for only $9.95), My friend had the mold so I let her do the letters for me, and once they were dry I cut them (there is a little clay around the letter if you did it right, that you can cut away the excess so the image is really bold!), then I colored them using our SU! Write Markers in these colors: Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Rose Red. I used these colors because those are the colors in the DSP I used – Painted Blooms.
This way as usual with Stampin’ Up! everything coordinates! After I applied the color I used Fast Fuse on the back of each letter and adhered it to my DSP. If you haven’t used Fast Fuse, you HAVE to try it #129026, page 204 in the Catalog! It’s the best adhesive that I have tried that works with EVERYTHING!
Once adhered to the Designer Paper, I went over the letters with my Versamark Pad, just pouncing over top of them, saying to myself…..boink, boink, boink……must be watching too may Disney Movies! 🙂
I then sprinkled Crystal Clear Embossing Powder over where I pounced the Versamark and then tipped the card over and flicked off the extra powder, then I heat set it and WOW!, it made the letters look like they were Ceramic! Hopefully you can see that in the picture
I stamped the saying “@numberonemother” from the SU! set @SoSocial, LOVE this stamp set, it has just about everything you would EVER need to say in it! I stamped that saying using Rose Red ink onto Blushing Bride paper and then made it pop out of the side between the Black paper and the Pacific Point Paper. I also stamped the Chevron stamp using Rose Red ink onto Rose Red paper! All Coordinating, and a very awesome card to send to your Mom, or a Mom to be!!
The next project I did was almost COMPLETELY Cased (Copy And Stamp Everything) from Sandy at: StampWithSandy.com I really loved the simplicity of this card, plus it has layers, and diamonds (Rhinestones in SU! speak, but I like calling them DIAMONDS!). the only thing I changed was I stamped my saying “Just Sayin'” from the Crazy About You stamp set onto Baked Brown Sugar (Sandy used Crumb Cake I think) then cut it out with the arrow from On Film thinlits, and topped it off with the Hello You Thinlits. I love arrows! They go with this saying perfectly!!
I stamped the flower in Cherry Cobbler and stamped off the leaves using Baked Brown Sugar, then Put the white and the Bermuda Bay on top of the Base of Baked Brown Sugar! I wrapped the white Bakers Twine around the white, I don’t like it when the ribbon shows on the inside. This was a fun simple card that uses my thinlits (which I LOVE!) and I thank Sandy for the inspiration!
That’s it for me today, it was a long week for me!
Hope your day goes great and hopefully I’ll see you back next week…….maybe with some Blog Candy perhaps, hmmmmm?
Come back again!
