PaperCrafts Magazine Challenge 3-Stamp on Felt

Morning everyone! Here is Challenge #3 from THIS mag, which I adore! I only had white felt in the house, and my plan for all of these challenges, is to use products I already have in the house :o) I went soft and elegant with this pretty little card. My black StayzOn looks light grey on the felt (think I need to re-ink my pad!), but I like the look!

Join me, and link your "stamped on felt" card below!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise noted)
Basic Grey CS and Classic Ink, Raspberry Ripple CS, Classic Ink and 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Four Frames Stamp Set, Thank You Kindly Stamp Set, Fancy Label Punch, Whisper White CS, Polka Dot Background Stamp, Felt (non SU!), StayzOn Ink

February 2012 Artful*Inkers Team Swap

Morning everyone! Here are the card fronts I made for this months Artful*Inkers Team Meeting Swap. The theme was Sale-A-Bration. Which, in my MIND I understood, but in EXECUTION I totally missed the point! All of my Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Mini Products came in the same box, so I had everything mashed together in my head. Oops! ;o) Anyway, I was very excited to get to use my new fave color combo (Pretty in Pink, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso) with my brand new P.S. I Love You Stamp Set (which is in the Occasions Mini if you are looking for it!) I've mounted these card fronts on the 3 different colors of card stock. I find it so interesting that just the background color changes the whole feel of the cards. Come on back Weds and Fri to see my team mates swaps!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
P.S. I Love You Stamp Set, Decorative Label Extra Large Punch, I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set, Calypso Coral CS and Classic Ink, Early Espresso CS and Classic Ink, Pretty in Pink CS And Classic Ink, Pretty in Pink Smooch Spritz, Very Vanilla CS, Basic Pearls.

Sorry...no Artful Inkers Christmas Countdown Swap Today...

It got lost in the mail, and is on the way. Hope to have it to show you within a week! In the meantime, let me show you what I am working on today...

These cards were made for a friend who was hosting a silent auction at her work. I figured thank you cards are just what is needed in January, so went that route instead of Christmas. Today, I am copying myself and making a bunch of these for Christmas gifts, but will swap out the label punch shape and the Thank You stamp for a Circle Punch, a Scallop Circle Punch and the recipients initials. I'm also going to vary the colors a bit...rumor has it "Tangerine Tango" is the "IT" color for 2012. Seriously. Check THIS post out!!! Way to be ahead of the trend Stampin' Up! I'll show you all some completed gifts AFTER the holidays!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Whisper White CS, Craft Ink, Embossing Powder, Basic Black CS, Tempting Turquoise CS and Classic Ink, Elegant Thank You Stamp, Decorative Label Extra Large Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

Inkspirations Challenge #91

OMGoodness, I luuuuuurve this card! It turned out 98% differently than I originally planned, but 100% better than it was in my minds eye! Does that ever happen to guys? After distressing and adhering my DSP I decided it was too bland. So I ran it through my Big Shot with the Spider Web Embossing Folder, still bland-ish, so I rubbed my VersaMark on it and embossed it with the Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. Better, but suddenly? Suddenly I realized the sweet little pumpkins I planned to use as my image, didn't really fit. Hmm. Second look at Keesh's amazing Sketch and I saw it....SPIDER!!!! Those legs make my heart beat faster, and they're so simple to make. They are punched 4 times (thin slices) with the long edge of the Decorative Label Punch, and cut in half. Thanks Keesh for the fabby sketch at the Inkspirations Site which inspired this card!!!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Basic Black CS, Retired Halloween DSP, Spider Web Embossing Folder, Iridescent Ice EP, VersaMark, Decorative Label Extra Large Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Googly eyes and sparkly black paper from my crafty stash.
