Crabby!!!

I have finally figured out how to use this stamp set and it is retiring! I made this card for my brother in laws birthday.
I used the Kraft cardstock and the Riding Hood Red

This gift card idea came from Julie Buhlers blog paperpleasing.typepad.com

This is the card my club will be making this month.

Very simple once you get the measurements right. The card is 4 3/4" by 11" scored at 5 1/2, 3", and 8". Use the word window punch to make the slot and then a circle punch in the middle of where the two window punches meet.

Enjoy

HO HO HO
I think I have made this little guy a million times, it is very easy.
I will be making this page for my club this coming weekend and I am pretty sure they will all like it.

My husbands coworker is leaving and he asked me to make her a card and this is what I came up with.
This tree is really pretty in gold embossing powder.

Group shot of all the cards

Here is the final group shot of all the SAS cards. They look pretty good. Let me know what you think. This was our first SAS and it was a lot of fun.

Snow Swirled is beautiful in green and black

LOVE IT!!!!! My upline made this one from a case of our upline Shelly May. I love the color combo, this is something I would have not thought of on my own. This stamp set, Snow Swirled, is definitely getting some use this Christmas!

Ornament card

This is another card my upline made, she is extremely talented and I'm glad she made this ornament card. I love the look of the designer paper as a highlight for the greeting.

Happy Holidays!

This is one of the cards my upline (Danita)
made for our SAS. I really like the ribbon out of
the Holiday Mini that she used!

Candy bar wrappers

Here are the candy bars up close

Christmas Candy Bar Wrappers

Aren't these little guys just too much!!!!!!

I used alot of different ideas I saw on other blogs and on splitcoaststampers. Thank you all for the great ideas out there.
I put all of these candy bar wrappers on Kraft so that the other colors would pop. They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself!
I think these will make cool gifts for my stamp club this month

This is a card I made that didn't quite make the cut for my SAS, but I really like it. I will probably play with it some more, it needs some more details like embossing or something.

I used the same color combo as the Merry and Bright card. The colors are Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy and Whisper White. The silver cording is used again with the silver brads for a little embellishment. The Snow wheel is rolled with the Bravo Burgundy ink. I did scuff up the edges a little with the Cutter Kit distressing tool.

Merry and Bright

Isn't he adorable? This is the final card that I will be making for my Stamp a Stack. I used the Merry and Bright stamp set. The color combo is Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, and Whisper White. I seem to use this combo alot at the holiday season. The Bravo Burgundy is on dimensionals and then I slipped the silver cording (I can never get enough of that cording!) under the cardstock. The little star is also on a dimensional.

I punched out the circle in the Bravo Burgundy with the new large punch and then the snowman is adhered to the Mellow Moss cardstock and he fits perfectly inside. I versa marked the snowflakes from the same stamp set all over the Bravo Burgundy.

Super easy and cute!!

Stamp a Stack #2

This is another super simple card for my SAS. I used the new Kiwi Kiss and Real Red for the colors. The wreath is made with the snowflake stamps from Snow Swirled and Season of Friendship. The bow is just a simple knot on a glue dot.

I hope you like it

Stamp a Stack

I just love the new in color Pacific Point!


I used this lay out a few times before and it works so well with these colors.


I am using this card as one of my first ever stamp a stack cards. Keeping these cards simple is really hard! I kept thinking of ways to add some sparkle but had to remind myself not to do that!


I will post some more cards as I get them completed.

MARBLING

This is another card from our club that my upline made. We used an empty stamp box and put a few drops of reinker in and rolled around a couple of marbles in it and then we taped a piece of whisper white cardstock to the top of the lid, flipped the box over and rolled the marbles around on it until there is as much color as you like. We used tangerine tango and basic black on the one with the cat and kiwi kiss and tangerine tango on the pumpkin one. Love it!!!

Magic Snowflake

You have to try this!! This is so simple and makes such an impression! This technique is called magic snowflake (on splitcoast stampers website) and it really needs to be seen in person to get the whole visual effect.

To make this you will need glossy white paper, reinkers (whichever colors you like), rubbing alcohol, and cotton balls.

All you do is get some rubbing alcohol on the cotton ball and put two drops of each reinker on the cotton. It works best with a light and a dark color. I used chocolate chip and riding hood red. And then just bounce the cotton ball on the glossy paper and that is pretty much it.

This is really pretty with shades of blue, also.

Try it, you'll like it!!!!

I forgot to mention that I embossed the Wow Flowers before I used the cotton ball. Sorry!!!

Snow Swirled

Isn't this beautiful? My upline , Danita, made this one also for our club. She used transparency sheets for the card base and we embossed the tree from Snow Swirled with silver embossing powder. We stamped the snowflakes with the white staz on and wrapped the silver cording at the fold.

I will definitely be making more of these for my Christmas cards.

My upline and club partner in crime, Danita, made this scrapbook page at our November club meeting. I love the colors she used, they should be good for pictures of the kids playing in the snow or building a snowman.

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Isn't he cute? I made this guy with punches and the stamp set Pick a Petal. This would be a great card to wish some one a Happy Thanksgiving. Or you could put a name in the slot punch card for a place card at the Thanksgiving table.

I think this is my favorite stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalog. I have used it for Holiday cards, Fall cards and I will probably use it for Spring cards. If you are interested in getting a Holiday Mini before this is gone just email me and I will get you one.
