Stamps: Express Yourself (hostess set)

Use It Up Season Of Style Hexagon Hive Thinlit Six-Sided Sampler Thanks

Day 4 of my Season Of Style cards. I bought the Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die from the Occasions catalog right away, but I hadn't used it yet. Time to try it! These cards were a little putzy but fun to put together. The first card I put adhesive on the back of each little piece. The second card I got smart and put the adhesive on the card base inside each cut-out and then placed the piece. Much less mess!

Stamp: Six-Sided Sampler

Accessories: Label Bracket and Hexagon punches

Use It Up Season Of Style More Merry Messages Chipboard, Labels & Ribbon

Day 2 of my Season Of Style & Chipboard cards! I didn't plan on making Christmas cards in February- these just happened! The squares reminded me of presents, I guess. They also use more labels from an old card kit.

Stamp: More Merry Messages

Accessories: squares of chipboard that were inside the scallop frames I've used on other projects, retired Old Olive Seam Binding, Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon that matches better in person than it does in the picture. :) 

Stamp: More Merry Messages

Accessories: extra piece from the Gift Bow die (from the Holiday catalog but still available to order!), Scallop Oval and Hexagon punches, 5/8" Organza Ribbon

Use It Up Season Of Style Countless Sayings Show & Tell Chipboard

 After I did all the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper cards, I decided to use up some scraps of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack. I also found some stray pieces of chipboard so I worked them in too. The colors for all of these cards are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Old Olive. A few have Baked Brown Sugar as well. 

Stamps: Countless Sayings 2, Show & Tell 1 (both are photopolymer sets)

Accessories: die cut chipboard from a Convention project I didn't use

The red card stock on the top card is textured so it makes the stamped image seem bumpy. I did use a marker to fill in some spots that didn't stamp well.

My Photopolymer Monogram Stamp

My new Photopolymer Monogram stamp came the other day and I LOVE it! Here's a picture of the actual stamp (with the protective plastic on both sides) and the stamped image on the back of a card (the copyright stamp is from another set). 

You can put anything you want on these stamps! 1, 2 or 3 initials in the center. Any words in the center. Any words around the outside. Make a return address stamp. Make a save the date stamp. Make a greeting stamp for a special occasion. It's up to you! They are $23.95 each. Here's the flyer from SU! for them:

Use It Up Winter Frost Festive Flurry A Dozen Thoughts Snowflakes

We got more snow overnight and this morning, so it seemed like a good day to do some stamping! I had four sheets of Winter Frost Designer Series Paper from the little stack that was in the Holiday Catalog so I started planning my cards around them. I cut the sheets in half and challenged myself to make eight different cards with them that would also use some labels from old card kit. Here are the first two, which have snowflakes so they're appropriate to share today! The colors for all these cards are Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and Whisper White.

Stamps: Festive Flurry, A Dozen Thoughts

Accessories: Festive Flurry Framelits, Frosted Finishes Embellishments (top card), Hexagon Punch, Rhinestones (bottom card)

Petal Parade See Ya Later Sweet Sorbet Scalloped Tag Swap

We always do a swap for our Stamp Share. I love seeing everyone's cards and getting new ideas! Here is my card, which I CASE'd from Pinterest with a few small changes (card base color, DSP pattern, placement of circles).

 

 

Stamps: Petal Parade, See Ya Later (both SAB)

 

Colors: Basic Black, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White

 

Accessories: Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (SAB), Scalloped Tag Topper (Occasions Catalog), 1 3/4" and 1 1/4" Circle punches, Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder, 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Baker's Twine, Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Just Sayin' Scalloped Tag Topper Punch Closure

Last night was our Stamp Share and I did one of the make & takes. I've been seeing lots of cards made with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch lately, where the punched pieces come together and are tied with a ribbon. They've all been tall (portrait) cards so I decided to make mine short (landscape).

And here's another variation, a gate fold:

Stamps: Just Sayin', Perfect Pennants (inside of gate fold card)

Colors: Coastal Cabana, Real Red, Whisper White

Accessories: Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Word Bubbles and Hearts A Flutter framelits, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration)

When you use the Tag Topper Punch, it takes off about 1/8". To make sure the tag parts lined up correctly, I scored one end and then brought the other end to it, rather than scoring both ends and hoping they'd match.

Chevron Border Love Banner Blast Cover-Ups!

I finally did some stamping! Our Stamp Share is tonight and I'm doing a make & take as well as taking part in the swap. Of course I can't share them yet, but check back to see them soon! I had a few pieces and parts from other projects and decided to use them to make some cards. Remember this Chevron Punch card from the December Stamp-A-Stack? This is what I made out of the card bases where I didn't get the punch lined up quite right:

 

 

 

Stamps: Banner Blast

 

Colors: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Champagne

 

Accessories: Glimmer Paper, Expressions Thinlets (from the Holiday Catalog- no longer available), Chevron Border and Banner punches, Baker's Twine

 

The border on the sides is made with two pieces of card stock punched with the Chevron Border Punch and then "woven" together. Very easy to do and a great fix when what you wanted punched isn't lined up quite right! Another example of "there are no mistakes in stamping, just creative opportunities!"
