Still Stamping With Sue

Happy Halloween 2018

 

Today's Halloween card uses NO rubber stamps. It does feature the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper, found on page 49 of the Holiday Catalog. I ended up writing my own sentiment on the inside of this card.

 

 

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Mossy Meadow Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4"

First Layer:  3 3/4" x 5" Crumb Cake Cardstock, placed inside the Corrugated Embossing Folder and put through the Big Shot.

Second Layer:  1" x 5" Mossy Meadow Cardstock

Third Layer:  3/4" x 5" Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper. Wrap Linen Thread around the Second and Third Layer and tie in a bow.

Fourth Layer:  3 3/8" x 3 3/8" Pumpkin Pie Cardstock

Fifth Layer:  3 1/4" x 3 1/4" Mossy Meadow Cardstock

Sixth Layer:  Place scalloped Layering Circle Framelit on scrap of Crumb Cake Cardstock and put through the Big Shot.

Seventh Layer:  Use Paper Snips to cut out three pumpkins from the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper. Attach one with SNAIL Adhesive and two with Dimensionals to the Sixth Layer.

 

The final touch to this card was to add three Mint Macaron Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequin with Pearl Jewels.

The Halloween candy is bought. The front porch is decorated. We are ready. Dan and I look forward to seeing the children in our neighborhood in their costumes. Even some parents dress up in costumes. We usually have over 100 trick-or-treaters. It is fun to see the four-wheelers or riding lawn mowers pulling trailers full of trick-or-treaters. They stop, pile off, run to a few houses and then pile back on the trailer. Have a howling Halloween!!!

 

 

Thinking of You Card using the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set

 

Fall is quickly disappearing in Minnesota. There is frost in the morning and some of the trees don't have any leaves on them. In my desperate attempt to enjoy Fall a bit more, here is today's project using the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set. The color scheme is Soft Suede, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Whisper White. 

 

 

This card was an inspiration from a card I made at Connie Thompson's recent stamp-a-stack. Of course, I had to make some changes to claim it as my own.

 

Normally, I don't decorate the inside of my cards, but I did with this one. 

 

Directions:

Card Base:  4 1/4" x 11" Soft Suede Cardstock, scored at 5 1/2".

First Layer:  4" x 5 1/4" Mango Melody Cardstock

Second Layer:  3 1/2" x 4 3/4" Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the leaf image in Mango Melody and Cajun Craze Ink.

Third Layer:  Place a scalloped Layering Oval Framelit on a scrap of Soft Suede Cardstock and put through the Big Shot. Attach with Dimensionals.

Fourth Layer:  Place a Layering Oval Framelit on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and put through the Big Shot. Stamp the sentiment in Soft Suede Ink.

Fifth Layer:  Use Cajun Craze Ink to stamp the leaf image on a scrap of Cajun Craze Cardstock   Cut out the leaf image with the Nature's Roots Framelit put through the Big Shot.

Inside Layer:  3 1/2" x 4 3/4" Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the leaf image in Mango Melody and Cajun Craze Ink.

 

 

Attach the leaf image with SNAIL Adhesive on the two leaves attached to the Fourth Layer and one Dimensional on the other leaf. Voila! A bright and cheerful Fall card!

Here are some views from my studio this month.

 

 

 

 And, six days later, the maple tree is almost bare of leaves.

 

 

Tomorrow I am at a day-long retreat. I'm trying to get my OnStage card swaps completed. Sunday is our oldest grandgirl's 15th birthday celebration (a few days early). I'm not sure how she can be in high school and ready for driver's education. Enjoy your Fall Friday and your weekend!!!

 

 

 

 

Creative Inking Blog Hop - With Gratitude, Saying Thanks Creatively

 

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop. It is exciting to announce that two new Blog Hoppers are joining this monthly Blog Hop. A warm welcome to Kelly Acheson and Barb Hale Mullikin. This month, we are featuring creative ways of saying thanks.

 

My project was the make & take at my team meeting last Sunday. It is interesting to give the same supplies to everyone, but the finished projects don't look alike. And, my project doesn't look like any other ones either.

 

  

This home decor piece features the Country Home Stamp Set and the Large Letters Framelits. It was made with a 5" x 7" canvas. It can be put in a frame, showcased on a display easel or leaned up against a mum plant. With the neutral color palette, it will match anyone's Fall decorations. It is the perfect thank you gift for this time of year!

 

Directions:

• 5" x 7" Gray Granite Cardstock placed inside the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and put it through the Big Shot. Line up the unembossed portion of the Gray Granite Cardstock in the embossing folder and put it through the Big Shot again. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to attach this to the canvas. Adhere two pieces of the Gray Granite 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon in two corners with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

 

• Place the Large Letters Framelits on Cajun Craze Cardstock and put through the Big Shot. Place the letters inside the Subtle Embossing Folder and put through the Big Shot. Take Q-Tips and dip in a Cajun Craze Ink Pad and rub along the edges of the letters. Use the Foam Adhesive Strips to adhere the letters.

 

• Stamp the pitcher and flowers images with Black Memento Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Use Paper Snips to fussy cut it. Use Stampin' Blends Combos to color the images (Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake). Use Dimensionals to adhere the image.

 

Add a Linen Thread bow to the pitcher with a Glue Dot. The final touch is to add three Clear Rhinestone Jewels.

Thank You Card using the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set

 

Today's card was designed around the sentiment, "kindness changes everything", which is found in the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. This card was designed to be bright and cheery by using the color scheme of Berry Burst, Powder Pink and a touch of silver.

 

 

 

How many of you remember back in the "olden" days of rubber stamping, when you took a ruler and a bone folder and scored diagonal lines on cardstock? I sure do! Now you can get that look quickly by using the Tufted Embossing Folder.

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Powder Pink Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

First Layer:  3 3/4" x 5" Berry Burst Cardstock. Place inside the Tufted Embossing Folder and put through the Big Shot.

Second Layer:  Put the scalloped Layering Circles Framelit on a scrap of Vellum Cardstock and put through the Big Shot. Attach to the First Layer with Dimensionals.

Third Layer:   Put the circle Stitched Shapes Framelit on a scrap of Powder Pink Cardstock and put through the Big Shot. Stamp the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and cover with Silver Embossing Powder. Use the Heat Tool to set the embossing powder. Attach to the Second Layer with SNAIL Adhesive.

 

 

Use the Sprig Punch on a scrap of Vellum Cardstock and on a scrap of a Silver Foil Sheet. Attach them to the Third Layer with Glue Dots. Make a bow from the 3/8" Berry Burst Metallic-Edge Ribbon and attach over the ends of the Sprig Punches with Glue Dots. The final touch is to add three Clear Rhinestone Jewels.

Our youngest grandgirl got her own table in my studio for the last two weeks that she has been off of school. This was from last week's papercrafting projects. She takes my box of leftover Big Shot items and creates projects with them.

This week, she has been painting on canvases. 

Her other grandma taught her this marbled technique. Put craft paint in a glass and pour on a canvas. Tip the canvas until the paint covers it. I lost count how many of these canvases she made.

 

Today is the last day she is at our house. I'm taking her to the apple orchard to buy apples, go on a hay ride, traipse through a corn maze and enjoy a beautiful Fall day with her. Then back to the house for a few more hours of art. Have a fabulous Friday and a wondrous weekend!!!

 

CAS(E) This Sketch 293 - Colorful Seasons Stamp Set

 

Yesterday, I received an email with this new Clean and Simple sketch challenge. You can click the image below, which will take you to their website to see other cards created with this sketch challenge.

 

 This was a sketch that I knew could be done in a few minutes. 

  

I grabbed my stash of leftover Big Shot items and began to create this clean and simple card. It wasn't stressful and it was fun to see how quickly I could finish this card. Because most cards I design, I spend way too much time fussing over them!

 

Directions:

Card Base:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Soft Suede Cardstock

First Layer:  4" x 10 1/2" Crumb Cake Cardstock, scored at 5 1/4". Place the Stitched Labels Framelit Die on the front (at about 2" from the bottom) and put through the Big Shot. Do the same except at about 1 1/2" from the bottom. Place the front inside the Subtle Embossing Folder and put through the Big Shot.

Second Layer:  Scrap of Soft Suede Cardstock. Place the Layering Ovals Framelit on it and put through the Big Shot.

Third Layer:  Scrap of Crumb Cake Cardstock. Place the Seasonal Layers Thinlit on it and put through the Big Shot.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Do you see the hint of texture from the Subtle Embossing Folder?

 

• Wrap Linen Thread around the First Layer and tie in a knot.
• Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to attach the leaf framelit to the oval. Attach the oval with Dimensionals.
• Use Soft Suede Ink to stamp the sentiment on the First Layer.
