Cherry Cobbler Christmas

Posted: Thursday, November 11th, 2010 @ 3:43 pm in Projects | No Comments »

I will be featuring Christmas projects on my blog for the next month.  I have been going crazy over this color combo:  Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla.  Sometimes I throw in some Early Expresso or Soft Suede.  Stamp Sets:  Bells and Boughs, Greeting Card Kids.  Add an antique brad, Crochet lace or seam binding.  […]

Today’s Tip – Shadow Stamping

Posted: Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 @ 2:05 pm in Projects | No Comments »

One of the perks we get as demonstrators is a monthly color magazine and access to online resources.  These 2 cards were adapted from contest winners shown in the last Stampin’ Success magazine.  I don’t have the French Foliage stamp set, so again I used the Autumn Spice My Digital Studio download for the images.  I used my […]

Today’s Tip: How to add feathers to your owl

Posted: Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 @ 8:21 pm in Projects | No Comments »

Here’s a neat idea that I’ve seen around.  Use the Flowerburst Embosslet for the Big Shot to make feathers for your owl.  You can even turn him into a turkey!  Sponge some ink onto the feathers to add color.   The Stampin’ Up! owl punch is a must have.  See earlier posts for even more ideas. Stamp […]

The Autumn Spice Download ($9.95) for My Digital Studio contains both the Day of Gratitude and French Foliage Stamp sets as well as the DSP.  By purchasing the download, I was able to  make a few hybrid cards as well as use it for future scrapbooking projects.  The first card was inspired by Lyssa’s card that was […]

Imbedded Embossing Technique

Here’s a fun technique that’s been a buzz lately.  This works especially well with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder by Stampin’ Up!   Punch or cut out shapes (here I used Leaves #2 die).  Place them in the folder on top of a panel of cardstock.  When you run the folder through your Big Shot, the […]

Halloween is over, but you can still use your Spider Web Embossing Folder for some great fall projects by making leaf veins.  Instructions are in the previous post.  This was my make and take at our last Erie Area Demonstrator meeting.

Autumn Spice Again

I made so many things with this paper that I’ve almost used up my whole package. The Greeting Card Kids stamp set is adorable on this little treat box.  On the second box, notice the leaves.  They are cut with the Big Shot Leave die #2 and then positioned on the spider web embossing die […]

Gift Card Holder

Posted: Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010 @ 10:34 am in Projects | 3 Comments »

I got this idea for a gift card holder from splitcoaststampers.  I’m also using it as a thank you/business card holder for people that order online  from me this month.  When I get my Jolly Holiday DSP from the Contempo Christmas Bundle (20% off on my website!) we can make some Christmas gift card holders […]

I promised some more projects with the Autumn Spice DSP.  This is a beautiful paper, and it is heavyweight – so great for boxes too.  Did you know that this paper is now available as a download for My Digital Studio?  It comes with 2 digital stamps sets – Days of Gratitude and French Foliage – […]
