SSC115: Picture Frame Scene

We have a new challenge at Sunday Stamps! this week for you.  This week we are working with a color challenge.   Here it is:

I had so many ideas rolling around in my head one of which was to create a picture frame with the Hardwood background stamp.  Since I am still working on Christmas cards and small gifts, it was easy for me to create another Christmas themed project with all the supplies on my desk!   The colors I chose for this weeks color challenge are:  Basic Gray, Soft Sky, Island Indigo and Whisper White.  Here's what I made:


It looks like a framed picture, doesn't it?  I had a lot of fun creating this! Perfect cabin feel to it. :)  All I need now is a roaring fire, my slippers and a glass of wine in hand. -sigh


To create this card, I first cut out a moon shape using my 3/4" circle punch and a sticky note, and placed it where I wanted it. I then masked the snow area off the bottom and brayered Soft Sky and Island Indigo onto the cardstock to create my sky.

I colored the trees with my Smoky Slate Blendabilities (retired) and added little snowflakes to the sky with White craft ink.  To finish off the sky, I added cute little stars using the Confetti Stars Border punch.  The Fine-Tip Glue Pen makes it a snap! 

The awesome Snowflake Element at the top of the card was also sponged with White craft ink and topped off with a Brights Candy Dot.  The "peace" tag is from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set.

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
