AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, crafty friends. Today's card was created following the new sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps! I had a fabulous time using the new  Christmas Pines Bundle  which can be found on page 19 of the Holiday catalog. This is a super fun bundle! I love the pine cones.  You can create many different styles in two different sizes.  For this card, I stamped the pine cone image with Versamark ink directly onto Chocolate Chip cardstock and then embossed it with gold embossing powder. The pine boughs were die cut out using Garden Green cardstock. Here's this weeks sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps!  You have until Friday, October 7, 2016 to play along with us. Here's a better picture of the gold embossed pine cones.   Stampin' UP! products: Christmas Pines Bundle This Christmas Specialty DSP Gold Glimmer Paper So now its time to head on over to the Sunday Stamps! challenge blog and see what the other design team mem...

Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a fun project I made using the super fun Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set and Cookie Cutter Builder punch from the Holiday catalog.  The Halloween stamp set and the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set Bundle are part of my October IN THE MAIL class. If you purchase these 3 items, I will send you supplies to make 4 adorable projects (2 from each stamp set) including a PDF of the projects and I will also include a 5th completed project for FREE!   Class details are HERE . This is a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" treat holder.  I used my favorite image in the stamp set. Can you say cuteness?? I stamped "her" in Archival Basic Black ink and then used a Blender pen to lightly color around her bones.  You probably aren't able to see in this picture, but I colored her eyes and teeth with Clear Wink of Stella. I added a Pumpkin Pie bow, and she's ready to go trick or treating!   And there's a "he" on the insi...
