I am excited to be a guest designer for Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps this month! My gig starts out easy with today’s Kraftin’ Kimmie challenge . Use heat or dry embossing on your project. Since making my first tag for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge this week, I was itching to create another tag.

For this one I started out with embossing a 2 /3″ x 4″ piece of Winter Park Patterned paper with a Snowflake  Embossing Folder. The raised snowflakes were sanded and the sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. Two more 2 3/4″ wide pieces of the same paper pack were sanded and stitched to a 3″ x 6″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock that had been sponged with Vintage Photo ink. The layers were adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock that had been cut with Tim’s large tag die.

For the sentiment panel I cut a piece of white and Kraft Cardstock with Tim’s Tag die. From the white piece I used the inner oval of the sentiment label. A sentiment from Kraftin’ Kimmie’s Holiday Sentiments was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink in it’s center. Then it was embossed with the same embossing folder used for the Winter park paper and sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. From the Kraft cardstock I used the outer part of the label. It was also sponged with Vintage ink and two brown brads were added. The panel was adhered with dimensionals to the lower part of the card.

I dyed some seam binding with Vintage Photo Distress Re-inker and water. It was turned into a bow and a button was tied on with Linen Thread. Parts of a Finesse Swirl were added above the bow and underneath the sentiment label. Three red Baby Bling Rhinestones were added under the sentiment.

As focal point for the upper part of the tag, I cut and embossed a piece of textured Kraft cardstock (Stampin’ Up!) with a Fanciful Holiday Shapeabilities die. It was sponged with Vintage Photo ink and a red Baby Bling Rhinestone was added to it’s nose. More dyed seam binding was attached to another red button and adhered to the top of the tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to participate in the challenge.
Have a great weekend!

I hadn’t played with MFT stamps for a while. So when I saw this VSN Mini challenge, I  got out Pure Innocence Snow Angel, stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, once on Neenah Solar White cardstock and twice on small patterned Holly Jolly Echo Park Patterned Paper.

The image was colored with Copic Markers (bear: E55, E57, E59   Holly & Berries: R08, R17, R29, G02, G05  Hat rim: C2, C0, C00   Snow: B0000, B000). The scarf hat and mitten patterned paper pieces were shaded with G0000, G000, G00, the boots and coat with R02, R05, R08). Before the paper pieces were added to the main image, The image was cut and embossed with a Classic Circle Nestabilities die. Two cloud masks were added, the image was masked and the background was airbrushed with Copic Marker B02. The Clouds were shaded with Copic Markers W00, W0, W1.

The image layer was adhered to a slightly bigger Canyon Brown cardstock circle and then to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Tear Drop Circle Nestabilities die. Turquoise Baby Bling was added to the Tear drop circle.

A 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Holly Jolly paper was adhered stitched to a 4 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ Holly Jolly paper piece. A small strip of white cardstock was adhered to the top of the paper layers and brown May Arts Organdy Ribbon was tied around the horizontal layer. The bow was topped with a button, tied on with Linen Thread. The layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock, folded in half. The bottom two corners were rounded.

A sentiment from Snow Angel was stamped on a piece of Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with the smallest Petite Oval Nestabilities die. The center of the oval was colored with Copic Markers R000 and R00.

Here is another card I created it for one of the VSN challenges last week. I made with a newly released Wee Stamps called A Letter to me.

The image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock. It was colored with Copic Markers ( (Jammies: G000, G00, G02, C00, N0, N1 Kitty: C00, N0, N1, R20, R21 Puppy: E55, E57, E59, E40, E42 Letter, Envelope: E40, E41, E42 Skin: E50, E51, E53 Hair: E99, E39, E29   Ground: W3, W5, W7) and cut out and embossed with the Spellbinders Scallop Frame die.

A 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Holly Jolly Christmas Echo Park was adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. The paper was stitched to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Canyon Brown Cardstock . White Organdy Ribbon was tied around the horizontal paper and a pink button was tied on with brown waxed Linen.

The image was adhered over the layers with dimensionals and all layers were adhered to a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Canyon Brown cardstock, folded in half (so you don’t see the stitching and the ribbon on the inside of the card).

A little while ago Libby Hickson asked me if I was interested in being a guest designer for Hambo Stamps. I had met Tim and Monica at a Copic Certification last year and of course was excited and honored to say yes!

For my sample I picked the digital image Silly birds of Hats. I printed it out on and cut it with a Neenah Solar White cardstock Classic Circle Nestabilities die. The image was colored with Copic Markers (sorry, I colored it during vacation and I can’t find the piece of scrap paper I wrote down the color codes).  The circle was then adhered to a piece of black cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Eyelet Circle Nestabilities.

A 2″ x 5″ strip of Echo Park Summer Days paper was adhered to a 4 1/2″ x 5″ piece of a different paper pattern of the same line. The layers were stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of black cardstock. Turquoise ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 5″ x 11″ piece of More Mustard cardstock, folded in half.

A another pattern from the same pack was cut and embossed with a smaller circle Nestabilities die and adhere to the upper right corner of the card base. A swirl was created out of Silver Kaisercraft Rhinestones on the upper left side before the image layers were adhered to the center with dimensionals.

The sentiment is also from Hambo Stamps. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Solar White cardstock before it was cut and embossed with Petite oval Nestabilities and adhered to the lower left hand side.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Nov 102010

Welcome to the 10th week of JustRite Stampers’  Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops!  Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving we have been showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps!  Don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too — you can find them HERE.

For today’s blog hop I created a circular tag with JustRiteStampers Vintage Christmas set. I stamped the darling snowman in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with Copic Markers (snowman:  B0000, B000 Hat, nose and buttons: N3, N5, N7, N9, Cheeks: E000, E00, Scarf: BG93, BG96, BG99). The image was cut and embossed with Classic Circle Nestabilities, airbrushed with Copic Marker E40 and layered on a piece of Early Espresso Cardstock cut and embossed with Eyelet Circle Nestabilities. Glossy Accents was added over the snow on the snowman’s hat and snowflake. Fine Glitter was sprinkled over it.

The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers Christmas Nested Sentiments. It was stamped on a strip of X-Press It blending card. The cardstock was bend in shape of a waving banner and attached to the main image by adhering it to a Tim Holtz Philosophy Tag with Glossy Accents.

The box base is a 8 ¼” square of Early Espresso cardstock. It was scored at 2 ¾” and 5 ½” on each side. The corner square were scored diagonally and folded in. The folded corners were layered with white cardstock triangles that were cut by cutting  a 2 3/8” square in half. That square had been topped with a triangle cut out of a 2 1/8” square of Echo Park Wintertime. The layers were stitched together before they were adhered to the box with Scor-Tape. For the full squares,  2 ¼” pieces of Echo Park Winterland patterned paper were stitched to a 2 ½” square of white cardstock.

Organdy Ribbon was threaded through silver eyelets, was tied into a bow and topped with a navy button.
