Hoo Hoo Hoo Merry Christmas!

 

Hoo Hoo Hoo Merry Christmas!!!

Stamp Sets: Many Merry Messages and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Colors: Whisper white, Cherry Cobbler,Old Olive,sahara sand,naturals white

Accessories: Big Shot,Petals a plenty Embossing Folder,Perfect Details Texturz Plate, white frost shimmer Paint(mixed with rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle),basic black 5/8" satin ribbon,ornament,heart, dotted scallop ribbon border and owl punches, love letters DSP, white gel pen,Stamp-a-ma-jig

This card is a spin off of one of my earliest Santa suits.  I used a basic card size(4-1/4x5-1/2) of cherry cobbler and textured using my big shot,spritzed my cs with shimmer mixture(see above) and the petals a plenty EF.  I love the de-bossed side for Santas suit but you may choose whichever you like;).  I punched out several hearts(6whole)and used my edges to punch out partial hearts-they make up Santas mustache.  Love using every bit of my card stock.  It is a fetish-I just have to find a use for it;).  I punched the owl in sahara sand and his belly is the DSP from love letters. White and black eyes with a fleck of white gel pen-makes them come alive;). I punched an ornament in white and used old olive from the inside of Santas belt to punch out the top of the ornament.  Oh by the way did I tell you what a pain it was to make that belt buckle? -I really do need smaller nesting square punches!  I stamped "merry Christmas" from teeny tiny wishes in cherry cobbler and and the "Ho" 3times from 'Ho'liday in the merry many messages set. I went back using the stamp-a-ma-jig and added my extra 'O' (O for what a pain that was! LOL-I should have just wrote it in but wanted it to be more 'demo-quality' looking;)  I used cherry cobbler marker to add dots on my ornament. oooh what am I forgetting? Belt is a strip of black satin ribbon and trim on suit is a piece of white punched from dotted scallop ribbon punch.  Layer your hearts, I started from the center bottom to give his beard a more fluffy effect and added my owl at the end(just didn't go too crazy with the adhesive on that side of his beard;).  Adhere all other pieces..and hoo hoo you got yourself an owl and santa card;)

This guy was pretty popular in Baltimore-wish I had made like 100 to share with all my fellow demos;)!

Hope I got all my thoughts down?and

Sweet Treats

Sweet Treats Card

Stamp Sets: Make a Monster, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Colors:  Basic black,Concord Crush,Real Red,Old Olive,Peach parfait

Accessories: Spider Web impressions folder, brayer, circle punches,itty bitty punch pack,small oval punch, concord crush 1/2in poly stitched ribbon,crop-a-dile,white gel pen,curvy label punch

This is a card I created for swaps at our Stampin" Up regionals'  in Baltimore,MD.  To start with I brayered basic black ink on my impressions pad(the flat slide).  I cut a piece of Concord Crush card stock(4 1/4x5 1/2),placed it in my foder and ran through my big shot.  What an awesome effect!  I love how the concord pops out from the black.  Pretty cool,huh? Allow time to dry.  In the mean time, I made a punch art spider and bug. For the bug, I first stamped the face from the 'make a monster' set on peach parfait cs. I used my white gel pen to color his eyeballs and teeth.  I then used my 1/2in circle punch,centering over face,and punched out.  I punched a small oval in peach parfait for the bugs body.  I wrapped the bug in concord crush ribbon to resemble a bug caught in the webbing.  For my spider, I stamped the fangs from the make a monster set on black CS and used the crop-a-dile to punch out two eyeballs.  I placed a real red circle under the black3/4in circle to give the appearance of red eyes. I made black circles in the eyes and a small white highlight,also.  For his body, I punched out the 'x-shaped' bitty punch,and also placed a 1in circle behind.  I know black widows have an hour glass design but thought this punch looked cute:)  For his(or her) legs,  I used the curvy label punch and just slid it a small bit each time,cutting out 4 times(to give the appearance of legs).  I stamped the "sweet treats" saying from teeny tiny wishes set on peach parfait and cut out with the word window punch.  I layered the saying on black,concord and olive cs punched with the modern label punch. I adhered all my elements onto the now dry spider web:D  I just thought this would be such a cute idea and I think it came together well.

And using the same technique for the web,  I also created this "Dark and Dreary"card.

Such a cool effect and a "Sweet Treat"!!!

Back to School Gift Idea

This is a little set I made using the "First Day" stamp set which was available in the summer mini, but you could use any set for this!! Imagine the possibilities!  First we have a great easel post-it note holder

which you can use a white gel pen or stamp letters to personalize your gift!

Next we have a corner bookmark, with this adorable bookworm!

of course he is bookmarking one of my many favorite pages in my Stampin' Up catty ;))

And lastly, who doesn't need one of these??? A tissue holder!

Isn't this just too cute?? Imagine these as a great wedding favor??

Well Until Next Thought~Kris

Fifth Avenue Floral Watercolor

Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral

Colors: whisper white,regal rose,daffodil delight

Accessories:  Victoria ribbon, re-inkers, white embossing powder,versamark,heat gun, glossy white CS ,aqua painters and spritz bottle of water

I still cannot get away from this stamp set!  I have to say it is probably one of my all time favorites!  This technique I used was found on you-tube.  It was a little while ago,and I never marked the page(sorry to the creator!)  Using glossy card stock, stamp image in versa mark.  Sprinkle with embossing powder and heat set.  spray your card stock with water bottle, water will pool into areas and that is great-the wetter the easier!  Using your aqua painter, pick up a drop of ink(darker color 1st) from your re-inkers.(i used rose and daffodil) and touch area to be painted.  The water will spread the color for you!-such a cool and beautiful effect!  Apply color until you get desired look.. You can do as light or dark as you like,as well as blend the colors!  Allow paper to dry-this takes a little while!  I used the new Victoria ribbon behind my flower-so beautiful!!!
