More Christmas Cards - Snowman!

I have a NEW technique on today's cards.  I made each of the backgrounds from watercolor paper!
 Notice each one is different on the melting snowman.  My niece sent this card many years ago as a Christmas card with the melted snowman, and I LOVED it!!  I've made many since then. (Thanks, Alex!)
 I ordered something called Color Burst.  It's a product from Ken Oliver.  I saw a super, SUPER cool idea using it and had to try it.  Each design comes up different every time. 
 I also ran the watercolor paper through my die cutter with no dies after it dried to flatten it out and thin it so it wasn't so bulky on the card. I LOVE how these designs turned out!  It's the coolest technique!
HERE is a link to the first YouTube video I watched showing these amazing Color Burst paint pigments.

Aunt's Birthday Card

I've posted cards made with this stamp and die cut set before.  I think this one has to be my favorite!  It's very possible that practice makes progress in this case. 

 I used thick white cardstock to die cut the oval piece.  It gives it more stability than regular white cardstock.
 This design gives lots of space on the back to add dimensionals to pop the design off the embossed design on the card base.
I used Stampin' Up ink colors:  Pool party and Daffodil Delight.  I used Stampin' Up! Watercolor pencils Bermuda Bay, and cardstock colors Pool Party, and Melon Mambo.  I also used two of my alcohol markers from Spectrum Noir to color in the balloons.

Wishing my Aunt a VERY Happy Birthday!

New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 18

Here it is... something SUPER cute for my last sample post (for this first set, at least).....

When the boy gets old enough, this will be sent to him as a birthday gift...   I've never met a kid that isn't fascinated with dinosaurs... some more than others, and I've met a LOT of kids after teaching for 28 years.  LOTS of them!

I follow a French lady's blog - Lezards de Cilou.  She does some really amazing work!  AMAZING!  She works in dimension a lot, and I love looking at her samples.

Giving this a second look, I will stamp the dinosaurs closer together next time.
 One lunch time when I was surfing, I came upon this stamp set.  She had them cut in squares... but back in the aeons of time, I bought a die that cuts puzzles. :)
Here it is, broken apart a bit...

Below you'll find all the Stampin' Up materials I used to make this project.

New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 17

Only ONE post for this event after this one....  18 posts in all...   for now. :)
I am going to continue making samples for this event....   tomorrow (June 1st) I can order the new items I'm going to use for my 2 Make-and-Takes... and stamping.

I don't use my Gift Bag Punch board very often, and at the 2nd try, I came up with this.  I used the So Saffron paper from the DSP pack, and matched it with Melon Mambo.  This is a small-sized bag, and you can make them much larger!




This little treat bag uses all the new colors. I used the Playful Palette DSP again for this bag, and the die cuts to construct it.  


If you're interested in 3D projects and gift packaging, contact me, I can help you find your style, and help you customize your packing to your needs.

Here are the materials I used to construct both of these gift packaging solutions.

New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 16

Ok, folks... we're taking a break from cards.
I have some 3D projects to show you...  courtesy of Playful Pals, and Pyramid Pals die set.

The base is actually a square pyramid...  and you definitely want to use the Tear and Tape to put these together!  It's amazingly sticky stuff, but so much easier to work with than the tape with the red plastic!!

An elephant...

A zebra...


and....  What is it?  Anyone?
 Mom immediately knew what it was... and so did my friend.  

It's a One-Eyed, One Horned Flying (do you see the wings on the back) Purple People Eater!!!

Here are the materials I used to make these cuties.

New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 14

A wedding card!
Finally! :)

It's quite difficult to see, but the flowery heart die cut is cut from Dazzling Diamonds specialty paper.  It sparkles like nothing else.



Here you can find a link to purchase the items I used to make this very beautiful wedding card.
