Blogger's Challenge

This weeks challenge was to use one stamp in different ways. Ya know, to show the versatility of the stamp. So of course I pulled out my Big on Christmas stamp set to make a Christmas card. This is the same stamp I have used twice before to create birthday cards. Those cards are also added to this post with links to the details. I hope you enjoy.



This is the first time I have used this set the way it was intended to be used. Here is the front and then next picture is open.




The base of the card is Certainly Celery. I folded it in half and then cut off a 1 inch strip on the bottom front with a scallop blade. I added a 1 and 1/4 inch strip of designer paper from the Wintergreen collection on the inside bottom. The main image is stamped on Whisper White and layered on Real Red. I colored the letters in with marker and the re-stamped the tree and cut that out to pop it up. The tree is also colored with markers and I added a highlight to the word holiday with the marker too. I used a red gel pen to add dots around the focal image and around the scallop edge. Before attaching my focal image to the card I stamped a row of ornaments from the retired Ornamassortment Set. The branches are from the retired Holiday Hedgehogs set. I think it turned out kinda cute although I like the birthday cards better! See below.




Details for this card can be found here.

Double Resist Snow Flurry

This is one of my favorite techniques although I don't use it often. First I wheeled the Snow wheel across a piece of Whisper White card stock using VersaMark ink. I then embossed it with white embossing powder. Next I randomly stamped the snowflakes from Snow Burst in VersaMark over and around the already embossed area. I let the VersaMark set for a moment (do not emboss) and then brayered over the whole piece with Blue Bayou ink. The results are two different layers of resist. The embossed area will completely resist the ink and the VersaMark will only lightly accept the ink. It is very pretty in person. I love this look with leaves too! To finish my card I attached the finished layer to a strip of Soft Sky and the onto another piece of Whisper White that has the Whimsy jumbo wheel rolled on it in Soft Sky and the the smaller snowflake form Snow Burst stamped in Blue Bayou. This whole thing is attached to a base of Blue Bayou that has the front bottom scalloped with the small corner rounded, pierced with the paper piercier, and little dots with my gel pen. Finally I stamped the Happy Holidays from Riveting and punch out the center. Layered it on a piece of Whisper White and stamped the small snowflake inside. This whole piece was then punched out and layered on the designer label punch! Hope you enjoyed. This was the technique at our last technique class and everyone said they loved it. We also did a leaf card and 6 x 6 page for our books.

VERY late Blogger's Challenge

OK, so I could not find my cord to charge my camera so I did not post this on time. I did get it done on time though, if that counts for anything. This week's challenge was another inspiration challenge. I must admit mine is a bit more than an inspiration, it is more like a CASE. This card was so stunning and simple that I had to recreate it. I did not have the set she used, or the colors or the ribbon so it is not as nice as her's but I still love it. You can see the original here.

My card uses Ballet Blue, Night of Navy and Whisper White. Stamp sets used are Sincere Salutations, Snow Burst and Season of Joy.

The winner is.......................................................
