For this sweet card you will need:

Crumb Cake card stock (#120953)

Neutrals (Chocolate Chip) Core'dinations card stock (#129956)

Champagne Glimmer Paper (#127885)

Labels Collection Framelits (#125598)

Expressions Thinlits Dies (#132171)

Woodgrain Embossing Folder (#127821)

Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658)

Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)

Paper-Piercing Tool (#126189)

Stampin' Pierce Mat (#126199)

Festive Paper-Piercing Pack (#127857)

SNAIL Adhesive (#104332)

Crystal Effects adhesive (#101055)

Stampin' Sanding System (#129367)

 

The ladies and I enjoyed this card from a recent class.  Taking a cut and folded Crumb Cake card stock, the Labels Collection Framelits, Big Shot and Magnetic Platform.  Leave area on the seam of the card and with the largest of the framelits, cut this card into a fun shape (I think it mimics an acorn - lol).

Using the Chocolate Chip Core'dination card stock and the Labels Collection Framelit that is two sizes smaller.  Cut this same shape so it mimics the card shape. 

 

Core'dination card stock has an inner monochromatic color that comes out when distressed, sanded, textured, embossed.  Here we used the Woodgrain embossing folder across this shaped piece.  Sanding the Top with our Stampin' Sanding System.  It revealed the Crumb Cake center and added a fun, soft texture to the card.

Using the Expressions Thinlits Dies (Thankful), Big Shot and Magnetic Platform this Champagne Glimmer Paper creates a stunning sentiment!  This is super quick.  I use the Paper-Piercing Tool (or my SNIPS) to push the sentiment out.  Adhere with liquid adhesive.  Here the Crystal Effects dries clear and quickly.

I'd been asked to demonstrate the Paper-Piercing.  Our Festive Paper-Piercing Pack has the Labels Collection.  Quickly with the use of our Piercing Mat and Tools you can create a unique and layered accent with these tools.  The Paper-Piercing Guides prevent making too big of a whole also while the Mat protects your table!

Shaped cards are extra special.  They are quick to create and look so great!  Go ahead, have fun creating some shapes!

This is a Neutral, soft, distressed card but the fun Champagne Glimmer 'Thankful' makes it POP!

During the busy season, take a moment to say how you feel (well, not the tired, harried feelings - lol).  I love to send heart-warming cards... this quick one makes it easy to get out during this busy season!!  Create a hand-stamped card (well, this doesn't even have a stamp - lol) and show that you care!  Have fun with the textures and shape of it, too!

Halloween Pumpkin

It has started!  My kiddo's have brought home their first crop of pumpkins... school sent home their first mini-pumpkin of the season, my daughter dropped it as she ran to the car at pick-up.  Assured that yes, yes we cannnn make a pumpkin pie from it (ummm - really, is this possible?!?! eek!).  We came home to create this sweet shaped card that is sure to add flavor to a friend's day.

 

What do you think?  Leave me a comment and let me know.  Share this, Pin, Email, Facebook, Tweet, Google+ this and Follow Me on these channels!  (YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, too!)

Taking a Pumpkin Pie card stock (#105117) scored at 4-1/4" this 5-1/2" wide card is ideal to create a 3D Pumpkin!  Adding fun accents, texture, shine... and this is a card to be savored!

 

Run this through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine* (#113439) with the Woodgrain embossing folder (#127821) to mimic the texture of the pumpkin.  Fold and then using the Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658) and the large scalloped oval from the Ovals collection (#129381) making sure to leave a section on the top that will NOT Be cut - lol.

Running Old Olive card stock (#100702) through the Big Shot and the Autumn Accents Bigz die (#127812) to create these great leaves.  Adding texture with the Woodgrain embossing folder is a fun cohesive look.

 

Using the Chocolate chip Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (#130132) to create this cute Acorn from the Autumn Accent Bigz.  Create the 'stem' from our Decorative Label Punch (#120907) and this paper for two stems from one punch!

(*See how as a Hostess you can get this Big Shot for FREE or 1/2 Off!)

When you have a fun card with texture... sometimes it's a blast to add a dash of shine!  The amazing Gold Foil Sheet (#132622 - Holiday pg 28) is a great accent.  Stamping this Happy Halloween from the Delightful Dozen stamp set (#122652) fits PERFECTLY in the Modern Label Punch (#119849). 

 

In order to make a sentiment stay on this paper, use the yummy scented (reminds me of the fun ditto machines created during test days - lol) Jet Black Stazon ink (#101406).  This permanent solvent ink dries quick and can be stamped on a vast array of surfaces.  From glass to surfaces like this Gold Foil sheet, Stazon is a must for your crafting supply.

I love how it fits in the modern label punch, looks so sharp on the textured card, holding it's own next to this patterned acorn.

I'm so glad you came by today!  I try to post daily and hope to see you visit often.  Please share me with your friends and family!!  I hope this card makes your day tasty!  JOIN ME in my upcoming, on-going, virtural optioned Big Shot Club!  CLICK HERE to see MORE on the FUN you will have!

 

This pumpkin is sure to warm the day of someone special!  Add some texture and joy to a friend's life.  Send a card, it's a sure fire way to bless someone.  This Pumpkin Card is ideal for Fall and nods to Halloween and Harvest.  Bring home this pumpkin, or send it out, with no fear of work in the kitchen or messy, broken pumpkins (lol).

Creamcicle Day!

Sweet and Oh So Yummy... when you find a reason to party, celebrate and dish on sweets... GO FOR ITtttt!!

 

Psssst - I am sooo giving you a reason, right now! 

 It's NATIONAL Creamcicle Day!! 

 

So go run to the corner market, hop on the end of your shopping cart and with one swift push of your foot - ride that bad boy down the frozen food isle... they are still out there - these vintage treats are just waiting for you!! (weeeeeeeee!!)

Creating a fun card to celebrate such an important holiday is fun and pretty easy!!

With so many reasons to celebrate... there are holidays every day of the year... today just happens to be sweet with creamy coolness!

Popsicle sticks cut in 1/2 means that like card stock - two makes one card!  Here Pumpkin Pie card stock (#105117)  cut into a standard card size - then I removed 2" to accommodate the Popsicle stick - so it will STILL fit inside the card!

 

Hot glue is a girls best friend - it's uber strong and clear, subtle and fast!  Here it holds this stick (heavier of an accessory) to this card.

Adding the 'cream' to the inside with the Whisper White card stock (#100730).  With the 1-3/4" Scallop Circle punch (#119854) create a 'bite mark' to the Pumpkin Pie corner.  Make it deeper of a bite so that the 'cream center' peeks through when assembled.

Yummmmm... yes??

Guilt Free.... Awesome-ness!!

 

This vintage treat deserves a vintage sentiment... the Perfectly Penned (#122892) reminds me old 'soda shop' writing.  Stamped with Versa Mark (#102283) and Heat Set White Embossing Powder (#109132) and our Heat Tool (#129053).

 

It's glossy, raised, vintage goodness - and oh-so-easy!

Rounded corners are key to the look of this creamsicle... our 3/16th Corner punch (#119871).

Here my daughter thought this card was sweet - so sweet she couldn't resist modeling for me.  We look forward to our after dinner dessert.  Creamcicles bring me back to summers with my cousin Jeanell as we ran after the ice cream trucks... I'm sure she and I looked just like this once we had our treats!

Life can be stressful or dull... so Sweeten It UP... Find amazing reasons to CELEBRATE!

Happy Watermelon Day to YOU!

Celebrate this sweet treat that refreshes the palate and screams SUMMER!!

HAPPY WATERMELON DAY!!

Using my Garden Green card stock (#102584) to create this fun textured and shaped card!

Our Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and the Ovals Collection Framelits (#129381) lend to this fun scalloped oval card.  (Just make sure that your don't cut off the seam that holds the card together, lol.)

 

Using the Woodgrain embossing folder (#127821) to add that cool look of the pattern on the watermelon.  (Who knew that watermelons cold be so much fun to create?!?!)  Embossing it once it is cut and shaped allows for the texture to be all the way through.. and that is such a fun but subtle addition.

Using my Black Sharpie (or any permanent marker) to color in our adhesive backed Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#119246) for the 'traditional' seeds.

Layered over the Very Vanilla card stock (#101650) the Real Red cardstock (#102482) resembles the inside of the delicious fruit!

(I'd write my greetings then add the 'seeds' where there are openings!

Tie this sweet card up with our vintage, distressed, natural feeling Linen Thread (#104199).  I could soooo see giving this as a gift and the natural feeling thread ties into a farm-fresh feel.

 

Holding down this tied up thread with the sentiment when you use the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive (#104430).  I placed the thread in-between the sentiment and tag and card... this is a discrete way to hold on an accent like this thread.

 

 

Winning this Real Red Goodie Gear Simply Created Kit (#132161) and Oh, Goodie! stamp set (#131889) from the Holiday Catalog (at the Stampin' Up! 25th Anniversary Convention) made me pause.... what to do with this cute kit?!?!! 

 

At my recent class we mulled the sentiments and purpose/use... so pulling this sweet tag out and showing the girls the fun behind these words - and the versatility of use for all year long... I love that it came together with this look! 

 

The Bitty Banners framelits (#129267), Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439) and the new Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658) pop out these cute sentiments!

 

OK so the cute mini wood clip isn't a Stampin' Up! item but I love it and have kept this sweet ladybug clip about.  I think it's just a perfect addition to this project!!

Real Red is a fun note-card to write on and really does look like a sweet melon!  Adding the colored rhinestones for a great look and accessory.

 

Find reasons to celebrate!

Making my family's life festive is fun and a great way to (hopefully) make memories that they can look back on and smile, remembering a good childhood.

Little things, like National Watermelon Day, are easy ways to inspire cards, crafts, gifts, memories...

 

I hope that your day is sweet!
