Bookmarks

Door #6 is a variety of puffy embellishments.  I decided to do a fun project with these vs. another card.

Here's what you will need:

Two colors of cardstock--your choice--that will coordinate with the Designer Series Paper you choose to work with.

The base of your bookmark: 1-1/2" X 6"

Designer Series Paper Layer 1-3/8" X 5-7/8"

Top Layer: 1" by 5-3/4"

1. Stamp your top layer.

2. Layer and glue all three pieces together.

3. Punch a hole at the top and add a coordinating ribbon.

That's it!  

So simple!  I made mine in a matter of minutes, maybe 15-20 minutes.  Check out my video to understand what I mean. Be sure to purchase your 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar today and have fun coming up with some fun projects of your own!

Happy Stamping!

Decorative Masks

When opening door #5 from our 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar, a surprise of a set of decorative masks was revealed.  You can watch the video to see how these were used in my demonstration.  I was having technical difficulties and made part two of our project.  

Today, I am not going to tell you how to put your card together.  What I am going to do is give you tips that will help you make the perfect card!

You will find that with a set of masks, there is an order that is provided to put your images together.  You will want to put these in order.  After closely looking at each mask, you will want to choose the colors you wish to use.  Next, you will want to trace around the first mask, or find some way to indicate where your mask is being placed.  Making sure that the notch on each mask is going in the same direction, you will place the next one in the exact spot as your first one.  

You will need to squeeze your ink pads together, pushing the top half of the pad against the bottom half, so when you open it you will find a small pool of ink on the bottom half of your ink case.  This is the spot where you will draw your ink from, to paint with.  Once your first mask is set up you may begin painting!

In review:

• Put your masks in order.
• Choose the colors you will want to use.
• Trace or place tick marks so you can line up each mask correctly.
• Press your ink pads together to form a pool of ink on the inside bottom of your ink pad.
• Put your first mask in place and begin to paint.
• Every time you line up a new mask, be sure the notches go in the same direction.

Basic tools that you will need for this project are:

• Base Card:  Color of your choice 8-1/2" by 5-1/2"
• Layer of Designer Series Paper:  5-1/4" X 4"
• Basic White Cardstock, any size you choose to make your image for your card.
• Choose any embellishments that you think will work best with your card.
• Bone Folder
• Stampin' Seal
• Paper Trimmer

A Christmas Birthday

Hello Friends!  As I finish up remodeling my craft room, I continue to put together cards and projects through my Simple Sunday videos.  This week I am making a Christmas Birthday card -- an alternative to the cards found in the October Paper Pumpkin Kit.  It is a very simple option and a nice card to share with someone you know has a birthday in December.  Check out my video to see what it's all about.

All the materials you need are supplies from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Cozy Christmas, and the gift provided in door #4 from our 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar.

I basically took a different card base and a layer piece.  Dressed up one of the punch-outs a bit differently and added a label from our Advent calendar.  Very simple, but very nice.

If you don't have the October Paper Pumkin Kit, you can do the same type of thing with any of the kits you may have purchased from Stampin' Up!  Let your creative juices go and have fun with it!  Join me next Sunday, November 9th to see what we did with the gift provided in door #5 and what prize is found behind door #6!

Happy Crafting!

Pecan Pie Classic Stampin' Pad [161665]

 Hello Crafters!  I don't know about you, but I love this 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar!  We are going through this one week at a time, which will lead us right up to Christmas!  Don't be confused, this isn't a Christmas advent calendar.  It is a crafting advent calendar.  

Last week, we revealed what was behind door #3--embellishments that can be used to adhere to a card, but they make great shaker cards!  I combined this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Cozy Christmas, with our embellishments to create this week's card.  The Paper Pumpkin Kit provides all that you will need for three different designs to make a total of nine cards.  I decided to create an alternative card to this kit by making my shaker card.

These are the products used for this weeks' demonstration:

Side Note:  If you have already subscribed to Paper Pumpkin, you can purchase the refill kit.  If you haven't subscribed, this kit, and  the refills will not be available to you.  Even so, you will be able to create similar shaker cards using the many kits that Stampin' Up! provides or create your own!

PAPER

• October Paper Pumpkin Kit -- Cozy Christmas
• Window Sheets

INK

• Versamark Ink Pad
• Pecan Pie (provided in the kit)

ADHESIVES

• Multipurpose Liquid Glue
• Foam Adhesive Strips
• Wow! Metallic Gold Embossing Powder

TOOLS

• Paper Snips
• Take Your Pick Tool
• Take Your Pick Crafter Tips
• Embossing Additions
• Paper Trimmer

The first thing I did was take the basic card and the layer piece that go together in the kit.  Then, I placed the delicate ornament punch out on the layer piece, using just a little bit of washi tape to hold it in place.  I then traced around the ornament with a pencil and, using my paper snips, cut the outline out.

I then took a window sheet 3-3/4 by 3-1/4 and adhered the delicate ornament punch-out to the window sheet using the multipurpose liquid glue -- just dotting around the image.  It will adhere nicely to the window sheet.

I took the inside ornament punch out and glued that to the base card, making sure it is in the correct place to match up with my window sheet.  

I used the Foam Adhesive Strips to place around the backside of the layered piece, placing one strip to go across the top, a strip on both sides, a middle strip to place at the top of the window sheet, and then I had a strip ready to adhere when I completed adding the embellishments. The foam all around the window sheet will keep the embellishments from falling out.  If you have any beaded embellishments, you can add a few of those to help the movement of all the embellishments.  After adding the embellishments, I sealed the bottom with my last strip of the foam strips.

Next, I added the hanger image that you punch out, my sentiment, and some embellishments that were included in the kit.

I chose to emboss my sentiment with the Gold Embossing Powder, although the Pecan Pie Ink Pad provided in the kit is sufficient.
