Stampin' Up Workshop

Today we attended a SU workshop with one of the local demonstrators. We got to do 3 projects although technically were 5 projects.

The first project was a New Year's card, holiday card, with cheers to the year set stamped with basic gray ink, the snowflake was punched out of the 1-1/2" circle punch and mounted on foam, year of cheer specialty DSP pack and gold foil flake

for the second project, we did a 3D project using the mini pizza box, again one of the gold foil flakes, the same year of cheer specialty DSP pack but a different paper, everyday label punch, 1-1/2" circle punch...the circle was mounted flat on the label but the label was mounted on foam; the stamping was done with elegant eggplant, there was not set box and forgot to ask from which set they joy and snowflake it belong to and I already looked twice on both catalogs and couldn't find it, I know it's biting me on the nose LOL just can't see them

And the last project, actually were 3 tags made with merry little labels set and everyday label punch. We used chocolate chip, smokey slate and old olive ink. For the first one real red solid ribbon and enamel shape heart, for the second whisper white sheer ribbon and instead of glitter I added Wink of Stella and for the last one, quilted Christmas ribbon and enamel shape as the berry. I believe the enamel shapes were the brights as to me they look real red 😊

You're my cup of tea

It's been pretty cold out so a cup of tea or coffee sounds good all the time 😊 I used morning kick start stamp by Stampabilities with tuxedo black and Copic markers, a little bit of Prismacolor pencils on the mouse;  I fuzzy cut the image and mounted it on foam, to break the paper and cover edge of the paper doily I used Offray ribbon, the message is from Stampa Rosa with rich cocoa ink

Shoebox Thursday by Kathy

For today's shoebox project Kathy had for us a shiny thank you card just perfect for this time of year. No stamping involve. We used a folder by SU, thank you die by Ellentina, silver delight sheer ribbon by Morex Corp and Wink of Stella

A quick male card. I used pocket watches folder by Sizzix, the image is life’s possibilities by Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection from Stampers Anonymous with Adirondack die ink slate, happy birthday bold stamp is by A Muse stamps with tuxedo black

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox project I made a pretty easy card, well simple not easy :0)

I used a die I bought long time ago, Merry tree by Impression Obsession that I have never used, guess like most of you, saw a card that like and found the die so I bought it but then for one thing or another never got around to actually make the card or any card with it but finally I did! not the card I originally saw as I never saved the picture or pinned it!! Anyway this is what I made with the die, thought the die would be a little easier to use not that it wasn't just that it was not a one piece so you have to align the pieces, it has 3 pieces and for someone like me have to make sure it matched perfectly but at the same time, this die that has the flexibility that can be used apart without any problem 😊 I added red pearls from my stash and wasn't sure which I like, played around and let them applied the pearls as they wished :0)

Dia de las Guadalupes

Tomorrow is Día de las Guadalupes a big holiday in Mexico and since my mom is named after her as well a few other people I know I send them a special card for their "Santo". A few years ago I found a stamp at Michaels with the image of the Virgen de Guadalupe, the stamp is by Recollections so I had used it since but probably I won't use it for a couple years so they don't get tired of it specially since it's way too detailed to color so I have been using it like this or something similar LOL anyway it will be use again but thought it would be nice to send them cards with it since that was why they were celebrated.

This year it was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with fine line gold embossing powder and die cut with Spellbinders petite oval dies, I ran Y28 Copic Marker on the edge of the oval just to give a little color so it wasn't totally white since I used the largest of the ovals so couldn't cut a larger oval, well at the time wasn't thinking to use my Brother Scan N Cut duh! oh well next time LOL
