Sunday Tip or Technique

One of the TT was making a kite card and since I love fun folds had to try it used paper from my stash as well as ribbons, the message is by The Stamps of Life and with the thought of the washi punch I grab my fancy scissor from Fiskars from hundred years ago and cut my pieces

Annivesary

I have been making anniversary cards as I ran out and seems lot of people in my mailing list got married from August to November :0) anyway made this very clean monochromatic simple card using the indescribable gift set, I know guys don't really care for pink but I had that paper on my desk so the laziness in me just grab what was easy to grab :0) the message is by Stamp-A-Mania

Sunday Tip or Technique

One of the TT's was using all the stamps of a set or multiple stamps as a background. The tutorial was by Stampendous and it was using their photopolymer butterfly set. I didn't have a set in polymer that I could use so I use rubber it work fine except that there is more rubber around the image as there is polymer so you have a bigger gap in between images. Since I did this card I bought a butterfly set in polymer didn't find the one from Stampendous but it's just as nice :0)

These is how your block would look like (I made mine in my homemade misti tool so had more room for stamps than a block)

And this was my end result. You can ink in one color or multiple colors I wanted a more monochromatic look

Paper Pumpkin

Finally got to play with July's paper pumpkin it was one of my least favorite kits, the note card and busy DSP just didn't do anything to get my imagination going, since obviously I had already wasted my money had to do something :0)

These are the 4 designs I came up with and I was able to make 3 of each. All background papers were from my stash, the paper doilies are SU, and everything else was from the kit, they were all 4x4 notecards

On this one I also used SU's washi tape color me autumn

On this one I stamped the background with a Rubbernecker stamp

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox I wanted to show my friends the slider cards. Frenchie had an online class a couple months ago and it included this technique. I made 3 different sliders but the same card

They all have the same stamps and all...the background stamp is Everything Eleanor by SU as well as the butterflies dies, the message is by The Stamp Doctor and I did the banner with fancy Fiskar scissors.

For this one I use Spellbinders & Lifestyle Crafts circle dies to get the opening I wanted.

For this one I use SU's word window punch...I punch the piece then I went back moving the punch down about 1/16"

For this one I just cut my opening with X-acto knife and ruler

and for this one I used a Die-namics die

Paper Pumpkin

These are the last cards. Most supplies were from kit but think these are the ones I added more things

For this one I actually remember I had ribbon on the kit :0) punched out of the boxes with the itty bitty shaped flower punch and itty bitty accent flower punch aligning so the dot was in the centers of the flowers, also decorative label punch and the message is one of my unknown favorite stamps. I used part of the "garbage" again

For this one I embossed the softly falling texture impressions embossing folder, some of the black grass as shutters, cut one of the tags smaller, used some more "garbage" and itty butterfly punch

When checking on Pinterest what people did with this kit I saw that someone use the ugly flower as butterfly so I did the same :0) I embossed the background with happy heart, punched the message with modern label, itty bitty accent heart punch, EK Success heart punch out of the box, and gold twice

and the last one and the least of my favorite but wanted to use the ugly flower as flower as other than the two butterfly cards all I was doing was punching or cutting my optional pieces. 

Folded the flower cattywampus added some of the black grass, sponged some ink and stamped the steams from lotus blossoms stamp set, itty butterfly, and the words are Heartfelt Creations

Paper Pumpkin

Some more cards out of the chalk it up for love paper pumpkin. Used mostly the kit supplies

For this one I used some glitter ribbon from American Crafts and liquid pearls

For this one I added some gold twine and the message is by Penny Black

and for this one also used the same glitter ribbon by American Crafts, itty bitty accents heart punch and again the Penny Black stamp
