CASED Card

Hi!

Today's card was made way back when Sale-A-Bration was going strong.  I CASED it from the very talented Judy May, who I was finally able to meet in person at Convention recently.

I loved Judy's card so much I CASED it almost exactly!  It was my first go using the Silver Brushed Metallic Cardstock, which is just gorgeous.

It's such a fantastic design for a boy's card.  Judy is a very talented and inspiring card maker.

Stamps: Punch Bunch (2011 SAB), Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel
Ink: Real Red
DSP/Cardstock: Celebration DSP, Sliver Brushed Metallic, Real Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White
Other: Big Shot, Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Silver Brads, Paper Snips, Scallop Square Punch, Dimensionals

Punch Bunch Birthday

Hi!

Today's card is a birthday card for a very special boy who turned 3 recently.  Liam's favourite colour is Murray red (from the Wiggles), so I just had to make red the feature colour of the card!

I used Platinum Shimmer paint to paint the chipboard 3.  It dries so quickly that's it's wonderful for cards you need to whip up in a hurry (yes - I will admit I made this card on the morning of the party)!

Stamps: Punch Bunch

Ink: Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz

DSP/Cardstock: Celebrations DSP, Whisper White, Pacific Point, Real Red

Other: Two Step Bird XL Punch, Two Step Owl XL Punch, Scallop Square XL Punch, Platinum Shimmer Paint, Chipboard number

Happy Birthday Liam!

Catch you later,

Tina

Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Hi!

Welcome to another inspirational blog hop.  Some very talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have put together a bunch of wonderful projects to inspire you to stamp, stamp, stamp! (As if you needed an excuse!)  There are 11 beautiful projects for you to feast your eyes on as you hop your way around the circle.  Di Dunk owns the blog before mine in the hop - her creations are always amazing!

My project uses a stamp from the Punch Bunch set.  Totally loving the way every image matches a punch as it makes cutting out a breeze!  Anyway, here's my creation.

I decided to go 3D for this hop so I made a cute little purse using the For You stamp as a tag on the front.  Isn't the Sweet and Sour Speciality DSP wonderful?  It is a heavier weight than our regular DSP so it is perfect for 3D projects, and the gloss on some of the patterns is gorgeous.

I also decided to make a little set of 5 cards to match the purse.  They all use the same stamp and DSP and are sized at 3 1/2" square to fit inside the purse.  I also made envelopes but forgot to photograph them.  Oops!

Here's a closer look at one of the cards.  A simple design - I just stamped the image in Pumpkin Pie and again in Rose Red and then punched them with the Scallop Circle or 1 1/4" Circle punches to give a two colour image. A dimensional between the two layers for a bit of pop, a piece of ribbon and it's done! The tag on the purse was made the same way.

Stamps: Punch Bunch
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red
DSP/Cardstock: Sweet and Sour Speciality DSP, Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red
Other: Pumpkin Pie 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Pumpkin Pie 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Very Vanilla 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle XL Punch, 1 1/4" Circle L Punch, Crop-A-Dile, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Beige Embroidery Cotton

Now you're off to see what wonderful creation the lovely Kathryn Mangelsdorf has for you.  I'm sure you'll be inspired!

Catch you later,

Punch Bunch For You

Hi!

As promised, I'm back with another Sale-A-Bration card.  This one uses a stamp from the Punch Bunch set.  I love the way all the images in this set coordinate with Stampin' Up! Punches - makes cutting them out a breeze!

I stamped the image twice - once in Chocolate Chip and again in Baja Breeze.  I punched the Baja Breeze image using the 1 1/4" Circle punch and layered it over the Choc Chip image with a dimensional.

Nice and easy!

Stamps: Punch Bunch
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
DSP/Cardstock: Elegant Soiree DSP, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
Other: Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle XL Punch, 1 1/4" Circle L Punch

Don't forget to pop back on Saturday for the Sale-A-Bration blog hop.
