Warm winter wishes with Snowbody Better

 Here it is Saturday already!  I have another project for you today I made during my weekly Tuesday night live over on Facebook.  I would love it if you followed me there.  I usually make two projects every Tuesday evening live at 7:45 pm PDT.  You can always watch the replay over on my YouTube page at Teresa Harper kntdesignsbyTeresa.  

I started this project by stamping and coloring the snowman image in Momento Tuxedo black ink as I colored with Stampin’ Blends markers which are alcohol based.  I then fussy cut out the image with my paper snips.  I die cut a piece of basic white cardstock using the second largest Scalloped Contour die.  To this I stamped the snowflake image from Welcoming Woods stamp set in Versamark ink randomly on the top 2/3 of the die cut, added white embossing powder and heat set the powder.  Next, I used a blending brush and Misty Moonlight ink to add a little color to the “sky”.  I then began building my card layers.  To the Night of Navy cardbase, I added a piece of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, then added my scalloped die cut.  The snowmen were then added to the scalloped die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give added depth.  The sentiment piece is stamped in Night of Navy ink on Misty Moonlight cardstock, then clear embossing powder was immediately added and heat set.  It must be done very fast as our classic ink dries quickly so you need to have all your supplies open and ready to go.). The sentiment was then cut out with a die from Beautiful Trees dies.  Finally, I added some white gems from Elegent Gems.   

Supplies used:

Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4”

Night of Navy cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2”

Basic White Cardstock, half sheet for stamping and die cutting 

Misty Moonlight cardstock scrap for sentiment

Easy Frightfully Cute Halloween treat bags

 It’s almost the end of October already can you believe it?  My how time seems to have flown by.  With that, it’s time to get busy and get the Halloween treat bags ready.  If you’re running out of time, these treat bags are fast and easy!  I made 48 treat bags for my grandkids’ classrooms in about two hours from design to completion.  They also require very little supplies.  I picked up the printed treat bags at Dollar Tree, but you could use plain ones.  These treat bags are 3.8 inches wide and have a ziplock type closure.  They came 30 to a package.

I started with a 12x 12” sheet of Basic White cardstock.  I scored it at 2, 6 and 10”, then cut into 4” squares.  You can get nine from one sheet of cardstock.  Next I grabbed my Stamperatus stamping tool and placed the moon image from Frightfully Cute on the bottom left of the 4” square below the score line.  I then picked the stamp up with the cover plate, inked in So Saffron and pressed the cover/stamp down on the cardstock.  I repeated with each square.  Next I flipped the cover plate over, placed the witch stamp on top of the moon, placed my sentiment to the right and picked those stamps up with the cover plate.  I then inked both stamps in Momento Tuxedo black ink and stamped onto the cardstock.  Repeating with a second inking when necessary.  I repeated this process for all 48 squares.  I was completely finished with the cutting and stamping in just under an hour and a half!  All that was left was to fold and burnish on the score lines.  I stacked them on top of each other as I folded each one, standing them up like a tent to save room on my desk.  Finally, each treat bag was filled, then the topper stapled to the bag.  

Supplies used:

12 x 12 Basic White cardstock

So Saffron ink pad

Momento Tuxedo Black ink pad 

Frightfully Cute stamp set

Welcoming Woods Snowbuddy Better

 Happy Wednesday everyone!  Hope your week is going well.  Today I have a card featuring Snowbuddy Better and Welcoming Woods by Stampin’ Up!  I hope you love this card as much as I do.  I’m a sucker a stamp set with snowflakes and/or snowmen, so it’s no surprise this stamp set made it into my collection.  When I purchased the Welcoming Woods stamp set, I had this idea in my head.  

I first stamped and colored the snowmen, then masked the snowmen and stamped the birch trees from Welcoming Woods over the top.  Leaving the mask in place, I then used blending brushes and added ink in Bumblebee, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight to get the colored sky.  After the ink was fully dry, I stamped the snowflakes in Versamark ink, then added white embossing powder and set with my heat tool.  I also stamped my sentiment on a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock in Versamark, added white embossing powder and heat set.  I then cut it out with one of the smaller frames from Ornate Frames dies.

Supplies used:

Mint Macaron card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4”

Misty Moonlight cardstock layer 4 x 5 1/4” and scrap for sentiment

Focal layer Basic White 3 3/4 x 5”

Flowers for Every Season ribbon pack

White embossing powder from the Basics package of three

Versamark ink pad

Basic Grey ink pad

Stampin’Blends in Mint Macaron, Polished Pink, Mossy Meadow, Misty Moonlight Flirty Flamingo, light Grey Granite and light Balmy Blue.

Ink pads in Polished Pink, Basic Grey, Bumblebee, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight

Blending Brushes

Ornate Frames to cut out the sentiment.
