My Wil-Wheat-On Card

Okay, so it really should be called a "will-put-wheat-on-my" card...but I like the Star Trek reference better ;-) Honestly, I thought I already posted this card, but apparently not. I've had too many days either in pain or in la-la land on Motrin, so I really need to hit someone up in the Harry Potter kingdom for a Remembrall. Anyway, I was trying to play along with the Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fest, and have since fallen quite behind, but this was my card from one of the challenges on Day 1 (that was way back on October 9th).

The challenge was to incorporate wheat into your card. I didn't have any wheat images, but I did notice that one of the pine bough images from the Christmas Pines stamp set reminded me of wheat. So, I stamped it out and fussy cut (or as it's known in my house, fu@*y cut) the center piece from the bough, stripping some of the "needles" off each side near the bottom, to give me a stem for each piece. It was either a labor of love, or a labor of lunacy, the jury is still out on that one ;-)

Stampin' Supplies: Christmas Pines stamp set, Grateful Bunch stamp set (saying), Crumb Cake card stock, Very Vanilla card stock, Soft Suede card stock and ink, Delightful Dijon ink, Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper, Seaside Embossing Folder (used with Big Shot), Copper Metallic Thread, Basic Pearls (colored with Bronze Sharpie to look copper).

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Colour Challenge

This is the second month of a BRAND NEW blog hop, and you'll get to meet more stampers from all over the world in this round! My name is Kimberley and I am in the United States, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This month we get to share a Colour/Color Challenge ;-) We can use any or all of these colors, along with Basic Black, Whisper White and/or Very Vanilla.

I decided to use all of the colors, on a Very Vanilla base, to create my own background paper for something called a One Sheet Wonder. This is the 8-1/2" x 11" sheet I used to create my patterned paper using the Foxy Friends stamp set:

Then I cut this sheet according to the directions in my One Sheet Wonder Cutting Template & Card Pattern PDF, and laid them out onto 10 card bases. I decided to use Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon for the bases, so I could stamp greetings on them using the Basic Black Archival ink pad. For the greetings, I used only the Tin of Cards stamp set. I might spruce up these cards later with bits of bling here and there, but for now I wanted to keep them simple to show how quickly you can create a handful of cards.

I *never* would have put all these colors together on my own, so this really was a challenge for me. I think this set of cards certainly gives you a good idea of the versatility of the Foxy Friends stamp set. I might have to make another patterned sheet using the fox only with Cucumber Crush and Real Red for some super adorable Christmas cards!

October Step It Up Blog Hop - Spooky Little Treats

Welcome to the October 2016 Edition of the We Create Bloggers Step It Up Blog Hop! The theme is to inspire stampers with a basic design, and at least one alternate "stepped up" version of that same design. This month I created a basic design with the Spooky Fun stamp set to hold Halloween treats, trying to keep it simple. Check out my basic design below, along with a side view. There are 2 snack size Heath bars in the wrap on the left, and 2 Hershey Nuggets in the little wrap on the right.

Stampin' Supplies: Spooky Fun stamp set, Pumpkin Pie Card Stock, Basic Gray Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad (stamped off once for the lighter images), Very Vanilla Thick Baker's Twine, 1/8" Circle/Hole Punch, Decorative Label Punch.

My stepped up version is a little treat box that can hold either 1 snack size Hershey or Heath bar, OR 3 Hershey Nuggets. This design features Designer Series Paper, because there is a Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper Sale going on during the month of October for select packages in My Online Store! Designer Series Paper adds a quick burst of color without much work on your part...it takes pretty much any project from Cute, to Super Cute, in a flash ;-)

You might notice that on my stepped up project I used Peekaboo Peach card stock instead of Pumpkin Pie. I thought the Peekaboo Peach coordinated well with the piece of Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper that I used around the box, and gave it a brighter look. The little tag on the candy bar is just the Decorative Label Punch, punched out of an already punched piece to make it shorter. I'll do a video to show this project some time after my October 1st World Card Making Day Event :-D

Stampin' Supplies: Spooky Fun stamp set, Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper, Peekaboo Peach Card Stock, Basic Gray Card Stock, Pumpkin Pie ink pad (for the moon), Basic Gray Archival Pad (for the witch), Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad (stamped off once for the lighter images), Decorative Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones (colored with black Sharpie), 3/4" Circle Punch (for the thumb cutout on the box lid).

By the way, the Spooky Fun stamp set also comes in a BUNDLE, with some amazingly darling Halloween Scenes Edgelits, with dies to cut out the witch, gravestones, pumpkins, and the big bat...and Edgelits, to cut out a fence, and a gnarly, spooky tree!
