I really like this simple and yet elegant card for the Christmas Season! Who doesn’t want a card that says someone is thinking of you? It is so touching I think! I love it! 🙂
I started with a Garden Green card base and stamped on a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! I used the Embellished Ornament Stamp Set for the greeting and holly twig! I used a Garden Green and Real Red marker to color in the holly twig and stamped that on either side of the Whisper White. Before attaching it to my card front, I brushed the edges of the cardstock with a Sponge Dauber! For the greeting, I stamped it in Real Red onto Whisper White cardstock and then die cut it with the Tags & Labels Framelits! I brushed the edges of the greeting with a Real Red Sponge Dauber! Then, I cut out another label in the next size up in Silver Foil Paper and layered them together! I added the greeting to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I love this!

I think this little easel is so cute. It’s little and makes me think of a kid’s easel to draw on. I never had one as a child but I thought they were cool! Yesterday I showed you how to create a Room Divider Card and you can check that out here. We are going to use that same concept to create the legs for this easel here!
I started with a Crumb Cake card base which measures 4-1/4″ x 11″. I folded it in half to create the card and then slipped the Decorative Label Punch up half way along the bottom. You can punch both layers of the cardstock as the same time! This creates the decorative feet of the easel. Then I slide the front of the card into the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. That is your easel and now you can decorate it! I used a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 3-1/4″ x 4″. The greeting is from the Friendly Wishes Stamp Set and I heat embossed it in White! To add a pop of color, I just colored on top of the embossed image with a Sharpie Marker. I added this to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I punched out the flowers with the Petite Petals Punch and Itty Bitty Accents Punch! I added a few Rhinestones to each of the flowers for a little bling! I got the inspiration for this card from fellow stamper, Mary Ellen Stites! I love it!!! It would make a great kid’s card but also any other occasion as well!
You can check out the Video Tutorial here! Also, let me know in the comments below if you have started using more Stampin’ Dimensionals since following me. 🙂 You are welcome! I just love them!
Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means!!!! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today and it uses my favorite punch – the Decorative Label Punch!!! Check this out!!!
Isn’t this adorable?!?! You could create it for any occasion by switching up the images – baby, wedding, moving, just because, get well, and more! I always think cute standing cards like these would be great for a get well or thinking of you because they can be displayed oh so nicely.
There are not very many supplies which is fabulous and it still fits into a regular Medium Envelope! You will need a piece of cardstock (your base) measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ and you will fold it in half like a a regular card. Then you will fold the end up to the that center fold for both sides, so folding the front up and the back one back. I hope that makes sense. Use a Bone Folder for those nice strong creases! This creates the folds so your card stands up. Now with 2 of the layers of cardstock folded, slide the Decorative Label Punch up half way and punch! Do this so that there is a punch out of all 4 pieces. This created those decorative feet on the bottom of your room divider. Now it is time to decorate. The Basic Black cardstock measures 3″ x 2-1/4″ and the Very Vanilla measures 2-3/4″ x 2″. I decorated the Very Vanilla with the Flowering Flourishes Stamp Set in Mint Macaron and then added some butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set. I stamped the butterflies in Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder and punched them out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch! I added the butterflies with some Stampin’ Dimensionals! Love it!!!!

I have had lots of fun with the Berry Merry Stamp Set. I love the big greetings and then all of the little decorations that you can use around it! Flowers, snowflakes, bows and more are just so fabulous to create a masterpiece! This card is very basic. I used a Whisper White card base and stamped the Season’s Greetings image in Tip Top Taupe! I love the greeting all by it’s self but I added a little foo foo around it to dress it up! I stamped the poinsettia flower in Real Red and the leaves in Cucumber Crush. The little snowflakes were stamped in Pool Party and then I finished it off with a few Pearls!
I love to create cards with layers and ribbons and loads of craziness but sometimes a simple one layer card like this is just as stunning! Which do you prefer – lots of layers and goodies OR simple and basic??? Let me know in the comments below!
Happy Friday everyone!!! It has been a fabulous week for sure! I so love what I do and I love it even more when I can share it with others! The week started out on Sunday stamping Christmas Cards with my Mom! I really enjoy sharing that special time with her and working on cards together. For the most part, she would rather just buy some cards I have already made so these times are really special.
I had my Monthly Stamp Class at the Retirement Village in town here on Monday and a Holiday Card Class at the Library on Tuesday! Some of these people have stamped before and enjoy it so much they can’t get enough. I love that but even more I love those first time stampers who are so excited that they actually made a card! That smile and excitement when the ink hits the paper is just amazing! <3 I love every minute of it!
I had my Tempting Techniques Stamp Camp on Thursday morning and evening and tomorrow I will be doing a Craft Fair! My heart just might burst with love and excitement! I truly love what I do and you all make me love it so much more!
Of course it isn’t a Friday without the Weekly Deals and because it is Friday, the 13th and you have all made my week I am offering DOUBLE Laura’s Loyal Stampers Points this weekend (Friday – Sunday). So when you place an order (click here to shop) online, you can take advantage of the fabulous deals as well as earn Free Stuff!!!! Woot Woot!!!

Isn’t this card just fabulous??? That subtle bling is just perfect! It isn’t too much and you don’t have to worry about creating a huge glittery mess when you create this card! I used Dazzling Details, a Sponge Dauber and a Mask! How amazing!?!?!
I started with a Whisper White card base! I took a piece of Real Red measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and placed the Dots Decorative Mask over top of it! Then I squeezed some Dazzling Details into a old embellishment container (or any plastic surface) and using a Sponge Dauber, I pounced over the polka dots. You don’t want to add lots of glitter because it will take forever to dry and will bleed under the mask a little. Once you have filled all of the polka dots, pull off the mask and set it aside to dry. You can always use your Heat Tool to speed up the process a little!
Once it was dried, I added it to the card front. For the greeting, I used the Berry Merry Stamp Set and die cut it with the Lots of Labels Framelits! Super cute and fabulous for the Holiday Season!!!
This card I am in LOVE with and it was sort of a mistake. After playing with the glitter, I thought what about adding some Re-Inker to it for some color. I dripped 1 (ONE) drop of Night of Navy in there and HELLO COLOR! I was really surprised at how dark it was. I started playing the stripes on some Whisper White scrap paper. Slowly I was running out of glitter so I added some more Dazzling Details and of course this only lightened the blue more. As I went along I noticed this fabulous ombre affect happening and I was in love. I will say that when you add the re-inker it gets much runnier so it bleed under the mask and wasn’t as crisp. I still love it!!! I layered this onto some Night of Navy Cardstock and then Marina Mist. I put it all onto a Whisper White card base. For the greeting, I used the Tin of Cards Stamp Set and Decorative Label Punch!
I love the subtle glittery look and I love Dazzling Details in all of the colors – Silver, Gold, Red, and Dazzling! You can check out my Video Tutorial below of by clicking here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!!
Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to those who served and those who are still serving! I recently created some cards for a friend of mine who is the National President of the American Legion Auxiliary! I thought today was the perfect day to share what I created! I made some samples up and asked her which one she liked and she said she liked them all so I created a few of each!!!
This one uses a Whisper White card base and I stamped the stars in the background in Real Red and Night of Navy from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set! Some of the stars were stamped in full strength ink and some were the 2nd time stamping which is why there are a few that are lighter! The greeting is from the One Big Meaning Stamp Set and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch! Of course I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals!
This one uses a Whisper White card base and I stamped the stars from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set in Night of Navy on the corners! The greeting is from the One Big Meaning Stamp Set and I stamped that in Real Red! Quick and simple and no layers but yet still stunning!!
This one uses a Whisper White card base and I stamped the star from the Perfect Pennants Stamp Set in Real Red! I stamped off once on a piece of scrap paper so it wasn\’t so dark and the greeting would show up better. The long swish and the bigger swish are from the Work of Art Stamp Set! I love hoe versatile that set is! The greeting is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set!
This card is on a Whisper White card base and uses all image from the Work of Art Stamp Set! That set is super popular and I know many of you out there have this set! Did you ever think you could come up with a fabulous card like this one?? Well now you can! I love it!! You can see more samples using this set here and here!
Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have some fabulous techniques to share with you! Today I’m sharing more Punch Art using the Owl Builder Punch! I hope you are all enjoying this series! Click to see the September Punch Art and October Punch Art! Now let’s get started on the November Punch Art!
With all of the different holidays coming up, I thought I would share the Turkey, Moose, Reindeer and Lion this month! Lots of animals…..and yet not one owl! 🙂 Let’s get started!
This little turkey was created with the Owl Builder Punch! You need a Soft Suede owl body and breast piece. You will need a Pumpkin Pie lower owl body including the feet. You will need 4 Pumpkin Pie Banners from the Banner Punch! Also, 3 Cajun Craze Banners and 3 Soft Suede Banners. You will need a Real Red heart from the Owl Builder Punch and 2 white circles from the Owl Builder Punch. I brushed the edges of the breast piece with a Soft Suede Sponge Dauber to add a little darker color and dimension. I cut of the Soft Suede feet and adhered the Pumpkin Pie piece to the back allowing those feet to show! Layer the 3 banners together for all of the feathers and adhere those to the back of the owl body. For the eyes, I used a Daffodil Delight Marker to color the bottom half and then a Basic Black Marker to color the dots! I added those to the body with Mini Glue Dots! I used the 4th Pumpkin Pie banner to cut the triangle nose and paired that with the heart for his gobbler!!! He is so cute!!! You could use him on a tag, place setting, treat bag, or card this Thanksgiving!
The little reindeer uses the Owl Builder Punch and Bird Builder Punch! You will need 1 owl body and 2 leaves from the bird punch in Soft Suede. I used Red Glimmer Paper for his nose and punched it out with the small circle in the Owl Builder Punch. I added the nose with Mini Glue Dots and put the leaves on the top of his head! I added googly eyes because I think they are adorable and drew in the mouth with a Basic Black marker! He would be perfect for a tag, treat bag or even on a card!
The moose uses the Owl Builder Punch, Elegant Butterfly Punch and 3/4″ Circle Punch! I used lots of shades of brown to give him some dimension and variation. The owl body was punched in Chocolate Chip, the antlers with the Elegant Butterfly Punch were punched in Soft Suede and the circle was punched in Early Espresso! I used a Basic Black Marker to color 2 little nose holes (like tear drops) and then adhered it to the owl body. Of course I cut off the little feet from the owl. I cut the butterfly wings off and rounded them off a little. I attached the wings behind the owl body for the antlers and added the googly eyes!!!
This little Lion was created with the Owl Builder Punch and the 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch! I punched the owl body out in Crushed Curry and the little heart from the Owl Builder punch in Chocolate Chip. The scallop circle was punched out in Cajun Craze. I cut off the little feet from the owl and added the googly eyes and the heart nose. I used a Mini Glue Dot for the nose…..be sure to push it all onto the paper before placing it on the owl otherwise it will look like a snotty nose like mine above. 🙂 I used a Chocolate Chip Marker to create the mouth and the little freckles! I layered this onto the scallop circle and you are all done! This would be perfect for a kid’s birthday party favor, tag, or card!

Which little animal is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below! I think the lion is my favorite or the reindeer! They are all just so cute!
I have been having lots of fun with this little penguin! I have really loved him more than the snowmen which I’m kind of surprised! All of them from the Snow Place Stamp Set are all just so cute! You can get the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits as well. Purchase them together and you will save 15%! I did everything on this card on one layer because I was going for a simple look!
I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a piece of Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″! There are 24 pieces of this design in the stack so that makes making multiples much easier! I stamped the penguin from the Snow Place Stamp Set in Basic Black and colored in his feet and beak with a Pumpkin Pie marker! I stamped the little bow tie in Real Red. I used the Circle Framelits to cut out the penguin and create the Old Olive layer! I added this piece to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the greeting! The greeting was from the November 2014 Paper Pumpkin Kit! I am doing a large class with lots of Holiday cards using many different sets so I dipped into a few of my Paper Pumpkin Stamps to make sure I had different greetings on each! The greeting was punched out with the Washi Label Punch! I brushed the edges with a Real Red Sponge Dauber to make it pop out more!
Which image do you prefer – the snowmen or the penguin?? Let me know in the comments below!
