Technique Tuesday – Owl Builder Punch Animals!!!

Posted on November 10, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

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!

Technique Tuesday – Snow Friends Framelits!!!

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today! Today we are playing with the Snow Place Stamp Set and Snow Friends Framelits (Bundle & Save 15%)! How cute is this???

I have had even more fun with the little penguin but that little snowman is beyond precious!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Snow Place Stamp Set, Snow Friends Framelits, Big Shot, Scrap Whisper White, and Inks

You can use those Whisper White scraps that you have been saving….surely I’m not the only one! 🙂 I stamped the Penguin, Snowmen, Arms and Top Hat from the Snow Place Stamp Set all in Basic Black! You can stamp with fairly close together but not sure close that the Framelits would cut into the one next to it. I stamped the ear muffs in Melon Mambo and the bow tie in Bermuda Bay. There are lots of other pieces in this set that you can use as well – buttons, hat, scarf, snowcone, and more! Once you have everything stamped, it is time to cut the out with the coordinating Snow Friends Framelits. I used the Magnetic Platform when die cutting these out because the frames stick to this platform and don’t move around. You can cut lots of pieces out at one time, as long as they all fit on the platform! This way you don’t have to run it through the Big Shot millions of times! Once you have your pieces cut out, it is time to assemble!!!

I started with A Bermuda Bay card base and layered on some Basic Black. Then I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling Embossing Folder! I added this to the Basic Black layer and then built my snowmen on the card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals of course! For the nose, I used a Pumpkin Pie Marker to color it in!

This is the penguin that I created in the Video Tutorial! You can check that out below or by clicking here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!

Which do you prefer the snowmen or the penguin? Let me know in the comments below!

Technique Tuesday – 70+ Cards from 1 Stack!!!

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means!!! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today. I will show you how to create over 70 Cards from a Designer Series Paper Stack! I used the Pretty Petals Stack and created cards for every occasion – man, women, sympathy, birthday, anniversary, wedding and more!!! I love it!

Here are the cards that I created with each sheet in the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack! You can get multiples of each of these cards and then use the leftover scrap pieces to create quilt cards like these samples! I will be posting a few of these today and the rest tomorrow!!! 🙂 Let’s get started!

This card uses a Calypso Coral card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 5-1/2″ x 2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border on the top and bottom is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set and punched it out with the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch! The butterflies were punched out from the Elegant Butterfly Punch and Bitty Butterfly Punch!

This card uses a Mint Macaron card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 2″ x 5-1/2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border along the side is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the August Paper Pumpkin Kit and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch! The butterflies were stamped from the Papillion Potpourri Stamp Set and then punched out from the Elegant Butterfly Punch and Bitty Butterfly Punch!

This card uses a Calypso Coral card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 4″ x 5-1/4″. You can get 1 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 4 cards like this! The Designer Series Paper is layered onto Old Olive measuring 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″. I wrapped some Gold Baker’s Twine around the left edge and tied it into a bow! The greeting is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I die cut the greeting out with the Deco Label Framelits and added a layer of Old Olive with the next frame size up! I added a flower that was punched out with the Petite Petals Punch and I placed a Pearl in the center!

This card uses a Very Vanilla card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 2″ x 5-1/2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border on the left and right of the DSP is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the same set and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch!

This card uses a Pacific Point card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. You can get 1 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 4 cards like this! I used some of my scraps of cardstock in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pacific Point. I used various sizes of circle punches. The greeting is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I thought the circles looked a little plain at first so I added the little stitches around the edges and I think it really makes them pop! Love it!! This would make a fabulous kid’s card!

I will be posting the rest of the cards in the set tomorrow! If you would like to see all of this in action, check out the Video Tutorial below or by clicking here! If you liked the video, be sure to give it a thumbs up! Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss tomorrow’s post! 🙂

Technique Tuesday – Owl Builder Punch Art!!!

Posted on October 20, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! You know what that means….I have some fabulous techniques to share with you today! Today we are playing with Punch Art! It is so much fun to create lots of different creatures and images from the punches you already have (or need to get after today)! When you can use a punch for more ways that the obvious circle or square, it makes it worth so much more as well! Let’s get started!!!

We will start with the Tulips! I love tulips and they make me think of Spring…..can we just skip Winter this year? These tulips can be created in any color! I used Wisteria Wonder to punch out 3 owl bodies from the Owl Builder Punch. I snipped off the feet of the owl and brushed the edges with Elegant Eggplant and a Sponge Dauber. I like how this gives texture and dimension to the tulip. For the stems and leaves, I used Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I cut long strips for the stems. They don’t have to be rectangle or perfect because flower stems never are so make it a long triangle or a short rectangle or a not perfectly straight stem! It all works! The leaves were punched out with the Bird Builder Punch for the final touch! You can create bouquets or just a few along the bottom of your project or just one elegant tulip! I love these!

This little pear is super easy to create with the Owl Builder Punch! Just punch out an owl body with some Pear Pizzazz cardstock and cut off the feet and ears, slopping to the center to give that rounded off look. Then with a little piece of scrap Pear Pizzazz or brown of your choice, cut a little piece for the stem. I brushed the edges of the pear with a Chocolate Chip Sponge Dauber to give texture and make it look rounded! Simple and fabulous!

This little kitty is just adorable and would look super fabulous looking out the window using the Hearth and Home Thinlet Dies! For the kitty, I punched out an owl body in Basic Black with the Owl Builder Punch. Then I punched just a sliver of the body from the side to create that little curved tail. I adhered the owl body to a piece of Bohemian Designer Series Paper with the tail off to the left and then trimmed the bottom off. I like using the Designer Series Paper as a guide to cut straight! There is your kitty silhouette! I did take a Basic Black Marker to create a few whiskers. You could create a face and have the kitty looking at you if you wished! Mine is looking out the window!

The guitar is perfect for any rockstar!!!! You could use Silver, Gold, Red, or Dazzling Diamonds for your guitar. You can even spritz the Dazzling Diamonds with some re-inker and get any color! ROCK ON!!!! I punched an owl out in the Gold Glimmer Paper and cut off the feet. You will also need the Owl Builder Punch for 1 eye (smaller circle above the body) and 2 hearts. Placing the 2 hearts point to point, place a Mini Glue Dot on the end of some Basic Black measuring 3/4″ wide and however long you wish and stick it on the hearts. This creates your guitar end. The little eye will be added to the center of the glimmer paper with a Mini Glue Dot. This is the whole in the guitar. Now adhere the other end of the long black piece to the guitar body. You are all set! You could always take a Signo White Gel Pen and create strings! Love it!!!

Technique Tuesday – Ways To Use Ribbon!!

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today!! It is all about ribbon! Ribbon is my favorite embellishment!

Look at all of these fabulous samples that use ribbon in lots of different ways!!!! Here are just a few of my favorites:

Cut a strip and lay it across your card/project to add a little texture, cover up a distinct line between 2 pieces of cardstock or just for a little flare! See Thinking of You Butterfly Card which uses White Organza Ribbon or the You’re The Best which uses Whisper White Cotton Ribbon!
Add it along the top or side of your card/project in a knot and add a few more knots of the same color or coordinating colors. This is a great way to use up scrap pieces and add texture and coverage to your card if it has a simple image or greeting! See Happy Birthday Candle Card which uses Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight Cotton Ribbon!
Add a strip of ribbon along your card/project and then create a Fork Bow to add to the middle or side! You can also just add a fork bow to your project anywhere without the line of ribbon! Click here for a video tutorial on how to create one! See Purple Hi Card which uses Rich Razzleberry Cotton Ribbon!
You can create a Faux Knot with the ribbon as well which usually it a little less bumpy and bulky on your card. You will take 2 strips of ribbon and create a t or cross on your card/project. You will want to adhere the ends of the horizontal piece to the back of your cardstock. With the vertical pieces you will tie a knot. This usually only requires one knot rather than a double knot which is why it is less bulky. See You Make My Heart Happy Card which uses Whisper White Satin Ribbon and this sample!
You can use ribbon for a little texture and flare by making loops of it and sticking it to the back of your greeting or focal image. Click here to see a video tutorial on that. See Congrats Card which uses Black Baker’s Twine!
You can tie a fairly loose knot in a strip of ribbon and tack the ends behind your cardstock for a simple knot on your card/project. See Simple Knot in the photo below and a sample in the video below!
You can create a bow (bunny ear style) and attach it to your card like this one and this one!
You can use it on gift boxes, treat bags, and so much more! See samples here, here, here and here!
You can cut the ribbon ends straight across, diagonal or fold it in half and cut diagonally down from the fold to the end and you will create those perfect banner tips!
You can see tons and tons of samples using ribbon when you click on the key word Ribbon along the right hand side of my blog or click here!

You can also see a Video Tutorial on these bows down below or by clicking here! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!! Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel – Laura’s Stamp Pad so you don’t miss out on any future videos and you can easily find my videos in the future! 🙂

Technique Tuesday – Snowflake Background!!!

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means!!! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today…just in time for the upcoming season – ~~winter~~. I don’t want it to come any sooner so let’s not mention it! 🙂

Aren’t these little penguins holding hands just adorable?? I love them but they are not the technique that I’m sharing with you today. I’m going to show you how to create that beautiful snowy background without stamping on your penguins! Let’s get started!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Background Stamp of Choice, Scrap piece of paper

I started with a card base of Basic Black and then cut 2 pieces of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-/4″. One of the pieces is for the inside of the card and the other piece is for the card front. I started by stamping the little penguins and accessories from the Snow Place Stamp Set (Bundle & Save 15%). I stamped the penguins in Basic Black and colored in the beak and feet with a Pumpkin Pie Marker! I did a Real Red bow tie and Rich Razzleberry earmuffs! Now for the snowflake background that I stamped in Pool Party. Stamp all around and be sure to fall off of your piece of paper for a continuing look. Be sure not to stamp on top of your penguins. When you get close to them, use a scrap piece of paper to cover them up like a mask. This will give you the chance to stamp between and above them for a really snowy look! Simple and yet fabulous!!! I love it! For the greeting, I stamped it in Pool Party from the Snow Place Stamp Set and then die cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits and the Big Shot! I brushed the edges of the greeting with a Sponge Dauber! I added some White Glitter Ribbon along the top and placed the greeting over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals! You could change this card up a bit and stamp the number of penguins in your family or you could spread them out and add as many as you would like! I love it!

Technique Tuesday – Halloween Treats!!!

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! Halloween is right around the corner and today I have some simple yet fabulous treat packaging ideas for you!!! It’s never to early to get start but wait to buy the candy to avoid temptations of eating it all before Halloween arrives!!! 😉

I am loving the Spider Web Doilies and they really are so fabulous you don’t need much else to decorate!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Spider Web Doilies, Sketched Dots Tag & Bag Gift Bags, Sponge Daubers, Alphabet Stamp Set, Pumpkin Pie Cotton Ribbon, 1″ Circle Punch, 3/4″ Circle Punch, 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch

First let’s start with the little mason jars. These are really quick and simple and you can put lots of different gift options in there for teachers, neighbors, friends, family, etc – Gift Card, Nail Polish, Candy, Cookies, Chex Mix, Hot Cocoa, and more! I started off by taking my 2-1/2″ Circle Punch and either Basic Black or Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the top lid! The greeting that I used came from the Cheer All Year Stamp Set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. One of them I punched out with a 1″ Circle Punch added it to the lid with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The other one I punched out with the 3/4″ Circle Punch and layered it onto a 7/8″ Scallop Circle in Basic Black!

Now for the side, I added Tear & Tape half way around the jar right along the top! This is what holds the half of Spider Web Doily onto the jar! Of course since the doily has holes in it and the sticky comes through, I added the ribbon to cover it up! I used Pumpkin Pie Cotton Ribbon to tie around the jar and into a bow. On one of them I placed the bow over the doily and on the other one I placed it on the back side of the doily! All done!!! Fill with goodies and enjoy!!!

For the Treat Bag, I started with a Sketched Dots Gift Bag and used my sponge daubers to add Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight for the candy corn look!!! You can use the ink pad directly to the bag but I found this to be super messy and all of the ink doesn’t soak in so it is a bit of a waste! For the tag, I stamped the word BOO from the Layered Letters Alphabet Stamp Set and the little spider is from the Cheer All Year Stamp Set! These were stamped onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then die cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits! I adhered the tag to the Spider Web Doily and then to the front of the bag!!! Fill with goodies and enjoy!!!

I am not a huge fan of Halloween so I’m never really drawn to Halloween Stamp Set. I do like to make a few cards and treats for the very few trick-or-treats (if any) that we do get. I usually end up giving them to stampers at classes, the cashier at the grocery store and my neighbors! Finding out of the box ways to create the Halloween look is sometimes more fun too!!!

If you would like to see today’s technique in action, check out the video below or click here!!! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!! Don’t forget to subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss and future videos too! 🙂

Happy Trick-Or-Treatin’

Rustic Wonderland!!!

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today and this one is super simple and yet packs a punch of a fabulous look!!! Have you ever wanted a forest look or a bouquet of flowers look but don’t know how to achieve it without making your card look like a mess of stamping?? I have the tip (or technique) for you!!!

I love the look of this card with the forest behind the greeting. There is texture and variation which makes it look more real. The trick is stamping multiple times without going back to the ink pad!!!!

SUPPLIES INCLUDED: Wonderland Stamp Set, Linen Tread, Deco Labels Framelits, Big Shot, Markers

I started with a Garden Green card base measuring 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Then I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ and stamped with Garden Green the trees from the Wonderland Stamp Set which is in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Stamp the trees down and then move it a little to the left or right and also a little up or down to give that variation and stamp again. Then move a little again and stamp again. I stamped 3 times in different spots with each inking. Be sure to go both side to side and up and down so the trees aren’t just straight across! It’s as simple as that. Then I wrapped some Linen Thread around the trees twice and tied a knot. For the greeting, I took a piece of scrap Very Vanilla and stamp the greeting from the Wonderland Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip. Then I took the pine branch and inked it with my markers. This allowed me to color the pine cones Chocolate Chip and then branch Garden Green! I stamped it once above and once below the greeting. Then I lined up the Deco Labels Framelit (2nd smallest one) and die cut it out. I then used the 2nd largest one to cut out a Chocolate Chip frame to layer with my greeting. I added this greeting piece to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals!! I love it!!! It would make a great Man Card as well with a Birthday greeting…..might be making a few of those as well!!! 🙂

Do you want to see this technique in action? Here is a quick tutorial showing your how to create that forest look my stamping multiple times before re-inking. Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you like!!!

Technique Tuesday – Garden in Bloom!!

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday and Happy September!!! I can’t believe it! But that means that I have a fabulous technique to share with you – 2-Step Stamping AND the Holiday Mini Catalog is out!!! WOOT WOOT! It’s a fabulous day!!! Check out this beauty!!!

So you all know I love flowers but that Bumble Bee steals the show on this card! Aren’t they precious??? I think so for sure!!! Now let’s get started on this Multi-Step Stamping card!!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Garden in Bloom Stamp Set, Cardstock

Not a lot of items on the list this week! When you have a fabulous stamp set like this Garden in Bloom Set, you don’t need a lot of extra because the set has it all. The 2-Step Stamping (sometimes 3) technique really gives an image depth, texture, and a variation of colors. I love that!!! The Whisper White piece of cardstock that I stamped on measures 3-3/4″ x 5″. I started with the flower in the center. First, I stamped the outline of the flower in Memento Black Ink. There is a little arrow (or nubbin as I like to call it) on the stamp that you will want to take note of. This arrow is on every image for your flower. If you line those arrows up each time, your image will be placed correctly. I usually try to point the arrow UP or at another image on my paper to make it easy to remember.

Then I took the 6 petal image and inked it up in Melon Mambo. Remembering that my arrow was up last time, I will place the arrow up on this image to have perfect placement of these petals. How fabulous?!?! There is also a little oval (finger print) image in the stamp set that you can use for the center. I think it is actually for the bumble bee but it can be used for the flower as well. You could also color it in with a marker if you wish. I stamped the center of the flower in Crushed Curry!!! I stamped the little bumble bees in Memento Black Ink and then the centers with Crushed Curry. For the buzz lines, I used a Basic Black Marker!!! Those really made him come to life! I seriously squealed once I added those on. 🙂 The greeting is from the Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess Stamp Set!!! Love that font!

I will be posting more samples using this stamp set because I had so much fun with it!!! Stay tuned! If you want a sneak peak of those cards as well as a Video Tutorial on this Garden in Bloom Stamp Set, check out the video below or click here!!

Technique Tuesday – Flower Patch!!!

Posted on August 25, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a fabulous technique to share with you today!!! This one is super exciting because it is all about FLOWERS!!! I just love stamping flowers and creating beautiful cards with them!!! This is no exception!!!!

How amazing is this card with the depth and texture and colors of the flowers??? I love it!!! So let’s get started on how it was created!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Flower Patch Stamp Set, Flower Fair Framelits (Bundle & Save 15%), Elegant Dots Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Inks & Pearls

I started with a Whisper White card base measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ and embossed the card front with the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder. Then I took scrap Whisper White pieces and stamped the flowers. The large center flower was done in Blackberry Bliss and the medium flower was stamped in Tempting Turquoise with the other flower on top stamped in Island Indigo. For the smaller flower, I stamped it in Crushed Curry and the smallest one (layered on top of the yellow flower) was stamped in Tangerine Tango. For the leaves, I stamped the solid image in Cucumber Crush and stamped off, then I took the center piece and stamped it also in Cucumber Crush (no stamping off). I then used the coordinating Flower Fair Framelits to cut out each of the flowers and leaves!!! No fussy cutting necessary here. I have a couple tips for finding the correct way to line up the flowers without spinning them around and around to see how it lines up. Check out the video below for those tips!! 🙂 I adhered the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals to a piece of Tip Top Taupe. I also stamped the greeting and little mini flower from the Flower Patch Stamp Set in Tip Top Taupe. I love it!!! You could use so many color combinations for a card like this and each one would be stunning I’m sure!! I finished off the flowers with a few Pearls!!! Love it!!!

Here is the Video Tutorial showing the tips and tricks on stamping and using the Framelits!!! I will be posting the other samples from the video soon! Be sure to subscribe to my blog in the upper right corner so you don’t miss out!!

Happy Stampin’
