Fall Box

My good friend Tina sent this link http://clearlyistamp.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/10/altered-candles-and-a-gift-box.html I created my own design and added the oval window instead of a square one like she had. I used the Rich Razzleberry CS for the Box and covered it with Autumn Meadows DSP and I used the Bashful Blue Tafetta Ribbon. I stamped the leaf and acorn from the Autumn Splender Stamp Set and cut them out and sprayed with a mixture of alcohol and a few drops of the Champagne Mist All Purpose Ink. I don't think the picture shows the shine but it sure makes those leaves pretty. I used the large oval punch for the window and inserted a piece of clear window sheet for the opening.

Grandson passed his driving test!

Well, our Grandson Braylon passed his driving test ~ we are so proud of him. Papa Bob went and got him a GPS today so he won't get lost ~ he'll send it along with this tag I made for him by UPS tomorrow ...



I used the Rich Razzleberry CS and Ink Pad, the Bigz Two Tags Die and cut the B from the Sizzlets Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Set. I stamped the saying from the Sense of Time Stamp Set on Whisper White and punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch and sponged it all and used the White Gel Pen to make the stitches look real.

I used the computer to add some sweet encouragement and printed it out and cut and mounted it to the back of the tag. I think he'll like it!

Dasher Christmas Card

I'm sure getting my money's worth out of the little Dasher Stamp ($8.95 on page 208 #116816 in the Stampin' UP! 2009-2010 idea book & catalog). I made this quick and easy Christmas Card. I stamped it in Real Red Ink and mounted it on Real Red CS, punched the bottom with my Scallop Edge Punch and made holes with my paper piercer. The background layer is from the Specialy DSP Christmas Cocoa and layered it onto a Real Red CS card base. A ribbon of striped Grosgrain Real Red and it was done! Hope you like it.

Christmas Gift Card

I saw this on StampingSchool.com this week. Linda does a great job. I used Christmas Cocoa DSP, the Christmas Ornament Punch along with the Curly Label Sizzix die using the Christmas Ornament Insert. Soft Suede CS layered with the Real Red CS punched and 5 of the Christmas Punch glued together to go inside the cut-out. There is a white card mounted to the back of the Soft Suede CS stamped with the Christmas Punch Stamp Ornament in Soft Suede. Tied a bow with the White Tafetta Ribbon.

Christmas Creations 2009

I made some gift card holders and a tag...used the Designer Specialty Paper Christmas Cocoa. Scallop Circle, Top Note Die, Christmas Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations Stamp Set along with Red CS and Soft Suede ink for sponging. The tag was punched with the Bigz Two Tag Die and the ribbon is the White Satin and there is a brad on the tag from the Pretties Kit and silver stretch cord for hangers. I got the Top Note Die idea from Inking Idaho and the other envelope looking idea from somebody's blog, but for the life of me I can't find it (so sorry) ~

Dasher Christmas Card

This little Dasher Stamp is so cute. I stamped him in Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede, cut his body out of the Soft Suede and popped it on top then layered it onto Soft Suede CS and Rich Razzleberry CS onto a Whisper White CS background stamped with snowflakes from the Hostess set Christmas Punch. Also used the have a holly jolly christmas stamp from that set and punched it with the Curly Label Punch and popped it up, added Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon and layered onto more Rich Razzleberry CS & onto a card base of Soft Suede CS. Sponged the edge of the Whisper White CS ~ won't be long will be time to get cards sent out for the Holiday.
