Cards Inspired By Stamp Class!

I did these last night. Top card is stamped onto acetate, cut out & then stuck onto this sparkly glitter sticker paper stuff. I then cut it out & stuck it to the layers of Caribbean card. The shapes were cut out using my nesties. The word stamp is from Inkadinkado. I added some gems to the snowflakes on the bauble.

Second card is the black & white one I posted before, but I have added a bow & some some glitter to it. Looks better IRL! Last card is similar to the top card, stamped on acetate and then added to a brayered background.

Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

I Went To A Stamp Class!

By chance I went to a stamp class on the weekend & here is some of what we did! I didn't know I was even going until the last minute! Threw some 'basic' stamping stuff in a bag, grabbed some (equally basic - long boring story) food & off I went with my friend Helen! The class was held at Stamp & Create in Milford which is owned by Judi Davis. You gotta go there it's an awesome shop!! Shame it is so far away from where I live:-(

Yo Dawson from Crafting Around was demoing some Christmas cards using stickers & this gorjuss card called Caribbean something or other, yummm it is niiiice! The other cards she demoed were some yummy black & white cards. On the first card the pudding has foil on the icing & the card is made using the Caribbean card. The green side bit is cuttle bugged. The second card with the baubles is done using the Versamark Dazzle ink pad & I stamped a big stamp that has sort of 'cracked' lines on it. Then I brayered over the top using my Capuccino Kaleidocolor stamp pad. The baubles were stamped in Stazon ink onto some clear acetate then cut out & stuck to the card using ultra tiny dots of sponge tape. The smaller bauble was just a cut out of card & I used a circle sticker around it. I added sticker chains to each bauble. Lastly I added the curves of chain which just gives the card a different look. I used a dark iridescent brown card for the base card. Oh yes, I added some glitter to the bauble:-)

The green card is done using the same technique as above but using a crackle stamp as background. Once again I have used gold star stickers on acetate.

This class was serious FUN! We did alot of stamping, laughing, (shopping, of course!) & eating as well a bit of 'gossip'...my lips are sealed:-) On top of a whole day stamping I ended up spending the next day at Helen's doing more stamping! A marathon 48 hours but fun! I know I will do it again sometime!! Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

More Stuff From Class

The black & white card was done using a cuttlebug embossing folder & lightly rubbing a pale silver/pink ink pad over the top. The black square was done using my nesties. There is a gold sticker that says "With Love" but it wasn't easy to photograph as it was so sparkly. You punch the square in the white card & thread ribbon through it before you stick the white card to the black. I have also added some circle stickers to the white card. Looks much better IRL!

The bottom card is done using more Christmas stickers & the gorjuss Caribbean card! Thanks for visiting! {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

Circles And Snowmen

Here are the last two cards I made at class. The top one card is cut on an angle at the top & on the side, just to give it a different look. I can cut my cards crooked very easily! I have used a large circle sticker around the snowmen (an old Xmas card from years gone by!) & then cut around the circle & stuck it to the card. I added some smaller half circles & stippled some gold ink around the edges of the card.

The bottom card has a Christmas tree sticker on & I have cut some red & blue Caribbean card to layer it onto he green card. Very quick to make. I added some gems which I coloured with some permanent markers to get the colours I wanted.

Fun Fun Fun! Thanx for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to you:-)

Snowlady!

The blue background on here was done by stamping a star stamp on white glossy card using a Versamark Dazzle stamp pad then brayering it with a blue dye ink. (Click image to enlarge to see better) I layered it onto a read card. I cut around the Xmas lights to "pop" them up. I only cut around the globe, not the entire light.

Stamp: Stampendous

Embellishments: stick on red pearls, chunky glitter, kindyglitz, snowflake stickers.

I like this stamp & borrowed it from my friend Helen - thanx Helen:-)

The Two Purrito's...

Top photo is "Ro-Ro" playing in a box, he was full of mischief & ready for a game when I took this! Second photo is "Bella-Rosa" playing "Santa Claws"! I can't say she was thrilled about wearing the hat, but she did let me take a few snaps! However she was not happy about having the elastic under her chin so we just sat the hat on her head without it! I mean, come on, there's only so much a cat will put up with!

Ai Only Haz Aiz For YOO!

My gorjuss 'lil bloke, as I call him, "Ro-Ro"! He is inside my purple back pack that I was (trying to) pack ready to go to a stamp class! He thought if he could fit in the bag he could come with me! Should I change his name to "Stampin'-Paws"?! {{HUGS}} from us to you:-)
