Pumpkin Maze

2012-01-28T13:58:00.000-05:00

Sorry for my absence. Life catches up some times.

This project uses the new maze found in the Occasions Mini.

Additionally, the Big Shot was used to add texture to the

Marina Mist layer and a "skirt" at the bottom

of the card. The sentiment comes from the Sweet Shop set.

Very Merry Banner

2011-12-08T17:52:00.001-05:00

I didn't want to post this because the colors are so off,

but have taken it to work, so can't get a better picture.
The circles on the pennants are actually GREEN, not blue.

This is a banner made with the Perfect Pennant and

Alphabet Simple Letters Big Shot Dies. I used

retired Designer Series papers for the

pennants and circles. The letters were made

with textured white card stock.

This banner is up in our office at work, looking

very festive.

Llama Holiday Blog Hop!

2011-10-21T17:08:00.007-04:00

Welcome to the Llama Christmas Hop!

You've likely arrived here from

Holly's site, having enjoyed her wonderful samples!

For my first project, I used

the Christmas image from the Easy

Events stamp set on page 57. I find it's simplicity

incredibly beautiful.

The focal image is embossed on Shimery

White card stock, with Wild Wasabi embossing powder.

The berries were colored in with a Cherry Cobbler

marker. The focal image was layered on

Wild Wasabi, then Early Espresso, and

finally the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Cherry Cobbler seam binding was gathered on

Sticky Strip. 2 punches with the

Doily Triple Layer punch enabled a Wild Wasabi

layer, with the Silver Glitter image layered on top.

My second project is inspired by a SU demo

named Jill Olsen. Jill colors the Silver Glimmer Paper,

found on page 41 of the Holiday Mini, with reinkers.

In the sample above, I have placed 2 cards side by side.

The card on the left shows a "normal" snowflake punched

from the Silver Glitter paper with the Doily Triple Layer punch.

The card on the right is identical, with the exception of

a snowflake that has been dyed with Elegant Eggplant

classic ink. The technique involves using your aqua

painter to paint reinker on to the Glitter paper. Let it

dry and you now have an accessory that is tinted

to match your project. You should use a dark color
reinker, as the final product is much lighter than
the actual reinker color.

Other "ingredients" used on these cards include

Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant card stock,

the Big Shot Northern Flurry Embossing Folder

and sentiment from the Contempo Christmas set.

My final project is a TeePee card decorated with
the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series Paper.
The "ornaments" are made out of soda pop cans,
that have been run through a Big Shot embossing folder
to add texture and then punched out with the Boho Blossoms
punch. The ornaments were attached with silver brads.
The star at the top is also a Pop Can, cut out
with the Big Shot Stars die.

I hope that you enjoyed these projects!

Easy Events Oval

2011-10-15T14:25:00.000-04:00

I really like the Christmas image from the Easy Events

set. It is beautiful in it's simplicity.

I used the Big Shot Ovals die to cut out the focal

whisper white card stock. The image was embossed with

Wild Wasabi embossing powder. The berries were

colored in with a Cherry Cobbler marker. I did add
some Dazzling Details to the berries, but you have

to be sooooo careful about dry time. You can see that

I smeared mine, thinking that it was dry.

I layered my Crumb Cake card base with

Wild Wasabi DSP, Cherry Cobbler and a strip

of Crumb Cake trimmed with the Scallop Border

Punch. I added Linen Thread and

Cherry Cobbler Quilted Ribbon to accent the card.

Christmas Card Box

2011-10-05T15:14:00.000-04:00

This project is a Christmas Card Box, designed to

hold "regular sized" cards. The Simply Scored tool

figured predominantly into the making of the box,

as well as belly band with scored rosette.

The rosette has a pop can center, punched with

the boho blossoms punch. The punched flower

was then run thru a Big Shot Embossing Folder.

Below, the open version of this box.

I will be demonstrating this gift box

at upcoming events. Contact me to schedule

a SU workshop now!

Christmas Shirt

2011-10-01T11:12:00.000-04:00

This is a CASE of a New Years shirt created

by Linda Aarhas. I used Frostwood Lodge DSP,

Quilted Cherry Cobbler ribbon and Red Glimmer

paper from the Holiday mini to create a Christmas version!

In order to create the central shirt panel:

- Used the Big Shot Square Lattice embossing

folder to create texture on the card base

- Used the Big Shot Stripes embossing folder

on a narrow strip to create the panel in the center

- Use the 1 3/4 inch circle punch to punch out the

neck line on the card stock base, and then mirror

that punch on the center strip.

- Assemble and add the red glimmer paper "buttons"

House of Haunts

2011-09-25T16:48:00.000-04:00

I love this image from House of Haunts.

This project was made a year or so ago, at

a demonstrator event. It is Perfect Plumb and

Pale Plum (retired).

It is accomplished with a little masking and

sponging. I hope you enjoy.

Best of Everything

2011-09-23T06:33:00.000-04:00

Best of Everything is another SU set that I really like!

It just makes me smile when I stamp the little bird!

I used the Simply Scored tool to highlight the

focal image.

Colors: Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, Old Olive

Daffodil Delight

Accessories: Triple Punch set, Simply Scored Tool,

Pearls

Jackie

Peekaboo Frames

2011-09-18T10:27:00.000-04:00

In these examples, I use the Peekaboo frames from

the Holiday Mini as picture frames.

The example above is card stock, covered with

Designer Series Paper.

This side view shows how the frame

is turned "backwards" so that the "door"

acts as the stand.

Remember that you can also run pop cans,

that have been cut apart, through the Big Shot dies.

This results in metal photo frames!

Jackie

Lolly Good Time

2011-09-14T19:31:00.000-04:00

Llama Blog Hop!!

2011-09-08T22:00:00.005-04:00

Welcome to our first llama blog hop!

You will find links at the end of this

post, to move to the next blog,

or back to the main "llama page."

My theme is projects for the

Holidays! Represented here are Fall,

Halloween and Christmas. I hope

you enjoy!

My first project uses the Leaves of a Tree stamp

in the Holiday Mini, with sentiment from the

Falling Leaves set on page 29 of the main SU catalog.

I used the Simply Scored (Holiday Mini) to score

double lines on the top and right side of a piece

of Whisper White card stock.

I then inked up

the Leaves of a Tree stamp with Daffodil Delight.

Before stamping, I used a sponge to add Cajun Craze

to the edges and trunk of this image, which I then

stamped on the Whisper White.

I ran a strip of green DSP (Designer Series Paper)

from the Nursery Nest Pack, through the Big Shot

Tasteful Trim Die. The Sentiment was stamped

in Pumpkin Pie and cut out with a Circle punch.

Lastly, the card base was run through the Big Shot

Perfect Polka Dots Die. Assemble the card and then add

Dazzling Details (page 41 of the Holiday Mini) to

some of the leaves to make it sparkle!

This is a very quick treat for your Halloween visitors.

It uses the new 1x8 Cellophane Bags on page 11

of the Holiday Mini. They are perfect for your M&M treats.

First, fill up your bag with M&Ms.

Now, grab your Got Treats set (page 65 of the main

catalog) and use Tangerine Tango and Early Espresso

markers to color the pumpkin. Stamp and punch out.

Back with a 2 3/8 Scalloped Circle punch of

Tangerine Tango and you are ready to assemble

your treat.

My final project uses the Stitched Stockings

stamp set, and coordinating Stocking Builder

punch (Holiday Mini).

The sentiment comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes

set on page 157 of the SU Catalog and is

punched out with the Word Window punch.

The Snow Burst

Big Shot Embossing Folder was used to add

texture to portions of the stockings.

Colors: Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Poppy Parade

The Pocketful of Posies DSP pack was used

for the layer behind the stockings.

I used the Simply Scored to create score lines

around the focal image, and several more

across the bottom of the card base. Score lines

really enhance to look of Whisper White c/s!

I hope that you enjoy the llama hop.

Cajun Leaves of a Tree

2011-09-05T06:57:00.000-04:00

Here's Leaves of a Tree from the Holiday Mini. This

is just a great stamp (but then I like trees). The tree was

stamped in Daffodil Delight and then sponged

with Cajun Craze. A few punches and layering of

DSP and you've got a fun fall card.

Jackie

LolliFlower Wreath

2011-09-04T16:10:00.001-04:00

My previous post incorporated a rosette or "lolliflower" on the

lid of the gift box. Today's project uses 14 "lolliflowers" to

form a wreath. The flowers were made out of textured

card stock, and the Bold Brights Designer Series

Paper Pack. The Brown DSP

flowers came from the Berry Blossoms DSP Pack.

I have not added a banner to this wreath, as I may use

it for a variety of banners for different events/occassions.

The star of this project is the Simply Scored tool

from the Holiday Mini. It is easy to score paper or

DSP for production of flowers or other crafting projects!

Jackie

Gift Box

2011-08-30T19:56:00.000-04:00

The new Holiday Mini is almost here!

Check out the new gift boxes on page 15.

This box is a great size, perfect for cookies,

candy or a small gift. It is VERY sturdy.

I covered this box with Berry Blossoms DSP

(found on page 184) and Lucky Limeade card stock.

The "lollies" on top of the gift box were made with

the NEW Simply Scored scoring tool found on

page 6-7 of the Holiday Mini. A Printed In-Color

brad completes the center of the lollie.

Tombo Multi Purpose adhesive and Sticky

Strip are needed to secure the lollies.

Jackie

Fabric Project

2011-08-27T10:02:00.000-04:00

I dabble in sewing bags and like the SU fabric.

I needed a bag for a NEW SU product and decided

to make one.

This also doubles as a recycling project. The main

part of the bag is an old tank top of mine, that had some

impossible to get out stains. I used some SU

Vintage Springtime fabric for the accent pieces.

Here you go!

Jackie

Daffodil Hello Doily

2011-07-13T09:37:00.001-04:00

I would have to say that this is one of my favorite

sets from the new catty. The Hello, Doily background

stamp makes it quick and easy to create an elegant card!

This card uses Daffodil Delight ink paired with

Real Red Satin Ribbon. The flower center is poked out

with the piercing tool and a knot of satin ribbon is

pushed through the opening.

The next picture shows a circle punch of whisper white

card stock that I taped to the inside of the card to

cover the ribbon on the back of the flower.

Quilt Card with and without

It uses the new Bloosom Bouquet Triple Punch from

Pink Pirouette. The flowers are simply punched

and layered in different color combinations.

This is the same card, after I added a pop can flower.

How could you go wrong with a little metal bling?!

Pop Can Gift Card

2011-04-25T21:31:00.000-04:00

Ok, so I needed to give a gift to a co-worker. Of course,

why would I put a bow on the package when I could make

a pop can gift card!!

This project uses retired Gable Green Card Stock,

Retired Designer Series Paper and a

Mountain Dew pop can. A retired

gray corduroy button was used.

Please take note, you can still get these

corduroy buttons on the Clearance Rack at

PLEASE NOTE: The image of these flowers,
in the Summer mini is a mirror image (thanks Judy from Iowa!)

This is a photo of how I loaded this card and
embossing folder into my Big Shot. The card
is cut "long ways" and the opening in the
embossing folder is at the top (fold in the folder
at the bottom). This enables
you to get the flowers positioned on the other edge
of the card. This arrangement just fits through the Big
Shot opening.
Obviously, the card wasn't all assembled when I
ran it thru the Big Shot... this picture was taken after
the fact.

Petal Cone Ice Cream Cone

2011-03-08T06:00:00.001-05:00

As I've said before, the Petal Cone Big Shot Die is one of my favorites!

In this example, I've used one portion of the die to form the Crumb Cake cone. It was run

through the Textile Embossing Folder to give it the "cone" texture.

The Melon Mambo banner is another section of the Petal Cone die.

The Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip ice cream "scoops" are the

decorative scallop from the die and were run through the

Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.

A Springtime Vintage button was added to one end of the

banner, a neutrals brad to the other.
