I was challenged

Well I was given a challenge by my lovely and talented downline, Vikki, to create a card and get it posted no other parameters (which if you all know me, I need parameters, I can't go into attempting to be creative without some guideance).  She knows I am not feeling the creative bug lately and needed boost to use some of my new goodies!

So I figured I would check out the new FREE items I had received recently from Stampin' Up!, just by being a demonstrator.  Ok there was a bit of work involved to get those freebies, but not much by any means.

Will get the supply list up later, but at least I am 1 card ahead for Valentine's Day coming up and it's still over 1 month away, Go Me!!

Shop with Me 24/7 to purchase all supplies used in this project.

Some workshop Cards

Here are just a couple of cards made at workshops recently. You can find detailed instructions and supply lists following each card, or just contact me to book a workshop and I will show you how to make both of these cards and provide all materials.

Ornament Card

1. Cut your WW Card stock in half, so that it is 11" x 4 ¼"
2. Cut the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" (allows 1/16" border of white around) already cut for you
3. On a separate piece of Whisper White, stamp 3 ornaments in Marina Mist and set aside to dry
4. Stamp Saying on Whisper White piece in Marina Mist and set aside, allow to dry
5. While allowing your stamped images to dry:
6. Center the Oval Embossing folder on 4 x 2 3/8" piece of Marina Mist and run through the BigShot/Die Cut machine
7. Place other 4 x 2 3/8" piece of Marina Mist in the Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and run through the BigShot/Die Cut machine
8. Adhere both pieces of Marina Mist on to Cherry Cobbler, I used the tombow Mono Mutli Adhesive, it only takes a little dab, otherwise it will ooze out the edges, however, this is a great permanent adhesive for layers and items of dimension
9. Wrap Whisper White ¼" Grosgrain ribbon around the center (covering the "cut" line), and adhere to back of cherry cobbler with a little snail, you only need the ribbon to be about 5 inches long, just long enough to tack the ribbon to the back of card
10. Now adhere your Cherry Cobbler piece to the Whisper White Cardstock
11. Punch out the ornaments with the ornament punch and saying with the scallop oval punch
12. On one ornament using a very light touch, run the Dazzling Details around the edges, and set aside to dry.
13. Use 2 Stampin' Dimensional (little double sided adhesive hexagons) on the back of the punched out saying, and adhere inside your embossed frame
14. Adhere the 2 plain ornaments on either side of cherry cobbler with snail or tombow glue
15. Use piercing tool or exacto knife to lift off a small rhinestone and place in center of the ornament that you ran the Dazzling Detail around
16. Use a Dimensional in center of back of "blinged ornament" and put in center

Stocking Card

Image on left I stamped the stockings directly onto the Confetti Cream CS

Image on Right I stamped the stockings onto Confetti Cream Cardstock then used the Stocking builder Punch to punch them out and pop up with a dimensional

 

1. Cut your Confetti Cream Card stock in half, so that it is 5 ½" x 8 ½"
2. Cut the Wild Wasabi Cardstock 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" (allows 1/16" border of white around) – already cut for you
3. Cut another piece of Confetti Cream to 3 ¾" x 5", this will be the piece you add the stockings to
4. Use the Scallop Trim Corner punch and punch each corner of the Confetti Cream piece, do not push your piece of cardstock all the way into the punch, there are small guides to only allow you to put this piece slightly in, and will line up with the Scallop Trim Border Punch also located on pg. 211 in the IB&C
5. On a separate piece of Confetti Cream Cardstock, stamp 3 stockings in Real Red and set aside to dry (reds tend to be juicier and take a few moments to dry) (way easier to do this then to stamp directly onto the cardstock unless you use a Stamp a Majig (SAMJ))
6. Stamp Saying on Confetti Cream Panel in Real Red and set aside, allow to dry (use either the stampset from Heard from the Heart – the one on my sample) or one of the sayings from Four the Holidays (you may want to use SAMJ, or just flip your cardstock over if you mess up a little)
7. While allowing your stamped images to dry:
8. Use the small piece of Silver Glimmer paper, and stick just enough in to the Stocking Builder punch to get the three pieces, heel, toe and cuff. Flip it around and do the same thing, trim off the negative part and stick in one more time. You should have a little silver glimmer paper leftover to use on another project, don't throw it away, it's too pretty and plenty left to use on something else small J
   
9. Still let those stockings dry and attach the piece of Wild Wasabi (green) to your base piece of Confetti Cream. You can also adhere the Confetti Cream panel (with the saying on it)
10. Now go ahead and punch out your Stockings, you may need to trim the piece down a bit to get it into the punch exactly.
11. Adhere the silver glimmer accent pieces to each stocking
12. Use piercing tool or exacto knife to lift off a small rhinestone and place in center of each stocking
13. Use a Dimensional in center of back of each stocking, you may want to use a couple.
