Happy World Card Making Day!

(Saturday, October 6, 2012)

Introduction Repeated: To celebrate this auspicious occasion, I joined a blog tour!  I know, I don’t do these very often, but a bunch of my Stampin’ Up! Friends are all linked together on October 6th to bring you a whirlwind of ideas!  After you read my post, just scroll down to the link that will take you to the next person’s blog…etc etc…until you are back here to me!  Be sure to go full circle so that you don’t miss anything!!

I am excited to welcome you to my fifth and final post of World Card Making Day!   11:59 PM through Sunday!

This card is my all-time favorite card right now (you how that changes when you make your next all time favorite).  I created it after taking over a week off from stamping!  YIKES!  But I am glad I did that because I was re-energized and my creative brain was happy again!  LOL  

There is one thing about this card - - -  it did take a while to create, mostly because of the stitching.  I needed to stitch through several layers, as you can see, so it was a little harder, even with pre-pierced holes!  Still, all good things take time.  I hope you like this one as much as I do!

This fun card was created for one of my clubs and the girls loved it so much that I decided to add to today’s posts. 

 The technique is pretty simple, just place all four pieces of Designer Series Paper next to each other inside the Textured Embossing Folder running them through the Big Shot at the same time.  Then adhere them to your card front.   You will also notice the I drew the stitches on freehand using a Stampin' Write Marker.  The rest I think you can figure out through the supplies list.  However, if you have questions my contact information is below. 

Supplies:

   

Stamp Set:  Lacy and Lovely (w-#122885 C-#122887)

Designer Series Paper: Floral District (#126919)

Inks:  Rich Razzleberry (#126905) & Stampin' Write Marker (#120970)

Accessories:  Linen Thread (#104199), Basic Pearls (#125577), SNAIL adhesive (#104332 Refill #104331), Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) Big Shot Machine (#113439), Textured Impression Embossing Folder: Lacy Brocade (#127819 ),and Sizzlits Die: Delicate Doilies (#126999), Apothecary Accents Framelits (#127005), Decorative Label Punch  (#120907), and Paper Piercing Items: Tool (#126198), Mat (#126199), and Essentials Paper Piercing Pack (#126187).

 I added a video for it so you again, although this one isn't on this card...it's a tour of my stamp room!  I love to look at other people's creative spaces so I hope you enjoy mine.  The quality isn't the best, but you can see my space!

Happy World Card Making Day!

I am excited to welcome you to my third post of the day! Noon until 5:59 PM

This technique is so cool.  Many of us have done the “Ol’ Rubber bands on a Brayer” technique, but this…this is with rubber bands on an old Stampin’ Round Wheel!  The video will give the ‘how to’ but I am hooked!  It is so much easier to wheel because the color never fades in the design like it can when you use a brayer & ink pad.  Of course once you remove the rubber bands you can’t get the design to be exactly the same ever again, but isn’t that part of the fun?

Supplies:

   

Stamp Set:  Nature Walk (w-#121925 C-#121997)

Card Stock:  More Mustard (#100946) and  Whisper White (#100730) 

Many Marvelous Markers: (#119806)  More Mustard and Always Artichoke

Inks:  Stazon Jet Black (#101406)

Accessories:  Standard Wheel Handle (#102971), SNAIL adhesive (#104332 Refill #104331), Dotted Scallop Ribbon-More Mustard (#124140), Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430), and a standard size wheel that you are willing to peel apart.
