Stampendous and Clearsnap Blog Hop Time!!

This week Stampendous joined forces (and products) with Clearsnap. For over 20 years Clearsnap has been bringing you premium stamping innovation. They’ve always had fantastic products, new ideas, and excellent customer service. We’re really proud to be partnering with them this week to create some fun projects with our images and their inks.

Today I have a tag to share with you and here is how it was done.
1.  Spritz a manilla tag with walnut ink (any brown spray will do), let dry.
2.  Stamp Music Score on the left side with Mudslide Archival ink by Clearsnap and randomly stamp Merry from the Holly Bird set with the same ink, stamping several times before reinking.
3.  Glue decorative paper to the bottom of the tag and stamp the top portion of the tag with Winter Snow using Top Boss Watermark ink and emboss with Shabby White embossing powder.
4.  Tie brown ribbon around tag and glue on a red poinsettia (Michael's).
5.  Stamp Christmas on tan paper with Mudslide Archival ink, rub edges with Top Boss Watermark ink and emboss with Shabby White embossing powder.  Glue to tag and add a red Dot Sparkler.

Now hop on over to see what the other designers have made today and be sure to comment on each for your chance to win a prize!!!!

Vintage Holly Bird

Right now I'm really into kraft, tan and brown colors paired up with other colors.  Today I paired kraft and tan with burgundy and gold to make an elegant Christmas card.  Stampendous has a great new stamp set Hollly Bird Perfectly Clear Stamps that has the bird and sentiment used plus other pretty stamps.



The image was stamped and embossed with gold then watercolored.  The edges were torn, rubbed with Versamark ink and embosses with Jeweled Gold embossing powder that is beautiful and glittery in person.  Dot Sparklers were added to the crown and on the holly berries.  The paper on the bottom is decorative paper that I've had for a while, I'm a paper collector and  hoarder so I'm trying to use it up to make room for new!!!

Be sure to stop by next week for a Blog Hop, Stampendous is joining with Colorbox to bring you wonderful cards and crafts!

Season of Peace

Dove Music (Stampendous) is such a pretty stamp I just had to use it to make a card!  The Dove was stamped on white paper and watercolored then cut out and layered onto white sparklely paper and cut out again.  Fran's Sticky Panels (Stampendous) were cut into strips, layed onto the card then Gold and Red Encrusted Jewels (Stampendous) were used.  The final touch were the pearls, one for the eye and three on the left side.

Now today I will be preparing for the storm that will be rolling in today and for about a week of below freezing weather!  I know for some of you this is no big deal but I'm from sunny warm Southern California and so NOT used to this, brrrrrrrr. 
Stay warm and stop by tomorrow to see a Christmas card with a vintage look :)

Here Comes Santa

Santa Air Drop from Stampendous is  a great full panel image for your cards.  This is colored with pencils then sprinkled with Blue Encrusted Jewels.  The sentiment is Holly Bird Perfectly Clear Set and I love that the words are separate so you can stamp them in different colors.

Hope my U.S. friends had a nice Thanksgiving!  Today I will be out enjoying Black Friday, fun, fun, fun!  Be sure to stop by next week for another Christmas card :)

Pretty Pointsettias

(Yes I know Poinsettia is spelled wrong in my title but I can't change it or it will mess up my link...sorry guys)

These big Poinsettias by Stampendous are perfect to fill a card.  The music was stamped first then the Poinsettias were embossed with gold and watercolored with Adirondack Inks which is a dye ink and it worked out perfectly.  I was afraid the music would smear since it's also a dye ink but it didn't, yay!  Glitter was added to the center for just a touch of bling.

Stampendous is sold out of this popular stamp but if you would like to get it, it is available at Stamplistic.

This Poinsettia was colored with watercolor pencils with a very similar effect.  Since the image is embossed I took the color off the pencil with a wet brush rather and coloring directly on the paper since I didn't want the embossing to chip off.

Christmas Card Time

This is my favorite time of the year for card making!  Lots of gold, glitter and beautiful colors, so to start off this season I'm sharing a card featuring new stamps from Stampendous.

This Gifts Kiddo is colored with pencils with glitter glue on the hat and cuffs and Dot Sparklers on the shoes, collar and the upper corners of the card.  Winter Snow is stamped on the cream panel with Gold and Copper Brilliance.  Then for the 3 snow flakes, I used a punch with Fran's Sticky Panels (a clear double sided adhesive sheet), placed them on the card and embossed with Shabby White powder. To glue everything down I used Beacon 3 in 1 Glue, its fast drying.
