Christmas Stamp Camp Projects! Cards 7, 8 and 9 in the Christmas Count Down!

Hi Stampers! 

Here are the fun projects we made at our Christmas Stamp Camp on 12-13-14!
The stamp sets used were:  Mingle all the Way, Get Your Santa On, and Ornamental Pine.

The 3-D projects turned out so cute!  We used the Curvy Keepsake box Thinlits and Gift Box Punch Board.  It was so much fun! 

**  Keep your eye out for the next Stamp-a-Stack class in February.  We will be stamping all occasion cards plus a few Valentines' day.**

Embossing Powder & Brayer Technique~

Hi Stampers!  I wanted to share a fun little technique using the brayer and embossing powder.

 
1st what I did was take a piece of Whisper white card stock, I used the Embossing Buddy first, (love this little bag!) and rubbed it over the paper to make sure the embossing powder did not stick. 
2nd I stamped snowflakes using the Versa Mark stamp pad and covered it with white embossing powder and then heat set it.

 
3rd I took two colored inks, Island Indigo and Costal Cabana, I ran my brayer over one side of the ink pad for half of the roller and the other colored ink for the other side of the roller.  Then I rolled it over the paper moving it fast back and forth until the ink was blended and off the roller.  I turned the paper and did another corner the same way. 

4th I took a tissue or napkin and wiped off the extra ink on the snowflakes.  It also helps to blend the colors together a little bit more. 

I took Costal Cabana  as my card base and Whisper White Card Stock to layer my card.

I added the sentiment from the Merry Everything stamp set and punched it out using the Note Tag punch.

And that's it!  That is how fun and easy it is to add color to your paper using embossing powder and the brayer.  Here is another sample of the same inks used but with the Pacific Point card stock.

Let me know if you have any questions!
Have a great day!

Four Feathers

Hi Stampers!
I had found some feathers in a drawer and wanted to some how make it work with the Four Feathers stamp set in the HOLIDAY CATALOG.  This is what I came up with. 
I used white embossing powder on Lost Lagoon card stock and tied it with the satin Lost Lagoon ribbon.  Pretty simple card but looks really pretty.  The sentiment is from the Trust God stamp set available in the ANNUAL CATALOG. 

Let me know if you have any questions!
Have a great day.

Tree Punch-Merry Christmas card!, Christmas Count Down card 6

Hi Stampers! 
I wanted to use the fun Tree Punch without the coordinating stamp set, Festival of Trees.  This is what I came up with.  I used the Nordic Noel DSP from the Holiday catalog.  The sentiment is from the Merry Everything stamp set.  To bring out each layer, I popped up each one with the Stampin' Dimensionals.  The Whisper White card stock was ran through the Textured Boutique using the Lucky Stars Textured embossing folder and placed on the card base of Real Red.

Thanks for stopping by!
If you have any questions please let me know!
