CBC50 Neglected Stamps

I used the set A New Little Someone for this challenge it has been a while since I used it. I love this stamp set and really wish we still had it. Works for many things, not just for baby cards.

On this card I used pop dots and I had stamped my image twice and cut out the arms and ears and pop dotted them and layered them on top in the right places. Don't think by the scan you can see that though. I also stamped him on the same designer paper and cut out his pads for his feet, ears and ribbon for around his neck to match.

I stamped my images in Chocolate Chip and also the upper half of the background of this card. Lower half is designer paper which I am not sure where I got it from. I stamped hugs and kisses on it so it can be used as a Get Well Card or a Baby Card. I then cut the designer paper so it went most of the way up just a little over 1/2 way. Then I added chocolate chip ribbon and tied it on the side. I used a large scalloped circle punch I believe it was a 3" punch. Then with Whisper White I added that to the Chocolate chip scallop piece for layering my bunny on. The bunny is cut out and I used pot dots to mount him to the scalloped circle. I also used a chocolate chip marker and went around and put dots on each scallop. And that is pretty much it. It is a basic card size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. When mailing a card like this that is popped out or thicker with ribbons ect. It is best to turn the card inside out so it don't get caught when going though the mail and ruining your card.

Please take some time to check out the other girls on the Belli Challenge, they have done some wonderful artwork too.

More Heritage Pages

Here are two more Heritage pages I did. I will share the other two I got done tomorrow. Hope these help you get ideas. Both of these pages have the same stamps on them but they look so different. Think I will add some white craft ink to the sides to make them look more older and worn. I really like how these two turned out. The white craft ink on these make them look silver at times and white at others, depending on the lighting an how it is help.

You can also do up pages like this and cut them in quarters and use them for cards. Or cut them in many pieces and and use them as accents on pages.

I am really enjoying being back to stamping I missed it. I had lost my mojo when I was doing so much for Mom and just didn't have the desire to do any stamping let alone any other craft. Now that she is feeling somewhat better I am back to stamping and think I have my mojo back.

Anyway my sisters and I are getting together every Sunday after noon to stamp so we can get a bunch of pages done. Hoping this works out for all of us.

I'm back!.....Heritage Background Pages

Bet you thought I was never coming back. I have been down with sinus headaches and taking care of my Mom. In and out of the hospital. I think this time they finally got her feeling good enough that she will do better now.

My sisters and myself are doing some heritage scrapbooks. We are just doing background pages right now and will add the rest as we get more done. Going to get information from my parents while they are still her on a lot of the pictures. I am doing more pages that look like old wallpaper like my parents used to have and aunts and uncles. I love the old fashioned look. Today I will share a page or two with you and you can see how I do my background pages for heritage pages. Tomorrow I will share more and also getting back into the Belli Challenges. So for today here are two pages, hope you enjoy and get some ideas from these. When they are finished with pictures and stuff I will share again.

Do any of these look like wallpaper from the olden days?

Elfin' Magic

Here is another 3D item I made for Karen. This one was also fun. I bought a package of these snowmen and snowflakes and then made a topper for it.
Just cut your card stock to fit the item. Stamp with White Craft Ink the snowflakes. And whatever verse you want on it.
The elf now he was fun to make. I used a 1 1/4" Circle Punch for his face and used Flesh card stock. 1/4" Circle punch for his eyes you need two of these done in black, and then take the white gel pen and give some character to his eyes. His nose is also done with the 1/4" circle punch and I took some pink chalk and chalked his nose to add dimension and also chalked his cheeks. Drew on a smile for his mouth. His ears are done with a flower punch just cut two petals for his ears one for each side of his head of course. His hat is a 1 1/2" punch cut on the diagonal and the word punch is put on the bottom of that and attached to the top of his head. 1/2" punch for his pom pom on his cap. Then use two way glue pen on his rim of his cap and his pom pom add glitter and he is done. Very easy to make and they are so cute. Give one a try for yourself, they make cute toppers.
Hope you enjoyed the project.

Reindeer Card Holder

I know it has been a while since I posted. I had to put my Mom in the hospital again with dehydration and pneumonia and blood counts out of site. 2 days ago she had blood transfusions cause her hemoglobin was to low. She seems to be doing better so that is a good sign. She has had many test and most have come back good no cancer so that was a joy to hear. Waiting for results on a few more test yet.

Ok so on with the project. I have had these done for about a week now but didn't post them cause I wanted my Stocking Swap Partner to have to guess who I was. Must not of been real hard cause she guessed me right away. LOL We was to make 3-3D items and 3 cards and then add things from her wish list she had. Karen was easy as she loves embellishments so I got her a bunch of embellishments. And she collects Barbie Dolls so I got her a Barbie Doll for her collection. Her brother used to get her one every year for Christmas but sadly he had passed away, so I figured I would help out her brother this year and get her a Barbie.

Today's project is a Card Holder and it holds our A2 sized cards ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2). And they are so easy to do. I think you could fit a good 8 to 10 cards with envelopes in this little box. Make a nice gift for anyone.

Supplies used for the box:
Pale Plum for main box

Acetate for lid

Snowfall Stamp set

Staz-on White Ink Pad

Red Liner Tape

Here is Tracy's Video Tutorial on the Box. She gives you all the measurements and shows you how to make it in this video.

Now I added instead of the ribbon and band a Punched Reindeer. For him you will need the following:

Wide Oval Punch

Large and Small Oval Punch

Small Swirl Punch

Word Punch

1/2" Circle Punch for Nose

Close to Cocoa and Craft Card Stock

Black and White Card Stock

White Gel Pen

Black Marker

Ribbon

Scrap of designer paper for the Music Book he is holding.

Antlers are done in the craft card stock, you need 4 small swirls.

Head is done with the wide oval punch done in close to cocoa. The mouth is done in black with the small oval punch. Glue on and add a black line that will go up to his nose.

Nose is a 1/2" round punch and add a little mark on his nose with the white gel pen. Attach to head. Attach Antlers to head.

Body is done with the large oval punch in close to cocoa and the small oval punch with the white for his belly. Attach to head.

Punch 2 word punches in close to cocoa for his arms and add to reindeer body, fold over for his hooves.

Make a Music Book for this I just winged it as I had no pattern. Put a pop dot under the book and attach the hooves to the book.

The bottom part is a scrap piece of Pale Plum and the work Fa La La is a sizzix die. Punch out word and glue to the scrap piece of Pale Plum. Get some good adhesive for holding glitter and add to the the saying. Attach to the bottom of the reindeer.

Tie a ribbon around his neck for a bow tie.

Glue Reindeer to box using glue dots.

Such an easy and fun project to do. I will be making more of these.
