Born to Stamp.

Another card for the Gingersnaps “Once in a Blue Moon” challenge.
For some reason, I got it in my head… “Wonder if the labels would stay in place if I embossed them”? Kinda like Cuttlebug Highlights. Needless to say it worked.
My stamps are from; Born to Stamp, Limited Edition and coffee cup is from Hero Arts, and Rubber Stamp is from Crafty Secrets.

Thanks for stopping.

Once in a Blue Moon Challenge SP #6,

Over at Gingersnaps Creations is our “Once In A Blue Moon”, challenge and you can pick your challenge. So when I saw that Sharon chose Office Labels I said I have not done these in ages….
Therefore, here is my challenge piece. I used the 5/8” x 7/8” labels and Tim Holtz’s Distress inks. My stamps are from Crafty Secrets.

The punch is from Martha Stewart, “Embroidered Floral” and some lace and rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping in, and I would love to see your creations. Due Date is Jan.25.2011.
Have fun with this challenge.

The boots and holly are colored with Copic Markers, I added my

tick. I used Cuttlebug Plus “Elegant Ellipse: embossing fold to cut the center oval in the card. Using my Spellbinder Long Oval dies, I cut a frame to hold the boots.
For the inside of the card I repeated the oval frame and added, “Have A Boot-iful Holiday Season” and small Holly. Colored with Copic”s.

Have a great day, thanks for stopping in today.

Cuttlebug Smoosh Christmas Cards

From October 2007 newsletter come these Cuttlebug Smoosh cards.
I made these (12) in all for our stamping group and in real life, the colors are much softer and easier on the eye.

I’m using a new Cuttlebug Embossing plate that cuts and embosses all in one pass.
I’m not sure the size of this one, but it fits right inside an A2 card.
My graphics are from Moonlight, The Graphic Fairy and Clearly Vintage.



Thanks so much for stopping in.
