Wonderland and Organza Ribbon

I received this beautiful card when I attended Brian King's World Card Making Day event in October, 2015.  It was made by Colleen Dewey, a SU demonstrator in Newnan, Georgia. You can visit her Stampin' Up! website Here.  I have not CASEd her card yet, though, I did want to share her talents with you.

Colleen made her card like this:

-She stamped the trees with Soft Suede ink, leaving space to stamp again in Smoky Slate ink.  Make sure you clean your stamp before changing ink colors.

-Next, she stamped the trees in Versamark ink.

-Sprinkled the trees with Heat & Stick powder, and heated the powder using a heat gun.  Don't overheat, you want the image to still be tacky.

-Next, she sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over the image, and heated until dry.  Don't overheat or your image will burn.

-Colleen died a piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon, by dabbing it in the Soft Suede ink.  Make sure you let it dry, maybe an hour or so.

-Corner round the edges, if you prefer.

-Stamp the words in Soft Suede ink, and you're done.

December 2015 Hostess Club Project-Wonderland Shaker Card

The card I posted yesterday was a spinning tree card.  Today's card shakes.  My hostess club members will be making this card at our meeting coming up this Thursday, December 3, 2015.  So you might say they will be shakin' and spinnin'.   Shaker cards are so easy, and fun to make, and if you want to see a "how to" video, just look for "Shaker cards" on YouTube.  There are many from which you can choose.   

To make my card:

-I first embossed snowflakes with white embossing powder on a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Night of Navy card-stock.  

-I next glued a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Vellum to the embossed Night of Navy piece by putting glue dots on the centers of my embossed snowflakes.  

-Next I cut my circle using the 5th die from the largest of the Circle Framelits Dies.  The circle is actually 2 7/8".  

-I used Tombow liquid glue to adhere the Silver Glimmer circle edge to my Vellum/Cardstock.  To get the Silver Glimmer thin circle, I nested the 4th and 5th (from the largest) Circle Framelits Dies together and cut using the Big Shot.  

-I glued with Tombow liquid glue, a Stampin' Up! 3 1/2 square window sheet to the back of my embossed Night of Navy piece.

-I next glued foam adhesive (not dimensionals) to the back of the window sheet, following the circle opening.

-I next stamped the trees from Wonderland using Night of Navy ink onto a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock.

-I then sprinkled chunky clear glitter (I had this left over from my To You & Yours Shaker Project Kit) on the stamped trees.  You can actually use SU's Silver Glass Glitter, or Dazzling Diamonds, they both would work just fine.

-Next, I removed the paper covering from the foam adhesive circle and placed the Night of Navy/Vellum piece over the stamped tree image.

-I put dimensionals on the back of my completed card front and adhered it to my 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Night of Navy, which I had scored at 5 1/2.

-I used a die from the Project Life Framelits collection for the words, which came from Versatile Christmas, and stamped them in Real Red ink.

December, 2015, Hostess Club Project, Festival of Trees Spinner Card

Today's card spins.  Yes, that's right, a spinner card.  All of my hostess club members will be making this card at our meeting coming up this Thursday, December 3, 2015.   Spinner cards are so easy, and fun to make, and if you want to see a "how to" video, just look for "Spinner cards" on YouTube.  There are many from which you can choose.   

My tree is connected to the card with clear stretch cord, or you can use beading elastic, which can be purchased from any craft store.  I cut my circle using the Circle Framelits, the 5th die from the largest.  Easier than you might think. 

Here are the dimensions of the card stock for this card:
Mossy Meadow base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, folded at 4 1/4
Merry Moments DSP layer is 5 1/4 x 4
Real Red layer (base for words) is 3 3/4 x 1
Whisper White layer for words is 3 1/2 x 3/4

Traveler, World Map and Cottage Greetings

I have the privilege to stamp and make cards with other SU demonstrator friends every other month, and Dorriea Murphy, part of my group, and one of my very talented downline, designed this card for our gathering.  I liked it so much, I have decided to offer it at all of my December 8, December 10, and December 12, 2015 classes.  

Here are the dimensions of the card stock for this card:
Basic Black base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, folded at 4 1/4
Very Vanilla layer is 5 1/4 x 4
Tip Top Taupe layer 5 x 3 3/4
Basic Black layer for the World Map base is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
Very Vanilla layer for the World Map stamp is 3 x 3
Very Vanilla piece for the greeting is 3 x 3/4

I used Tip Top Taupe to stamp the World Map on the 3" square of Very Vanilla, and I stamped the ship from Traveler in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I stamped the words from Cottage Greetings in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and sponged the edges with Tip Top Taupe.  I used the Boho Chic embossing folder to give my card an extra layer look without actually adding an extra piece of card stock.  Clever, huh?  Thank you Dorriea for sharing.

• Bermuda Bay vertical layer is 1 1/2 x 3 3/4.
• Whisper White vertical layer 1 3/8 x 3 1/2.
