2 more funny lady REINDEER GAMES & UGLY SWEATER DRESS cards

I stamped two more of this hilarious lady stamp.  I colored up the solid red dress first and then thought I'd make an "Ugly Sweater Dress" one.  The papers are from a Simon Says Stamp kit that are not my favorites, so on the lady it went.  After coloring and paper piercing, I went to put some Wink of Stella on the Bells.. and my Wink of Stella pen threw up on the dress..  ahhhhhhh!!!  so I then had to put it all over the dress as well.  goodness sakes.. I was laughing while the whole mess was going on and my son wanted to know what I was doing.. I told him I was making a "hot mess!"

MFTWSC254 "HAPPY BIRTHDAY card

My card didn't turn out how I had planned, but after stamping the sentiment, the papers I had cut didn't fit.   I pulled out some thin Washi Tape from the EyeletOutlet.com and used them around the sentiment.

The Pure Innocence image was one that I had colored in a very long time ago. She was stamped on a piece of card stock with three others. I finally had a chance to use her on a card.   The Pure Innocence line of stamps from MFTstamps.com  are so cute.

"WANNA PLAY SOME REINDEER GAMES?" funny card

Yesterday my daughter and I drove about 160 miles round trip, to pick up a Versafine Black ink pad and a Zig Two Way Glue Pen.  .. I know, crazy, but I received my package of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and Waterbrush, however I forgot to order some ink.  We rode up and back. Thank goodness Michael's had them both in stock.  While there I spotted a stamp set that I just had to have, the images I used on this card are from the set.

I stamped the lady and then the tree onto some Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper, then colored them with my new pens. No blending. I colored the images as they are depicted on the packaging.  They were so much fun to color and so easy.  I put some Wink of Stella on the star, ornaments, her jingle bells and antlers.  

SUPPLIES:

card stock:  white, black, MFT Wild Cherry, Tim Holtz Watercolor paper
stamps:  Art Impressions SC0715 ~ there is no name on the packaging for the stamp set.
ink: Versafine black ink, Asst. Zip Clean Color Real Brush Markers, Wink of Stella
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, MFT Circle Stax and Pinking Circle Dies and Foam Tape

Inked, Stamped and Embossed Trees Card "HAPPY HOLIDAYS"

I have seen so many cards done using a new Stampin' UP! Woodlands embossing folder. I don't have the folder, so tonight I looked through my bin of folders that I kept with me and lucky me, I had this tree one.    

I purchased the embossing folders from Amazon.  It came in a two pack from We R Memory Keepers and the set was called:  

We R Memory Keepers Woodgrain Goosebumpz Embossing Folder, 2 Per Package

It is very easy to do this technique.  You first ink up the inside of your embossing folder that has the flat area with the light blue, then ink up the tree stamp in green and stamp it directly onto the folder where you inked it up in blue.. stamp it near to the bottom which will be the bottom of your piece of card stock.   You then lay a piece of card stock carefully onto the inked side of the embossing folder, close it up and run it through your machine.  I cut my white card stock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and then trimmed it down to 4" x 5 1/4", layered it onto a black piece of card stock and then only the white card base.      If you have a tree embossing folder, you should give it a try. 

                                

 This picture shows the Tree stamp I used, it is from Northwoods. I bought is many years ago at a stamp store in St. Ignace, MI in the Upper Peninsula ~ my favorite place to visit and one day hope to live there.


SUPPLIES:

card stock:  White, Black
stamps:  Northwoods Trees, Hero Arts October Monthly Hero Kit Sentiment
ink:  SU Bordering Blue, SU Always Artichoke and Hero Arts Green
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Avery Elle Pierced Banner die, We R Memory Keeper Embossing Folder and Foam Tape

"MERRY CHRISTMAS" Inlaid ~ Ink Embossed Christmas Card

I was up early this morning getting one off to school and the other off to her day program.  After they left, I sat down at my desk and was looking at a tub on the shelf full of embossing folders. I grabbed the one in front and decided to use it on a card.   Instead of just embossing a layer, I decided to take one of the mini Hero Arts ink pads that came in last month's Monthly Hero kits, rub it on the inside, insert a white piece of card stock and run it through my BigKick.   I just love how it turned out.    

I die-cut the "Merry" in white and green and inlaid the green on the white card stock.   I took the negative of the die-cut and laid it back over it and then used my Wink of Stella pen to brush the shimmery stuff onto the Merry.   I also put some Wink of Stella on the Poinsettia and leaves, I then used a Gold Sharpie for the center of the Poinsettia.

SUPPLIES:

card stock:  White, Red and Green
ink:  Hero Arts Reds/Greens, Gold Sharpie, Wink of Stella Clear Glitter
stamps:  Hero Arts Stamp & Cut Merry, Hero Arts Monthly Hero Oct. stamp set
accessories:  Scor-Pal, Hero Arts Monthly Hero Oct. Dies, Hero Arts Stamp & Cut Merry, Sizzix Embossing Folder Powdered Sugar, and Foam Tape
