Penguin Place

Here is a card I made for class using the Penguin Place stamp set last month.  I know that I CASE'd this idea from someone but I am not able to locate where.  To whoever it was, thank you for your creativity!  This penguin was made using the punch and then the eyes, beak, hat and scarf were created using the stamps.  Holly Jolly Wishes was used for the front sentiment and Sweet Stockings was used for the inside sentiment.

Nuts about Christmas Using Nuts About Squirrels

Here is what I visualized when I saw the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set - a little squirrel holding onto a Christmas present!  I used the Sweet Stockings stamp set for the gift and cut it down a bit in order to have it fit in his paws and not totally block his cute face.  I also used Scotch Tape to mask off "you" from the "nuts about you" and then used "Christmas" from the Banner Year stamp set.  Yep, here's that stamp set again!

For those of you who have been reading my blog since I started posting again with tutorials, I think I have figured out how to make the tutorials available without having to approve your request.  Hopefully they will work now and you can go back and grab any of the previous ones from their posts.

Nuts About Squirrels

This stamp set is one of the first ones I wanted from the Holiday Mini Catalog although the card I visualized using it is not this one.  This one I CASE'd from Cheryl Horvath because I thought it was so cute!  As always, I switched it up a bit but it is fairly similar to her creation.  Thanks Cheryl!  This card also uses the Banner Year stamp set for the little acorn.  See, I told you it was a versatile set in my last post!  Since I missed posting the first week of September, this week I will share two cards - on Friday I will be posting that card I originally visualized using this stamp set.

Festive & Bright

 

I don't create a lot of Halloween cards but one of my customers requested that I create one so here it is.  I used the Festive & Bright stamp set which is a versatile set for the last few months of the year as it has a Halloween stamp, a fall stamp and a Christmas stamp.  I also used Banner year on the inside of the card for the bat and the Happy Haunting sentiment - another versatile set!

Penguin Place and the Penguin Playmates Sale-a-Bration Paper

I love these little penguins and I knew that this set was on my wish list when I first saw it.  We weren't able to see the Sale-a-Bration offerings at the same time and when we finally did, I was excited that there was this coordinating paper.  I just love it!  With my ScanNCut, I was able to cut out a bunch of the little penguins, foxes and polar bears from one sheet to add to the inside of this card.

Sweet Stockings Filled With Puppies & Kitties

Puppies and kitties!  Who doesn't love puppies and kitties and don't they just make you smile?  Combine them with the holidays and you just can't feel sad.  I love that Stampin' Up! provided dies to cut out the stockings from the coordinating designer series paper but I used my ScanNCut so I could cut a full sheet out while working on the rest of the project.  I love how this card tucks into the bottom right

Merriest Moments Using the Alcohol & Blends Technique

I bet you have been seeing several people creating cards using the rubbing alcohol and blends marker technique.  Well, here is mine for you too!  Remember that you need to use 91% alcohol - the 70% alcohol won't work as well.  Also I found that you will get a different look depending upon how you apply the alcohol.

If you smooch (yes, a technical term) the alcohol onto the vellum by loading a paint brush with alcohol and then pressing down onto a spot, you will get larger spots like in my sample here.  Just remember not to get too much alcohol - otherwise you won't get the cool lines.  A little goes a long way.  Wait a bit between applications as the alcohol will move.

If you load your paint brush and then tap onto the side of your finger to splatter the alcohol, you will get a totally different look with smaller spots.  You can even do a combination of both!
