Card using North Pole Mischief

 

Welcome to my blog. Been awhile since I last posted. Had a busy August getting ready for upcoming craft fairs. Sale-A Bration is over and I hope you were able to get some great products before it ended.

Even though Sale A Bration is over the Mini Catalog is live till December 22. Lots of cute Christmas stamps like the one I used for the above card. North Pole Mischief is appealing to both cat and dog lovers.

Materials and Directions :

- I used white cardstock for the card base 4-1/4x 5-1/2. To make the card base take an 8-1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and cut at 5-1/2 on the 11 side. Then fold in half.

- The red Polk a dot layer came from Sweet Christmas DSP. It’s cut at 4 x 5-1/4. I adhered this to the card front.

- The next layer is white cardstock that I cut using a die from my stash. I stamped and colored the image then adhered on top of the red. I used Adhesive backed Seasonl Sequins in the 4 corners.

I also got a new puppy.

 Welcome to my blog. These two stamp sets are so stinking cute. Great for birthday/ baby cards. I used  2 die sets from The Stamps Of Life to make the cards:

- I used the 3x3 card die set to make the card base. I used the layering die sets from this set to make the pattern layer then the other layer I cut out in white cardstock. I stamped the image on the white piece and colored using the blender markers. The images came from Stampin Up stamps from Elephant Parade and This Birthday Pig stamp sets. I adhered the layers to the card base as in the photo.

- The envelopes I made using The Stamps of Life 3x3 Envelope Die Set. This set also has a die to make the envelope liner.

Panda Bear card using Stampin Up Wild and Sweet stamp set

 Welcome to my blog. Today I’m sharing the panda card I made using the third image from the Wild and Sweet stamp set.

Materials and Directions 

-  For the card base I used Soft Seafoam cardstock. I cut out the card base using the Rounded Gatefold die set from the stamps of life. 

- I cut out the layering pieces from retired DSP using the dies from the set. 

- I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit and stamped the panda image. I made another image to use as a mask then blended around using blue inks. I then adhered to the card base as in the photo. 

- I made a belly band using the reversed side of the DSP. I cut out a green heart from glitter paper and glued on. 

Raccoon card using Stampin Up Wild and Sweet stamp set

 

Welcome to my blog. Another card from the Wild and Sweet stamp set this time using the raccoon image.

Materials and Directions 

- I used Early Espresso cardstock for the 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card base. To make the card base take the 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock and cut @ 5-1/2 on the 11 inch side. This gives you 2 card bases.

- I cut a piece of white cardstock and a piece of the Sun Print DSP @ 4x 5-1/4  for the layering pieces.

The white piece I used a blending brush and blue ink to color the back ground. To do this I first stamped the raccoon image. I made a mask of the raccoon and placed over the image before applying the blue ink. For the DSP I used the large layering diorama to cut out the center. I then adhered this to the white  cardstock and then adhered the whole thing to the card front.

Guy card using He’s The Man DSP

 With Father’s Day coming up I wanted to make more masculine type cards. I used He’s the Man DSP to make this simple card. I did not put a sentiment inside that way I could use it for the occasion I needed it for.

Materials and Directions:

- The card base is very vanilla cardstock. It is A2 in size(5-1/2 x 4-1/4)

- I used a piece of the DSP 4 x 5-1/4. I cut off 2 inches ( you can cut as much as you want ). I flipped on piece over then glued to the card front as in the picture. I cut I strip of gold metallic paper to cover the seam( 1/4 x 4).I then used a one of the cut outs from the DSP and attached using dimensionals.
