Christmas Ornament Re-Do

It's my week over at the Sisters in Stamping blog and I picked Christmas ornaments for today's fabulous Friday post. Here is my ornament--

I was wandering around the Internet and found this post. I tweaked her idea a bit and made it my own. I used the stamp set called Seasonal Chums. You can purchase the ornaments here and I bought the the "snow" at the Dollar store-- I think those little styrofoam balls are used to fill bean bag chairs.

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉 

Love to Color?

Do you? 'Cause if you do, you will love the new trend at Stampin' Up! Lots of ways to color stamped images and nice bold lined stamps to color. Here is my card for today's Sisters in Stamping post--

Used the Stampin' Blend markers to color my poinsettia, Flirty Flamingo and Shaded Spruce. There is a little bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter thrown in there and the new Embossing Folder called Subtle.

See you next week!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉

Blast from the Past

Breaking out my very first stamp set I purchased today in honor of Stampin' Up!s 30th Anniversary! Here is my card for today--

This is some real vintage rubber here folks!! This stamp set is called Little by Little and it debuted in 1994. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

Happy Stamping! Karla 😉

Christmas Ribbons

Hello! Our challenge this week at the Sisters in Stamping blog is ribbon, here is my card--

 I was cruising around Pinterest last week and spotted this pin. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to use ribbon on cards and I thought this was very clever!

Unlike the ribbon that was used in the pin the Striped Burlap Ribbon (#147889, pg. 13 Holiday Mini Catalog) that I've used on this card needed more than adhesive to stay pleated, hence the gold brad. I pierced a hole through the bow I made with the framelit all the way through the ribbon layers and opened the brad on the back, worked like a charm!

Come back next week to see some fun retro projects the Sisters will be sporting!

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉 

CASE'ing the Holiday Mini

Our duties this week at the Sisters in Stamping blog are to CASE a card from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Here is my card--

I used the So Santa stamp set and markers to color in my Santa. I really like everything about this set, the little Santa's are so cute and I love the font SU! used with the wording. The card I CASE'd is on page 23 of the Mini, top right hand corner. I did make some changes...I made it into a full card and I used another Santa from the set.

Hopefully we will see you next week, we're going to be doing Shaker Cards.

Happy Stamping, Karla 😉

Embellishments

Well hey there! The Sisters in Stamping are talking about their favorite embellishments this week. Here is my project--

I would have to say that my very favorite embellishment is ribbon. Not just any old way to use ribbon, but I'm always looking for new, unique and clever ways to use ribbon! You have got to go over to the Sisters blog and check out what the other girls are showing.

Thank-you for coming by. Happy Stamping, Karla 😉

Thank-you Friend!

Friendship Day at the Sisters in Stamping blog, here is my project for today--

I found these retro soda bottle wax candy here, fun & colorful! I paired it with the stamp set called Bubble Over, #145868 $17.00 The wax bottles are attached to a piece of cardstock and placed in a clear envelope. Also, I used white Classic Weave Ribbon, #144159, $7.00 which is 

new to the catalog this year. 

Do you remember wax candy growing up? I do! Everything old is new again... I guess 

we all need to return to our childhood!

Go over to the Sisters site to see the more fun friend projects.

Jennifer's Sketch

Here is my card for this week--

The picture of this card just does not do it justice, the colors just pop off it in real life. The sunflower is a 3 step stamp from a stamp set called Painted Harvest. I used Petal Pink, Grapefruit Grove and Gray Granite... an unlikely color combination-- but it turned out really nice!

Really sad to see this stamp set retire!!
