Monday's 3-D Challenge using Charming

Morning and welcome to my blog!

Today's share is the 3-D challenge I posted over on the Stampin' Addicts site! Click on the link if you would like to visit this awesome site! http://www.stampinaddicts.com/ Head on over there is a lot of different challenges posted each week!!! If your a demo be sure to sign up for the demo forums too! The challenge was to make this 3x3 Card Pouch!

The stamp set I picked was from our Holiday Mini and it is called Charming item #116519. When I first saw this set this was one that went on my list of must haves!! This set was designed to go with our Simply Adorned Charms but I knew I could make other wonderful projects with it!

It is perfect for this project and for 3x3 cards!!

Directions~

1. Cut 1 piece of card stock 4 1/4"x11", score it at 5", 5 1/2" and 6". Fold on the scored lines. Take the Word Window Punch and punch through at the top one side at a time. This is to make your handle. Note once you punch one side use it to line up the other side. I used Rich Razzleberry for the main part.

2. Cut 1 piece of card stock 4 1/4"x4" I used Old Olive and then distressed the edges with the cutter kit.

3. Cut 1 piece of card stock 4"x3 3/4" I used Crushed Curry and then distressed the edges with the cutter kit.

4. Cut 1 piece of card stock 3 1/4" x 4" I used Very Vanilla. I stamped the script in Crushed Curry. Then took the damask looking stamp and stamped it in Old Olive and then rolled the edges in Rich Razzleberry classic ink. This is called the Rock n Roll Technique. I punched out a piece of Rich Razzleberry with the Word Window Punch and placed a vintage brad in it. I took 1/2 polka-dot Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon and flipped it over and used the back side with out the polka-dots. Using the Cutter Kit I distressed the edges. At the top I took some of our Mistletoe ribbon and tide through the handle.


If you would like to purchase the supplies I used to make this project or place an order you can place an order HERE, email or call me to!!




To create this little medallion I punched out a piece in Old Olive using the Scallop Circle Punch. I then punched out a piece in Rich Razzleberry using the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. I stamped the image in Old Olive on Very Vanilla card stock and then punched that out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. I stamped the butterfly in Crushed Curry and rolled the edges in Rich Razzleberry. Again doing the Rock n Roll Technique. I punched this out with the 1/2" circle punch and placed it on one of our Build-A-Brads Pewter. I placed this in the center and put a dimensional on the back to pop it up on the front.



On the inside I took a medium cello bag and placed my 3x3 cards inside. I folded it over and secured it with two silver brads.


Here are the 3x3 cards I created to go inside!

Christmas card using Serene Snowflakes

Wowzier can you believe it??? Its Nov. 1st!! Were did Oct. go?? Morning and welcome to my blog! Hope you all survived the trick or treaters last night. :)

The card I am sharing today is another Christmas card that we did at my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack! This we used two stamps sets to create! We used Serene Snowflakes item #115438 and Heard from the Heart item #111644. Have I told you all how much I love snowflakes?? This set is from our Holiday Mini, you have until Jan. 4th to purchase this set!

I love using browns for Christmas, just love the warm feeling! So I used Soft Suede card stock for my base. Next I cut a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and stamped the little snowflake randomly all over with Sahara Sand classic ink. At the bottom I used the greeting from Heard from the Heart and stamped that in Soft Suede classic ink. I cut a piece of our Specialty Designer Series Paper Christmas Cocoa, I used the Eyelet Border punch on one side of it. Took some Kraft Taffeta ribbon and ran that around the middle. I cut a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and stamped the Snowflake in Soft Suede classic ink. I used the ticket punch on all four corners. Then layered it on a piece of Soft Suede card stock. I took the mat pat and paper piercer and punched a hole in the center of the snowflake and placed one of our vintage brads in the center. I put dimensionals on the back and popped it up on the card.

Christmas card using Winter Post

Morning and welcome to my blog! Happy Halloween!! Sorry I haven't posted the last few days. My husband went in for knee surgery on Wed. again and I've been a little busy with him! You know what big babies they are! lol He has been a pretty good patient a few times he got a little cranky but I would be to! lol

The card I am sharing today is another one that we made at my Christmas Stamp-A-Stack! I made this into a pocket card.

To create this I used 2 stamps sets, Winter Post item #111780 and Many Merry Messages item #116586.

To create the pocket card, I cut a piece of card stock at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" I scored it at 4 1/4". Next I scored one of the sides at 1 1/2" and rounded the corners on just the little flap. I cut a piece of Whisper White to put under the flap at the bottom. I took some of our Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper and added little strip to the flap and on the bottom. I love this paper!! The bottom piece is flocked paper!!! It is sooo yummy!! Now you want to make sure to tape down your flap. Take some of our Silver elastic Cord and wrap around twice, and tie a not in the center. This is what holds the pocket card together!

I took the Winter Post Stamp set and used the Do not open till Dec. 25 stamped that in Real Red classic ink on Shimmer White card stock, and then cut it out with scissors. I used the Designer Label Punch and punched out a piece in Real Red card stock to go behind it. Next I took the 1 3/8 circle punch and punched out a piece in Whisper White card stock. Then using the Scallop Circle Punch I punched out a piece in Real Red Card stock. I took the 1/16 hand punch to the scallops. Then layered them all together and placed a dimensional on the back and put it over the knot that was made with the Silver Elastic Cord.

If you would like to purchase the supplies I used to make this project or place an order you can place an order HERE, email or call me to!!



For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock at the top I took Season's Greetings from Many Merry Messages stamp set, stamped it in Real Red classic ink and then stamped the edges with the snowflake from Winter Post in Real Red classic ink too.


Supplies Used~
Stamp Set~ Winter Post, Many Merry Messages
Ink~Real Red
Paper~ Whisper White, Shimmer White, Real Read, Designer Series Paper Christmas Cocoa
