Carve your own stamps

Up until a year ago, (when he sadly died), I had a lovely elderly gentleman customer (Ivan) who (prior to being introduced to Stampin' Up!) used to carve his own stamps out of school erasers. They were absolutely amazing with intricate detail. I remember him fondly with the news that SU is introducing a kit to carve your own stamps. (Available Nov 15)

I bet Ivan is looking down on us and having a wee giggle over this:)

If you have ever wanted a stamp (hmm maybe a cat stamp?) that is not available, now you can make your own. You might even have a special family logo you could make a stamp for.

Christmas no 3

The third in the series of Christmas card I designed for recent classes.

A great way to use the negative space after you have die cut your sentiment (using Expressions Thinlit dies from new holiday mini catalogue). I sued the silver glimmer paper for the "merry" on a background of my favourite Bermuda Bay accented with a strip of silver ribbon and a small piece of 'foil accented' DSP from Winter Frost series from the new holiday catalogue.

2nd Christmas card

Another of the Christmas cards I designed for for Christmas Card classes;

You gotta love that Washi Tape. What a quick and easy way to make a card! Accented with Glimmer paper punched with the Mosaic punch.

Papillion

My sister commisioned me to make a punch art card as a thank you for a lady who owns a very special Papillion dog.

I used Stampin' Up! MDS digital programme to help me design the card and printed off some elements and cuttings others.

This is what I came up with.

This what I love about MDS, you can move things around, make them bigger or smaller, changes the colours etc and then you can still build it up 3 dimentionally. I put a string of rhinestones on his collar.

Christmas

I recently taught 5 Christmas cards of my own design. We managed to complete the 5 cards in a little over one and a half hours. Imagine how quickly any one of these cards could be made once you have the design, technique, and resources all to yourself?

Over the next 5 days I will blog each of my designs starting with...

I used the Joyful Christmas set and the Silver Encore ink from the new Holiday catalogue, three rhinestones (which I coloured with a marker) and finished with a mere strip of DSP  (Winter Frost)  along the bottom.
