Stampin Up Pinwheel Sizzlit Card

Stampin Up Pinwheel Sizzlit Card

Hiya Stampers!!  Here is my first creation using the Pinwheel sizzlit from Stampin Up! that just arrived on Monday.  I *finally* tidied up my work table and had some time to sit down and tinker…. only to make another gigantic mess creating this card  😛

This is the first of many I suspect, as what I had in my mind isn’t exactly how it turned out – but it was still cute enough so I decided to keep it.  I wanted to put a banner or bunting across the top – but I don’t have the pennant punch… So I improvised and used the petite curly label punch instead.  I think it would have looked more like I wanted if I had of put a few more layers of bakers twine and bows at the end?!

Guess I will have to get to the work table tonight and find out huh?

materials used:

  • Baja breeze card stOck (base)
  • Stampin Up Pinwheel
  • Subtles patterned DSP
  • Whisper White
  • Dots Embossing folder

I have been so busy with life the last week I *finally* got to sit down at the crafty table! *does the happy dance*

I just got my Sale-A-Bration goodies and I thought I would tinker with a technique that I will be using in one of my workshops. I don’t know what it’s called – bit when done correctly it gives the appearance of movement to an image

Here is what I made:

I cropped the background out (read: my messy craft table)- so it’s hard to see the crumb cake sponged edges that add to the vintage look & feel of this stamp set.

This was my first attempt with this technique & this stamp set so I think I will have another go at it… Tomorrow

Until later Stampers

Does the owl punch ever get boring?! I freakin LOVE this punch!! So many different uses, for the owl alone!  Not coutning the different critters you can make using the shapes from the punch.  Penguins, bears, devils – you name it, someone has figured out how to make it with the owl punch.  I have a whole board on Pinterest dedicated to it!  Check it out:  Owl Punch

I belong to two groups on Facebook that are about sharing ideas & examples of Stampin Up! cards and creations. Friends of Stampin Up hosted a swap this month, with a “friendship” theme.  Here is the card I made for the swap:

Adventure #1: Waiting for the UPS driver

Why is it that when you’re eagerly awaiting a package it always is the last one on the delivery route?! *giggle* I swear, I was checking the door to my apartment, and the foyer entrance door every half an hour to make sure I didn’t miss the driver somehow. Pacing to the window and everything!! It was kind of funny in a crazy way now that I look back on it. >_<

I got the box and ripped it open, it was like Christmas!! I immediately started tinkering with what I had gotten.

Using the “Kindness Matters” stamp set, I made this really pretty butterfly card.  I must give credit to Tami White for the inspiration and tips on how to use clear mount stamps. You can view her video tutorial here: http://youtu.be/NB8RkC-4XAA

It was her tip on how to..ahem… “separate” (cut)  :O clear mount stamps so that you can use single images.   That is how I was able to stamp the butterflies vertically.
