Swapping Saturday 12-20-08

I really wish I knew who to give proper credit to for this card. I believe it was a swap from Brandi Barnard’s meeting in October. I just think it is really cute and shows how you can use the punches on stamp sets that weren’t designed specifically for them. I believe this is actually the punch pals set though.

You probably can’t see it in the picture very well but she used crystal effects (I think) on the scarf the ornaments and the holly and nose. They are stamped on white glossy paper so they really shine and it’s very cute. The very merry and the snowflakes are embossed . It’s very cute and you did a great job. If anyone knows who did this card please let me know so I can give her proper credit.

Freewheeling Friday 12-19-08

I was going through some of my Holiday Decorations and discovered these two great frames I made last year. I thought I would share them with you today since the background was so simple to make. I just used the Versa Mark with our Bold Snowflakes Jumbo Wheel.

I know it’s really hard to see but it looks great in person. I’ve added a close up shot so hopfully you will be able to see the effect. The are really fun to put out for the holidays.

I really like the big one because I can change out the picture when I want to.

Goofy Punches

I just really love this card. I saw the saying and knew I had to make a Goofy to go with it. I actually just looked at a picture of Goofy and tried to figure out what shape were used then I decided what punches I had that could make the shapes. I actually used the coluzzle for the chin, but that was before we had the new wide oval punch which I think would work now.

Here is a list of all the punches that I used:

Chin & Mouth- Wide Oval, Large Oval, Large oval for tongue
Teeth- 3/4″ Square with 3/16″ Corner Rounder
Nose- Large Oval, Small Oval, Word Window
Head & Eyes- Key Tag, Large Oval, Slit Punch
Hair & Ears- Large Oval
Hat- Small Oval, Large Oval, Key tag

I think that’s everything. I hope you like him I thought he turned out cute.

Technique Tuesday 12-16-08

Rolling with the Punches

This is the technique my club member learned last week. You will be able to see more samples in the club page. I got this technique from Laura Fredrickson you can see her complete tutorial by clicking here. I had a lot of fun with and thought it was a great technique. I actually found it months ago and have been waiting for Christmas to show it. The basic technique is to use your punches to make a template then roll your wheel over the template so you only get part of your images. Then you can trace around them or use sponge daubers to fill them in. If you want to see the step by step instructions you can check out Laura’s site. Here is just one of the fun cards we made. Be sure to check out the other card and Scrapbook pages under clubs.

Stampin’ Sunday 12-14-08

I really wanted to try using one of the great snowflakes from the mini catalog on a project. I thought it would be fun to put it on a pictures frame. I really loved how this turned out. I have to admit the picture really helps too. This is my little Xander last year. We called him Xander Claus. The picture was taken by JC Penny Photography.

Swapping Saturday 12-13-08

Sorry this is late. This is a 3D swap that I got from convention. It was created by Tammy Johnson. I love how she used the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper to create a Christmas Project. She also used the Deer Friends Level 2 hostess set.

I also love that the cute box hold 4 Christmas cards with envelopes. The cards are actually the Note Cards which are a smaller size. They are 5 x 3 1/2. Just perfect for giving with a gift. I hope you enjoyed this swap and be watching for more. Thanks Tammy for your great project.
