Cards for a Soldier

I had a friend ask me to make some cards for a soldier she has been corresponding with.  Of course I said I would do it!  Of course I had to make something a little more manly than I normally do.  

Here are two of the cards I created.

 This first card was using the stamp set The Open Sea.  The card base is Night of Navy and then the other two layers craft card stock from Papertrey Ink.   The second layer of craft card stock I used a sponge and Night of Navy ink to sponge over the card stock. Next I stamped on top of that.  I did the same technique on the circle punched craft card stock that was used on the layers.  I used some ribbon and stamped Hello in a window punch piece of craft card stock.

On this card I used some Red Riding hood paper and a layer of Night of Navy with white stars glued on it.  I then sent it through the Cuttle bug to emobss it.  I then stamped the Land of the Free stamp using Red Riding Hood and Night of Navy for the stars and words.  It was layered with a piece of blue and red that I distressed a little bit.

Have a good day!

Halloween Candy bag

Every year I create some sort of treat bag for my preschoolers.  This year I haven't had the time to create bags but put these together.  I used some Cello bags from Stampin Up filled them with Smarties.  I then used a scallop square punch and punched out some Halloween designer paper.  Then I used another color paper and used the 1 1/4 inch square punch.  I then stamped images using the Spooky Bingo Bits and punched it out using the 1 inch punch.

I think they turned out pretty cute, take a look and decide for yourself!

September Stamp Club

What a busy month!  Started back to work and have been busy making items for the classroom.  Finally got most of that done.  It sure was a great stress reliever to be able to go to Stamp Club and make some cards.  Here they are:

Have a great week!

The challenge continues

I finally finished making cards for all my Papertrey Ink stamp sets that I own.  That took longer than I thought it would take.  But I did get carried away making boards and other things for my classroom which I go back in one week.  UGH

The next part of my challenge is to use all of my Stampin Up stamp sets.  All these cards used Stampin Up materials.  If anyone is interested in buying any Stampin Up materials I did sign up to be a demonstrator so ask me how!

For the teachers

There was a teacher stamp set on Papertrey Ink and of course I had to buy it.  This weekend I made some cards using this set.

 I had some card bases from the grab bag from Stampin Up the first one is a regular card size using 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper cut in half and folded.  The layer is kraft stock paper from Papertrey Ink and it was cut at 5 1/4 by 4 inches.  I stamped it with one of the apple bases from the stamp set called Teacher's apple.  I used real read from Stampin Up to stamp across the kraft cardstock paper then used glorious green ink from Stampin Up to stamp the stem and leave.  I stamped the sentiment in black and real read on white cardstock that was cut at 2 1/4 by 3 1/2.  The red is Real Red by Stampin up and it's cut at 2 1/2 by 3 3/4.  I used dimensional dots to give it a 3-D look.  The yellow bow on the top is some yellow ribbon I had left over.

 

This card is pretty much the same except that the card was a three inch by three inch card.  The kraft cardstock was then cut at 2 3/4 by 2 3/4 inch and stamped with a different apple base.  The real red layer on the rectangle was cut at 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch.  The white layer was cut at 1 and 2 1/4 inch.

I plan to use these cards to send home to parents through out the year.
