Snowboarding II – Tutorial #295

30 Comments January 13, 2010 zindorfstamps

Put away Christmas Decorations, Check. Re-pot house plants, Check. Replace 3 throw rugs the dogs tore up in your absence, Check. Give the dogs a stern lecture about the new throw rugs as they sit smiling at you, Check! Well that is a bit how my day has went. Thank goodness I have my stamp room to retreat to.

Ready for today’s tutorial, I sure am, LOL.

You know how your project turns out when you get stray embossing powder on it and heat it that way, yuck. Well this project uses embossing powder in that manner, but on purpose. See the snow coming off of this snowboarders board. 🙂 Hang out a few moments and check it out.

Let’s get started. . . . . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Extreme Snowboarding

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Black, Not Quite Navy and Stampin’ Up Designer Paper

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Bordering Blue, Bashful Blue

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponges, Brayer, Stamp-a-ma-jig, clear embossing powder, heat gun, Versamark Pad, White Gel Pen, Not Quite Navy brads, Photo Corner Punch

Sponged a bit of Versamark on a 3.5″ x 5″ Piece of Whisper White card stock. Put clear embossing powder on the card stock. Held the card stock up to a lamp and brushed a bit of the embossing powder off. I wanted it to look scattered a bit, not bit bloaches. Heated the embossing powder with a heat gun. I know you cannot see where I put the Versamark or the Clear embossing powder. You will be able to see it appear in the next photo.

Brayered Bashful Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock and brayered almost to the top of the cardstock.

Ripped some mountain shapes into a post it note and used it as a mask to create my mountains.

Sponed Bordering Blue ink in the unmasked area.

Moved the post it note mask and Sponge Not Quite Navy ink to create the second line of mountains.

Moved the post it note mask a third time and sponged Night of navy ink for the third line of mountains.

Swiped the ink from the heat embossing with an old cotton towel.

Used a Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement and stamped the Extreme Snowboard stamp in Basic Black ink.

Used the post it note mask for a fourth time and added a hill by sponging Basic Black ink on the right lower corner.

Added White Gel Pen to a couple of the mountain peaks.

Ripped the top off of the main image panel. Assembled card front and added Basic Black Photo Corner Punches and Not Quite Navy Brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May you have a stress free day!

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Hugs,

Michelle

Pond Skating Greeting – Tutorial #287 and Ink Pads Winner

10 Comments December 14, 2009 zindorfstamps

Good morning, good morning, good morning. I am posting this and then I will run off to finish my Christmas shopping. I just have one person left to buy for, my Mother. My mother is the hardest one to buy for. Especially since when you ask her what she would like for Christmas she gives you answers such as a Million Dollars, new car, new brain, lol. We finally got a list from her so I will be able to finish all my shopping and hopefully wrap everything too.

Today’s tutorial is a holiday card. I am sure you all have your cards all made and in the mail to the lucky recipients. 🙂 Me, I am still plugging along. Just when I think I am all done, I think of someone that I missed. I sent out around 150 cards. Postage is a killer, lol. Enough whining from me. I have a announcement to make!

The winner of the Stampin’ Up ink pads is. . . . . . . . . . .

Sandy S, TN who wrote “I would love to make a home for the inks, right now our funds are pretty tight and that would be a wonderful Christmas present (for me). Our family has agreed not to exchange gifts this year and just be glad for what we have. So thank you for the chance to receive your ink gift.”

Congrats Sandy S! Please e-mail your mailing address to me at mzindorf@aim.com and I will pop these homeless pads into the mail to you.

Thanks everyone for playing along. 🙂

One more thing, I updated my Travel photo page finally. Thanks to everyone that has sent me photos from my brayer workshops they attended. Here is a link if you want to check it out: http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/travel-photos/

Or you can access it from the tab “Travel Pics” at the top of my blog.

Now on with today’s tutorial .. . . . . . ..

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Winter Post, Many Merry Messages

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise and Brilliant Blue

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Brilliant Blue, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise Brads, Photo Corner Punch, Markers – Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Blush Blossom, Creamy Caramel and Sahara Sand, White Gel Pen, Brayer, Versamark Pad and Marker, Sponges, Post it Notes, Piercing Tool

The new Stampin’ Up! 43 page Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog will be out January 5, 2010. E-mail me your address if you want a set for free and you are a resident of the USA. If you are a customer of mine you will automatically get a set from me. 🙂

On a 4.5″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White card stock, stamped the Sentiment using Versamark only. Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamped the skaters by first loading my stamp with Versamark and then Basic Black ink before stamping it. Heat embossed the skaters using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Masked the bottom of the card stock with post it notes, leaving about 1″ of the card stock showing at the top. Sponged Not Quite Navy ink in the un-masked area.

Sponged Night of Navy ink right at the post it note edge to darken the horizon line.

Added Pretty in Pink marker to the skaters.

Added Real Red marker to the skaters.

Added creamy Caramel marker the male skater.

Added Sahara Sand marker to the skaters.

Colored in the girls collar and cuffs with Pretty in Pink and Real Red markers.

Colored the skater’s faces in with Blush Blossom marker.

Colored over the skaters with a Versamark marker, being very careful to stay within the embossed lines. Also it helps to start with the light areas first and work your way to the dark areas, cleaning your Versamark marker tip often. This helps keep the areas from bleeding into one another.

Heat embossed the skates using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Tore some post it notes and masked the sky and snow areas.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink into the pond area.

Added Brilliant Blue ink to the top of the pond area.

Using a torn post it note, sponged Tempting Turquoise ink at the torn edge of the post it note to create hills in the snow area.

Masked the sky area with post it notes and sponged Tempting Turquoise ink at the post it note edge to add color to the top of the snow area.

Added the line from the greeting to the skaters skate using a White Gel pen. Also added a few dots in the sky.

Added Tempting Turquoise and Brilliant Blue Panels. Also Added two large Whisper White photo corner punches.

Added Tempting Turquoise Brads to the photo corner punches using a piercing tool to start the brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″

Before I close for today I want to share with you something I received from my friend, Gail Emmons but it was written by Linda Payne. Gotta love it! This is not just a recipe, lol.

Cranberry Bread
By Linda Payne
Quick Recipe:
Grab a box of Pillsbury Mix while at local grocery store. Rush home.
Pull out loaf pan and turn on oven, break open box and dump contents into a bowl. Add eggs, oil and water per box.
Mix by hand – who wants to clean beaters – until all is moist. Pour batter into loaf pan, dump bowl and spoon into sink.
Set oven timer for time on box…ask hubby to carry in the rest of the groceries!

Long Recipe
Get all dressed up. Have your hair and nails done. Go shopping with a friend. On the way home make short stop at local grocery store (a one bag stop and include box of quick bread). Call hubby and let him know you’re making him something special when he gets home…if he’s already home – perfect! Once home – change into something comfy and cute and give hubby a wink… because you’re making him something special!
Pull out your Kitchen Aid mixer…turn on some music. Bring out your eggs, oil, measuring cups…put on an apron…give hubby a wink…because you’re making him something special!!
Turn on oven; prepare your loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick spray. Pour contents of box into mixer bowl. Add oil – start mixer on slow…watch it for a few seconds…turn it off. Carefully add eggs – start mixer on slow…watch it for a few seconds…turn it off (is hubby watching? send him a wink! because you’re making him something special!)
Carefully measure and add the water…..start mixer on slow…watch it for a few seconds…turn it off. Scrape your bowl…turn mixer on and let it mix for two minutes…check oven. Throw away box, egg shells, and wash measuring cup – put away oil.
Stop mixer. Scrape bowl …slowly pour batter into loaf pan and scrape mixer bowl. Put loaf pan in oven. Light a candle or two… (Is hubby watching…send him a wink! because you’re making him something special!)
If kids are in bed or away…you should have his attention by now…would suggest setting the timer in case you are “distracted”…but if you’re at my house… I’ve ditched the apron and have begun stamping and need to hear the buzzer so I don’t burn up my “something special for hubby”!!! who is so engrossed in the Andy Griffith show for the umpteenth thousand time that he doesn’t even realize how hard I just worked on the Long Recipe!
Ladies, you decide which recipe you prefer! LOL

May you be blessed today!

Huge Hugs and Happy Holidays,

Michelle

Using a Basic Black marker, colored in the part of the image that I wanted to stamp and then huffed my breath on it and stamped it on a 4″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Added some Bravo Burgundy marker to the dark parts of his clothing.

Added Real Red marker to his clothing.

Colored his face in with a Blush Blossom marker.

Added Pretty in Pink marker to his cheeks.

Colored his boots and belt in with a Basic Black marker.

Added some Sahara Sand marker to the darker places in his beard and cuffs.

Oops! Just seen that I colored the white fur on the bottom of his coat red. Never fail, added some white gel pen to the bottom of this coat.

Used a heat gun and heated up the image to set the markers.

Colored over the image using a Versamark marker. Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun. Now the image is protected from further applications of ink (emboss resist).

Tore a bit off the top of a post it note and used it to mask my snow in my scene.

Stamped the flourish using Versamark only. Heat embossed the flourish using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig, Over stamp the Flourish by loading my stamp with Versamark and then Tempting Turquoise ink before stamping it.

Heat embossed the flourish using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink at the top of the card stock.

Wiped the emboss images off with a cotton towel or a paper towel. I use an old dish towel. Trying to stay green. 🙂 Do this after each application of ink.

Brayered Not Quite Navy at the top of the card stock, not covering all of the Tempting Turquoise ink.

Sponged Not Quite Navy ink at the post it note edge to darken the horizon line.

Stamped the line of trees using Not Quite Navy ink only. Wiped off the embossed images.

Moved the post it note down and added two hills by sponging Tempting Turquoise ink at the post it note edge.

Created texture in Santa’s beard by streaking White Gel pen on it.

Using a heat gun, heated the embossed images again to bring back the shine and to set the white gel pen.

Added a shadow for Santa by sponging Tempting Turquoise ink under him.

I learn things from my workshop students all the time. Recently I learned from some smart ladies in Portland, Michigan, when you scrap a sponge full of ink against the card stock edge it is called “Whacking”, lol. Sorry, when I say whacking it reminds me of watching the Sapranos. Anyhow, I whacked the edges of the main image panel and a 5″ x 6.5″ panel of Real Red using Basic Black ink. I like to put dark ink around the edges of my panels. This saves me from putting a dark panel behind them.

Using my Stamp-a-ma-jig, stamped the sentiment using Basic Black ink.

Punched two Curly Labels from Basic Black card stock and folded each one in half.

Assembled the card, added the punched labels and Gold Brads.

Here is the completed card that measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

Have you been good this year? You know he is watching!

I realize this post has been long, but I have one more thing to share with you. This was sent to me by my Aunt Nancy. She said it remindered her of me since I travel so much and live by my GPS system.

Question:
What do you get when you mix PMS with GPS? Answer:
A crazy witch who WILL find you!
Do you think my Aunt is trying to tell me something, lol.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Michelle

Chilly Waterfront – Tutorial #283

27 Comments December 2, 2009 zindorfstamps

Life is a bit more on the normal side for me this month since I will not be traveling any. My husband is so use to me being gone a lot he may just kick me out around mid December, lol.

December! I cannot believe it is December already. Yesterday I did some Fall clean up in my perennial gardens and it was in the 50’s. I was wearing a light jacket for Pete’s sake. Now today we are suppose to get snow showers. That is okay with me since I don’t have to get out and drive any where.

Maybe the snow will get me in the mood to do some Christmas shopping. How many of you are now doing their Christmas shopping on line? Personally, I like to go to the stores and shop. Anyhow, knowing we are going to see some snow fall today put me in the mood for this chilly card.

Let’s get started. . . . . . . . . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Bird on a Branch and Serene Snowflakes

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Bashful Blue and Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Bordering Blue and Bashful Blue

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Bashful Blue Brads, piercing tool, Brayer, Modern Label Punch, White Gel Pen, Versamark pad, clear embossing powder, heat gun, sponge and post it notes

I masked the 3.75″ x 4.25″ piece of Whisper White card stock with 3 torn post it notes to protect the white of the card stock where I would like to have snow.

Stamped a few snowflakes from the Stampin’ Up! set Serene Snowflakes using Versamark only.

Heat embossed the snow flake images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Now that my snowflakes are heat embossed they will resist the ink over them.

Brayered Bashful Blue ink at the top and bottom of the card stock.

Brayered Bordering Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock, not covering the Bashful Blue ink entirely.

Put an untorn post it note at the top of the card stock and sponged Bordering Blue ink right at the post it note edge to create my horizon line.

Removed all of the post it notes.

Masked a bit of the snow with a post it note. Stamped the twig image from the Stampin’ Up! set Bird on a Branch 4 times using Basic Black ink.

Added a few dashing in the water and snow on the twigs using a white gel pen.

Started putting together my layout. Tore a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of Whisper White card stock so the torn edges continued the snow in the main image panel.

Added 2 Basic Black Modern Label punches to the left side of the card. I cut one end off of each punch so they would like up with the edge of the card.

Added Bashful Blue brads using a piercing tool to start the brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May you be warm and cozy wherever you are today.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

Flower Field – Tutorial #281

31 Comments November 18, 2009 zindorfstamps

Whew, today I have been cutting, stuffing, packing, etc. for my trip to Portland, Michigan in the morning. I created all new projects for my Brayer Workshops in Portland, which always gets me very excited. I cannot wait to show them off, lol. My husband says I am a traitor since I will be in Michigan where the big game between rivals Ohio State and Michigan will be playing this weekend. My husband is a big Ohio State Fan. It is hard not to be when you live in Ohio.

Now that everything is prepared and packed into the car I can sit down and put a tutorial together for all of you that cannot get to Portland, MI. The other night I was stamping with my Stampin’ Up! Up line Karen Barber and we used the Itty Bitty Background set, which I use to use all the time but haven’t pulled it out in at least a year. So today I used it to create a field of Flowers.

Let’s get started.. . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Backgrounds and Seaon of Joy

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Apricot Appeal and Not Quite Navy

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray, Apricot Appeal, Bordering Blue, Basic Black and Always Artichoke

Accessories: Versamark Pad, Sponges, Brayer, Clear embossing powder, Heat Gun, Very Vanilla Ribbon, Not Quite Navy Brads

These first few photos show me stamping images with Versamark on a 4″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock so you will not be able to see the stamping until I start putting in the back ground.

The little flower stamp from the Stampin’ Up! set Season of Joy was stamped all over the bottom of the card stock with Versamark. Then I stamped the large dot stamp with versamark and then the small speckle stamp with Versamark. These two stamps are from the Stampin’ Up set Itty Bitty Backgrounds.

I heat embossed all the images with clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Masked the sky area of the card-stock with two post it notes that have a torn edge and Brayered Always Artichoke ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Removed the post it note mask from the top of the card stock and used it to mask the bottom of the card stock.

Brayered Apricot Appeal ink at the top of the card stock.

Ripped a mountain shape in a post it note and sponged Bordering Blue ink in the open area to create a mountain.

Added some Basic Gray ink at the top of the mountain with a sponge.

Moved the post it note and sponged Basic Gray ink to create two more mountains.

Sponged Basic Gray ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Bordering Blue ink at the top of the card stock.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock.

Added Very Vanilla Ribbon and Not Quite Navy Brads.

Fall Lake – Tutorial #279

93 Comments November 12, 2009 zindorfstamps

I noticed last Monday when I was driving to Ohio from Oklahoma that most of the leaves were off of the trees but the grass was still green in a lot of areas. This tutorial is my interpretation of what I saw.

Tomorrow morning I will be traveling to Nashville, Indiana to teach my brayer technique there. Driving from location to location is so very inspiring. I cannot wait to hit the road once again!

The Stampin’ Up Set, Branch Out is on the dormant list with Stampin’ Up! so it can still be ordered although it is not in the current catalog, item #113200.

This is one of my longer tutorials so grab a cup of your favorite warm drink and hang out a while.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up Branch Out, En Francais, Falling Leaves Sentiment

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White & Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Old Olive, Apricot Appeal, Bashful Blue, Creamy Caramel, Going Gray & Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Bashful Blue Brads, White Gel Pen, Stamp-a-ma-jig, piercing tool & Sponges

I wanted to do a large main image panel for this card. Started out with a 4.75″ x 6.26″ piece of Whisper White card stock. Masked over 1/2 of the card stock at the bottom with two large post it notes.

Brayered Apricot Appeal ink at the bottom of the unmasked area.

Brayered Bashful Blue at the top of the card stock.

Brayered Going Gray ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Bashful Blue ink entirely. I think I have found another great winter sky color combo. 🙂

Using the edge of the Old Olive ink pad, streaked in some color at the bottom of the unmasked area.

Sponged some Chocolate Chip ink over the Old Olive, not covering it entirely.

Moved the post it note mask down 1/2 inch.

Streaked in some Old Olive ink in the white unmasked area with the edge of the Old Olive ink pad.

Sponged some Chocolate Chip ink at the bottom of the unmasked area.

Sponged some Basic Black ink right at the post it note edge.

Stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up Branch Out set across the card stock using Basic Black ink.

Took the inky post it notes off of the card stock. Turned the card stock upside down and masked the sky area of the card stock with two clean post it notes.

Brayered Apricot Appeal ink on the card stock.

Brayered Bashful Blue ink on the card stock.

Brayered Going Gray ink over the Bashful Blue ink, not covering it entirely.

Lightly sponged a bit of Old Olive ink over the Apricot Appeal ink.

Sponged on a little Chocolate Chip ink at the post it note edge.

Marked on the side of my wood block with a marker to indicate where the trunk of the tree is so when I stamp it I can line up the reflection tree trunk with the Original stamped images trunk.

Used the clear plastic sheet that came with my Stamp-a-ma-jig to mask the top of the card stock so I can still see the original stamped trees.

Stamped the reflection trees using Going Gray ink and lining the tree trunks up with the original trees that are stamped with Basic Black.

Added White Gel pen streaks in the water area.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edge of the card stock.

Stamped the Stampin’ Up Background stamp, En Francais using Creamy Caramel ink on the left third of the card stock.

Stamped the “Grateful” sentiment from the Stampin’ Up set Falling Leaves using Chocolate Chip ink.

Added Chocolate Chip Ribbon and Bashful Blue brads.

Finished assembling card. Here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I hope this tutorial has inspired you to look at what surrounds you so you can put it on paper. 🙂

Until my next post. . . . . . . . .

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

Chilly Season’s Greetings – Tutorial #277

21 Comments November 5, 2009 zindorfstamps

I know I just returned home from Colorado a few days ago, but I’m so very excited! Tomorrow morning (Friday) 3:00 a.m., I am hitting the road again. This time I am heading to Moore, Oklahoma to teach my brayer workshops. It’s a good thing that I like to drive. 🙂 I hope you ladies in Moore, OK are ready to brayer! Because here I come. . . . . .

Today’s tutorial is a chilly one. I used three cool shades of Blue to achieve that chilly look. You could also use cool shades of purple for this project. 🙂 Did you know there are warm shades and cool shades to every color? Take a look at your Blue ink pads that you have. Can you guess which are warm and which are cool? How about your red shades? I bet you can. Now you may not have as many ink pads as I have, because I am a bit sick. But I bet you have a few, or maybe you have more ink than I have. I just never know with you stampers. 🙂 Hmmm, I see some empty spots I need to fill.

Oh yeah, the tutorial, sorry I got a bit off track there.

Let’s get started. . . . . . . .

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Branch Out and Many Merry Messages

Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Bordering Blue and Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray, Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Bordering Blue and Basic Black

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Ticket Corner Punch and Word Window Punch, Basic Black Marker, White Gel Pen, Sponge, Brayer, Post it notes, Big Shot Die Cut Machine and Flourish Texturz Plate, Silver Brads

Starting with a 3.5″ x 5.5″ piece of Whisper White Card stock. I masked the bottom 1/3 of the card stock with a post it note and brayered Bordering Blue ink on the unmasked area.

Brayered Not Quite Navy at the top of the card stock, not covering the Bordering Blue ink entirely.

Brayered Night of Navy ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Not Quite Navy ink entirely.

Removed the post it note mask and brayered Bordering Blue ink at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the tree from the Stampin’ Up! set Branch Out with Basic Grey ink.

Ripped a couple of hills in the edge of a post it note and used it to create some mounds of snow in the scene. This was done by sponging Bordering Blue ink at the post it note edge and then moving it and sponging again for each mound.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock. Heavier at the top.

Added White Gel pen to the tree and the mounds of snow.

Added a shadow in the tree by outlining the right sides to some of the branches and the trunk.

Ran a 4 7/8″ x 6 3/4″ Bordering Blue Panel through my Big Shot Machine using the Flourish Texture Plate.

Brayered Bordering Blue ink on the panel to bring out the dry embossing further.

Sponge Basic Black ink around the outside edges.

Used the Stampin’ Up! Ticket Corner Punch on a Whisper White Panel and on the main image panel.

Stamped a lone bird in the tree using Basic Black ink.

Punched to word windows out of Basic Black card stock. Cut one end off of each of them. Adhered them with glue and added a silver brads to each one.

Stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! set Many Merry Messages using Basic Black ink.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

May your day be filled with peace and harmony. Please wish me safe travels.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . .

Hugs,
Michelle

Golden Morning – Tutorial #276

13 Comments November 4, 2009 zindorfstamps

The birds in this project are from the Halloween Stampin’ Up Set “Graveyard Gala”. I try very hard not to categorize my stamps by season, holiday etc. because so many stamps in the sets can be used all through the year. It helps me think outside of the box to have a reference sheet for each set in a binder so I can easily flip through the binder to find an image I would like to use in a scene. For instance, I knew I wanted to put birds on the ground in this scene so I flipped through the binder to find some birds that were the right size. When I put them in this scene they don’t look scary at all, but instead look like they are just soaking up the morning rays. 🙂

Here is a link to a an earlier post I did on my stamp storage: http://zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2008/03/14/my-stampin-up-stamp-storage-a-glimps-into-my-world-part-ii/

Let’s get started on the tutorial:

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up Graveyard Gala and Pocket Silhouettes

Paper: Stampin’ Up Designer Paper and More Mustard, Whisper White and Basic Black Card Stock

Ink: Stampin’ Up Basic Black, More Mustard, Creay Caramel and So Saffron

Accessories: White Gel Pen, Brayer, White Ribbon, Brads, Photo Corner Punch, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Damask Texture Plate and a Sponge

Started out with a 3.5″ piece of Whisper White card stock and sponged So Saffron ink all over it.

Punched a 1 1/4″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note and added to the card stock. Sponged More Mustard ink around the edge of the post it note to define the sun. Also sponged More Mustard ink at the top and bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Creamy Caramel ink on the bottom of the card stock, not covering the More Mustard ink entirely.

Stamped the two birds using Basic Black ink. Removed the sun mask.

Stamped the plant stamp a few times using Basic Black ink.

Using just the very edge of the ink Basic Black pad and a half of a “C” motion, (that would be the top half of the “C”) I direct to papered some grasses in the scene. Practice this on scrap paper before trying it on your card stock. 🙂 Also leave some of the background colors showing through on the ground.

Sponged Black ink around the edge of the card stock.

Added some White gel pen highlights to the plants, tops of the birds and the grasses.

Adhered a torn piece of Stampin’ Up Designer paper to a piece of More Mustard card stock and then ran both of them through my Big Shot Die Cut machine using the Damask Texture Plate.

Brayered More Mustard ink over the top of the card stock to define the texture more and to add a bit of grunge.

Grunged the card stock up more by sponging Basic Black ink around the edges.

Assembled the card front and added small black photo corners, brads and white ribbon.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

I hope this tutorial has inspired you to look at your holiday stamps in a different light.

May your day be golden.

Until my next post. . . . . . . . .

Hugs,

Michelle

Christmas Card Time – Tutorial #275

11 Comments November 3, 2009 zindorfstamps

It’s that time of year when my friend Claire shows up wanting to make Christmas cards. Claire is my Dear, Evil, Friend that got me into stamping, but does not stamp, lol. But that is a whole different story.

A couple of weekends ago we got together and mass produced 40 of these cards in a day, less the time it took us to go out to lunch, gab, harass each other, tease my husband etc, etc. 🙂 I always tailor the card we make each year to what Claire likes and so it varies a bit from my usual style. Claire likes layers and do-dads. Things she can feel on a card. Me, I tend to not care about the do-dads, lol.

Anyway, here is a tutorial on this years card. The tutorial may be missing a couple of pictures. Hard to remember to pick up the camera when you are having a tremendous amount of fun with a friend.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up Patterned Pines, Snow Swirled & Serene Snowflakes

Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy and Old Olive

Ink: Stampin’ Up Old Olive, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy

Accessories: Stampin’ Up Real Red Gingham Ribbon, Real Red & Gold Brads, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Brayer, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Top Note Die, Flourish Texture Plate and the Photo Corner Punch

Also check out the Stampin’ Up specials, click this link to check it out: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/michellezindorf/promotions

Started out using my Big Shot Die Cut Machine and Top Note Die. Cut one Whisper White Top Note and one Bashful Blue Top Note.

Stamped the Greeting from the Stampin’ Up Set Snow Swirled with Real Red ink on the White Top Note.

Brayered Not Quite Navy ink at the top of the Bashful Blue Top Note.

Ran the Bashful Blue Top Note through the Big Shot Machine using the Flourish Texture Plate.

Tore the top and the bottom off of the Whisper White Top Note, discarding the middle portion. Stacked the two tore pieces at the bottom of the Bashful Blue Top Note to create the snow.

Used a Heat Gun to dry the brayered on ink and stamped the snowflake stamp from the Stampin’ Up set Serene Snowflakes in the sky area of the Bashful Blue Top Note.

Note: If you stamp the snowflakes before the Brayered on ink is dry your snowflakes will disappear. Learned this the hard way, lol.

Stamped the Tree stamp from the Stampin’ Up set Patterned Pines with Old Olive ink on Whisper White Card stock.

Cut two of the trees out and adhered them to the front of the card.

Assembled Bashful Blue, Old Olive and Not Quite Navy layers, added Real Red Gingham ribbon, Not Quite Navy Photo Corner Punches and Gold Brads. Also added three Real Red brads to each tree. It is hard to see, but there is Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the top of each layer of the snow.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

Now for a giggle, I was going through a card stash I have. You know the card stash, we all have one. Don’t deny it, lol.

Anyhow, found this old card I created back in 2006. I had to look way back in my Split Coast Stampers gallery to see when it was created. Poor Santa! The Stampin’ Up stamp set used for this is a retired set, Star Santa. Don’t you just love looking at your old stuff. It always makes me laugh.

May your day be filled with fond memories.

Huge Hugs,

Michelle
