Wine Box and Coordinating Wine Tag

I doing 3 craft shows 3 weekends in a row starting this Sunday, so I have been furiously making 3D items to put on my table.
One of the items I made was a Wine Box and then I made a wine tag to coordinate with it.  The tutorial I purchased from Technique Junkie so I am unable to share it with you.

As you can see I have used all retired products (mainly SAB) with the exception of the ribbon on the tag, the ink, and the Pool Party card stock.

Feeling Sentimental Just For You - The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #201

The world Catholics have a new Pope - someone from Argentina!  I couldn't believe it when white smoke came out of the chimney!
I seem to be on a masculine card roll this week.  This card features one of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets and was made using the sketch challenge with The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge here

 

This 5 by 5" square card has a base of Early Espresso, layered with Very Vanilla card stock.  The next layer two different pieces of  DSP from the Print Poetry SDP stack.

I stamped the image using Early Espresso ink, stamping off 2 times backwards in order to create the semblance of motion. This image panel was matted with Midnight Muse cardstock using dimensionals. It was attached to the DSP at the level of the darkest DSP.  A piece of stitched Midnight Muse ribbon completed the card.  The embellishment is a Silver Soda Pop Top which I flattened in the Big Shot.  I place a 1/2" circle of Midnight Muse in the center of this pop top followed by a bow made with Blue/white Baker's twine.

Stamps: Feeling Sentimental (SAB), Teeny Tiny wishes

Inks: Early Espresso, Midnight Muse

Papers: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Print Poetry DSP stack

Accessories: Word Window Punch, 1/2" circle punch, Silver Soda Pop Top (small), Blue/white Baker's twine, 3/8" stitched Midnight Muse satin ribbon, dimensionals, glue dots

Bleaching Technique - Card 2 - Feeling Sentimental

I've been continuing to experiment with bleach stamping and have learned a few things.  First of all, don't be generous with the bleach.  After applying bleach to the stamp, stamp off a few times and then stamp the final image.  You'll get more detail that way. Secondly, use the stamp-a-ma-jig to overstamp the bleached image.
Here's the second card for class:

This time I bleach stamped the image onto Cajun Craze cardstock and over stamped with Black Stazon ink.  I then die cut the image with the Oval framelit and mounted it onto a black windows framelit.  The designer paper is from the spring catalogue - Parker's DSP, and the sentiment is from a retired stamp set "Happy Greetings"

Stamps: Feeling Sentimental, Happy Greetings (retired), Itty Bitties
Inks: Black Stazon, Cajun Craze
Papers: Basic Black, Whisper White, Parker's DSP, Cajun Craze
Accessories: Chevron folder, Bleach, Black dotted scalloped ribbon, silver soda pop tops, Windows framelit, Oval framelit, large pearls, dimensionals

St. Patrick's Day Pop Up Birthday Card

I had to cancel tonight's card making class due to inclement weather.  We're really getting dumped on with wet snow - which will probably freeze to a dangerous mess come nightfall.  Thus I made the decision to cancel class rather than someone get in an accident. Perhaps everyone will be available tomorrow night.
This is the one of the cards we were going to make tonight.  It's a St. Patrick's Day birthday pop up card using the Owl builder punch

Before starting the card, put together 4 Owls using the owl builder punch and the "Party Hearty" stamp set (for the birthday hats).  Directions below.

Outside:
The front of the card is Gumball Green.
Start by cutting a piece of Early Espresso coordination card stock and emboss it with the Woodgrain embossing folder and sand it.  Cut one side in an irregular manner simulating a tree trunk.  Punch out the peek hole using the Oval punch.
Take one of the birthday owls and insert it half way through the opening and adhere the lower part of the owl to the back of the tree trunk. Then place a piece of Early Espresso card stock big enough to cover the hole and attach it behind the owl and the oval hole.  Attach this unit to the right side of the front of the card.
Stamp with sentiment from "Feeling Sentimental" using Early Espresso ink ont Whisper White card stock. Punch it out using the Oval punch and sponge the edges with Gumball Green ink.
I never like to waste anything, so I placed the oval that was punched out of the tree trunk behind and at right angles to the sentiment.  Attach both to the left hand side of the card. The front of the card is now finished.

Inside:
Fold the Crumb Cake cardstock in half and on the folded edge make pencil marks at 1, 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, and 4 1/2"
Measure 1" up from the folded line and draw a line across the card.
Draw lines from your marks on the folded line to the 1" line.
Cut on the pencil lines from the fold to the 1" line.  You will end up with 3 pop ups.

Top half:
Using the shamrock stamp from "Every Little Bit" and Gumball Green ink, stamp the image randoming on the top half of the Crumb Cake card stock.
Take a piece of Gumball Green card stock, scallop one of the long edges with the scallop border punch, and then emboss with the Square lattice embossing folder.
Attach a piece of 7/16" Natural trim ribbon and a bow top the bottom of this Gumball Green strip
Now attach it to the top of the Crumb Cake cardstock about half way between the top and the top of the pop ups.

Bottom half:
Attach a strip of scalloped Gumball Green cardstock to a piece of Tea for Two DSP and attach to the bottom edge.
To make the shamrock, arrange 3 small heart punches together at their tips.  Cut a tiny strip of cardstock for the stem.  Attach just above DSP
The sentiment is from the "Occasional Alphabet" stamp set.  It is stamped with Black Stazon on Whisper White and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  The edges are inked with Gumball Green ink.  I punched a second Decorative Label in Gumball Green card stock as a mat for the sentiment.  Attach to the lower right side using dimensionals.

Now attach the front half of the card to the inside being careful to keep the pop ups free of adhesive .

Lastly attach the owls to the pop ups.

And your card is done.

Here's a list of the materials:
Card:
Stamps: Every Little Bit, Occasional Alphabet, Feeling Sentimental
Inks: Gumball Green, Black Stazon, Early Espresso
Papers: Gumball Green, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Early Espresso Coordination card stock, Early Espresso card stock
Accessories: Woodgrain folder, Square Lattice folder, Scallop border punch, Oval punch, Decorative Label punch, Small heart punch, Natural 7/16" trim ribbon, dimensionals

Owls:
Stamp: Party Hearty (retired)
Inks: Black Stazon, Gumball green marker
Papers: Chocolate chip (body), Tea for Two DSP (clothing), Basic black, Whisper White (eyes)
Accessories: Two step owl punch, adhesive

Stamp the image of the party hats.  Color them using the marker.  Then cut out 4 hats using your paper snips, leaving a strip of cardstock on the bottom of the hat.  This will make attaching the hat to the owl's head easier.

Hello Friend, Feeling Sentimental - Sunny Challenges & Creations SC 73/13

I am so excited and thrilled to be a guest designer with Sunny Challenges & Creations this week.
Here is the card I made using the sketch challenge provided  as well as something from Sale-a-bration (SAB).

The base card is Rich Razzelberry, layered with Whisper White, and then 2 of the designer paper from Sycamore Street (SAB).  I put a white stitched ribbon, which I coloured with Rich Razzelberry, over the seam and made a bow to put at the bottom of the focal image panel.
The image was stamped with Rich Razzelberry ink on Whisper White paper and matted with Rich Razzellberry card stock.
All edges were sponged with Rich Razzelberry ink.

Feeling Sentimental - Phone Booth

This is one of the SAB stamps, which you can get FREE with a $60.00 order.  The phone booth reminds me of the phone booths of earlier days, or the ones you might see in Britain (I think because I've never been there).  They're a dying breed - just try and find a phone booth when you need one.  And they certainly don't look like this one anymore. If you do find one chances are the phone isn't working.  They're a rarity because everyone (well almost) carries cell phones today so public phones aren't as necessary as they once were.

Inks: Cajun Craze, Black Stazon
