The Three Amigos - another catalogue sneak peak

Three days before Christmas, and I spent the day in the kitchen baking   I haven't made apple crisp in a long time so felt like a bit rusty.  Non the less I ended up  trying mething new as well -  apples in a tortilla.  After adding copping applies and some sugar and cinnamon, the tortilla was rolled it up tightly rolled in melted butter and a sugar/cinnamon mixture and baked it in the oven.   Mmmmm ! I think this may be my new seasonal favourite!

After all this kitchen labour, I took a foray down to the craft room to make some cards using the "So Hoppy Together" stamp set.

This is such an adorable stamp set. I gave you a sneak peak of this SAB stamp set earlier in the week here, and today I'm giving you another. The frog characters bring a smile to my face every time.

For this card I used the masking technique to bring all three characters together on one card. Together they look like the 3 amigos.

I just love the little guy on the unicyle, so I stamped some bees overhead as if he were tumbling them.  Because I visualized him bobbing around on this cycle, I crafted another frog identical to on the cycle and mounted him on top using a wobble.  So, he actually does move about.

After colouring all with Stampin Blends, I gave them all "google" eyes.  I wanted smaller ones, but couldn't find them.  I quite like the bigger ones.  It gives them more personality.

Behind the 3 amigos I created clouds in the sky using scallop circles and Pool Party ink.

The art piece was matted with Berry Burst card stock and mounted to the card front using dimensionals.

The card base of Berry Burst is matted with Whisper White with 2 different patterns of Animal Adventure DSP added to the left.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  So Hoppy Together
Inks:  Pool Party, Stampin' Blends (Granny Apply Green, Smoky Slate
Papers:  Berry Burst, Whisper White, Animal Adventure DSP
Accessories:  Google eyes, Dimensionals, small wobble (non SU)

A Bouncing Baby Boy

Not only is this wee boy in a jolly jumper jumping up and down, but a small wobble placed behind him allows him to twist and turn while squealing with joy!

The base card is Balmy Blue layered with Whisper White.  I love the Buffalo Check stamp set as a background for this baby.  Balmy Blue is the main color, but a line of Petal Pink was drawn between the squares. The stamparatus is perfect for stamping this large background stamp.

The baby boy was coloured with water color pencils and an aqua painter and then die cut using the Bouncing Baby framelits.  As I mentioned I placed a small wobble behind his back allowing this baby a lot of joyful movement. The baby was placed on a rectangle of Whisper White matted with Balmy Blue card stock. This was added to the card front using dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Sweet Baby, Buffalo Check
Inks:  Balmy Blue, Petal Pink Blend, Water color pencils, Black Memento
Papers:  Balmy Blue, Whisper White.
Accessories:  Bouncing Baby Framelits, Classic label punch, Wobble, Stamparatus.Blender Pen

A "Wobbly" Thank You

This card, made with the hostess stamp "Hand Delivered" is waving at you!  Thank you, thank you!  How did I do that??

Wobbles!

I  places a "wobble" between 2 thank you signs, making it a fun interactive card.

In the center of a Ruffled embossed Whisper White layer I adhered a 2 by 5 1/4" strip of Love What you Do DSP edged with Rich Razzelberry decorative ribbon strips.

Before adhering this to the card front I added some 1/4" Rich Razzelberry velvet ribbon as well as some ribbon tied into a knot.

For the starring character I changed up the pattern of her skirt and placed a Thank you sign in her hands.  I stamped a second sign, cut it out and set it aside.  After I finished coloring her, I fussy cut her, and then adhered the 2 signs   together with a small wobble. Some Clear Wink of Stella applied to the sign finished it off nicely.  Using dimensionals, the image was adhered to a pearlized doillie behind which I had placed a 2 1/4" Whisper White punched circle.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Hand Delivered

Inks:  Black Memento, Blendabilities

Papers:  Rich Razzelberry, Whisper White, Love What You Do DSP

Accessories:  Pearl Doillie, 2 1/2" circle punch, wobble(non SU), 1/4" Rich Razzelberry velvet ribbon, Rich Razzelberry glimmer gems (non SU), Ruffles Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Clear Wink of Stella

A Wobbly Birthday - Try Stampin' on Tuesday or Not, #316

The optional theme for this week's card challenge is "a ray of sunshine".  Fortunately the Cupcakes & Carousel DSP has a perfect design for this challenge.

The Carousel horse was stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock, die cut into a circle, and matted with a larger Bermuda Bay circle.  A wobble was adhered to the underside of the art piece before attaching it to the mat. This was attached to the card front.

One of the patterns in the Cupcakes & Carousel paper pack looks like rays of sunshine coming from the upper left corner, which fits perfectly with the theme for this sketch.  This was placed upon a Very Vanilla layer, and then onto a Bermuda Bay base.

The sentiment, stamped with Bermuda Bay ink, was matted with Daffodil Delight card stock and added to the lower right card below the art piece.

In making this card, I played around with a few techniques:

One, I stamped the image twice,  and after fussy cutting it out I placed it on top of the original using dimensionals.  This gives the horse a 3D effect.

Two, I added a wobble before adhering the art piece to it's mat.  Now, when the horse is touched, it starts to wobble, almost spin, making the card interactive (see the picture below).

 

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Carousel Birthday, Timeless Texture
Inks: Black Memento, Watercolor pencils, Bermuda Bay
Papers: Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla, Cupcakes & Carousel DSP, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Layering Circles Framelits, Dimensionals, Action Wobble (non SU)
