Bunnies from the Snowman Punch

Posted on March 5, 2020 by Chris Slogar

My projects in last night’s Facebook Live used the Snowman Builder Punch, which is held over from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. It makes really cute bunny bodies – in two sizes, and the ears come from the Daisy Punches – also in two sizes. The video shows how I made them. Please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on facebook to see all of my facebook videos.

For my first project, I made a card with a large bunny. The paper is from the Best Dressed collection. The Purple Posy card base measures 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″, scored at 5 1/2″. The designer paper is a 4″ square, and the Whisper White measures 4″ x 5 1/4″.

The bunny is attached to a Blackberry Bliss stitched oval – the largest oval in the Stitched Shapes collection.

I also used a large bunny to decorate this favor. The project itself is a remake of projects I have done before. The Purple Posy cardstock measures 2″ x 9 1/2″, scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 3″, 6″, and 6 1/2″. The designer paper, also from the Best Dressed collection, measures 1 7/8″ x 2 7/8″.

This side view shows how the folds secure a Ghirardelli chocolate. I cut a hole in the second section (between 1/2″ and 1 1/2″) with the smallest Stitched Nested Label die.

My slider version of this treat is made with the same papers. The box starts from a piece of cardstock 4″ x 3 1/4″. The 4″ side is scored at 1 3/8″, 1 3/4″, 3 1/8″ and 3 1/2″, and the 3 1/4″ side is scored at 3/8″. The designer paper measures 1 1/4″ x 2 3/4″.

Stamp Case Gift Set

Posted on March 2, 2020 by Chris Slogar

I have a special gift for you as we head into the last month of Sale-a-bration. This project is my “Class To Go” this month. Spend $100 with Host Code Q6VYUURV, and I will send the supplies to decorate and fill this stamp case.

The finished project includes a tray with six greeting cards, a trio of Hershey Nuggets, and a coordinating pen. I have used the So Sentimental bundle with Poppy Parade ink to complete my cards, and I recommend those items as part of your purchase if you would like to follow my sample. However, it is possible to substitute other stamps and die shapes for the greetings.

Colors vary. Please email me at stampyourworld@gmail.com after you order if you have a color preference – Pool Party, White, or Poppy.

Peaceful Poppies

Posted on February 27, 2020 by Chris Slogar

Stay tuned for new Sale-a-bration items! Starting March 3, Stampin’ Up! will offer five additional Sale-a-bration freebies. There will be three stamp sets and two specialty paper collections. Check back on March 3 to see the new items.

I have a really simple card to share today. We made this card in a Card Ministry this month, and it is easy to make in quantity!

I simply used three strips of designer paper, each measuring 1 1/8″ x 4 3/4″, from the Peaceful Poppies. I matted those strips on a piece of Blackberry Bliss, measuring 3 3/4″ x 5″.

The stamps are from “Layered with Kindness”, and the label shapes are made with the coordinating punches “Label Me Fancy” and “Label Me Lovely”.

Thanks for checking out my projects today!

Witty-cisms

Posted on February 25, 2020 by Chris Slogar

“Witty-cisms” offers fun sentiments that are paired with cute images. These lend themselves to easy cards and note cards, like the ones I am showing today. The images are also great for coloring. I used my Stampin’ Blends.

My first card uses a 4″ x 5 1/4″ mat of Poppy Parade, embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I added a 2″ strip of designer paper from the Pleased as Punch collection.

My next two cards are even simpler, with just the 2″ strips of designer paper on the card base. I chose two different stamps to highlight – see the full set below.

Under My Umbrella

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Chris Slogar

Even a rainy-day card can be so cheerful with our pretty papers and colors! I used the Pleased as Punch designer paper for my background and umbrella, and then I colored the flowers and boots with my Stampin’ Blends.

There is a coordinating punch for the umbrella pieces, and I fussy-cut the flower pieces. The greetings in the set are very sweet, but I made my second layout with a birthday greeting from “Timeless Tulips”.

Double Pocket Cards

Posted on February 20, 2020 by Chris Slogar

Last night on Facebook Live, I made Double Pocket Cards. The back pocket holds a note card, and the front pocket can hold a gift card, bookmark, tea bag, or other flat item. They are made from designer paper – I used patterns from the Birthday Bonanza collection here.

The “square version” is made from an 8 1/2″ square. The inner card is a 4 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ piece of Whisper White matted on a 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece of Mango Melody.

The “rounded version” is made from an 8 1/2″ circle, with an inner card of the same dimensions as above. The score lines for either version are at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″ (vertical) and at 5 1/2″ from the top (horizontal).

I also made a version with the Parisian Blossoms designer paper for a totally different look. I also added a flap made from the largest stitched, scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The scalloped rectangle is scored 3/8″ from one of the long edges, creating a tab that is tucked in between the front pocket and back pocket. Otherwise, the construction of this version is the same as the “square version” above.

Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper

Posted on February 19, 2020 by Chris Slogar

The Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper is once again available! It was unorderable for a while, as Stampin’ Up! could not keep up with its popularity.

As much as I like this paper for its crisp simplicity, in just black/white and gold, I like to add color, too. Here, I used our sponge brayers to add Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz. The stamped images and greeting are from the Sale-a-bration set Thoughtful Blooms.

I made a brighter version to welcome some new teammates. This one uses Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.
