Father's Day Card ... the Open Sea

I will be celebrating Father's Day with my dad tomorrow evening with dinner out, yah! I don't have to cook.  I cased this card from Deb Fearns, using the masking technique with lots of sponging in all shades of brown for him.  

I demonstrated this card at my last card class, on how you mask off the area with tearing up post-it notes and then sponging the area with layers of colours and then randomly stamp over the top with darker shades.  I love the new note tag punch too and I teamed this up with a mini peg.

Stamp Set:  The Open Sea, Well Scripted (retired)

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Accessories: Linen Thread, Mini Peg (retired), Stamping Sponges, Note Tag Punch, Twine (retired)

and attached it with a mini peg with some twine.

Merry Everything Gift Bag

I am loving the new Holiday Catalogue and all the new Christmas goodies, it just feels like Christmas every day when I get out a new item to use out of the catalogue.

I did not really get excited by this Santa & Co Designer Series Paper,  but it looks fantastic with this gift bag teamed with the tag decorations.  If you need the instructions for this gift bag go to the Pootles Papercraft blog for her you tube video Fold Over Paper Bag Tutorial.

So Shelli Creative Challenge 2014 meets Merry Everything

I love Creative Challenges and I noticed on Shelli Gardner's (Stampin' Up! Co-Founder) blog that she currently is running one - create any project using any of the new products from the annual or holiday catalogue.

I spent a few hours on Saturday and Sunday creating and I will slowly reveal them to you over the coming weeks.  Today I am sharing this cute little box that I made using some new items from the Holiday catalogue including the gorgeous Merry Everything Stamp Set and matching Note Tag Punch, which I will be using oh so much leading up to Christmas which is teamed with the word "Joy" from the Wonderful Wreath framelits cut out of Gold Foil Sheets. (I really don't know why I had never purchased these sheets before but I love the shiny finish of this card stock and it was a little thicker than I thought it would be.)

Stamp Set:  Merry Everything

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock: Whisper White, Gold Foil Sheets ($5.25 reduced from $6.95 on the Weekly Deals until Tuesday evening)

Accessories: Decorative Window Gift Box, Note Tag Punch, Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Burlap 1 1/4" Ribbon, Gold Metallic Baker's Twine, Cherry Cobbler 1" Grosgrain Stitched Edge Ribbon (still available in the Clearance Rack for $6.09 reduced from $15.95)
