Tonja's Stamping Space

HOLLY JOLLY

Hi, Stampers!

Today's card is just too cute and simple!

This card uses Real Red Cardstock, Garden Green Card Stock, Christmas Cocoa DSP and Whisper White Card Stock. I stamped the snow flakes in Versamark, and inked the 'holly jolly' stamp with markers before stamping.

Let me know if you have any questions or if you need to order something you need to make this LOVELY card!

Take care,

Tonja

Lovely As A Tree

Hi, Stampers!

Today's card is another one from my Techniques Class last week - we made a couple of cards with clouds along with a 'cloud' template. This is the card with Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set. Simple, uncluttered, yet elegant!

Wide Oval Christmas Card

Hi, Stampers!

Here's another card that we made at my Punch Class last week. A LOVELY Christmas card that I will be making a lot more of!

Another Q-U-E-E card - Quick - Easy - Elegant!

Cute Punched Frosty!

Hi, Stampers!

In September, I changed the format of  my classes and began offering a Big Shot Class, a Stamping Techniques Class, and a Punch Class. I do believe that the Punch Class has become one of my personal favorites! There are so many things that Stampin' UP! punches can do ---- it's amazing!

Last week, we made three LOVELY Holiday cards using punches. Today, I have the punched Frosty one to show you.

To make this little guy, these are the punches that we used: 1 3/4", 1 3/8", 1 1/4" Circle Punches, Word Window Punch, Tag Punch, Boho Blossoms Punch, Small Star(nose) he Crop-a-dile (for his eyes) -- isn't he just too cute!

To make the snow -- a whole other technique all by itself! To get this effect, we used Sahara Sand paper (about  3" x 4 1/4"), tore it into two pieces, and adhered it to the Brilliant Blue Card Stock - leaving a little slot un-adhered (not sure that's a word!) to stick Frosty. Then we used a sponge and 'brushed' Whisper White Craft ink over the entire area, sprinkled a mixture of Irredescent Ice and White Embossing powder to cover, then heat embossed! Lovely effect! I used the Sahara Sand paper instead of Whisper White, because it is thicker and held the wet craft ink much better. Plus, where the snow has 'blown' away, it actually looks like the ground underneath!

Please let me know what you think and leave a comment!

Take care,
