Simply INKredible Stamping

A little Christmas gift

 

Here is a little Christmas gift for you to make and it's cheap...... but darling.  I used a 1/2 sheet of Chocolate Chip cardstock.  Fold the cardstock in half and then on the front, score it diagonally and fold toward the inside.  Punch 2 circle holes on the side to hold the ribbon.  Apply sticky strip to the bottom and add the ribbon to close the pouch.  I used the Sweater Trim from Stampin' Up in Cherry Cobbler as my ribbon.  Don't you just love the names of the colors? The Sweater Trim comes in Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.  It is stretchy and so cute.  You can even dress up your packages that you give for Christmas.

I added a bit of Be of Good Cheer designer paper across the front.  I punched a 2 1/2" circle in Crumb Cake and adhered it with dimensionals.  I inked up the cup in Gumball Green and removed the drink portion in the cup with a blender pen.  I colored the drink with my Soft Suede marker, huffed it and then stamped it on Very Vanilla.  I stamped the candy cane in Cherry Cobbler and the steam in Basic Gray.  I cut those out using the Holiday Collection framelits.  I cut a slit in the middle of the hot chocolate in the cup so I could insert the steam and the candy cane.   I adhered them to the card with dimensionals.  You know me, I had to add some glitz so I put a rhinestone in the middle of the snowflake on the cup.  I added a package of hot chocolate to the pouch.  Woo Hoo I have a easy gift.  How do you like it?

I would love for you to stamp with me.  If you don't know how to stamp, I will be happy to teach you.   I can also make kits for you to put the projects together yourself.  Just contact me for more information.  Have a beautiful weekend.  Blessings, Martha

Give Starbuck's Coffee to a friend

Oh how I love Starbucks coffee.  Their Pumpkin Latte' is so very tasty.  They are selling packs of coffee in a box of five.  I made a little pouch for you to make for a friend who is also a coffee lover.

I made the box using the Petite Pocket Die for the Big Shot.  The designer paper is from Stampin' Up's Howlstooth & Scaringbone (126906) designer paper.  I used a Very Vanilla strip 1 1/4" X 5 1/2" and stamped it with the border stamp in our Full of Blessings set. I colored it with various ink pads and the Aqua Painter.  I cut some leaves out of So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks using the Autumn Accents Bigs Die.  I sponged the edges of the leaves and stamped the words in Early Espresso ink.  I tied a bow with the Vanilla Seam Binding and attached it with a glue dot.  I hope you enjoy making one of these 3-D items soon.  Your friends will love you for giving it to them.  It's a fabulous little rememberance.

Scrapbook Pages for September

Fall is just around the corner.  Can you believe it is September already?  I love the cooler days and the beautiful sunsets in the fall. To make these pages I used the beautiful Gently Falling stamp set.  This is a two step stamping set.  I inked up the leaves in fall colors and then dabbed around the edges with my dauber in another fall color.  This gives the leaves dimension. I stamped the veins of the leaves on top of the first leaf in Chocolate Chip.  If you don't have this set, it is a must buy for your collection.  I took four colors - So Saffron, Cherry Cobbler, Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie cardstock (1/4 of a sheet) and cut leaves using the Big Shot and Autumn Accents (127812) Die.  I cut all four colors at one time and arranged them on my page.  I hope you love these pages and they put you in the mood to make them.  Have a great day.  Come again soon.  Martha
