Sympathy card


I love this image from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Many Blessings set and this card was so easy to make!  I printed it twice on white and once on that gorgeous shiny gold cs.  I cut one leaf from the white and the cross from the the gold, and left the other white to cut with Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestabilities.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Deep Plum and Turquoise Blue.  I sprayed both on my tissue paper then I blotted the card onto the wet tissue.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Dusty Concord and a Sizzix Texture Plate.  The leaf punch is Stampin Up and I crocheted my flower.  Pop over to Lindsay's blog The Frugal Crafter to see what she has made and to pick up one of her free images.  Stop by the LSS MyGraphico store to grab some last minute Halloween images and definitely visit my DT sisters blogs to see all of the awesome ideas they have to share.  Did I tell you those ladies are super talented?  See for yourself.

Trick or Treat

I just had to show the inside and outside of this card, it measures 4" x 9" and has a pocket inside where you can tuck in a Hershey Bar or a Halloween treat certificate.  The adorable Treaters are from Scrolls Work  Halloween collection, along with the Large Corner Web and Trick or Treat sentiment.  I used Stazon ink, Spellbinders Grand 12" Classic Lace Border, Shapeabilities Fancy Tags on the inside and  Labels 8 Nestabilities on the front.  I embossed with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folder.  The card stock is DCWV , Stampin Up and vellum.  I used a little Crystal Effects on the spider and lots of dimensional foam all throughout, I love that stuff!  Stop by the Scrolls Work blog and see the awesome work my DT sisters have to share with you too.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Spooky Halloween Lantern

























I had so much fun making this lantern, I had to show you all 4 sides!  I changed it around enough times, lol.  I would just look at it and  decide it would look so much better if......  revisions, there were a lot of those.  But I am really glad with the final outcome.  I used 4 Scrolls Work Rubber Stamps, House, Treaters, Haunted Moon  and Large Corner Web.  I stamped them with Stazon onto orange vellum.  The box was cut from gold foil card stock, I embossed it with Stampin Up Texture Plates Kit 4 Distressed.  I cut the fancy ovals with Spellbinders Labels 10 Nestabilities, I cut them twice, once to make the window, and then I cut them again with 2 dies to make a frame to stick outside the window.   I was loving how this was working out so instead of the lace top I had planned I ran up to JoAnns and found this awesome sheer ribbon that had some eyelash yarn and a mini garland tied onto it.  It didn't look like I thought it would, so off to my stash for the final revision, I found these awesome black purse beads to dangle off the top.  Not only did they give it the exact look I was going for, they were attached to a strip of seam binding that I glued to the inside of the lantern to give it a more finished look.  I photographed it with the tiny battery operated votive candle inside, looks really cool in the dark.  Dimensions are 3" wide (per single side panel) x 5 1/2 inches tall.  I have seen this done with a small ticket punch, I can't remember where.

With a cherry on top.

I had a wonderful weekend with a surprise visit from my daughter.  She needed more thank you cards to take back to Kentucky so Mom happily obliged.  This card was so easy, I used this weeks sketch (thank you Scrappy) from KWED along with the Cherry stamp.  (Ask, it's not in the store yet.)  The paper is Graphic 45 - Bees Knees, one of my favorites.  I colored the cherries with Prismacolor pencils, used Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestabilities,  Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities,  Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye and  Antique Linen.  The sentiment stamp is Stampin up Warmest Regards.   I used dimensional foam to lift it all up.  Be sure to stop by Kristen's blog to pick up your free stamp and to see all the awesome cards my DT sisters made.

Hands of Time


This weeks challenge at Kahwinkedink is Going Digital, use your favorite digital stamp.  Stitchy Bear Stamps is the sponsor, they have generously allowed the DT to have our pick of stamps from the store.  I chose Hands of Time from the Stitchy Stamps Collection to make this vintage pocket watch that opens up to see the clock face.   Stitchy Bear Stamps is a wonderful community of digital artists, collaborating together to sell from 1 store.  I had a difficult time choosing only 1 stamp to work with!  
Along with the  Hands of Time stamp I used this gorgeous designer paper from Hollanders of Ann Arbor.  The vellum overlay was stamped with Baroque Motifs from Stampin Up in Brilliance gold ink.  The border is made of ribbon from JoAnns and I used Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Tags for my sentiment.

Sew Sweet

This card will be published in the 9/26/10 issue of Scrapbook News and Review. 


It's Thursday, time for another card featuring Lindsay's Stamp Stuff  images.  This is one of the first images I fell in love with, way before I joined the design team.  Sew Pretty has sew many fun images to work with.   I'm really happy with how this card came out.  Along with the Sew Pretty digital stamp I used this awesome dp Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and Tim Holtz Alterations texture fades Patchwork set both RAK from my friend Kristen.  The tomato dp is called Sweet Tomato Dots from Lasting Impressions, I bought it with this card in mind.  The teal and yellow cs and the  Eyelet embossing are Stampin Up.  The pins and needles are done in Stickles Silver and pearls they are not real.  I am flattered that so many of you think the "  real pins"   were a good idea, thanks but Lindsay gets credit for drawing them onto the image for me, I just cut, colored and added the stones.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye to distress it and Spellbinders Petite Ovals Nestabilities and Shapeabilities Fancy Tags.  I almost forgot, I used a lot of foam squares to lift it all up, even the buttons.

Vintage Thank You


This is the Grunge Gear image from the Steampunk Stamp Set at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  This card measures 5 x 5 and I cut the card in the shape of a gear.  I think it would make a great card for a guy.  There are so many wonderful images to choose from in this set.  I must say it is one of my favorites!  I printed the image twice and folded it in the center so the gear image is 2 sided.  I used Color Throwdown for my color inspiration.  The center is made with Spellbinders Classic Ovals Nestabilities.  I used Stampin Up Texture Plates Kit 4 Distressed (again).  Be sure to stop in and see what Lindsay has to offer this week, she always offers a freebie on Thursdays and some awesome inspiration.   Please check out the talented LSS Design Team for more fantastic ideas using stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, here are their links.

Color Throwdown is celebrating 100 Challenges 


This week we are celebrating Lindsay's Birthday and she is too with a 34% off sale at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff whoo hoo!.  Happy  Birthday Lindsay and thank you for designing this awesome Steampunk Style set!  I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw this with so many awesome images! You will be seeing a lot more of this set here.  I had so much fun making this card, the hardest part was deciding which image to use, I wanted it to be just right.  I printed the bike images and Birthday sentiment on to the Certainly Celery cs, then used my favorite Stampin Up Texture Plates Kit 4 Distressed.  The circles were cut with Spellbinders Classic Circles Nestabilities, and I used my new Martha Stewart edge punch.  I love the little flower button I sewed onto the bow, it was part of an old jewelery kit my (now 25 yr old) daughter and I had made into necklace's back in the day!  My inspiration came from this weeks beautiful colors from Color Throwdown (100th challenge party, awesome prizes!) and the Just Us Girls sketch.

Tea and Sympathy

I love this Teariffic stamp set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff!  There are so many possibilities with this set, you can go from serious to silly.  I made the flower by clipping some lace into pieces sticking them on a glue dot with a button in the center.  I cut the outside edge of a doily, gathered and glued then added some  Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen.  The Teariffic tea cup was printed twice, once on ivory cs (inside cup) and again on the DCWV.  Then I paper pieced them together.   The blue and green cs and is Stampin Up Big Shot Texturz Plate Perfect Details  pattern 1.  I also used  Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petites and Ribbon Tags Trio Shapeabilities.
Here is what you will find in the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Teariffic stamp set.
