Winter Vacation

For my last post for this months Food/Drink challenge, I stamped the hilarious Art Impressions Girlfriends image - just imagine yourself on a beautiful white beach in a tropical location gossiping with your gal pals - wouldn't that be lovely!!!

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Xpress It paper, colored with Copics and fussy cut, then mounted on to two papers from Fancy Pants Beach Babe paper collection that was available this past summer.  I used a Versamark pad and a light tan embossing powder to imitate the sand.

Today is the last day to enter this months challenge and the winners will be announced tomorrow.  Thursday will be the start of December's challenge, so keep checking back to see the theme.
Don't forget that tomorrow is also an extra special day for us here at One Crazy Stamper, our first blog hop with Kraftin' Kimmie, come back and check out all of the wonderful cards that the dt's have created.

Loves to Knit!

....Ellie that is!!  Ellie Loves to Knit is the name of this cute stamp set from Your Next Stamp.  You can check out all of the new winter images at One Crazy Stamper!

I chose my colors from the sheet of Bo Bunnydesigner paper from the A Gift of Love collection.  The Copic markers I used are pictured below:

I fussy cut my image an mounted it with foam tape.  I used some Martha Stewart snowflake punches and embellished them with Candi. 

Other items on this card are a metal embossed sticker strip and an edge punch.
Warm Winter Wishes!!

Steps:

1. Using a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock, score at the 2 1/8" and 6 3/8" . Scor-Pal has these markings on it. I used red for the Poinsettia and a blue for the Snowflake
2. Fold both ends in to meet in the center.

Layered Poinsettia

1. Cut 4 pieces of gold cardstock 1 7/8" x 5 5/8" and 1 piece of cardstock 4 x 5 5/8". Also cut 4 pieces of Father Christmas Berries (BoBunny) 1 3/4" x 5 1/8" and 1 piece of the same paper 3 13/16" x 5".

2. Using the X-Press It Double Sided Tape, the designer papers were adhered to the gold, which was adhered to the appropriate panels.

3. Using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia, and paper that was hidden in my stash, the various layers were cut and embossed.

4. The poinsettia was then assembled using glue dots and a brad. X-Press It Double Sided Tape was then added to one side of the poinsettia and adhered to the right side front panel.

5. The sentiment Snow Brackets (Stampendous) was stamped on a piece of X-Press It Blending Cardstock that has been cut and embossed with Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Eighteen and adhered to the center inside panel of the card.

2. Using the X-Press It Double Sided Tape, the designer papers were adhered to the silver cardstock, which was then adhered to the appropriate panels.

3. Using the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Create-a-Snowflake Three and a sheet 12 x 12 Snowfall Drift (B0Bunny)the various pieces were cut and embossed. As the dies wouldn't cut completely through, an extra piece of cardstock was used as a shin.

4. The snowflake was assembled using Sticky Thumb Dimensionals.

5. A Tear Drop Circle was cut and embossed using a piece of Snowfall Drift (BoBuny) and the Spellbinders Nestabilities Tear Drop Circles.

6. The Snowflake was adhered to this circle which was then taped on one half and adhered to the right front panel.

7. Using the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Grommet Tags, a tag was cut and embossed. The Holiday Greetings sentiment from the Cardinal Holiday Mailbox (Heartfelt Creations) was stamped onto the tag which was then lightly inked with Polar Blue (Versa Colour) ink. X-Press It Double Sided Tape was added to the left side and the tag was adhered to the left front panel.
