Merry Christmas Savanna

Welcome to my first weekly post for One Crazy Stamper, and for today's card I have colored up this gorgeous image from Stamping Bella entitled "Savanna Has a Star".

 

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used my Copic Sketch Markers to color the image.  After fussy cutting the image, I placed it on the card front that features the Memory Box die Snowflake Arch, and the Impression Obsession Merry Christmas sentiment die.

Art Impressions Snowman

Hello stampers!  I am sharing one of the 2014 holiday stamp sets from Art Impressions today: Season's Greetings Set.   I went with a fairly muted colour scheme to go with the teals/taupes/rusty reds in my patterned papers.

I stitched all of my panels with my sewing machine (my favourite thing to do on a card!) and added a few die cut snowflakes in coordinating papers as an embellishment.  Fairly simple layout, and it is nice and flat for mailing!  We hope you'll join in our November challenge on the One Crazy Stamper blog - it's anything goes, just no digi stamps, please!  You can link up your creation here.

Art Impressions Try-fold Santa

Hello OCS fans!  How are your Christmas cards coming along?  Now that we're into November (yikes!) it's time to kick things into high gear!  I have a special card to share with you today - it's called a Try-fold card, using an Art Impressions stamp set called Sleepy Santa Try-fold (Sku#)4341.  Every year there are always a few people for whom you'd like to make a card that is a little extra special, and this one fits the bill.  The card is folded into thirds, with three different stamped images that you open up - I've included a bunch of photos in today's post so that you can get the idea:

The Try-fold card is on the left.  When it is complete, it is mounted onto a flat piece of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cardstock, and tied with some twine to hold it shut.

This is the inside, where the sentiment has been hidden behind the other panels.  This is a crowd-pleaser card every time!  All of the instructions on how to stamp the images are included with the set.  The second card that I've shown is a regular card, just using the sleeping Santa image - to show you how easy it is to just use the images on their own.  Lora has several of the Art Impressions Try-folds stamp sets available in the One Crazy Stamper store, you can find them here with the Art Impressions stamps.

Shrink Plastic Tutorial

Hello crafty peeps! Today I am sharing a tutorial using Shrink Plastic and doing a little product showcase with WR Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board.

This is the pillow box that I made with the punch board and embellished with one of my shrink plastic snowflakes.

Here's my video!

I used these very cool YNS sentiment dies with silver foil that comes with an adhesive back. 

Now what would a pillow box be without some goodies inside. This box can be customized to whatever length from 4-12 inches, I made this one long enough to fit a pencil. 

I hope you all enjoyed my tutorial!

Supplies

 Scripty Word Die Set(YNS), Foil-Silver(Marianne Design), Alterations Collections Snowflakes(Sizzix-Tim Holtz), Pillow Box Punch Board(WRMK), PolyShrink, Delicata Silvery Shimmer(Tsukineko)
