Christmas Card Inspiration with Imaginisce!

Greetings to you!!!

This month over at Imaginisce a few of us were challenged to create a few Christmas cards.  How fun is that?!

Here are a few simple cards that you can create with your leftovers from other projects.  I don't know about you, but there are times when I'm creating a project that I cut or create extra things and then don't end up using them.  For my cards today, I used our "Christmas Cheer" collection scraps from prior projects and of course my favorite i-Rock tool.

 

This wreath sticker is layered on top of a delicate lacy die cut by Memory Box.  I used my Silhouette to cut the negative chevrons and then created a simple fishtail banner to layer it on.  A bit of extra shimmer is added with my i-Rock and a variety of pretty hot rocks and glam rocks, plus a little silver tear for the candle flame.

 

My next card features our Snag 'em stamp that I colored using my Copics, a sticker stacker and a canvas sticker accented with some more gems.  The flourish was cut with my Silhouette.  A bit of embossing on the background pattern paper gives a bit of texture.

Some details for you...

I just love using my Copic markers!!!  Our Snag 'Em stamps are so much fun!

Spotlight on... Snag 'em Stamps!

Monday greetings to you!  

The next two weeks over at Imaginisce we are doing a fun product spotlight feature on our Snag 'em stamps.  I'm super excited to be kicking off this fun event today so here--we--go!

It's always so much fun to play with our stamps.  I thought it would be fun to make a few Halloween cards featuring our Snag 'em stamps from the Monster Mash collection. 

For the square chevron and scalloped shaped cards, I used my Silhouette.  The hexagon shaped card was created with the newly released Spellbinders hexagon die.

I cut a few leaves, layered them and decorated in Sugar Skull's hair, 

then added some Crackle Accents.

On the Hex card I layered a few hexagon shapes and used the sentiment from one of our Sticker Stackers.  I added a witches boot for fun.  She is secured with a wobbler.  (Have I said that she is one of my all time favorite Snag 'em Stamps?  She is so so cute!!!)

The Spooky card I layered the tree die cut under the interior sentiment block so it would peek out from behind my mummy and ghost.  The ghost has fairy glitter on it and my mummy has some frost glimmer on it.  I added some "eyes" to the Spooky sentiment using my i-Rock and hot rocks.

The "Boo!" card layers a Halloween fence behind the chipboard sentiment.  Eddie has a wobbler behind him too, so he wiggles and jiggles when you move or rock the card.

Ingredients:  Monster Mash Pattern Papers, Chipboard, Sticker Stackers and Snag 'em Stamps Sugar Skull, Eddie, Mummy, Ghost and Foam Tape by Imaginisce, i-Rock and Hot Rocks by Imaginisce, Crackle Accents, Silhouette, Spellbinders, Spooky Tree die by Cheery Lynn Designs, Wobbler, Momento Ink, Copics, Trim by Cosmo Cricket, Twine by The Twinery, Glue Gloss and Fairy Dust by Donna Salazar, Smootch Glitz in Frost by Clearsnap, Xyron 5" Creation Station and Mega Runner.

Snag 'em Stamps and American Crafts Ink!

Hello my happy blogging friends! 

This week over at Imaginisce we are featuring our Snag Em' stamps along with American Crafts Pigment Ink.  They were so gracious as to share some of their wonderful inks with us to showcase.

I received Cherry and Mustard, which are such beautiful vibrant colors!  I immediately knew that I wanted to use the Happy Harvest collection for my project.  Here's my mini album:

I used the swirling leaves and fox stamps on here.  On the upper part of the cover I used the swirling leaves, stamped it in mustard and then heat embossed it with a little shimmer.  The fox was stamped using Cherry Ink, but I added some bronze embossing powder to it, then cut him out.  A few little googley eyes bring him a little more to life. 

I used some of our canvas stickers, the owl and the fallen leaves.  My i-rock and heart gems came out for adding the heart in the beaver's hands.

For the next page I decided to use my silicone mat and I pressed down each of my colors in different areas, then stamped into each of the colors to create a variegated orange/fall palette.  I was really pleased with the effect!  I used my small maple leaf punch by Martha Stewart to decorate the middle tab of the book. 

I used the same color blending technique on the "I Love Fall" page.  I also included a few orange gems for fun.

You'll see several of our sticker stackers that were used for this mini as well.  I cut the one with the swirling leaves and used it for an accent here along with more of the punched maple leaves.  I kept this very basic and bound it simply with some bakers twine.

Thanks so much for stopping on over today!  Be sure to visit the Imaginisce blog as well for much more inspiration and clever ideas for using our Snag 'Em stamps from the other Designers! 

Have a super scrappity day!
