KinderstampO Guest Deisgner Thursday- Everything's Better With Hot Chocolate

I am so excited to be the Guest Designer today for KinderstampO and share this project with you! This was a very simple card to make and took little time to put together. I used my cricut imagine and the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge for the pattern paper and the images as well. The stamp that I used is from KinderstampO Vintage and Traditional Holiday stamp set. I love these stamps and can't wait to have them all! If you are interested in buying them you can purchase them at http://www.kinderstampo.com/ . I printed and cut the images at 4.8 inches on my imagine. The pattern paper used for the background is from the same cartridge and I printed a 12x12 sheet. I cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edge. This is the first time that I have added stitching and think that it turned out pretty well. I hope that you enjoy this card I will post the recipe for it for anyone who would like it.

Christmas card using Snow Angel cartridge

I made this Christmas card for a challenge over at http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ . This card is 5x7 and all pattern paper and images were printed and cut using my Cricut imagine machine and the Snow Angel Cartridge. I cut the sleigh and girl at 3 inches and the scalloped oval at 5 inches. I cut all layers and used pop dots to add dimension to the cuts. The scalloped oval was embossed using the D'vine Swirl embossing folder I then inked the edges using stampin up Dusty Durango ink pad and then added bling to the scalloped oval and the sleigh as well. Hope that you enjoy this card!

Halloween Centerpiece

I have been so in the mood for fall all the colors of the changing leaves and the cooler weather I love it! I made this centerpiece for Halloween using Kinderstampo Vintage Halloween stamp set. This was really simple to make all you need is:  Paper strips 6in x 1/4 in
Round foam wreath or I used a flower form
KinderstampO Vintage Halloween stamps
Hot Glue Gun
Candle holder and candle
Craft Wire
Cricut Imagine
Enjoy The Seasons Cartridge

You glue the paper strip onto the round Wreath or flower form letting them overlap each other. Once you have done the entire wreath ( You can do the sides also) I did strips of paper and put a scalloped bottom on. Stamp and heat emboss the sentiments onto whatever cardstock you want. Using craft wire and hot glue gun glue the the sentiments to the wire and stick into the form randomly. I used my Cricut imagine for the images and the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge. Hope you enjoy this!

Halloween Greetings

Today I made this very simple card. I actually got the idea from KinderstampO to do this. Jess at KidnerstampO did a Christmas one and I thought that it would make a really cute Halloween card as well. I am finding that the possibilities are just endless! The pattern paper that I used for this card was all printed on my Cricut Imagine using Enjoy The Seasons cartridge and the pumpkins were a shape that was already on my Imagine machine. The stamped sentiment is KinderstampO Vintage Halloween set. I just love these stamps! Here is a link to the site where you can find the card that inspired me to make my card and a wonderful video showing you how to do it. http://www.kinderstampo.com/search?updated-max=2011-09-21T09%3A30%3A00-05%3A00&max-results=3

I used five pumpkins to make my mine and inked the edges to add that little extra something. I also put it through my paper crimper once the glue was dry to add a little texture. Hope that you enjoy this card thanks for looking!
