Snowflake Gift Card Holder - Frantic Stamper

I hope you are ready for another card using the Frantic Stamper September release!  This release is jam packed with awesome products that will get your Christmas gears turning.  I have a ton of cards to share before the month is over so I better get going!  It's time for gift giving and I had a blast with this gift card holder.

I created this gift card holder by cutting a piece of kraft card stock into a 4" x 7.75" rectangle and then scoring at the 2" and 5" lines on my ScorPal to make a trifold holder.  I used the Gift Card Edge Holder Die (FRA-DIE-10302) on the inside to hold my gift card and then added patterned paper, a Luchon Snowflake Die (FRA-DIE-10317) cut in black, a kraft circles, and then my sentiment cut from gold with the Gift Card Edge Holder Die words.  I didn't have a gift card on hand so I used my Pizza Ranch Rewards card to show you just how well it all comes together.  Here's a look at the inside:

Stained Glass Poinsettia - Frantic Stamper

I hope you are ready for another card using the Frantic Stamper September release!  This release is jam packed with awesome products that will get your Christmas gears turning.  I have a ton of cards to share before the month and this is one of my favorites!  I just love the sparkle and bling of the season and I totally tried to show it off with this card.

I couldn't wait to use the awesome Gingham Background Stamp (FRA-CLG-B025) to create this tone on tone look for my black card base.  Next, I cut three Poinsettia Stained-glass Squares (FRA-DIE-10313) to layer after adding color to each.  First, I lined the lowest layer with silver paper hoping to get a reflective look through my other layers.  The next cut is lined with green vellum only attached where the leaves are and the top layer has red vellum attached where the flowers are.  After, I added color to each layer, I stacked the three layers and attached them to my card.  I added some textured glitter dots for the centers and a sentiment using a strip of white that I rounded at the two bottom corners.  Here's a closer look:

Snowflake Nativity - Frantic Stamper

I hope you are ready for another card using the Frantic Stamper September release!  This release is jam packed with awesome products that will get your Christmas gears turning.  I have a ton of cards to share before the month is over so I better get going!  I just love the sparkle and bling of the season and I totally tried to show it off with this card.

My card today sort of came about by accident.  I was cutting the nativity pieces in different colors and patterns to get some inspiration and some fell on a gold Luchon Snowflake (FRA-DIE-10317)I had laying on my desk.  I liked how it looked so much, I started layering.  I started by having all of the Nativity Silhouettes (FRA-DIE-10312) cut from the white wood grain paper but then thought baby Jesus needed a little more shine to stand out so I cut him again from gold glitter.  Next, I searched for the perfect background paper and I knew this was just right with the falling snow over the wood grain.  I placed a strip of wood veneer paper in cherry across the bottom to anchor everything and then a piece of baker's twine to keep with the rustic but modern look.  With all my die cuts in place, I added a sentiment created with letter stickers.  Here's a closer look:

Star On A String - Frantic Stamper

I'm so excited to share this whole entire Frantic Stamper September release!  It is jam packed with awesome products that will get your Christmas gears turning.  I have a ton of cards to share before the month is over so I better get going!  I just love the sparkle and bling of the season and I totally tried to show it off with this card.

This card could not have been any easier to create.  I started by cutting the Star On A String Die from a pearly paper and then decided I wanted a little more shine.  I grabbed some champagne colored glitter paper and cut the stars again so I could insert the glitter into the negative spaces of my stars.  I arranged them on this striped and dotted cardstock base and different levels with some foam tape.  I finished the card off with a wooden sentiment that I bought a few years ago in the Target dollar bins.  It was perfect on this card!  Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs Septemeber Release Day #3

Well, it's the last day of our new release hop at Lil' Inker Designs and I'm super excited to show off these last couple products but before we get into all that I have to make sure you are coming here after visiting Sarah.  If not, head on over to the the Lil' Inker Blog so you don't miss a a stop on the hop.  You won't want to miss a thing!  While you are visiting the Lil' Inker Blog, make sure you go check out the Lil' Inker Store where all of the new release goodies, and a whole lot more, are ready and waiting for you to put in your cart.  Now it's time to show off these fantastic products!  I've only got one card today but I think you'll really like it.

I home school my boys so if I was to make teacher cards, I'd be making them for myself.  Ha ha!  Luckily, I have a ton of teachers in this family of mine and sometimes, I like to let them know that they are awesome even if they aren't "officially" my boys' teacher.  They still play a big roll in our lives.  It takes a village, right?  I'm kind of in love with the new Teacher Talk Stamps.  Those apples are SO modern and fun.  I can see tons of possibilities.  Here's what I did with them.

I started with a stone colored card base and stamped some apples in colors that matched this neat number paper I used to line the shaker portions of my card which I made using the Apple Pieces Die Set.  So cute!!  Next, I cut a tag using Anytime Tags Die Set 2 from vellum and stamped my sentiment from Teacher Talk Stamps.  I folded the top portion of the tag over the edge of the card to give me the look of a banner then added my red Teacher Word Die to the banner.  I love the script of this die and it's the PERFECT size for all kinds of uses.  To finish off my card, I added an arrow clip just below the sentiment.
 
I hope you enjoyed my creations and will join the rest of the team on the hop.  You'll want to leave comments along the way because Laura gives out a $15 Lil' Inker Designs store credit to a lucky commenter each day of the hop.  It could be you.  I'm sure I'll see you on the hop and tomorrow for another fun day of release projects.  See you then!

Lil' Inker Designs September Release Day 2!

It's day two of the Lil' Inker Designs New Release Hop and I get to share even more fun goodies with you today!  I'm sure you've already been eyeing all the goodies since, lucky for you, you can get it all right now in the Lil' Inker Store.  You should have come here from the amazing Karen Baker's blog.  Hopefully, you can still see after she blinded you with her awesomeness!  If you didn't, don't miss out on anything and make sure you start at the beginning of the hop by going to the Lil' Inker Blog.  For now, I'm ready to show off some more fun stuff!

First up, I made a cute card using the Seen On Halloween Dies, Boo & Faces 2, and the Pumpkin Faces Die Set.

I started my card with this fun polkadot paper as a card base and then cut out and added texture to the the two coolest pumpkins ever using the Seen On Halloween Dies.  Did you notice that you can cut pumkins and then add stitching using these dies?  Absolutely the cutest little detail EVER!  I wanted my front pumpkin to have a little extra personality so I used the Pumpkin Faces Die Set to give him a super happy face.  Next, I stamped the sentiment I created with the Boo & Faces 2 set on a piece of brown stripe paper which I then layered on some black glitter paper and attached to the card.  I thought the little pumpkins needed a little extra fun so I added some banners that I cut with the Sentiment Flag Original Die and stapled before attaching them to my pumpkin.  Then I added a little bling to balance everything out.

My next card uses  Wrappers Delight:  Lattice, So Thankful Stamps, and the So Thankful Label Die.

I found this cute floral paper in a new 6x6 pad I bought and wanted to give it a go with the Wrappers Delight:  Lattice.  I hoped it wouldn't be too busy and in the end, with the Lattice in a solid color, I like it.  I wanted to do something a little different so I cut my So Thankful Label Die from wood veneer paper and stamped two images from So Thankful Stamps onto it.  I attached my wood frame to the Lattice and then a flower that I had from a long ago trip to Joanns.  I felt it needed a little something extra so I added some frosted dots on the frame.            

I hope you enjoyed my creations and will join the rest of the team on the hop.  You'll want to leave comments along the way because Laura gives out a $15 Lil' Inker Designs store credit to a lucky commenter each day of the hop.  It could be you.  I'm sure I'll see you on the hop and tomorrow for another fun day of release projects.  See you then!
