Pun Fun




Sorry for not posting on Tues/Thurs this week. I’ve been busy preparing the paper packs and delivering all the Sale-A-Bration orders. This is the second set of cards we made at this month’s Stamp-A-Stack. I like everyone to show their creativity and not necessarily copy my designs. Each person made 4 cards, choosing which images they wanted and coloring them with water color pencils and a blender pen. Some bows were attached with a mini glue dot, and others were tied through a hole made with the horizontal slot punch. I forgot one step when making these sample cards……..but at the SAS everyone stamped the top half (cardstock area) of the card using one of the stamps from “Sprinkles” or “Background Basics” (retired) with Versamark ink. It gave just a little more detail.
Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Pun Fun, (Sprinkles, Background Basics)
Paper: Jersey Shore designer series paper (retired), Pumpkin Pie, Brilliant Blue, Bashful Blue, Whisper White cardstock
Ink: Black Stazon, (Versamark)
Accessories: water color pencils, blender pen, ½” striped grosgrain ribbon (Bashful Blue & Pumpkin Pie), glue dots, horizontal slot punch

Club Project #3


This card was made using the “Loads of Love” and “Loads of Love accessories” stamp sets. My club members colored the image using the pastels, pencils, or stamp ‘n write markers. I don’t have an oval punch (yet!) so I used the Coluzzle for cutting the eggs from Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper. The paper is a Sale-A-Bration item, which you can get for FREE (16 sheets of 12 x 12 paper) with a $50 order through March 31st only. Contact me to place an order………on shop 24/7 from my website: kathywinter.stampinup.net Thanks for looking!

March Club Project #2


I have seen this little treat bag created by many demonstrators over the past few months. It is made using the Top Note Die/Big Shot and mini paper bags (I found mine at Michaels.) My bag uses Bashful Blue, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery cardstock. The flower is stamped using the Polka Dot Punches “Sale-A-Bration” set (LOVE IT!!!) and the 5 Petal Flower Punch. The sentiment is stamped using Yummy, another SAB stamp set. These sets are only available through March 31 and are FREE with a $50 order. I filled my bag with chocolate, of course! Thanks for looking!

March Club Project #1


This was the first project for March stamp club. Classic Black ink was stamped on Glorious Green card stock using the Polka Dot punches stamp set. (Time is running out to get the stamp set for FREE!!) The hearts were punched using the new full heart punch. The stem sentiment is from "Best Wishes and More". The white piece of card stock was run through the Big Shot using the tiny polka dot texture plate and layered on Green Galore then onto a Glorious Green card. A purchased gem is in the center on the shamrock. Thanks for looking!
