Merry Little Labels Stamp Set & Everyday Label Punch (Cute Gift Bag)

I saw a version of this somewhere on-line but WHERE is the question.
If any of you viewers know, please tell me so I can give that person credit
for this very cute gift bag!!
 
StampinUP sold these little bags at one point, so I had a few left to use in a recent class.
A few things you should know about this project......
 
1)  Santas' boots were made from the Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies
2)  The 6 little pcs. of "cotton" on the santa suit come from the Tree Builder Punch
3)  I just cut out two pcs. of real red card stock for the pant legs
4)  Brick Wall Folder was inked w/ Craft White before I ran thru the Big Shot
 
The sentiment from Merry Little Labels was stamped on white card stock &
cut out with the Everyday Label Punch
 
If you have questions, please let me know.  Oh, the "HO HO HO" comes from 
the "Oh, What Fun" Stamp Set (almost forgot)
 
Thanks- Lori

Seasonal Layers Thinlits Snowflakes (Simple Card I C.A.S.E.D.)

 
Soft Sky layering with a touch of white ribbon, white pearls, & gray ink.
This card is "easy-peasy" but very cute!

I used my "Simply Scored Scoring Tool" to make those 3 lines for the snowflakes.
The flakes come from the "Seasonal Layers Thinlits" (shown on pg. 216) 
in the StampinUP Annual Catalog.

The sentiment above comes from the "Cookie Cutter Christmas" Stamp Set.

Christmas Pines Stamp Set used in a recent Demonstrator Swap!!

Todays' post is a great idea from another Stray Ducklings Card Swap.
It was made by Roseanne U. from Peoria, IL
She used the "Christmas Pines" Stamp Set & "Pretty Pines Thinlits"

Just in case you have not caught this before......
I share my passion for stamps, ink, and paper with a special "flock"
of ladies in Central IL called the "Stray Ducklings".
Whenever we are together, feathers fly because of all the fun we have! (smile)
(this is a quote from another duckling- Kelly I.)
This is SO true Kelly!!

If you would like to join us in teaching and sharing our love
of stamps, ink, and paper- please contact me!
You can waddle along with us and have SO much fun doing it.... HaHa

I appreciate YOU visiting today and everyday!

Timeless Textures & Lift Me Up Stamp Sets together make Masuline Birthday Card

 Color Combo:  Wild Wasabi, Tangerine Tango, Sahara Sand, White

Here is a list of some StampinUP Products used:
-  Timeless Textures Stamp Set
-  Lift Me Up Stamp Set
-  Up & Away Thinlits
-  Wild Wasabi Bakers Twine (Retired)
-  White Bakers Twine

Tips:  1) Use a marker to highlight just the words "Happy Birthday" instead of the whole stamp.
2)  You can cut the sentiment out with that different shape above (part of the
balloon die in the Up & Away Thinlits)
3)  I laid those 6 pcs. of twine on the front layer (2 AT A TIME)& scotch taped them on the back.
4) Leave a tiny gap between those pairs of twine
5)  Take an extra little pc. of twine, and gather in the middle & tie a knot.

Your knot will be hidden under the sentiment and this little trick will give your twine a gathered in
the middle look!!  (please ask if you don't understand)

Once again, I truly appreciate you stopping by.
If you like what you see on my daily blog posts- please tell a friend!
Thank you- Lori

A Little "Kissing" w/ Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set & Best Birds by StampinUP

I used the "Kissing" Technique on this card.
If you look on pg. 24 in the Annual Catalog, you will see the big flower
stamp is a solid image.  This was easy to "kiss" to the nesting stamp
from the "Best Birds" Set on pg. 99
 
In order to achieve this cool pattern on the flower, this is what I did:
1)  Inked up the flower with Wisteria Wonder ink pad
2)  Stamped off one time on scratch paper so the ink was lighter (set aside)
3)  Inked up the bird nest image full strength with Elegant Eggplant 
4) Then the 2 stamps "kiss" each other (smile)
5)  I put the patterned stamp on top of the flower and pushed down
6)  After you add that pattern to the flower, you stamp the image on white paper

This is the kissing technique, and hopefully if you have never done this before,
you can give it a try by following the steps above.  If you don't have the stamps
I used, any solid stamp will work.  You can use polka dots or just
whatever fun stamps you have to make a pattern appear on your solid stamp!

Come on and give it a try........please ask if you have questions.
Thanks for blogging by.  Lori
