STAR OF LIGHT CARDS

2016 S.U. Holiday Catalog, 2016-2017 Stampin Up annual catalog, Cards, Christmas, deals, Holidays, pictures 3 Comments

Here is a card made from the stamp set Star of Light from Stampin Up.  I used pool party and sweet sugarplum as the colors with frosted metallic sequins which come in the colors of soft sky (very close to pool party), sweet sugarplum and silver.  I used the pool party and sweet sugarplum glitter ribbon as well.  Then I added a few rhinestones .  I just love these colors together and was inspired by the two glitter ribbons and sequins that I had.  This is a beautiful stamp set that comes with 21 stamps including greetings.  There is also a matching set of dies which includes 7 dies (see the next card below for use of die).  This is such a great value and even better when you buy the two items together as a bundle.  You get 10% off when you bundle.

This card was inspired and CASEd from Renee Torres and uses the same stamp set, Star of Light.  In this one I used two dies from the Starlight Thinlits that match the stamp set.  I used the same colors as the first one above.  I stamped the star on pool party and then cut it out with one of the dies and cut the second layer of the star in white using another of the dies. I also used the Frosted Metallic Sequins on this card.

This last card is also made from the Star of Light stamp set. Here I used grey and pool party and the design was from the CASEing Tuesday challenge which used the card on page 48 of the Holiday Catalog (far left) as the sample.  I used the large star stamp and added rhinestones to it.  The layers are some DSP (no longer available) and the pool party glitter ribbon (on sale in our clearance rack for under $3.00).  Then a layer of grey with the sentiment on it.  I embossed the lower pool party layer with the Falling Snow Textured Embossing Folder found in the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.

Please visit my online store at darleneseitz.stampinup.net if you are interested in buying this stamp set or matching dies.  Also please check out the clearance rack for lots of great deals, many under $3.00.   There are also other great holiday items in both the annual catalog and the holiday catalog.  I also sell ready made cards, like the ones above in sets for the holidays and all year long for any occasion.  If you are interested, please email me at darstz@hotmail.com or leave a comment on this post and I will send you details and choices.

Hope you all are having a great weekend and as always,

Happy Crafting

HALLOWEEN–SWEATER PUMPKIN AND CARDS

2016 S.U. Holiday Catalog, crafts other than cards, fall and autumn, pictures 1 Comment

20160912_13154020160912_13150520160912_131449 Aren’t these adorable!  They can be made with a sweater or a stretchy shirt.  These were made from the sleeve.  You can make two to three pumpkins from one sleeve.  From the middle of the shirt you can make one big pumpkin.  Cut the sleeve into two or three pieces.  Sew the bottom with a gather stitch and gather, turn inside out to do this.  Do the same at the top opening and gather but leave a hole at the top to stuff it.  Stuff and pull all the way tight and then sew down the middle so the top indents some.  Hot glue a stick in the middle, add some buttons and a bow with rope or whatever you want.  Thanks to Debbie Martin for showing us how to do this today.

HALLOWEEN CARDS MADE WITH PRODUCTS FROM THE 2016 HOLIDAY CATALOG.

These cards were made from products from the new StampinUp Holiday catalog for 2016.  The first one is a peek-a-boo card.  When you open it, the greeting slides up to the opening (oval).  The DSPaper and the string are from the catalog.  The mummy card is a shaker card.  This halloween stamp set, called Cookie Cutter Halloween is adorable and pairs with the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set that has a matching punch with it.  You can also use the punch to punch out four adorable figures that come in the Halloween set.  The stamp set, the paper and the string all come from the Holiday catalog.  The third card uses an embossing folder that looks like a sweater and gives a 3D effect to the card.  The stamp is called Halloween Treat and the Designer Series Paper and the black and orange paper also come from the catalog.  There are many more items that are just as cute in the Holiday Catalog.  If you don’t have a catalog yet and would like one (and you don’t already have a demonstrator), just leave a comment on this post and I will get one to you.  You can also email me at darstz@hotmail.com.  To see the catalog online and to shop in my store, go to http://darleneseitz.stampinup.net.
