HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! {Ippity} Stamps- Because of You

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I hope you are having a very blessed day shared with your families and friends.

Here is a card that showcases Unity Stamp Co's new line of stamps called {Ippity}. This set is called, Because of You, which I find to be a very versatile kit. There is so much potential with the stamps in this kit, my mind was spinning while creating this card. This is just a quickie card I threw together while watching my daughter stamp! LOL.

Please take a moment to check out my {Ippity} stamps page. If you like the stamps, you can purchase them right here on my blog!! How cool is that??

I combined this week's SCS Color Challenge #246 (Teal, Olive and Pink) and SCS Sketch Challenge #256 for this card. Check out the challenges at SCS, posted daily, to get you headed in the right direction.

Supplies used: Stamps: Ippity- Because of You. Papers: SU- Teal, Olive and Pink. Ink: Memento. Accessories: distressing, Smooch paints, white gel pen.

Snow Much Fun

Here is another rectangular sketch from Ally over at So Sketchy. I made this card 4X8" I love, love, love the new stamp company Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, have you checked them out yet?? The images are so whimsical and super-fun to color with Copics!! This image is called Antionnette.

These are the Copics I used for coloring in the image of Antionnette.

Supplies: Stamps: Kraftin Kimmie Stamps- Antionnette. Papers: Prism- Iced Pink, Intense Pink and Cosmo Cricket- Nutmeg DSP. Ink: Memento. Accessories: MS Loops punch (on inside) SU Circle punches, Copics, Moonlight Smooch and Score-Pal.

Believe with All your Heart

I love when Ally gives me a rectangular sketch to work with for the So Sketchy Blog. I never keep the same size when creating a rectangular card, I like to switch it up each time, and that is why they are so much fun!! The finished size of this card is 3.5X7" I used another snowflake medallion for this project, check out the tutorial on SCS, its such a neat addition to any project!!

Here is the inside of my card.

Supplies: Stamps: Unity Stamp Co- November STORE Kit (outside sentiment) and Bright and Merry Winter Wishes (inside sentiment).

Warms My Heart

Here's a card I made usings Ally's fabulous sketch, found over at So Sketchy. I love all the elements she included on this card, a grid background, some circles and small embellishments. Did you see how I did my grid background?? I scored it, using my Scor-Pal. :-) My card is a 5.5X5.5" square, you can make yours any size you want! My snowman is paper-pieced.

PM Inspirations: Holiday Decor- Mug Charms

Here is another sample of Holiday Ornaments/Decor items you can make, using wonderful suplies found in the Paper Maniac Store. Today, I decided to make "Mug Charms." Since the holidays are upon us, so are the holiday parties. Have you ever had a time when you attended a gathering and you put your mug (or wine glass) down, and after a bit of time socializing, you forget which mug is yours?? These cute charms are so easy to make, and will help out with that kind of situation. (Simply label the backs of the charms with your guests names.)

Here they are hanging on the mugs!! I used the adorable cocoa mug stamp from Imaginisce, found right in the Paper Maniac store. You can even make wine glass charms too, all you need is a bag of plain hoops (found at Walmart or any craft store in the jewelery section) and some small beads to place on the sides of the charm, for added decoration or a burst of color. I colored the stamped image with my Copics and used a little Taffy smooch on the inside of the hearts for some shimmer. Label the back of the charms with your guests' names.

Happy Holidays!!

Snowflake Medallion Ornament

Today, our Paper Maniac focus is Ornaments and Decor for the holidays, using Nestabilities dies. There are TONS of them in stock in the Paper Maniac Store. I am showcasing an ornament I made using the Nestabilities Create-a-Flake dies. I LOVE these dies, they are sooooo versatile- you can create so much with them- cards, ornaments, embellishments and more!

I used the SCS Snowflake Medallion tutorial for my project, and then just turned the medallion into an ornament, instead of an embellishment for a card. I LOVE how sparkly it is- can you imagine your tree decorated with tons of sparkly snowflakes?? Unfortunately, when I got home yesterday afternoon, it was dark (so much for daylight savings time), so I could not place this on a tree branch, but I hope you can see how sparkly it is against the black paper.

Join in the Holiday crafting fun- visit the Paper Maniac blog every day in November for some really neat holiday projects and inspiration!!
