Hanna Sneak Peek - Halloween {Trick Or Treat}

Here is a little trick or treat sack which I made with my new Hanna Halloween set called Trick Or Treat. I used some wasabi textured cardstock (yes! I have some leftovers) With the pre-scoring - I just needed to make one score. I used my nestablilites and cut a scalloped circle in the front of the wasabi. I also cut a little frame with nestabilties and some pumpkin paper. I stamped the Boo! sentiment directly on the wasabi candy holder with black ink. I love this new archival black ink by Ranger. It makes a great clean images! I stamped the pumpkin on white cardstock and colored it in with Pumpkin ink. I also used a wasabi drenched blender pen for the stem. I trimmed up the pumpkin and put it on the open circle. Three (naked) buttons on the bottom corner and some orange polka dot ribbon on the top!
The bag holds some Cami-patties. What are Cami-patties. Let me tell you! My friend Cami came up with these awesome treats. You take your SU! scalloped circle punch, you stamp the sentiment (for this I used Trick or Treat), and then you apply some mono on the back of the cardstock and stick the scalloped circle on either side of a peppermint patty. I like these because Peppermint Patties are not my favorite - so I don't snack while I am stamping! I digress! I put the Cami-patties in a baggie (from Michael's) and attached it to the inside of the holder. You can use staples or brads to hold the bag in place! Happy Halloween! (And play along with the Hanna Stamps! challenge #28 (HSC28) at SCS by using Buttons on your project) HSC28 is the keyword.

FS77: Artystamper

This week's Featured Stamper is Julia (aka Artystamper). This is the card which she made {I felt the baby shoes}. I created this card with the new Sock Monkey set from SU! I also used the new sentiment from SU! called Heard from the heart. This was a fun card to make.

Changes: stamp set - ribbon

I started with a white base. I stamped the sentiment in archival black on the white base. I stamped the cupcake from the sock monkey set on whisper white, then again on designer paper (crate paper). I colored the bottom of the cupcake/white cardstock, then trimmed the top of the cupcake/designer paper, and placed it on the white cardstock copy. I punched the cupcakes out with a circle punch. I punched the scalloped circle in celery. Now was the fun part. I did not have the Martha lacey punch, but I did have my new SU! punch. I used the new su scallop punch, then punched holes in each scallop with a regular hole punch. Then I ran it through the Paisley CB folder. Not the same thing, but pretty kewl! Two layers of bashful blue, run through the swiss dots folder. The cupcake images are raised on dimensionals. I also used some fun Mayarts ribbon which I got from Cindy (starlitstudio). Two big Tarjay pearls on each end of the sentiment. A little sakura stardust on the candle and the bottom of the cupcake.

What do you think! Good case?

Design: Watermark requirements for SU!

Did you know that Stampin' Up! ® requires both customers and demonstrators to watermark their creations when they upload them to online galleries, websites and blogs? I didn't realize that. I also found out the requirements which Stampin' Up! ® has for their copyright information.

According to the "watermark expert" at demonstrator support, "the watermarks should have Copyright Stampin' Up! ® below or near the image. The year is no longer required in the watermark."

You can always ask me questions about watermarks. I will research it for you and post those questions in my Frequently Asked Questions section {FreckledANDFun-FAQ}

Color Round Up # 17: I love you

Here is Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #17

I told you I got to stamp today! TWO CARDS!






I was looking at that dress thinking how awesome it was! I took a piece of whisper white paper and grabbed a few stamp sets and created my own patterned paper. I used the regal, rose and sage ink with Kitchen Sink Stamps (Happy Birthday Cupcake and Swirly hearts & stars, plus Ready 4 any holiday).

The faux designer paper was easy to create - just keep stamping and filling in white space. The regal base has a piece of sage paper atop it. The sage paper is punched with the new SU! scalloped edge punch. I used whisper white to stamp the sentiment on (from KSS - Ready 4 any holiday). I used the SU! designer label punch (regal rose paper) and a larger circle punch (regal rose). The white circle is on dimensionals, just atop some MayArts (starlitstudio) ribbon. I used three rose baubles on the bottom edge. Ta DA!

Did I mention that all Kitchen Sink Stamps are on sale at 15 % off Today, Tomorrow and Friday!

Color Round Up # 17: Hi Regal Rose Sage!!!

This is the color inspiration from Kristina Werner's blog - I love to participate, but hardly ever get to play! Today I made a point to get stamping! It's one of those crazy rainy days here on the East Coast - thunder ALL DAY! Lots of Lightning. I took the kids to VBS and then out to lunch at the Cracker Barrel!

Some napped, some played with their webkinz and I stamped! Here is my first card: I used a regal rose base. I corner rounded the edges, used versamark ink with my backgrounds and borders set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I used SU! white embossing powder and heat set the card. I used a Rose Red Scalloped circle and whisper white circle. I stamped the HI sentiment (Kitchen Sink Stamps/Playful Alphabet) with Regal Rose ink. I used a Sage Ribbon to make it look like a flower. Rose Red scalloped circle on dimensionals.
Seriously easy card! Seriously!
