Glittery card

This is Day 12, the final day of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV. Today we are to use Glitter on our card.

I don't have any Stardust pens so I used Glitz embossing powder to give the sparkle. I officially ran out of ideas for a sentiment from the Gina K stamps I have so I left it without a sentiment. I did stamp the middle snowflake on a separate piece of paper so I could replace it if I wanted to add a sentiment.

Here are the products I used:

Gina K Designs Snow Frame set and matching die cut
Versamark ink
Recollections Glitz embossing powder
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Recollections Rhinestone stickers

One layer card

For Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV we are to make a one layer card that uses a die to make a border. You trace along the inside of the die to make the border on your card.

This is a very simple one layer card. I used Crayola markers to colour the stamps and I found that it worked better on the rubber stamp than the clear stamp. 

Here are the products I used:

Gina K Designs stamps: Love and Prayers set, Fabulous Holiday Fillers set, Fabulous Frame set

Crayola markers

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Jar Labels

Staedtler Fineliner marker

Heat Embossed Card

We're up to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV. This time we are to use a heat embossed background made with an embossing folder.

I had not done this technique before so it was another nice learning experience. I felt that this embossing folder really didn't need much in the way of embellishment so I only added the sentiment, and a small one at that!  I used a Sizzix embossing folder from the Doily set, Recollections Sapphire and Snow embossing powders and the sentiment is from the Gina K Designs Fabulous Frame set. 

Distressed letterpress card

The 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV are up to Day 9 with the distressed letterpress technique as the challenge. Here is my card.

I love this embossing folder and it seemed perfect for this technique. It is from the Spring set by Cuttlebug. I used Stampin' Up! Bashful Blue for the background and Peach Parfait for the design. The sentiment is from the Gina K Designs Fabulous Holiday Fillers and is attached with some foam tape. It is stamped with the Peach Parfait which was also sponged on the die cut.

Woodgrain card

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV calls for us to use the woodgraining technique.

This is another technique that I have not done very often. My deck is a reddish brown colour so that's where I got my inspiration. I don't have very many Gina K stamps so I am glad to get a new idea for a technique. 

Here are the products I used:

Ink - ColorBox Frost White, Stampin' Up! Bravo Burgundy

Gina K Designs Snow Frame set and Fabulous Frame set

Cut file for the snowflake

Gatefold card

The 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV is on Day 7 and the challenge is to make a gatefold card.

Instead of using wrapping paper for the background paper, I used the patterned paper to wrap the gifts on the card! I used some twine, coloured it with Spectrum Noir markers to match the presents and made the bows.

I used the following products:

Gina K Designs Cold Snap patterned paper and A Gift for You stamp set

Spectrum Noir markers DR5 and JG6

Simon Says Stamp postage stamp die

ColorBox Cranberry ink

Distressed Newsprint

For Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV we were challenged to use distressed newsprint on our project.

I had never used this technique before so it was nice to tackle something new. My mother loves green, brown and orange so I decided to use those colours.

Here are the products I used:

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress ink- Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint; Recollections - Chestnut; Stampabilities -           Acorn Squash

Gina K Designs stamps - flower from the Love and Prayers set, sentiment from the Fabulous Holiday         Fillers set

Spellbinders Shapeabilities Jar Labels

Spectrum Noir marker EB3 on the flower middle

Card from a sketch

Day 5! On the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV today we were given a sketch to base our card on.

I used the middle of the Fabulous Frame for the focal image and then used the belly bands on the sides. They don't quite fit, since the oval is turned the other way, but I think they work. I used the flower image and embossed it with clear embossing powder for the background.

Here are the products I used:

Gina K Designs products: Fabulous Frames, Especially for You set

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, ColorBox Frost White

Spectrum Noir markers: PL2, PL3, PL5, CT2

Recollections Embossing Powder:Clear, Snow

Bazzill Basics Simply Smooth white cardstock

Red, white and blue card

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV asks us to make a project using the colours Turquoise Sea, Red Hot and White(or colours that are close). I used colours that are close.

I stamped the background using the stamping off technique and used a die to cut out the ornament.

Here are the products I used:

Impression Obsession ornament die

Cold Snap patterned paper (Gina K Designs)

Gina K Designs Fabulous Frame set - sentiment

Gina K Designs Fabulous Holiday Fillers - snowflake

Salty Ocean Tim Holtz Distress ink

Vellum card

The challenge for Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas on Stamp TV is to make a Stained Glass Vellum project. Here is my card.

After I coloured the yellow part and it dried, I thought it looked a little streaky so I went over it again. That got rid of the streaks but made it darker/brighter so I'm not sure it has the stained glass effect anymore. Oh, well. I do like the way the butterflies in the background shine in the light. You can see this on the right hand side of the card.

These are the products I used:

Spectrum Noir markers: OR1, OR2, OR3, EB4, CT4, JG7

Really Rust Stampin' Up! ink

Martha Stewart Copper Penny embossing powder

Gina K Designs Fabulous Frame set
