We R Memory Keepers Punch Boards - Pillow Box

 

Today we have TWO examples of how you can use the We R Memory Keepers' Pillow Box Punch Board. First would be a perfect gift card holder or small gift box for Christmas. Lauren used kraft paper by Neenah to create this pillow box and decorated it with ribbon from May Arts and a tag she created. The tag is using Lady Bug Memento ink on a white Neenah paper using a stamp from the Merry Christmas set by Hero Arts + BasicGrey. She tied the tag on using some embroidering floss and added three pears. Santa's beard is also outlined using a shimmer pen.

This second pillow box shows how you can make all kinds of lengths using your Pillow Box Punch Board. The box was punched out of purple patterend paper and Lauren created a cute tag that is tied around the pillow box using purple baker's twine. The small tag is decorated with stamps from Paper Smooches Needle Little Love with the flowers and leaves colored in with alcohol ink markers.

 

Aren't these pillow boxes just the cutest?! Come to Stamp Fever today to order yours!

We R Memory Keepers Punch Boards - Gift Bag

We R Memory Keepers' Punch Boards are amazing tools to help you make custom envelopes and packaging. Today we have a sample of what you can make using the Gift Bag Punch Board! Lauren used some patterned paper to punch out her gift bag and decorated it using brown baker's twine, brown pearls and created a Merry Christmas sentiment using gold embossing powder and VersaMark on white Neenah paper. The stamp is from Merry Christmas Hero Arts + BasicGrey.

 

Stop by the store this week to see this gift bag as well as the rest of the samples we will be showing our blog this week!

Basic Grey Season's Greetings Snowflake Card

Today we have DT Member Lauren's final card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad. This card is themed more for winter and uses the snowflake patterned paper form the set.

Lauren started with a kraft (by Neenah) card base and added some patterned paper from the 25th and Pine paper set. She foled up a doily and also added some blue card stock that was punched using a scalloped border punch by EK Success. Lauren added a little touch of silver using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. The "Seasons Greetings" ornament stamp from the Merry Christmas set was stamped in blue on whilte (by Nennah) and she glued a small ribbon using Lawn Fawn's Silver Lawn Trimmings.

 

 

Before using a 3D Foam Square to attach the ornament, she added a pice of glitter tape (by American crafts). She also cut out one of the snowflakes from the paper and glued it behind the doily, just so it peeked out a bit. There are three rhinestones to add some more "bling" to this festive card.

 

We hope you enjoyed Lauren's cards! She, along with all of our design team members, will be at the store on Saturday for our Holiday Open House with a make 'n take. Make sure to come by and say hi... And do a little shopping! :)

Basic Grey Christmas Tree Card

We're back today with more Christmas inspiration for you by DT Member Lauren. She created this Christmas Tree card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad.

 

 

 

The card base is kraft by Neenah and she stamped the Christmas tree in green ink on white paper also by Neenah. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's 25th and Pine. While the tree is from the Merry Christmas set by Basic Grey and Hero Arts, the "Be Merry" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's stamp set Peace Joy Love and stamped in red chalk ink.

 

 

Lauren crated the stitching look using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. Lauren likes to add a little "bling" to her cards and she used gold glitter on the tree and gold glitter tape by American Crafts. Finally, a little green seam binding ribbon to give the card some texture and dimension.

 

Come back to the blog on Thursday to see Lauren's final card using the Basic Grey products!

Merry Christmas Snowflakes

Happy Friday, stampers! Today and the beginning of next week we will be featuring DT Member Robin's gorgeous Christmas cards using the Just Snowflakes Too stamp set from Jillian Vance Designs. Today's card is a gorgeous red and white Christmas card. Keep reading to see how Robin created her card.

This Merry Christmas card design was inspired by the Halloween Make 'n Take we had at Stamp Fever. At the time, Sizzix had not released the die to make this card, so Robin invented her own method (more difficult and time consuming) to make this card. Using the Jillian Vance Just Snowflakes Too stamp set, the three snowflakes were stamped with Memento Ink, die cut using the coordinating dies from Jillian Vance and placed on the red circles. A simple sentiment from Hero Arts and a red bow complete this card. Linda at Stamp Fever has ordered the die cut set from Sizzix to make this card easy to cut out and assemble. Call now to see if she has any left so you can make this card, too!

We hope you have a great weekend and remember to stop by Stamp Fever!

Snowy Christmas Card

Today we have DT Member Katie's last CAS-ual Fridays card using the Naughty or Nice stamp set. Using the same sentiment as the card from Tuesday, she created a different card with a different look and feel. Keep reading to see how she put this card together.

Of course she used CAS-ual Fridays stamp set Naughty or Nice. She also used Penny Black's snow dust stamp. The star gems are from Hero Arts. If you really liked this card and the Santa Claus card from Tuesday, keep an eye out for her next class featuring these cards in our Newsletter and our Upcoming Classes & Events page!

We hope you enjoyed Katie's cards; leave her a comment to tell her how much you liked them!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

We're back today with another card from DT Member Katie using CAS-ual Fridays stamp set Naughty or Nice. Today's card is using the stamp set for Christmas! It's not too early to show off some Christmas cards, right? After all, it's only 2 months away and we've got to get started on our Christmas cards!

This cute Santa Claus card features the stamps from CAS-ual Fridays Naughty or Nice, of course. The background stamp is from Penny Black and stamped with Hero Arts ink in silver. Katie used a pice of vellum on top to create a frame around the feature of the card. The gifts are cut out from Lawn Fawn's Fa-La-La Christmas paper. Katie also used a die for the snowflake; too cute right?

Stop by Stamp Fever to get inspiration for the holidays and start thinking about the Christmas cards you're going to send out this year!

Leaves Autumn Harvest Card

Lawn Fawn products are so versatile and can be used with other stamps and products you may have in your craft stash. Today we have a card from DT Member Lauren showing how she used Lawn Fawn's leaves dies with Hero Arts Autumn Leaves stamp set.

 



Lauren used a cream card stock for her base and to stamp the "Leaves Autumn Harvest" banner sentiment. Then using her die cut machine, ran the Lawn Fawn leaves dies through in different colored cardstock: yellow, orange, red and brown. Perfect Autum Leaf colors! She layered the leaves in the center of the card and glued down some Lawn Fawn Trimmings in a loopy pattern.

The sentiment is adhered to the card using 3D squares and there's a few rhinestones in there to add a little shine to the card. This is her favorite card using the Autumn Leaves set. She recomments this set on this sentiment alone! :)

 

Are you getting ready for Fall? What products are you favorite for this time of year?

Hero Arts Thankful Card

Happy Monday, stampers! We're excited to show you some more inspiration of how you can use the product we sell at Stamp Fever at home. Today we have a card by DT Member Lauren using Hero Arts' set Autumn Leaves.

 

Lauren used the leaf, acorn and "Thankful" scalloped circle sentiment on this card. She used Versarmark to create the background of leaves and acorns on the kraft paper. There really was no certain pattern she was going for, just stamped them in random places and make sure she changed the way the stamp faced.

One of her favorite products that we have at Stamp Fever is the heart wood grain washi tape from Freckled Fawn. It's pretty darn cute! She ripped a piece off and placed it directly to the card. Lauren stamped the sentiment on white card stock three times - once each in brown, orange and yellow ink. She layered them all together using 3D squares and added some Stickles to the dots in the scallops for a little bling. :)

 

Do you use washi tape on your cards or other projects? What is your "go to" washi right now?
