BSS MONDAY IDEA - Acetate Jars

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Have you had a play with Acetate lately?  Me either.  But this stamp set 

just screamed acetate to me, AND it is a Valentine set, so since we are into February already, seemed like a perfect time to showcase this wonderful set.

This set by Taylored Expressions has six stamps, three word stamps

and the jar, the hearts, and x;s and o's, AND a die to cut out the 

stamped jars.  That's where the acetate comes in.  I cut the jar die out of acetate

so they looked like glass jars.

The finished card.

The inside.

Elephant Birthday

Hi friends.  Finally a break in the temps today.  Our Grandkids had no school Tuesday and Wednesday because of the very cold temps, but compared to down South where they had snow and ice and are not used to dealing with it, we were lucky.  Spring cannot come soon enough this year!

I ordered this darling little Elephant and the gift boxes, which are Magnolia.  I could not wait to ink them up and use them when I got them.

Little Elephant and gift boxes are by Magnolia.

BSS MONDAY IDEA -

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF MONDAY IDEA.

Every Monday a new card or project with a new idea.

Can you say cold!  I can't remember when I have stayed in for such long periods of

time, but it has been good for creating!  So, because it has been so cold and snowy, I

thought I would share a snowman stamp I bought and didn't get inked up yet.

I wanted to mix a couple of unusual colors and change up the design a little.  Hope you like it.

Today I am sharing a snowman set from Stampendous and a

little different layout.

This is a snowman set from Stampendous (details below)

that comes with a tree, a word stamp and the little snowflake I used on the front of the card.

A double row of snowflakes

The finished card front.

I combined lime green with Navy blue and white.

The inside of the card.

Card Recipe

Stamp Set - Stampendous-Jumbo Top Hat Snowman (CRS5056)

Inside Sentiment - Whipper Snapper Designs (IW 860)

Designer Paper - Bazzill Basics Huckleberry Pie 6x6 Pad

White embossing powder for inside sentiment and snowflakes

on the front of the card.

Circle punch for snowflakes.

Cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots

WOW Embossing Powder - Neutral Ultra Shimmer (WS02R)

Snowflake punch along inside

Marvey circle punches for inside

Stampendous - Frantage Chunky White Embossing Enamel (FREG021)

Colored with Copic Markers

The squares on the front were cut at 1 1/2x1 1/2 inches.  The polka dot designer paper

was trimmed on each edge with decorative scissors (postage stamp). A lime green mat

and the embossed white piece were cut to fit the remaining space on the 5x7 inch card.

Snowflakes were stamped with Versamark, then embossed with white embossing powder

and using a small circle punch punched out and popped up on the squares.

After coloring the snowman, I used a small sponge applicator to apply Versamark to

his face and body and embossed with the WOW embossing powder for sparkle.

I cut him out, and sprinkled some Frantage Chunky White embossing enamel on

him and heated from underneath, so that it doesn't just blow off when you use the heat gun.

Glued a small piece of fluffy feather to the birds tail on his hat.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

LITTLE SWEETHEART

WOW, we are in the midst of another very cold spell.  Just a miserable couple of days with really cold temps and blowing snow and high winds at times.  Only have been out when we have to.  Have been picking up my Grands from school because it is too cold to walk.

I pulled my Magnolia Valentines Stamps out today.  Forgot how many I have and how darling they are.

Love her little shoes and chubby little legs.

Snowman

Hello again.  I won the challlenge at Addicted to Stamps and More last week (thank you ladies).

I was thrilled to receive three sets of digis from Deedee's Digis.  One of the sets I chose is this adorable snowman.

Isn't he cute?  Love his hat.

Anyway, the challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More is CAS.

I have to admit I struggle with Clean and Simple Cards, because I love bling

and embellishments, but because this little guy is so cute by himself, I thought I would

give it a go.

I am also entering this card into the challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge, theme this challenge is

Letter B - Bare Essentials

Stamp and Sentiment are a set from Deedee's Digis

Red and white Cardstock

Darice snowflake embossing folder

Fiskars corner punch

Gold Stickles on hat

I printed twice and cut out the front leg, arm and carrot nose to

pop up to give depth.

Colored with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful  day.  Until later.......

BEE MINE

Hi friends.  Hope you're keeping warm if you are in the midst of winter where you are.  We are cold again, wind chill 10 below today.  Good day to stay in and create.

I made this card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  This month's theme is "New". I recently purchased a new Penny Black Sentiment clear stamp set called From the Heart, and I have used a sentiment

from this set on my card.  Also, Penny Black and More January Challenge, Love is in the Air.

 I paired it with this vintage (1998) stamp from Penny Black that I just love.

And this is my finished card.

I punched small red hearts and stamped a small bee stamp to create a background on the

yellow textured card stock.

Banner created with bright red textured cardstock.

Colored with Copics.

I have a bunch of little ones in my family that I send Valentines to, and I know just who

is getting this one!

Long time since I played at Penny Black, used to play every week before they went to 

once a month, my poor PB stamps are feeling neglected.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Until later....
