Creating framed art with stamps and punches

 
Temperatures are dropping here, so a penguin in hat and scarf doesn't seem so far fetched! I paper pieced the little guy's clothing for a special project I made for my American Ink team Christmas party gift exchange.
 


Here's the finished project. I've seen so many framed art pieces and have been wanting to make one. I used Candlelight Christmas Specialty dsp, along with a handful of punches (scallop square, 1-3/8" square, wide oval, 1-3/8" circle, mitten builder, and tag), and the Scallop Squares Duo die for the Big Shot. The colors are pulled from the dsp - Early Espresso, Red Red and Old Olive. Stamp sets used include Joyous Celebrations, No Peeking, Tags til Christmas, Word Play, Delightful Decorations, and Snow Much Fun. To add some bling, there are Brights glimmer brads on the mittens, a rhinestone on the Noel ornament, and Dazzling Diamonds glitter on several of the images.

I'll share photos of the party tomorrow! You'll love the gifts (and probably want to make them for yourself!).

No Peeking for Merry Monday


One of Santa's reindeer from the No Peeking stamp set made it to the front of this Christmas card for Merry Monday Challenge #33. I tried adding black rhinestones and pearls for the eyes, but it made the reindeer look a bit mad! lol

 
I did end up with pearls on the designer paper. But first, the Very Vanilla card was embossed with the Argyle folder, then I tied a Cherry Cobbler seam binding bow around the middle. The reindeer fit in one label framelit, and I used the next size up with Be of Good Cheer dsp. You can see from the sketch below that I just turned it on its side.
 
 
I love simple sketches like this! I am using this card for a 10-card Christmas class. I'd love to hear what you think about this card. Then you should visit the other designers to see their amazing creations!
