Day 6 of Holiday Stampin'

Altered Corkboard - I purchased these 4" square corkboards some time ago for just one dollar each. I love deal like this! I took a 6"x6" piece of chipboard and covered it with the Holiday Treasures DSP. Wrapped Riding Hood Red Tafetta Ribbon around the bottom. The verse if from the Holiday Mini Catalog - Season of Friendship stamp set. I stamped that in Riding Hood Red ink on Whisper White cardstock and mounted it onto Riding Hood Red cardstock and used my Scallop Border Punch on the bottom. I covered the push pins and added a scallop circle to the top and some post it notes to the side. Another quick and easy gift to make! Let me know if you make one!

Weekend Sketch Challenge #61

Okay - I did it again! The 2nd. weekend in a row that I took the Beate's WSC! This card is why out of the elements for me! Not even sure if I really like it! I used the set "Season of Friendship" from the Holiday Mini Catalog - I just love this tree!! I started by stamping the tree trunk with Chocolate Chip ink. I used Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, and Rose Red markers to ink the leaves. I then used my Coluzzle to cut the shape around the tree and mounted it to my card base, which is Pumpkin Pie. I used a 3/4" square punch and inserted these squares at an angle around the image shape. I then used my Large Circle Punch and Summer Sun cardstock - and also used the 3/4" square punch with Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red cardstock. I stamped my verse with chocolate chip and layered this across the circle. I mounted all this on the card with dimensionals. I then used my Crafter's Tool Kit to paper pierce - which is so much fun! Like I said - not really sure if I like the finished product - but it was fun doing something out of the ordinary for me!
