Gingerbread Ephemera Tiles

Hi there,

the wonderfully talented Shery has added some new products to the Paper Goods Section of the STAMPlorations Store and the Gingerbread - Ephemera Tiles is one of them:

• choose two of the STAMPlorations Gingerbread - Ephemera Tiles and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• adhere one of the STAMPlorations Good Tidings Stickers to a strip of kraft cardstock and ink up the edges with that same brown Distress Ink
• create a background by applying Distress Oxide Ink (Festive Berries, Pine Needles) through the ARTplorations Holly Background stencil and ink up the edges of the panel with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• adhere the panel with all the elements onto a kraft cardbase

• cut out three CUTplorations Manila Tags from kraft cardstock and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• create three different background using text elements from the STAMPlorations Joyful set and Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves
• choose three of the STAMPlorations Gingerbread - Ephemera Tiles and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• create name tags with a Dymo Label Maker and adhere them to a strip of kraft cardstock
• thread natural twine and golden thread through the holes of the tags

• choose one of the STAMPlorations Gingerbread - Ephemera Tiles and ink up the edges with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
• stamp the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Hello Christmas set with Versamark onto a rectangular panel cut from kraft cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Gold Rich Paler Super Fine embossing powder
• stamp the sentiment again - this time slightly offset - with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves to create a drop-shadow
• add splatters with watered-down white acrylic paint
• wrap some natural twine around the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

I hope you got inspired for some early Christmas Projects.

Hugs,

Sending you some Positivi-tea

Hi there,

I created this sweet card using the Gerda Steiner Designs Positivi-tea stamp set:

• stamp the tea pot, tea cup and the tea bag from the Gerda Steiner Designs Positivi-tea set with Lawn Fawn River Rock
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils 
• adhere the images to a Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Circle cut from Neenah Desert Storm kraft cardstock using foam tape
• ink up the edges with Distress Ink Tea Dye
• create a background on a rectangular piece of Neenah Desert Strom kraft cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders
• stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark onto a piece of kraft cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• layer a strip of turquoise cardstock underneath the sentiment strip
• adhere all the elements to a kraft cardbase

I hope you got inspired.
