Flashback Friday: Cowboy Christmas

Welcome to Flashback Friday!  This week we are flashing back to 2000 for the super cute Christmas set called Cowboy Christmas.

I have to admit that I bought this set because I loved it, but this is the first time I have used it!

I didn't want the card to be too busy, the cowboy should stand out.  But I wanted to use as many of the fun stamps as possible, so here's what I did.

1.  Used Real Red for my card base to have a Christmas color for the card.

2.  Added a layer of Crumb Cake.  Stamped the cows and the cactus with Crumb Cake for a tone on tone look.

3.  Stamped the cowboy onto Glossy card stock with StazOn Black.  Colored him in with a blender pen and stamp pads.  Die cut the image using the Deco Label Framelits.

4.  Die cut a Gumball Green layer using one of the Apothecary Accents Framelits.  I put it under the left side of the Deco Framelit to add a splash of green.  Trimmed of the right side of the white Deco label to line up with the edge of the Crumb Cake layer.

5.  Punched small stars out of So Saffron (retired punch) and added them around the card with a bit of Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive.  Added a Daffodil Delight Candy Dot to the center of each star.

6.  The final touch was the extra part of the greeting.  I added "sending you" from Endless Wishes stamped with Chocolate Chip.  I like the way it's broken up to say "sending you Joy".

That's it!  A super cute Cowboy Christmas card!!!  I always embellish the inside of my cards but don't usually show you.  I just had to post this one.

I added the cows again to go with the greeting "Have an udderly wonderful Christmas!"  How cute is that!

Thanks so much for stopping by for my flashback!  Have a great stamping day!

Flashback Friday: Best Fiends and a Tutorial

It's Friday!!  Time for a new flashback.  Today we go back to 2006 for the Halloween set Best Fiend.

Instead of sharing a card today, I am sharing a fun little Halloween treat and a tutorial so you can make one too!

These spooky treats are made using the Chalk Talk framelits, the largest tag is the outside of the box!
I made this projects to use up a couple sheets of double embossed paper that I did last year.  I used the Spider Web Embossing Folder to emboss Kiwi Kiss card stock for a card.  A quarter sheet of paper is just right for die cutting 2 tags for the box.  I did a quick picture tutorial for you. This project is super easy and makes a fun gift!

I didn't have to do any embellishment to the box itself, the double embossing was enough!  I just added a tag with a greeting.  I used another tag from the Chalk Talk Framelits.  I stamped the spider from Best Fiends and added a greeting from the set Twick or Tweet that I featured a few weeks ago.  The greeting was just too perfect with the spider.  It says " It's Halloween....enjoy every bite."  I added the tag to the box with retired Black Organza ribbon and the treat is complete!!  I am working on a tutorial for the double embossing technique that I will share next week.

Thanks so much for checking out this week's Flashback Friday!  Have a great stamping day!

Flashback Friday: On the Go

Welcome back to Flashback Friday!  This week we are traveling back to 1999 for the set On the Go.  I got this set for masculine cards, lots of on the go activities!  Here is a picture of the set.

I am trying to keep a balance of how many girly cards I make versus guy cards...it never balances!  So I went with a fun guy card since I already had Gorgeous Grunge out from yesterday's card.  Take a look.

Fun guy card, huh!  What guy doesn't love to go out and get muddy on the ATV?!  I had a blast making this card, there a two great new stamp sets this year that work perfect with it!  The first of course is Gorgeous Grunge, and the second is Rev Up the Fun.  The greetings are PERFECT for this stamp!
Here's the basics of what I did.  Went with Whisper White card base.  Added splotches and such from Gorgeous Grunge using Crumb Cake Ink, Soft Suede Ink, and Sahara Sand Ink.  Added the birthday greeting from Rev Up the Fun, stamped with Soft Suede ink.  Stamped the ATV rider on Whisper White and die cut it with a circle framelit.  I also die cut a Soft Suede circle to mat the ATV.   I put the matting off center, it gave me room to do a little paper piercing for a little extra touch.

A very fun card!  Simple and quick to make.  I hope you like it!  Thanks so much for stopping by to see my Flashback Friday card!

Flashback Friday: Fall Whimsy

Welcome to another Flashback Friday!  This week I am featuring Fall Whimsy from 2003.  This is a well loved set that I haven't used in awhile.  But it's perfect for fall cards which is what I'm working on for the bookstore that I sell at.  Here's the stamp set.

I wanted to add current products to the retired that I used.  So I made a flip card with the Circle Flip thinlet. 

I absolutely LOVE making these flip cards!  I used to do them the hard way with the framelits.  This way is SOOOOO much easier! You can see more about the Thinlets on my SU Promotions page.  For this fall card I went with Chocolate Chip for my card base.  The DSP is a retired set called Autumn Vine.  The circle under the leaf is retired Creamy Caramel and the leaf itself is retired Dusty Durango.

The inside of the circle has the greeting which is retired from not loo long ago. I am sorry I forgot to look at the name of the set.  If you'd like to know it, I can get it to you.  I stamped the greeting with Dusty Durango on Whisper White and die cut it with the scallop circle that comes with the Thinlet set.  The scallop circle is matted with Dusty Durango card stock for a pop of color.  The last touches were stamping an acorn and embossing cross stick on the left side with the Needlepoint Border EF.  That's it!  A fun card for fall!  Check back tomorrow, I will be posting the other 2 Mini Milk carton sets that I made.  Thanks for stopping by!
