Stray Ducklings Calendar of Cards August, Sept & October

This is the August Card made by ME :) I used the Nailed It bundle and the Hexagon embossing folder with Silver Foil Sheets, Delightful Dijon, Early Espresso and Whisper White cardstocks. 

September's card was designed by Greta Whittmore at http://getcreativewithgreta.blogspot.com. Greta used the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, Floral Boutique DSP, Irresistibly Floral DSP, Dapper Denim ribbon, Marina Mist ink.

October's card was made by Linda Pohl. Linda used the Yummy in my Tummy stamp set, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, &  Tangerine Tango cardstock

Come back tomorrow to see the last two cards from our event. :)

Tools, tools & more tools!

I'm still diggin' the Nailed It bundle. Pair it with the Foil Sheets and you've got quite a masterpiece going on- especially for that special guy in your life. 

I love how the foil makes these tools really stand out! 

I added a strip of foil that I embossed with the Hexagon Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) to add even more dimension to the card. The base is Delightful Dijon. The nails & screws are stamped in Basic Gray and Delightful Dijon. The screw driver head is Early Espresso. All the tools/nuts/bolts were die cut using the matching framelits. 

I love this bundle and I would love to be your demonstrator. Please contact me at Paintfancy@yahoo.com if I can be of any assistance to you. :)

Watercolored Nailed It

 Good morning crafters!

When I first saw the Nailed It set in the Occasions Catalog, I just knew it was going to be a big hit. We always need masculine cards and let's face it, guys are hard to make or buy cards for! This set solves that problem and is so fun to play with!

I used Delightful Dijon as the base. I stamped the hammer and saw in black archival ink and watercolored them with our new Watercolor Pencils. I can't get enough of those! They're so easy to use! After they dried, I masked them with a post-it note and stamped the nails & screws in Smoky Slate. 

I embellished a Foil Sheet with our new Hexagon Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add some depth to my card. That folder sure makes and impression! (Pun intended).

I added the sentiment from the stamp set and cut it out using the matching framelits. 

Et Voila! All done!

Nailed It Toolbox

Nailed It Toolbox

Stampin' Up! really Nailed It (yes, pun intended!) with this set. Pairing it with our Foil sheets just makes it all unstoppable. It's so much fun and what a cool card to give that special guy in your life! I saw an idea for a tool box on Pinterest and embellished from there. I love the way this card turned out!

You can make one too! All you need is the Nailed It bundle, Foil Sheets, Real Red Cardstock and Early Espresso Cardstock.

Just look at all that shiny foil. Doesn't it make you want to run right to your craft space and start playing? If you need supplies and don't already have a demo, I'd love to help you out. Please contact me today :)
