Hero Card

I have a quick & simple card for you today. 

I made these for our local law enforcement agencies. Hubby asked what I did that made me have to suck up, LOL! Honestly, it was an idea that one of my fellow Stampin' Up! demos had. I liked it so much that I had to do it too. I think our law enforcement personnel are often under-appreciated and I wanted to share some positive vibes with them. 

I hope it brightened their day a bit :) 

The card base is Night of Navy cardstock. I used the Regals DSP stack, Silver Glimmer Paper and the My Hero & Timeless Textures to complete the card & envelope. The Hero sentiment was punched out using our Best Badge punch. 

And that's it! Easy-Peasy card :) 

I hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday!

Happy Stamping!

Stalled Rudolph

This is a card I designed and made for a challenge last month. Being a horse person, I know a little bit about stalls. It only seemed fitting that I built one for Rudolph ;) I'm just glad I don't have to muck Rudy's stall too! LOL

 I started by using the Hardwood background stamp on Sahara Sand CS. I cut the boards for his stall door, created a box with and x in the center and propped it up on some dimensionals. I stamped Rudy from the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle & heat embossed his nose with our new red glitter embossing powder after punching him out. I punched the sign from the decorative label punch and used the labeler alphabet stamps to spell out his name. I propped my stall front up on the Warmth & Cheer DSP. 

 The ridges on the stall topper were made with the Best Badge Punch. Then the topper was propped up with several dimensionals stacked on top of each other. I intertwined Kraft Rope Trim & Candy Cane Lane twine with a gingerbread Christmas Trinket and glued it to the stall door for a handle.

I am loving this new holiday catalog! If you don't have a demonstrator and need a catalog, please let me know. I'd love to be your demo! :)

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.

Happy Stamping!

The Canopy or Storefront Card.

Today's card share is the second one from our class last week and my personal favorite ;)

 The canopy was made by lining up the bottom of the canopy in the top of the Best Badge Punch and punching it out all the way across. The "wall" on the front of the building was embossed on the Big Shot using the Brick Wall texured impression embossing folder. The wine glasses and sentiment are from the Mixed Drinks stamp set. I used the Layering Squares Framelits Squares to cut the window in the brick wall. 

...and I just had to add some glossy accents for effect ;)

I hope you've enjoyed today's card as much as I enjoyed making it. I just love it! :)
