Delicate Baubles – Dracula

By | 1 Comment

This is my second post today…scroll down to see my other post!

Are you getting tired of seeing these cards done with solid arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies yet?

You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH and MICKEY MOUSE by clicking on those links!  After doing the witch, I was thinking of what else I could make for Halloween…so I came up with Dracula!  He’s a little more scary than I intended…but I think my oldest grandson will love it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Cute Halloween DSP was cut at an angle and then adhered to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White.
  • A 1/4 x 5 strip of Basic Black was adhered across the seam and then trimmed.  The Basic White layer was added on top of the base card..
  • The solid arabesque shape was cut with the Delicate Baubles Die from Fresh Freesia cardstock, Real Red cardstock and Basic Black cardstock.  The top of the Basic Black was cut off to a point for his hair.  The Real Red bauble was trimmed for his cape collar with the black showing at the bottom.
  • The bow was cut with the bow die in the Delicate Baubles set and trimmed, then added to the collar with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • The eyes are 3/4″ circles of Basic White cardstock cut in half,  the irises are 3/8″ circles of Real Red, the pupils are 1/4″ circles of Basic Black.  The nose is 3/8″ circle of Fresh Freesia cardstock, popped up.  The ears are 3/4″ circle cut from Fresh Freesia cardstock and cut in half.  The mouth is 3/4″ circle from Basic Black cardstock cut in half.  The eyebrows were strips cut by hand from Basic Black and the teeth cut by hand from Basic White cardstock.  (The circles in the Gingerbread Dies will work for most of them.)
  • Happy Haunting from Banner Year is stamped with Fresh Freesia Ink in the upper right corner.  The bat from Banner Year is stamped in Memento Black Ink in the upper left.
  • Dracula was assembled and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • White Chalk Pen was used on his eyes and nose.
  • A Red Rhinestone was added to the center of the bow for his cape.

I’m really happy with how he turned out!!!  Stay tuned…yep…I have MORE coming!

Delicate Baubles Dies – Mickey Mouse

By | Leave a Comment

This is my second post today…scroll down to see my other card!

OK…here’s another “ornament” using the Delicate Bauble Dies…in particular, the solid arabesque shape.  Have I sold you on these dies yet?  Did you see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN and WITCH done with the same shape?

For my Disney lovin’ fans, here is MICKEY MOUSE!  And, don’t you LOVE that greeting?  It fits SO perfectly with the Disney theme!  It’s from the Christmas to Remember stamp set!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was added on top.
  • The 2 x 4 piece of red stripe Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper was added to the bottom, then a 3/4 x 4 of green polka dot added over top.
  • The Delicate Bauble arabesque shape was cut with the die from Real Red.  The top portion was cut from Basic Black and the bottom portion cut from Bumblebee cardstock.  A 1/8 strip of Basic Black cardstock was added at the bottom of the bauble.
  • Two 3/4″ circles were cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the middle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The holly from Merriest Moments Stamp Set was stamped with Garden Green Ink and the berries with Real Red Ink.  They were cut with the Merriest Frames Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White c/s.  I used the Frightful Tags Die to cut the label, but any label shape would work.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Four Red Rhinestones were added next to the greeting.

 

I have several friends that are crazy over Disney and Mickey Mouse.  I’m sure they would LOVE to get this card for Christmas!  And, if you are planning a trip to Disney, wouldn’t these be fun bag or luggage tags?

Delicate Baubles Dies – Witch

By | 1 Comment

OK…here’s another “ornament” using the Delicate Bauble Dies…in particular, the sold arabesque shape.  Have I sold you on these dies yet?  Did you see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN and SNOWMAN done with the same shape?

Now I’ve made a WITCH!  So fun!  Can you guess what I used for the nose?  A triangle would have worked, but I had this die set sitting on my desk and thought I’d try it!  The jagged edges and “cuts” worked perfectly.  See what it is below.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock was added on top.
  • The Boo pattern in Cute Halloween DSP was cut to 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 and added towards the left side.  A 3/4 x 4 piece of the polka dot pattern in Cute Halloween DSP was added across the bottom front.
  • The witch face was cut from Granny Apple Green with the arabesque solid shape from the Delicate Baubles Dies.  Another one was cut from Basic Gray cardstock and hand-trimmed to make her hair.  The hat was the top of one cut from Basic Black cardstock.
  • The hat band is a 1/8 strip of Rich Razzeberry.  Rectangles of Daffodil Delight and Basic Black were cut for the buckle.
  • The eyes are 1/4″ circles of Basic Black and the mouth is a 3/8″ circle of Basic Black.  The eyebrows are strips of Basic Black.
  • The nose is the top of the tree cut from the Christmas Tree Die!  I cut off the trunk and it was slightly curled at the end and popped up on the face with Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The greeting from Frightfully Cute was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper right corner.  The witch face was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Genial Gems were added around the greeting AND one added for the wart on her chin!

 

Love it!  I really think the nose just MAKES this face…and the WART, of course!  Yep…I have a couple more ideas floating around in my head…will see how soon I can get them out on paper!

Delicate Baubles – Penguin

By | 4 Comments

Yes!  I’m back with another idea for using the Delicate Baubles arabesque solid die!  This time a PENGUIN!  (Did you miss out seeing my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD and ELF?)

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Real Red cardstock is on top.
  • A 3-1/4 x 4 piece of Basic Black cardstock was centered on the front.
  • The 2-1/2 x 5 piece of black check Pattern Party Host Only Designer Paper was added down the front.
  • The greeting from Penguin Place stamp set was stamped with Real Red Ink on a 1/2 x 4 strip of Basic White cardstock and adhered to the front.
  • The arabesque Delicate Bauble shape was cut from Real Red, Basic Black and Basic White cardstock.  (NOTE:  You can get two penguins from the red and black just by using the opposite side of the bauble).
  • Trim the Basic Black cardstock into a point by hand (make up a template first) for his face (or use the retired large Heart Dies if you have them).
  • Trim the Real Red cardstock across the top.  Adhere the Basic Black to the top of the Basic White, then the Real Red over that.
  • Two Basic Black 1/2 circle eyes and two Blushing Bride 1/2 circle cheeks (I used the Gingerbread Dies or use the retired 1/2 circle punch).  Add to front with Mini Glue Dots.  Add highlights to the eyes with White Chalk Pen.
  • Cut down the nose punched with the Ice Cream Cone Punch from Daffodil Delight cardstock.
  • Adhere the penguin ornament on the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add two Red Rhinestones next to the greeting.

Isn’t he SO cute?  Stay tuned…I have even MORE ideas!

Sonic the Hedgehog

By | 4 Comments

Another grandson’s 5th birthday party was decked out in a Sonic the Hedgehog theme!  These kids are certainly making it challenging to create their cards!  Here’s the Sonic the Hedgehog card I came up with for his party.

Not much stamping on here…but I did use all Stampin’ Up! colors!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Balmy Blue cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Real Red was embossed with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.
  • The head of Sonic was cut from a template I made and layered with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it depth.  The head is cut from Night of Navy, the mouth and ears from So Saffron, the eyes from Granny Apple Green and Basic Black, the mask from Basic White.
  • Some highlights were made with a White Chalk Pen.  The mouth was hand-drawn with a Black Marker.
  • The greeting from A Grand Kid stamp set was stamped with Night of Navy Ink and punched with the smaller oval on the Double Oval Punch.

Isn’t that fun?  He loved it!!  I had fun making it, too!
