RemARKables BLOG TOUR DAY #4

11/22/2009 08:33:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (0)

Today's project was inspired by a lantern done by Heather, an amazing member of my Gotham City Stamper Downline. She did a fun lantern for Halloween and I was excited to recreate it for the holidays.



It is simply (3) 6X8 sheets of Designer Series Paper run through the BIG SHOT using the TOP NOTE DIE. The middle of each side if vellum stamped with SERENE SNOWFLAKES and embossed.



I picked up a small battery operated votive candle and put that inside the lantern. This picture is a little odd but I wanted you to see it all lit up!



Here is a close up of the snowflakes!




When I took the picture of the lantern, I put it on this table and put down a beautiful piece of paper. After I took the lantern off, I thought it would look pretty to keep the paper on the table under the candle that was originally there.



Our paper is a beautiful and simple way to add some color and holiday cheer to a table. It looks like a really elegant placemat! NICE!

CHARMING STAMP SET Picture Frame

9/13/2009 06:55:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (1)

This is the final post for the RemARKables Holiday Blog Tour! It was so much fun. This is my favorite project so far--yes, I love the project itself but more importantly the pictures of many of the amazing GOTHAM CITY STAMPERS from the Stampin' Up! Convention 2009.

For this frame, I used a paper mache frame and painted it brown. Once the paint dried, it was so much fun to paint it all over with CHAMPAGNE MIST SHIMMER PAINT. My friend, Eileen, said it looked like fabric once that dried. I then used VERY VANILLA CRAFT INK to stamp the flowers from the CHARMING STAMP SET. The butterfly as well the "CRAFT" piece of the art are also stamped using stamps from that set. I can't wait for the SIMPLY ADORNED JEWELRY to go on sale so I can use that elegant set for that!

Major shout out to my amazing team members that are featured in these pictures:
Melissa, Eileen, Pat, JennyB, Laurel, Corris, Gayle, Yvonne and Jen. You gals are amazing and have truly touched my life! HUGS!

Yummy Sweet Centers SKITTLES Card

9/12/2009 10:23:00 AM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (7)

TOO CUTE for words! I am loving this brand new stamp set SWEET CENTERS from Stampin' Up! Here, I used the hot air balloon images and filled the plastic sweet treat cup with SKITTLES! I have two young nieces and I am sure they would love a card that is full of candy treats. Imagine the possibilities of what you can do with this! I teach second grade at a school which promotes very healthy eating--trying to think of what I could put in here that is yummy and healthy. Or some sort of school supplies...any ideas? Post them in the comments section of this blog. I would love to hear them!
Stay tuned for another card using this set--so cute! And check out the blog of the amazing,Carolyn Serviss and remember to leave tons of comments. We LOVE hearing them!

Delightful Decorations Christmas Card

9/10/2009 08:07:00 PM / Posted by Heidi Bound / comments (7)

Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
Here is another Christmas card using amazing products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini. I was inspired by a card that I saw online and decided to embrace the design.
I LOVE the new Delightful Decorations Stamp Set and the Ornament Punch! I was able to stamp the ornaments and use the punch to quickly punch them out. The picture looks like I may have done a masking technique to get the ornaments to look like one is on top of the other. BUT, I punched them out and used dimensionals to layer the top ornament on top of the other two ornaments.
My friend and downline, Pat, told me that she saw how someone used the punch online to make a flower. They cut out five ornaments and glued them together like flower petals. How cool and very versatile!
