From the Herd for The Paper Players

From the HerdIt’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! The talented Sandy is hosting a sketch challenge this week.  The moment I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of the From the Herd stamp set.  So I pulled out my Blendabilities and went to town coloring this adorable image. I hope you enjoy today’s card.pp233

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.

  • Peek-a-boo! This cutie-patootie herd of big-eyed animals resides behind the card front. The Soft Sky panel was punched using the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch, while I used a Circles Collection Framelit for the Whisper White card base.  I used Blendabilities to color the critters.From the Herd-001
  • What’s a party without balloons and hats?  The body of the goat and the head of the llama were stamped and colored a second time, snipped out, and adhered to the outside of the circle. For a touch of whimsy, the goat sports a trio of balloons tied to his tail, while the llama has donned a party hat.

  • Add a birthday banner!  A “Happy Birthday” banner was created, and tucked behind the goat.  I used the Hexagon Punch to “V” the end.  It’s a perfect “V” every time!

IMG_1565“Cute” cards are tough ones for me to design, so I really appreciate those who do a fabulous job with them.  What about you? Is there a specific type of card that is a bugaboo for you? Won’t you let me know in your comment today?  Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them.  Of course, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away.  Until next time…

,
Comments: 3

PicMonkey Collage

This month’s lesson takes a masculine twist with the vintage-style set, Guy Greetings.   You will receive one completed sample…and the “makings” to make all three cards.  You will need to use your new stamps, inks, and adhesives,  but I will supply you with pre-cut cardstock and designer paper, as well as punched items, buttons and ribbon.  How fun will it be to stamp and assemble while reading your tutorial and watching the video!  The Lesson of the Month is like stampin’ with me in my kitchen!

Let’s take a look at this month’s cards:

Card #1:  Anchors Away! (This is the completed card you will receive.)

IMG_1554-001What this month’s lesson includes….

  • Guy Greetings Stamp Set in photopolymer  (137178, $25.95).  If you already have this set, I will gladly substitute another stamp set at the same value, $25.95 or less.  IF you prefer wood or clear, I can adjust the price of the class accordingly (Wood – $60.95 + extra shipping; Clear – $47.95).
  • 1 Completed Sample Card.  The sample card this month is Card #1: Anchors Away.
  • Pre-cut cardstock, pre-cut designer series paper, ribbon, button and linen thread for you to make one of each design.  You will need to use your own new stamps, inks, and adhesives.
  • A step-by-step PDF tutorial for all three cards, which contains a product list with item numbers, cutting dimensions, helpful hints and plenty of pictures to guide you along the way.
  • A private video for each card, for a total of three videos.  On lucky days, you may hear a Boxer or two!
  • And don’t forget, for every third lesson in which you participate, you receive a bonus gift from me valued between $3.95 and $6.95.

The cost for all of this is $34.95.  Are you ready to enroll this month? Just send an email to ann@thestampinschach.com or kimschach@msn.com. I will send you a PayPal invoice within 24 hours.  This month’s deadlines are:
