Psychotic Ramblings from a Serial Scrapper AKA Craft Room Therapy with Chris Pozzi

  Greeting crafty friends!  Today I am sharing just a few more possibilities to create with your paper pumpkin kit.   I added the Scenic adventures dies to my first card that uses the vellum die cuts to create my mountains.  For the second card I cut down my card base and added the die cut trees to my card base that was stamped with my flock of birds from the kit's stamp set.  If you don't currently have a demonstrator and would like a catalog; or would like to learn more about Stampin' Up! and our products, please email me at  pozzi.chris@gmail.com   To order any of Stampin' Up's products you can go directly to my online store -  www.christinepozzi.stampinup.net         *Note: Product pricing varies by market.  Check with your local demonstrator if you are not in the U.S. to find out your cost.

Hello my craft friends! Today I want to share another card created with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle. And while I am not 100% sure I am satisfied with my card (I think the boat is too bright) I loved the techniques I used and wanted to share them with you!  Start by Embossing your Designer paper (from the Beautiful Gallery Collection) with the Embossing Folder.    I love how stunning this looks!   Punch a  1 3/4 or 2 INCH circle in a piece of scrap cardstock.  Using a dauber   add Crushed Curry & Peach Pie ink to create your sun.  add rays into the water area.   Stamp you boat.  See the Cloud Cover ink on the boat?  I used my Stampin Write Marker to ink my stamp!  Place stamped image and line up in embossing folder with die and die cut and emboss all in one step!  Add your boat to your card and add a greeting as desired.   I hope you enjoyed this project!

 Hello my crafty friends!  Today I am excited to shared this layers of Beauty card I created.  I chose to use soft Sea Foam and Peach Pie. If the Peach pie looks a little more subdued, it is because I first used Basic Beige and Crumb Cake ink with my masks.  I decided that the brown roses (I was aiming for cream) just looked a little depressing so I added Peach Pie to my masks!   Also used : Painted Stripes Stamp, More Messages Stamp and Dies, Layers of Beauty Stamp, Dies & Masks
