{ Exclusive November kit from Elle’s Studio }

Exclusive November is ready for purchase now.

Design team gallery is FULL of brand new inspiration just for you. You can bookmark your favorites, leave comments and see close ups of our design team’s projects in our gallery. Visit Elle’s Studio Blog for links to other Contributing DT members.

Here is what I created with the November kit.

Everything on here is from the kit. I added patterned paper from Good Cheer collection. The silhouette cuts are some of my own pieces I had laying around. I added washi tape, some enamel dots and sequins. For the color shine I used a polar grid template I made years ago. Heidi Swapp Mint Green color shine matches this collection perfectly. I trimmed my white cardstock about half an inch so that the patterned paper shows on the sides.

 

*It is available today, on the 10th, for $9.99 and then the price goes to $11.99 at midnight PST.*
*The kit is exclusive to Elle’s Studio and a limited edition – once the kit is sold out it is gone for ever!*

{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It is my turn today to share a project I made using Impression Obsession dies.  Here is what I created. My inspiration came from a printable that Jen has for a download on her blog.  I used my silhouette cameo for the words and IO dies for the rest.

I started with a piece of chalkboard paper. The clipboard I had for ever. Seriously. I was going to alter it at some point, but now I think I will create a peace of art for each season and just change it out.

Like I said, I cut the words using my silhouette cameo. I had some adhesive patterned paper which made the words adhere to the paper easier. There is some texture to the chalkboard paper and the letters weren’t really adhered. Once I had all the die cuts in place I added a coat of Mod Podge. That sealed everything. I used a sponge applicator to add some texture to the background with Mod Podge.

I haven’t found a permanent place for this project, but for now it is on my mantle.

Here are the dies I used.

Halloween Hill Die

Witch Flying

I created another little project two years ago using the same Halloween Hill Die. I display it every year. You can check out the details in my blog post here.

I am linking the clipboard art project to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Have a great Thursday!

{ Christmas Wishes gift ideas }

I wanted to share two holiday gift ideas using our new Technique Tuesday stamps and dies.

The Ghirardelli box is very easy and a perfect little gift for that someone special.

I used Christmas Wishes stamp set, brand new, in the store. I stamped one of the circles and used a scalloped punch to punch it out. I stamped the ornament on a one inch circle that I cut with Circles - DIY Steel Dies. I colored the ornament with watercolor crayons. It is popped up with 3D foam adhesive from Therm O Web.

This adorable paper is from Elle’s Studio Good Cheer collection. I was able to fit 3 Ghirardelli Dark and Caramel Sea Salt, Chocolate Squares.

I used Christmas Wishes stamp set on this little gift card holder, as well. I stamped it and die cut it with Circles - DIY Steel Dies. The circle is just folded over the top of the Story Card - DIY Steel Die. I cut two story cards. One from white cardstock and one from patterned paper. I am using the new Pull Strip - DIY Steel Die that you can actually pull open to reveal a gift inside (gift card or money).

I stamped the pull strip and the front of the story card with Christmas Borders. To embellish the front I used Torn Spiral Edge - DIY Steel Die

Looking for a fun way to spruce up your holiday packages? Be sure to check out the New for 2014 page on the Technique Tuesday website. We've got a number of holiday stamps that are perfect to use for making accents to decorate holiday packages with.

Have a great Friday!
