Generational Stamping - by Jenny Wren









Lovely as a Tree is the oldest stamp set that carries over every year.



 I inked it up once and then stamped it three times, called generational stamping. It gives the look of depth by the trees looking like they are behind the front one.



Some glitter in the upper left hand corner and some ribbon at the bottom completes my card.  Once I figure out how to make the link tool work, I will supply a hot link in my blog entries.  in the meantime, go to sketchfrenzyfriday.blogspot.com to see what the other team members have created for you.





Triple Stamp Card - by Jenny Wren


Here is my Triple Layer Card for Sketch Frenzy Friday.  it was my turn for a sketch and I choose the triple layer technique.


 Love this stamp set and haven't used it nearly enough. #126377 clear or #128442 wood Mixed Bunch stamp set (page 151 in our large catalog.)


You can make a card like this in any size, but I thought I would share the sizes I used in my card to help you get started.

Base layers you stamp on are 2 x 3 1/4; 3 x 4 1/4; 4 x 5 1/4
Color layer behind your stamping after stamped are 2 1/4 x3 1/2; 3 1/4 x 4 1/2; (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 the card base)

Don't you love a mixed bouquet when you pick up some fresh flowers from the market? There's something so cheerful about the variety. You'll feel the same way about this clear mount set and the variety of blooms--all of which can be punched using the 3/4" Circle, 1" Circle, and Blossom punches. Set Quantity: 6. First appeared in 2014-2015 Annual Catalog.

Create Bows Using the SU Envelope Punch Board


used a video tutorial I found on Pinterest here






I made 3 sizes - small, medium and large.
The flowers were made using the  1 1/4"  scallop circle punch for the medium and large bows, and the  7/8"  scallop circle punch for the small bows.  Each flower sits on an Old Olive scallop circle made using the  1 1/4"  scallop circle punch.

This is the large bow. Start with a piece of designer paper 1 1/2 by 10".
For each flower I punched 4 scallop circles in Cherry Cobbler card stock, and 1 Scallop circle for the base of the flower.  All four flower scallops are placed on a paper towel and lightly spritzed with water.  Then each scallop was scrunched up and left to sit for a minute or so.  Then, very carefully each scallop was unfurled, stacked,  a hole poked in the middle and a small brad inserted in the hole.  Each layer was then scrunched up one by one and then unfurled  one by one until  I had the size and shape I wanted.  I spritzed each flower with Vanilla spritz and set them aside to dry before placing them on the bow.
Using paper snips, I made small slits between every second scallop of the Old Olive scallop punchie. Then using the end of a paint brush the 2 scallops were curled and shaped.
The flower was attached to the base and then to the bow using a hot glue gun.
This is the medium bow. Start with a piece of designer paper 1 by 10",

This is the small bow.  Start with a piece of designer paper 1 by 7 1/8".

I placed a dimensional on the back of each bow.

Another great use of the envelope punch board.  My packages will be well decorated this Christmas.
