Each attendee made a set of 5 Christmas tags, Fall Wine Bottle Tag (great for a hostess gift), Christmas Card & Candy Wrapper box, Fall Sour Cream Treat Holder, Halloween Treat Sticks, Witches Treat Hat, Halloween Easel Card, Turkey Poop Treat, Turkey Chocolate Treat Gift. You still have a chance to make these for yourself… details below.

Holiday Stamp Camp 2011

Here are closer pics of the projects courtesy of my fellow demo friend Erica Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Design.

This tag slips over a bottle of wine. Perfect for a hostess gift.

: Super cute as a place card for Thanksgiving.

Another cute treat for Thanksgiving.

Gorgeous embossed card and candy wrapper.

I contributed these projects to the stamp camp therefore the more detailed pics. The witch hat treat box would be great for a dinner party place card. The easel card is perfect for a Halloween invitation or greeting.

If the Shoe Fits…Wear it for Halloween

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is Halloween! I love this holiday and this year Stampin’ Up! has some very fun and spooky stamp sets. Check them out in the holiday mini.

Since I love shaped cards I made a template of a witch’s boot. I based it on the boot in the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set. See card recipe below for template. I cut the boot out then embossed it with the Spider Web Embossing Folder then Smooched it. I laced it up with Lucky Limeade ribbon and embellished with a fan fold. I then stamped the head of the witch in the Howl-O-Ween Creeps set on watercolor paper, with a blender pen I colored it with Pumpkin Pie and Lucky Limeade classic ink then used the Dazzling Details to add some sparkle. Finished off the boot with Black Satin ribbon, taffeta orange ribbon and Rich Razzleberry button.

A Charming Thank You

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we want to be impressed. Create any project with dry or heat embossing. For my project I was inspired by a gift from a dear friend. She brought it over this evening and I am so fortunate to have such a wonderful friend. I had a different card planned for this week’s challenge but I’ll show you that card for next week’s challenge.

This card I CASED from my upline Tara Bazata. I basically used the same layout but changed up a few detail. I used the Charming stamp set which hasn’t seen ink for a few months. I stamped the medallion and embossed the background and used torn edges and sponging to the layers to add more texture.

A Golden Fall

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a fall challenge. The weather here in San Antonio,Texas is still hot but the mornings are cooler and it’s starting to feel like fall weather is getting closer. I have another fall inspired project created with the Days of Gratitude stamp set. I wanted to use it in different way so I decided to heat emboss all the images in gold embossing powder. Here’s my project.

Elegant Wedding Card

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Genevieve Valdes

This week I was inspired to use a stamp set that I purchased but haven’t used. It’s the new Delicate Doilies stamp set featured in the Idea Book and Catalog. I love the versatility of this stamp set. You can use this stamp set for almost any occasion. This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a Clean and Simple Challenge. I created a card for a wedding. I inked my doily stamp with Versamark and Basic Black ink then embossed it with Iridescent Embossing Powder then added Basic Rhinestones. I also embossed the sentiment with Iridescent Embossing powder and added a small rhinestone to the ring. So easy! Click on the card image to see more details.
