Rubber Stamping Questions: Using SNAIL with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch

 

Rubber Stamping Questions:  I love using the Lace Ribbon Border Punch in my cardmaking but the only way I found to attach it to my project is with SNAIL Adhesive, but everytime I do I get SNAIL through the punch outs and then it sticks to things I don't want it to stick too.  Is there any way to stop this?

Rubber Stamping Answers: YES!  I too use SNAIL Adhesive with my Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  What I also use is the Adhesive Remover (Item #103684).  It's really easy to use, all you need to do is just gently rub it over the extra adhesive that you want to remove. It completely removes the extra adhesive and you won't ruin your project.  If your Adhesive Remove gets gummy simply cut off a portion with your scissors.  The Adhesive Remover is a perfect addition to your Stamping Tool Kit and it's only $3.50!

Happy Birthday Fish Card

 

This Happy Birthday Fish Card was made for my youngest son Danny who turned two today.  He loves the tv show Bubble Guppies and that was what type of cake he wanted.  Unfortunately no one has Bubble Guppies for their cakes yet. So his backup choice was Sponge Bob Square Pants.  I decided to make him a Fish Punch Art Card since it was fitting for both Bubble Guppies and Sponge Bob.

Fish Punch Art Card Tutorial

1. Cut 8-1/2" X 11" Pacific Point Card Stock to 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" then fold in half to form the card base.
2. Cut 8-1/2" X 11" Bashful Blue Card Stock to 4" X 5-1/4" then attach to Pacific Point Card Stock base using SNAIL Adhesive.
3. Run 3" X 3" piece of Old Olive Card Stock through the Big Shot with the Little Leaves Stampin' Up Sizzlits Die.  Repeat.
4. Attach the 2 Old Olive leaves to the bottom of the Bashful Blue Card Stock with SNAIL Adhesive. 
5. Take two pieces of 3" X 4" Daffodil Delight Card Stock and tear them to form the sea bottom attach them to the Bashful Blue Card Stock with SNAIL Adhesive.
6. Stamp Happy Birthday from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set using Pacific Point Classic Stampin' Pad onto on Daffodil Delight sea bottom.
7. Punch out the Fish Body using the Ornament Punch out of Pacific Point Card Stock.
8. Punch out a 5 Petal Flower Punch using the Pumpkin Pie Card Stock. Cut off two of the petals for the tail of the fish.  Cut of the other three petals to form the fins of the fish attach all with SNAIL Adhesive.
9. Using the Punch Pack punch out the fishes eye with Whisper White Card Stock.  Add a small dot using the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker for the eye then attach to the Fish.  
10. Add a smile on the fish using the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.
11. Attach the fish to the Bashful Blue Card Stock using Stampin' Dimensionals.
12. Punch out two circles with the Punch Pack out of Pacific Point Card Stock attach with SNAIL Adhesive coming from the fishes month.
13. Punch out two 1/2" Circle Punches out of Pacific Point Card Stock then attach with SNAIL Adhesive

Princess Belle Birthday Card

I made this Princess Belle Birthday Card for my beautiful niece Ophelia's second birthday.  Beauty & The Beast is my favorite Disney movie so I bought it for her birthday and I had to create a Princess Belle Punch Art Card to match her gift.

Here is Princess Ophelia during her party wearing her tutu and tiera.   I hope O enjoys her Beauty & The Beast movie as much as I do.  Since I have 4 boys I only have her to share my girlie movies with.

Stitched Stocking Handmade Christmas Tags

These Stitched Stocking Handmade Christmas Tags were made for my adopted uplines Stampin' Up team meeting tonight.  This month's swap theme was Tags, so immediately I knew exactly what I wanted to make for this swap. Participating in swaps are just one of the fun many fun things we do at our team meetings.

I started out with Always Artichoke Card Stock then ran it through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the Scallop Circle Bigz Die.  Next I took some Whisper White Card Stock then ran it thorugh the Big SHot Die Cutting Machine with the Clear Circle Bigz Die then ran it through once more with the Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I attached the Whisper White Circle to the Always Artichoke Card Stock with SNAIL Adhesive then used the Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole in the top of the circle for my Cherry Cobbler/White Baker's Twine.

Next I stamped the snowflake stocking from the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White Card Stock then I punched it out using the Stocking Builder Punch then layered it onto the Whisper White Circle using SNAIL Adhesive.

Next I stamped the to/from stocking from the Stitched Stockings Stamp Set in Always Artichoke Classic Stampin' Pad on Whisper White Card Stock then I punched it out using the Stocking Builder Punch.  Next I punched the parts of the Stocking Builder Punch out of Red Glimmer Paper then attached them to the stocking with SNAIL Adhesive.  I finished off my tag by attaching the to/from stocking slightly over the snowflake stocking.

Stampin' Up Pretty Postage

Stampin' Up Pretty Postage Stamp Set is great for quick and simple birthday card ideas.  For this birthday card all we did was stamp the Happy Birthday image from the Pretty Postage Stamp set in each of the three colors, Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, and Pumpkin Pie then we punched them out using the Postage Stamp Punch, then layered each onto Tempting Turquoise 1-3/8" Squares. Set them aside 

Start out by folding a piece of 5-1/2" X 8-1/2" Pumpkin Pie Card Stock in half this will form your card base.  Next take a piece of Temping Turqouise Card Stock and use the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the button then stamp Happy Birthday from the Create A Cupcake Stamp Set using Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin' Pad.  Next using the Paper-Piercing Tool and the Mat Pack create a small hole for the Silver Brad.

We used the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on Rich Razzleberry Card Stock to create a background that we can add our Happy Birthday images on top of.  Finish the card by attaching it all together with Snail Adhesive with the exception of the final Rich Razzleberry Happy Birthday Image it is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.
