Stamp Tv Kit Addicts Group - Friday Funday!!!!! 12/4/15

Good-morning everyone!
   This is my First week in the Stamp Tv Addicts Group over at Stamp Tv!  I am really looking forward to this fun group and sharing fun stuff!  :)  If you are a member then you know our Tricia has decided to step down for the good of her family. She is such a awesome Lady & crafter and I know she will truly be missed, but she promises to come visit….  :)
   So this week I couldn't decide what I wanted to do first!  LOL   so many things in my head!  LOL
Melanie Muenchinger posted a video on inside out Cutaway Technique! So that inspired me, but I Wanted it a little different!  :)  I can't wait to try it like she did it, but I wanted to use some awesome Patterned Papers too!  I used the Sparkling Christmas stamp set that is in the "Sparkling Christmas" Stamp Tv Kit for the first two.

This is how I ended up doing the two cards:

I started with the stamp set Sparkling Christmas that is in the new Sparkling Christmas Stamp Tv Kit. Then a piece of White Heavy Base Pure Luxury Card Stock
Cut in half at 5 1/2". So I have a piece that is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"  scored & folded at  4 1/4" (A2) size
Stamped the Snow Flakes & Greeting in Turquoise Sea & Ocean Mist
Then used my ruler to mark off the area I wanted to cut off! I really didn't measure that part, because  to me it is just where you want the snow flake to stand away from the card front!

**********

After cutting away the part marked and around my image 

I added the PP to the back side of the front of the card

*********

Also It is nice to finish the back side of your cards!

Well, I just couldn't stop there!  LOL!

I really enjoyed this technique, so I pulled out a older 

StampTv Kit Stamp Set "Merry Little Christmas" and used it for the next two!  :) 

But I had to use some of the new Patterned Paper "Sparkling Christmas"and a piece from the incentives paper pack!    I Love both those packs.

On this one the 1 3/4" piece of PP is attached to the inside, 

leaving enough room for the sentiment.

I decided to use the Holly Leaves!

I started with the same Heavy Base white card stock that measures 

5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score at 4 1/4 then fold.

I found these post it notes that are sticky on almost all of the back side!

made a mask, Didn't really need it on this one, but the second one, 

 I stamped 5 of the images in Fresh Asparagus Ink and I did use 2 masks. 

   

Drew the cut lines.

Cut it out, then decided I wanted to cut the centers of the leaves.

 So I marked those and cut them out!

Used these 3 Spectrum Noir Markers!

 Stamp set I used to create the last two cards!
" Merry Little Christmas "


Both of these sets are available at Gina K. Designs
Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial!
