Joyful Christmas in Silver & Blue

 

I stamped the poinsettia image from Joyful Christmas on Vellum card stock with the Silver Metallic Encore Pad and heat set with clear embossing powder.

I then colored on the back of the image with Marina Mist, first with a sponge dauber and the ink pad for all over color, then with the Marina Mist Stampin' Write Marker.

The center of the flower is colored with the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Marker.

Keep adding layers of color until you get the look you want.

 

"Merry" is made using the Expressions Thinlits Dies and the Silver Foil Sheets.

 

 

For the inside I also stamped the poinsettia with the Silver Metallic Encore Pad and hear set with Clear embossing powder. 

The greeting is from the stamp set More Merry Messages.

Endless Wishes and a Snowman Quilt

 

Just got the Endless Wishes Photopolymer stamp set and I really love it!

This simple card was made using Whisper White, Soft Sky, and Cherry Cobbler card stock along with Soft Sky and Cherry Cobbler classic ink.

Added some sparkle with Dazzling Details on the snowflakes.

 

The colors of the card were inspired by a quilt that I made recently.

 

What the photo doesn't show is that the blue fabric has a shimmer to it that is so pretty.

Looking forward to snuggling up in this quilt when it's snowing outside!

 

The quilt is called Snowy Day Quilt from the Art to Heart book "Ho Ho Ho Let it Snow".

I changed it up a bit to make it larger than a wall hanging size.

Christmas Gift Tag

 

Using the Best of Christmas and Christmas Messages stamp sets I stamped with Black StazOn ink on Baked Brown Sugar card stock, then cut out with a Deco Labels framelit die.

Using Baked Brown Sugar, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers I colored in portions of the manger scene.  Added some sparkle with Dazzling Details on the start and the little heart above baby Jesus.

 

Sweet and simple.

Lovely as a Tree in the Snow

 

To create this card I stamped a tree from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set with Black StazOn ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Then stamped the "snow" from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set with VersaMark ink and heat set with the Iridescent Ice Stampin' Emboss Powder.

Sponged on Midnight Muse ink over the snowflakes then rubbed off with a paper towel to really make them pop.

Unfortunately this photo doesn't show the sparkle in the snowflakes from the Iridescent Ice embossing powder but it's there.

 



On a smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the greeting and then ripped the top edge of the paper, rubbed the VersaMark pad on the edge and applied Iridescent Ice embossing powder and heat set.

New Christmas Photopolymer Stamps

 

Stampin' Up! has done it again - another great stamp set that I just have to have.

This set is called Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set.

See the flyer HERE.

Bermuda Bay Joyful Christmas

 

If you want a non-traditional color for a Christmas card try Bermuda Bay, Whisper White and Basic Black.

 

I stamped the flower image from Joyful Christmas on Vellum card stock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.  Turned the image over and colored with Stampin' Write Markers.  The center is Daffodil Delight and the flower petals are Bermuda Bay.  I colored all the petals and then went back over just sections to create a two-toned look.

Birthday Flip Card

 

I made this card using a piece of Brown Sugar cardstock measuring 4-1/4" x 7" and ran it through the Big Shot with the Label Card Thinlits Die without cutting off the length - you can either just roll it through half way making sure to cut the label part and then roll it back or you can position the top cutting plate so it doesn't cover the end portion that would cut the cardstock shorter.

Here is the view of the card opened up with a spot to write on.  I used the stamp set Apothecary Art for the stamped images. 

The designer series paper used on this card is Etcetera.  I colored the roses with a sponge dauber and Calypso Coral ink.  It looks softer in person than the photo shows.

Tea Party Get Well Card

 

This card features the Tea Party stamp set and the Afternoon Picnic designer series paper.

 

For this image I used Crushed Curry, Basic Gray, and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers to only color the image and not the words on the stamp.

I then used the "thinking of you..." from the stamp set Thoughts & Prayers.

 

 

I used the smallest die from the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies to create a pocket for the tea and then sewed it on a piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock before attaching to the inside of the card.

The "get well soon" is also from Thoughts & Prayers.

Walk in the Wild

 

I finally pulled out the Walk in the Wild stamp set and inked it up to create this quick and easy masculine card.

 

 

I stamped the back ground of the Ivory Naturals card stock base with the World Map stamp with Early Espresso ink.  Also stamped the moose from Walk in the Wild with Early Espresso on the Ivory Naturals card stock then cut out with a Labels Collection framelit.  Cut a piece of Early Espresso with the next size larger framelit and ran it through the Square Lattice embossing folder.

Sponged all the edges with Crumb Cake ink.

Thankful for...You!

My poor little blog has sat unchanged for a couple of weeks while we were gone on vacation.

 

Had a wonderful trip and spent some of it on the Oregon coast in Newport.

Had beautiful weather while we were there.

Below is the view from our hotel room.

Yaquina Head light house in the distance.

 

Okay, back to stampin'!

 

Before leaving I had made some little treat bags for my ladies in my last stamp class that I tucked in the bag with their order.

 

For the tag I cut out Crumb Cake cardstock with a die from the Chalk Talk framelits set.

Stamped on the background with Crumb Cake ink the "lines" from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

 

The words "Thankful for..." (Truly Grateful stamp set) and "You" (Four You stamp set) are stamped in Early Espresso ink.  I only inked up the "you" of the thank you stamp and it works perfect as it even matches the font of the "thankful for...".

 

 

To make the pumpkin I stamped the chevron design from Oh, Hello stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and punched out 3 pieces with the Small Oval punch.  Sponged the edges lightly with Early Espresso ink and attached together.  Add a little Always Artichoke cardstock for a leaf and a small piece of Crumb Cake cardstock for the stem.  Then tie a little bow of Linen Thread on the stem and add some curly q's with the Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Marker.

 

Put some candy corn in a 4x6 Cellophane Bag and tied with a piece of 7/8" Cotton Ribbon that I stamped with the diagonal stamp from Gorgeous Grunge in Pumpkin Pie ink.
