Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods

December 8, 2018 admin

Happy Saturday! Do you have fun Christmas shopping planned or just a relaxing week-end? Whatever you have planned, stay dry. The weather outside is terrible. Almost to bad to venture out in it.

I am using the Winter Woods stamp bundle and the Nature Sings stamp set for my card today.

The theme for my card is from Global Design Projec #GDp167 ‘Tis The Season. It is truly the best time of the year for me anyway, I love celebrating Christmas.

There is very little instructions for this card as it is so easy. The base is Shaded Spruce cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. The next layer is Whisper White card stock that has been cut 4″ x 5-1/4″. This panel first has a tree cut from it using the Winter Woods bundle. It is then embossed using the Softly Falling TIEF. The negative space from the cut has a green panel of All is Bright glued behind it to make the green tree. The Whisper White tree is popped on the Whisper White panel with Stampin Dimensionals.

The greeting from the Nature Sings stamp set is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a scrap of Whisper White and cut out with Paper Snips, highlighted with Shaded Spruce ink and popped on the Whisper White panel using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White using Shaded Spruce ink. It, also, is from the Nature Sings stamp set. A tree has been cut from the Whisper White panel to reveal the green to give the appearance of a tree.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my simple easy card and will give it a try. Any questions, give me an email. As always my wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Stampin’ Up! Nature Sings

December 6, 2018 admin

Are you all tired out from Christmas shopping, Christmas is fast approaching. There is always lots and lots of hurrying about and preparing and it is over much too soon. I love Christmas time, not for the getting of presents but for the giving. I listen to conversations all year and tuck away, as I am sure many of you do, bits of information on what people say they would just love to have that.

Today’s card is from the Nature Sings stamp set and the All is Bright DSP. It was a very easy card to make but it shows the celebration great of all the decorations.My inspiration comes The Paper Players Challenge for this week.

The card starts with a base by using a card base from the Foiled Edge Cards and Envelopes from the Holiday Catalog. Using these as card bases saves a lot of time, plus you get the added benefit of having a gold border that gives the appearance of a mat.

The Christmas ornament panel from the All is Bright DSP is cut 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ and then cut on the diagnoal to leave a space for your greeting.

The celebrate is cut from the Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper. Three extra celebrates were cut from Real Red card stock to give some dimension to the word. Each one is adhered to the other using a Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Sheet (page 213 in the Annual Catalog). A piece was cut and adhered to the Real Red card stock each time the word was cut. This make it so much easier to adhere the layers together. The final cut is adhered to the center of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Celebrate doesn’t look too red in the pictures, but it is red.

The inside sentiment is from the Nature Sings stamp set and is stamped in Memento Black In on a panel of Whisper White that has been edged with Real Red ink using a Sponge Dauber.

Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog. My hope is that you liked my card and found encouragement or inspiration and will visit again soon.

Welcome to my blog post for today. The stamp set is Snow is Glistening. This was an easy card to make.

The design for today’s card comes from FabFri 151 Challenge. Cute

The card base is Smokey Slate, the mats are Blackberry Bliss, the Designer Specialty Paper is Joyous Noel and the snowflake is cut from a panel of one of the sheets of Joyous Noel. It is adhered to the mat using Liquid Glue. Rhinestone Basic Jewels are adhered to the center of several of the snowflakes. A length of Silver Thread is wrapped around the Blackberry Bliss panel three times and tied in a bow.

The greeting on the front and the inside sentiment are stamped in Versa Mark on a panel of Blackberry Bliss and heat embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

Petal Promenade DSP and Vertical Greetings

December 2, 2018 admin

This is an easy card, great for a beginner or anyone that wants a fast and easy card. The card is created using the Petal Promenade DSP and the Vertical Greeting stamp set.My sketch inspiration comes from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge for this week

The card base is Mossy Meadow and the mat is Blushing Bride embossed with the Subtle TIEF. The Mossy Meadow mats for the Petal Promenade DSP art panels are cut 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ The DSP is cut 2-1/8″ 4-1/8″. These are adhered to the Mossy Meadow panel using Multipurpose Glue.

The DSP for the “Thank You” greeting was fussy cut from a panel of the Petal Promenade DSP. The panel had to be cut into two pieces to get it to fit he 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ Mossy Meadow panel. The Vertical Greeting “Thank You” was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. Several sequins from the Sequin Assortment has been scattered around the panel

Since this is a thank you card there is no inside sentiment, only a blank panel of Whisper White to write your thank you note on. A panel of Blushing Bride has been used to mat the Whisper White note,

Thank you for stopping by today, my wish as always is that you find encouragement and inspiration.

23 days until Christmas!

Graceful Garden

December 2, 2018 admin

I love black and white cards. They always look so clean and neat. The stamp set for this card is Graceful Garden.

The design for this card is from Global Design Project. I like this design.

The card base is from the Lots of Happy Card Kit. The Whisper White mat is 4″ x 2-1/2″. It is trimmed with the lacy looking piece from the Delicate Lace Edgelits. The focal piece is cut from Basic Black card stock and run through the Big Shot in the Sublte TIEF.

A one- fourth circle is cut using the Layering Circle Framelits. A flower has been stamped using the Graceful Garden stamp set and Real Red and Old Olive Stampin Write Markers and then Versa Mark and heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. The flower was then fussy cut and popped into the circle that has been cut on the Basic Black focal piece. A length of skinny Real Red ribbon was wrapped around the Basic Black panel and tied in a bow. The greeting was stamped in Real Red on a scrap of Whisper White and then cut 1/2″ x 2-1/2″ using the Stampin’ Trimmer.

The inside Whisper White panel for the sentiment is matted using the inside of an envelope from the Lots of Happy card kit. A sentiment from the Postcard Pals stamp set is stamped in Real Red on the Whisper White panel. Real Red and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers are used to color the stamp to stamp the rose on the sentiment panel.

Thank you for stopping by today. Visit again soon, is my desire.
