Stampin’ Up! O’ Holy Night

Stampin’ Up! O’ Holy Night

I love O Holy Night Designer Series Paper.  Each sheet in the package is so beautiful and you can let the paper do the work when you use it to create cards.  This is another card I created using a piece of the Designer Series Paper.  It sure make for easy and simple.

The Night of Navy card stock. is used as the card base for this card with a panel of Basic White card stock added and used as the mat for the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper panel.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hope and Peace stamp set is stamped in Versa Mark ink, embossing powder is sprinkled over the ink and heat embossed using a heat tool.

Sheep are die cut from Basic White card stock using the sheep die from Stampin’ Up! Night Divine Dies. The shepherd i, s part of the Holy Family scene, so two are die cut and the shepherds are cut from the scene with paper snips.  The two shepherds and sheep are added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A star is die cut from a piece of Basic White card stock and popped on the card front.  A Adhesive Backed Star Trinket is popped in the middle of this star.  Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins are also popped on the card front.

A sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Night Divine stamp set is stamped in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White panel.  A strip of O Holy Night Designer Series paper is added at the bottom.  The panel is now adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A Basic White envelope gets a piece of O Holy Night Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using  Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew December Blog Hop– “Celebrate”

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew December Blog Hop– “Celebrate”

Happy Tuesday everyone!  How has the weather been where you are?  Here in Georgia we have had rain, rain, rain and more rain.  We have a wedding this week-end and it is outside, so here’s to hoping that the weather is good, at least no rain.  

It’s that time again for our team blog hop.  Be sure to check out all the blogs, this is a talented group and you will find lots of inspiration.  Our theme for the month is “Celebrate”.  We do have lots to celebrate this month–4 family birthdays, a wedding, Christmas, 3 friends birthdays, one being one of our team member Linda Richenberg.  Enough chatter, let’s get on with the hop!

I have been seeing these one sheet wonders that people are making, and of course, I wondered how many cards can I get out of one 12″ x 12″ piece of DSP, so that is what you are seeing today One Sheet Wonders.  I even have a strip that I didn’t get cards made and will do so later, so I can say I used the entire piece of DSP.

You can see the individual cards at the bottom of the post after the listing of the blog participants.  It was fun making these cards.  I have put the measurement of the DSP used for each card with the card.  You can see the piece I had left after making 11 cards.    Now that I have done this, I have to try it again with a different DSP and different designs.  Many of the design layouts are very similar  but it means I used a larger piece of paper for those cards.  

Have fun as you hop on over to visit the rest of the Krew’s blogs and see what a bunch of talented ladies they are. It will be worth your while. Clicking on the  “Next” button will take you to Sue Prather  and the”Previous” button will take you to Karen Ksenzakovic . You can also click on the individual names.

Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods

Stampin’ Up! Winter Woods

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.

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew November Blog Hop – Merry Christmas

Amy’s Inkin’ Krew November Blog Hop – Merry Christmas

Welcome!  Here it is the second Tuesday of October and you know what happens on the second Tuesday of each month.  Our team gets together, and we have a team blog hop.  Enjoy all the beautiful cards these talented ladies on Amy’s Inkin Krew,  of which I am happy to be a member, have created.  You will find much talent and inspiration for your own creations.

The card today is created usingtwo stamp sets, Lovely As A Tree stamp set, Star of Light  and the Subtle Embossing Folder.  

I made two cards.  They are one layer.  I tied making as simple as possible, because of  difficulty of having one hand to work with.  It has been a challenge but I got it accomplished.

Merry Merlot and Night of Navy card stock was used. They were embossed with Versa Mark and then heat embossed with silver and gold embossing powder.

The inside sentiments are stamped on a panel of Whisper White with either Night of Navy Ink or Merry Merlot.  The swirling cloud and stars was stamped off once using again either Merry Merlot or Night of Navy Ink.

OK it is on with the hop!  Click the button below to hop over to see what Karen Finkle has created today.
