TTTC017 The Light The Shepherds Saw

For this challenge, I picked the middle row down

with Open, Circle, Glitter Paper.

I used two shades of blue for a color challenge also.

I place the star set on the Whisper White stitched circle and layered a 

Night of Navy circle behind. 

The bottom star is cut in Pool Party card stock

 and then a silver glitter paper star on top. 

I love the sentiment from Star of Light set that I stamped in Navy.

I started to stamp somethings behind the circles but when I laid

it all together, I liked the clean look. 

I hope you can play along today over at

FMS307 Christmas Blessings

After my Christmas card classes this week, I had some dies cuts

leftover and so I arranged them to make a center piece looking arrangement

 for the sketch challenge.

Most of the pieces are cut with the Pretty Pines thinlits dies and the wreath

looking die is from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits dies.

I used a sweet sentiment  and pine cones from the Christmas Pines set.

Christmas Open Card Holders For Class

I used retired DSP to decorate these cute open ended boxes for guest 

to carry their cards home from my Christmas card classes this week.

Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler were mixed for these.

The deer is from the Santa's Sleigh thinlits dies 

with some silver cording tied in a bow.

I got these boxes from Sam Hammond aka Pootles over at 

pootles.uk.co 

Start with a piece of 8 1/4"x 11" piece of card stock.

Score on the long side at 5 1/4" and 7"

Score on short side at 1 3/4" and 6 1/2"

cut in for the flaps and assemble..so easy.  

You can make larger ones too to hold large dies.

These hold the 10 cards from class and their envelopes

or they can hold regular size emboss folders.

Hope you enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

GDP106 Rejoicing!

Lots of reflection going on with all the silver but that 

is a silver foil star up there.

I started with the Night of Navy circle and Whisper White stitched circle

because they were laying on my desk from another project last week.

When I saw the sketch, I remembered these and stamped the 

sweet couple in Night of Navy and popped them with the 

Silver foil star on the circle.

I added silver behind and the sentiment from the same set on 

Whisper White in Night of Navy ink.  

I finished it off with a few silver sequin pieces.

I like the layout and always love navy and silver together.

PP363 Christmas Cheer

If you have not looked very closely at the 

Christmas Around the World DSP, you are missing out!

It has some great plaid, nutcrackers and then this fun foodie/treats print.

I decided to pair it with the Merry Cafe set hot chocolate cup.

I stamped the cup in Soft Suede on same color card stock.

I stamped the lid on white in Garden Green.  

I cut all with matching dies from Coffee Cups framelits dies.

I also cut the paper sleeve from Garden Green with the dies and 

then stamped in Real Red the two sentiments.

I layered all together on Real Red then Whisper White and a Real Red base.

I finished it up with enamel shapes in Garden Green along 

with some retired Garden Green thread.

Copper Frames For You

Within my stampin' group- The Pretty Pals under 

our fearless leader Mary Fish- we have a

weekly challenge on Facebook.

This week we have a photo for inspiration.

Just look at all the inspiration- I see white, copper 

and even some Wisteria Wonder or Smoky Slate

(however, I see purple in everything!)

I love the shapes and the textures plus the bling in 

this inspirational photo.

I decided to let the white, copper and shapes

inspire me for this card.  I even include some texture with my 

Softly Falling emboss folder. I ran a piece of Whisper White through 

one direction and then turned and ran again.

Yes, you can run it more than once for a full effect.

I then layered two sizes of copper foil frame I cut 

using the Layering Squares framelits dies.

I had two extra copper leaves on my desk from class last week

so they were a perfect addition.

I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment

from Colorful Seasons in copper emboss powder.

I hope your are inspired to create this week and 

thanks for stopping by.

Playing the top row across for Metallic , Glow, Autumn Colors.

The metallic is the copper leaf laid over the rock and roll 

leaf-both cut from the Seasonal Layers thinlits dies.

For the glow, I stamped the leaf on Very Vanilla in Pumpkin

Pie and rocked it in Cajun Craze before laying the copper one on top.

I ran some clear wink of stella over it for some shine, too.

I think it is glowing a bit!

I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Fig on the stitched shapes.

I ran the background Tangerine Tango with the Brick Wall emboss folder then

layered on a piece of Crushed Curry before placing on the Fresh Fig base.

I finished it off with some copper trim and a bow I had already laying on my desk.

FMS306 Life and Leaves

I had some left over pieces from my card classes this week so 

put them to good use for the sketch challenge.

I used a Very Vanilla base and layered a piece of Tangerine Tango

embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D emboss folder. 

The lovely Painted Autumn DSP strips were layered on the background-

don't you love the color mix in that paper?

I stamped on a Very Vanilla stitched square in Cajun Craze.

For the small leaf, I stamped in Pumpkin Pie and then rocked 

the leaf in Cajun Craze.  Love the effect. Quick card but full of colors!

GDP105 Hello Friend

I wanted to go simple for this color challenge.

I cut a piece of Whisper White for my background. and stamped the D size

block inked in Lemon Lime Twist right onto the paper.

I then stamped on white my leaves. The big one was stamped 

in Peekaboo Peach and rocked in Tangerine Tango.

I stamped the next smallest in Peach and the smallest

in Tango. I "tied" them together by placing a piece of copper trim for a bow.

I stamped the sentiment from Wood Words in Tango underneath.

This was layered onto a Tangerine Tango base making for a clean and simple card.

Fall Inspired Boxes for Card Classes

These are sweet boxes for my guest to carry their cards home

from card classes this week. 

I used some retired card stock and designer series paper from last fall.

I also used some retired gold stitched ribbon.

These are from pootles.co.uk 

She designed these boxes to hold emboss folders or some dies.

I used a piece of 8 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock

scored on long side at 5 1/4" and 7"

and score on short side at 1 3/4" and 6 1/2".  Cut the flaps and 

it is easy to assemble!

Hope you enjoy your Thursday!

FabFri121 Thank You Deer!

I have designed from the sketch a thank you card 

for a special (male) friend.  

This is my first card with the Merry Patterns set 

which you can earn for free until the end of October 

with a 300.00 order. 

I started with the lovely Christmas Around the World DSP--love this plaid!

I saw gold in it so used gold emboss powder for my Merry Patterns deer.

I heat embossed the deer and snipped him out.

 Not a great fussy cut job but works.

I added him onto a white circle and then a gold foil scallop circle.

I looked through lots of thank you stamps and settles on this one 

and the matching punch.  This thank you 

sentiment is from Thoughtful Banners with a matching banner

stamp to the punch.  The punch is the Duet Banner punch.

All this was layered on a Basic Black base and I love how it turned out!

TTTC015 Thankful Sunflowers II

I went with the middle row across-Floral, Yellow, Punch.

Floral and Yellow sunflowers (actually two yellows) and leaf punch. 

I did stamp the sunflowers and leaves on a piece 

of Very Vanilla and attached to a piece of Garden Green and then 

another piece of Very Vanilla for the base.  

Actually, a piece of thick Very Vanilla which is more sturdy.

The sunflowers are in Daffodil Delight then Crushed Curry on top.

I stamped the centers with Soft Suede and the the leaves with Garden Green.

I stamped the leaves punched out in Garden Green and Soft Suede on Very Vanilla.

I added them behind my sentiment and burlap ribbon.

PP362 A Grateful Door

Harvest Time means decor!  I love the decorate my house for fall 

because I collect PUMPKINS!  I actually have more than I can count.

I look for unusual ones esp colors and textures.  

I pull it all out Labor Day weekend and it is my fav season!

I love this last card for my classes this week because it 

creates a lovely decor scene.  The set is called At Home With You. 

I stamped the sign, the lantern and the florals with pumpkins 

in Memento Tuxedo Black 

on Whisper White and they were cut with matching dies.

The lantern and florals were colored with markers- Old Olive,

Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede Sahara Sand.

The sign's sentiment is in Pumpkin Pie.

I stamped the door plus door hanger in black on Soft Suede.

I cut a small piece of Crush Curry togo behind the door for "lights".

I layered all this on a piece of Sahara Sand embossed with the 

Pinewood Planks emboss folder and then layered on a piece 

of Basic Black for the base.

Baby Wipe Technique Leaves

Yes, the baby wipe technique!  This is my fourth card for class.

 I used a baby wipe to drop 

three colors of re inker on to make a stamp pad for my leaves.

I used the leaves from Colorful Seasons stamp set ans the matching dies

for my copper foil ones.

I dropped Fresh Fig, Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango and stamped several leaves.

 I added some paint splatter with the stamp from Timeless Textures. 

The sentiment from Colorful Seasons works great in Fresh Fig. 

Since I added the cooper leaves I decided to add the copper trim to

finish it off. 

The white background was layered on Crushed Curry and then a Fresh fig base.

Happy Fall and Happy Sunday!

Pick A Bunch Of Pumpkins

Just love this card with the pumpkins and the DSP. 

Love the Pick a Pumpkin bundle.

I like the Brick Wall emboss folder but several others would also look awesome. 

I stamped in three orange shades. Pumpkin Pie on the tall one and the littlest. 

 Tangerine Tango on the short one on right and Cajun Craze on the 

textured one.

I stamped in Lemon Lime Twist for the leaf 

plus one cut with the same color card stock. 

 All these are cut with the matching dies called Pattern Pumpkins.

I layered them on a piece of Very Vanilla Stitched Shapes Square.

I used the Tangerine Tango for the background with the 

Brick Wall emboss folder plus some Painted Autumn DSP and 

natural trim in gold to finish it off. 

I really liked it without a sentiment but this card is for class so 

I can offer some for those who want one on the front 

or to stamp inside.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

I cased this card from Jenny Hall at jennystampsup.com

I loved the layout and the leaves behind.

This is my second card for classes next week.

I used the Layering Square dies for the Soft Suede scallop and the 

Very Vanilla square.

I stamped Daffodil Delight and Curry curry with Soft Suede for the flowers.

I added some leaves in Old Olive and stamped the sentiment from the same set

called Painted Harvest in Suede.

I added some Burlap ribbon on the thick Very Vanilla base

before layering the squares.  I stamped off once with the solid

leaf in the set and then full on with the same color Old Olive

for the detailed leaf.  I used the matching leaf punch.

Finished it off with some gold sequin.

 Might offer some of the mini gold sequin in class.

Wonderful Wood Words

I used Crumb Cake card stock for the background.

I "stamped" with my emboss folder.

How do you say?

I inked up my Hexagons 3D Dynamic textured impressions folder on 

the front or top tab with Night of Navy. I laid my card stock

on top and rubbed it transferring the ink on the card stock.

I layered that onto a piece of Night of Navy and then a 

thick Whisper White base.

I then stamped the floral image from Wood Words set

on a Stitched Shapes die in a Whisper white circle along with the sentiment 

in Night of Navy.  I also stamped a rooster in same color and cut with the matching dies.

Finished it off with a sweet Night of Navy gingham ribbon bow.

This will be my first card for card classes next week and love 

how it turned out.

Friendly Tulips

I designed this card for card class this month but then decided it was 

a little spring like. I stamped the tulips from Tranquil Tulips

 first in Powder Pink and then Berry Burst on top. 

The leaves are in lemon Lime Twist. Love the sentiment from 

the Beautiful Bouquet set since the Tulips have not sentiments 

in the set. I added some Powder Pink DSP on one side and Berry Burst 

scallops cut from the Seasonal Layers dies on the other side.

I finished it off with a lovely gingham Smoky Slate ribbon to 

comment the Smoky Slate base all was layered onto.

TTTC014 Love You & Coffee Mini Treat Bag

For this week's challenge I choose the 

middle row down. I used the mini treat bag die

with Painted Autumn DSP. 

I used the glitter enamel dots  and linen thread for embellishments

and the lovely heart sentiment from the Merry Cafe set. 

 I stamped the heart in Early Espresso on Tangerine Tango

and hand snipped since none of my many heart dies/punches matched it.

I stamped the cup in Espresso on Very Vanilla and cut it with the dies. 

Also cut the lid in Espresso and the paper sleeve in Soft suede with these 

matching dies.  I did stamp in Tangerine Tango 

on the the cup before layering the items on it.

More of the Painted Autumn DSP for a banner and a Tangerine
Tango circle on the background.
Should make a cute bag to hold a note and a coffee gift card!

Christmas Pines Wreath

This is my last card for Christmas card classes that was suppose to be this week

but rescheduled due to Irma not playing nice here in Florida!

I wanted to do a wreath with this Christmas Pines set and matching dies.

I used the large swirl from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits dies

cut in Soft Suede card stock for the wreath.

I layered some Old Olive pines branches and Real Red berry stems on before 

stamping the pine cones in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and cutting them 

with dies to add. The 1/8" solid Real Red ribbon is new in the holiday catty this year. 

It is very thin so a little hard to make bows. 

I used two sentiments from the Christmas Pines set. A simple Real Red strip 

underneath the background piece layered on the Old Olive base to finish off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you have a lovely Monday!

Peace On Earth With Carols Of Christmas

I cased this from several cards I have seen 

with this great bundle called Carols of Christmas and matching dies.

 Mostly was inspired by Holly Stene at hollyshobbs.blogspot.com 

I stamped the Peace On Earth sentiment in Emerald Envy

on a large Whisper White circle. I cut the piece of 

Night of Navy on the bottom half with a 

die from Swirly Scribbles thinlits dies then layered it on Whisper White 

so the bottom looks like a snow hill.

I used the stars die cut from Card Front 

Builder thinlits dies that coordinate with this set to cut the top.

I cut the trees with those same dies and added some 

Dazzling Diamonds glitter to them to look like snow.

The last thing it needed was the sweet deer stamped in Chocolate Chip

and cut out and sitting right on the snowy hill!   

All was layered onto a Night of Navy base to finish it off.

As the fourth card for my September Christmas card class, 

I think it will be a favorite one.

Hope you have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Merry Monday 255 A Metallic Joy To The World

This is my third card for September Christmas card class.

I cut a piece of the new champagne foil paper and then embossed it with 

new Winter Wonder emboss folder...love the snowflake!

I placed a couple pieces of a new DSP behind.  

The New Year of Cheer specialty DSP is so pretty and metallic.

A mix of metals- champagne, cooper, gold and silver.

I used the 1/8"silver ribbon around the layers and then 

stamped the sentiment from a retired set I really liked called 

Tin of Tags.  It was heat embossed with gold emboss powder.

I cut the sentiment with a Stitched Shapes and popped it 

on the foil.

All was layered on a piece of thick Whisper White

as a base.  

Happy with the mixed of metals which can be used anytime of year!

Night In Bethlehem

This is my second card for September Christmas card class.

I stared at the many colors trying to decided which to use for this 

awesome bundle. I finally decided to stamp Mary and Joseph with the 

donkey in Tranquil Tide to see what it looked like.

I loved it and then stamped the shepherd and cut them out with the matching dies.

I also cut a silver foil star out with the dies to layer in the sky.

I stamped the city background on Very Vanilla in Smoky Slate along 

with the stars background. 

I stamped one of the sentiments from the set in Cherry Cobbler

before adding the die cuts on.

I love the color combo of Cherry and Tide.

I layered the vanilla on a piece of Cherry Cobbler and then a Tranquil Tide base.

Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day...thanks for stopping by!

Beachy Christmas

I had not planned on getting this set or using it it for 

my Christmas classes but my class members insisted on it.

So this is my first Christmas card for card class in September.

I wanted to stamp that cute palm tree with lights. 

I added the beach house and colored them with markers.

I layered the image on Wild Wasabi square and then on a scalloped

Real Red square. I stamped the sentiment 

and a shell I colored in on a white banner then layered on Real Red.

I used the Pinewood Planks emboss folder for the background, 

ran some retired Real Red twine around before layering all on 

the Wild Wasabi base.

GDP103 Vintage Thinking Of You

I have been wanting to pull out my lovely Vintage Leaves

set and matching dies. I grabbed the Fresh Fig ink

and stamped one leaf on Very Vanilla and the other two are 

stamped on Crumb Cake.  I cut them with the Leaflets framelits dies

and layered them on a piece of Wood Textures DSP.

I layered the DSP on Very Vanilla and a Fresh Fig base.

I grabbed the sentiment from Sheltering Tree set

and stamped it on vanilla and then cut 

with the Stitched Shapes oval.  I layered that oval onto another

in Fresh Fig.

I added some copper thread behind the ovals but 

it does not show up well in the photo.

Must play with the leaves some more later.

FabFri120 Grateful Paisleys

I stared for a long time with this color challenge.

My first thought was about using the Pick A Pumpkin bundle
but I saw others use it so decided to look for something else.
I thought these colors would make a great background
so I pulled out my Paisleys & Posies set with this sentiment
in it.  I made my own designer paper on Whisper White
and stamped in Tranquil Tide ink the sentiment
 on a piece of Peekaboo Peach.  I cut it out with
the Stitched Shapes dies.
I layered all this on a piece of Lemon Lime Twist
and a Tranquil Tide base.
I finished it off with some glitter enamel dots in three sizes.
