Peace On Earth Pines

 


I love this Snowflake Splendor DSP. You just add to the background
and it makes a beautiful card! 
I just had to pull out my Pine Woods dies and white card stock
and cut trees and snow bank to add on top. 
I grabbed a white deer cut from Snow Globe dies.
I stamped the sentiment from Wrapped In Christmas set
 in Pacific Point on a white banner. All was placed on a white base. 
A few blue gems finish it off. 
Super easy and so crisp with the blue and white!
Hope you have a wonderful Monday and 
thanks for stopping by!

Coldest Moments Snowmen

 


I had two snowmen left over from a project just waiting to be colored
and popped up on a card. They were stamped from
set Snow Wonder in Basic Gray ink and colored with markers in 
Highland Heather, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade and Garden Green.
Then cut with the Snow Time dies. 
I added them to a Snowflake Splendor DSP background with a snow bank 
from the Curvy dies in white card stock and all on a white base.
I stamped the perfect sentiment from Snowflake Wishes set in Gorgeous Grape ink.
I cut three Highland Heather snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes dies and 
finished it off with snowflake sequins. 

Hope you have a beautiful weekend and Thanks for stopping by!

Evergreen In Green

 

Happy Thanksgiving Day to You!!!

Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!



I made the beautiful but simple card using the Evergreen 
Forest EF on the green foil paper in the holiday catalog.
It is beautiful shade of green and it is hard to get a photo
 without lots of light catching it. 
I layered it on the Merry Merlot base and stamped the sentiment 
from For Unto Us set in same color ink on a stitched 
Very Vanilla circle. I added some silver thread behind
but it does not really show up in the photo. 
I hope you have a blessed holiday and thanks for stopping by!

I added it to a piece of white card stock and a Seaside Spray base.
I then added the Curvy dies white piece to the bottom after 
stamping the sentiment from For Unto Us in Night of Navy ink.
I cut the dove from Detailed Dove dies in silver glimmer paper 
and the twig in Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper. 
I added a few rhinestones to finish it off.

Thinking Of You In The Pines

 


These trees are so fun to stamp and then arrange. 
I grabbed the In The Pines bundle and stamped trees in Shaded Spruce
ink on the white Stitched Nested Labels die. I stamped some more on white 
card stock and cut them out with the matching Pine Woods dies to layer.
I stamped the sentiment from the Curvy Christmas set in Cherry Cobbler ink.
I layered the label die to some 'Tis The Season plaid designer paper 
with a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock and placed on a Shaded Spruce base.
I colored a few rhinestones in Cherry Cobbler with my Stampin Blends marker 
to add some bling. 
Hope you have a lovely Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Purple Poinsettia Gift Box

 






I used the mini Paper Pumpkin box which comes in white but 
I spritzed it with rubbing alcohol, 5 drops of Gorgeous Grape ink and a
 drop of Frost White shimmer paint. 
The shimmer does not show up well in photos but it is super shimmery.
It dries really quick with the rubbing alcohol. 
I then cut the poinsettia in Gorgeous Grape card stock, leaves in
Soft Sea Foam card stock and Dazzling 
Diamonds glimmer paper for the filler using the Poinsettia dies.
I added all on a strip of Poinsettia Plush vellum paper wrapped 
around the box but slides off to open box.
I cut Highland Heather for the centers and added a rimmed pearl
to the center, too.

Hoping you have a blessed Monday and 
thanks for stopping by!

FF0072 and FabFri202 Thankful Leaves

 





For the Festivefridaychallenge.com I picked 
water coloring, leaves and thankful theme. 
And the color challenge from
 Fabfridaystampinchallege.blogspot.com made it so easy
to make a great season of thanks card.
I grabbed the Gather Together set and the Gathered Leaves dies.
I stamped the large leaves in VersaMark ink on 
shimmer white paper and heat embossed with 
copper embossing powder. 
I water colored them with Mint Macaron, Bumblebee and 
Cinnamon Cider ink. 
I cut them out along with small leaves in Cinnamon Cider
card stock. I layered them on a piece of 
Gilded Autumn DSP in Mont Macaron and copper foil.
I ran some Bumblebee ribbon around and added a bow.
I then stamped on the shimmer white in Cinnamon Cider
a sentiment from the Gather Leaves set.
I cut it out with the new Messages die that will be
 in the SU! 2021 spring mini catalog. 
I finished it off with some in color dots in Cinnamon Cider
and a Mint Macaron base.

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

I used the Evergreen Forest embossing folder with the 
Old Olive foil from last year's catalog. 
Love the shine and the embossed image.
I ran a piece of ribbon around then layered it on a piece
 of Pretty Peacock card stock.
I added a bow and then stamped the sentiment from

That easy!

PP517 Adore Him

 



Very clean and simple holiday card for the challenge over 
at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week.
I, of course, choose Christmas as the theme or holiday.
I let the lovely Feels Like Frost DSP do most of the work for me.
I cut a piece with a beautiful scene and layered it on the Seaside Spray base.
I stamped the sentiment from For Unto Us in Night of Navy ink 
right on the designer paper. 
I then used the Detailed Dove cutting white and Seaside Spray card stock.

A Evergreen Christmas

 


I wanted to add these bears to the lovely trees scene but did not know
 what color card stock- black, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake,
Cinnamon Cider...so many colors!
I finally decided Soft Suede looked great with the color combo.
I cut them in Soft Suede card stock from the Snow Globe dies.
I then cut a white Stitched Nested Labels die and stamped the trees 
from In The Pines set in Early Espresso ink.
I then did the two step stamping in Mint Macaron and Just Jade.
I stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas set in Shaded Spruce.
I stamped another tree on white in Early Espresso ink
and two stepped it with Shaded Spruce ink. and cut it out with 
the Pine Woods dies. 
I took a piece of Shaded Spruce and ran it through the 
Evergreen Forest EF and layered it on a piece of Early Espresso
and a white base after I wrapped some braided linen ribbon around twice.
Hope you have a peaceful day and thanks for stopping by!

I wanted to do some casing from on page 35

I started with the Highland Heather card stock ran through
the Evergreen Forest EF  and then sponged some Highland Heather 
ink along with Night Of Navy ink.
I layered it on the Night of Navy base.
I then added a bit of white "snow" with the die from Pine Woods dies.
I also cut the stable from the Nativity dies in Crumb Cake card stock.
I stamped the holy family in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on thick 
white card stock and colored them with Stampin Blends markers

A Snowman Christmas

 


I knew I wanted to use a strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP
on the background but had a hard time on what blue to pull out.
I then decided the Pacific Point card was so happy and bright so
I layered it on the white base.
I used a white panel and added a strip of the DSP across.
I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder set in pacific Point ink.
I stamped the snowman in Basic Gray ink and the trees in Old Olive
on white card stock.
 I cut them out with the matching dies called Snow Time dies
. I colored it with the markers in Pool Party,
Pacific Point, Old Olive, and Poppy Parade.
I wanted to add snowflake sequin but could not decide where 
so will add before I send this card out in the mail. 

Hope you have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!

A North Pole Christmas

 


I got this layout from the mini catalog in the back on page 73
but that one was all in gray! 
I started with a Cherry Cobbler base and added a piece of 
Whisper White embossed with the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder.
I then cut the tag with a piece of Plaid Tidings DSp and added a little
Mossy Meadow striped ribbon to the top of it.
I stamped the sentiment and the sleigh in Cherry Cobbler ink
on white card stock from the Wishes & Wonder set and cut them 
with the matching dies called North Pole Wonder dies.
I also cut from those dies the copper foil reindeer and the 
Mossy Meadow branches plus the shape behind the sentiment
in Cherry Cobbler.
I colored the sleigh with my water color pencil in Cherry Cobbler 
to give it a wooden effect.
 I finished it off with some Champagne rhinestones.

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

A Curvy Christmas

 


I love these curvy dies and have been using them a lot.
I decided I had to use them along with the Curvy Christmas set 
for a fun Christmas card. 
I paired it with Real Red, Garden Green and a little Crushed Curry.
I have a Garden Green base and layered another piece of Garden green on top
 then a strip of Heartwarming Hugs DSP.
I then cut a piece of Whisper White card stock twice with the Curvy dies.
I stamped the trees in Garden Green, the sentiment in Real Red and the 
stars strip in Memento Tuxedo Black.
I colored the stars in the strip with a Crushed Curry marker.
I added a few more single stars around in the Curry ink.
I wanted to add some red rhinestones but could not decide where
so left them off for now. 
When I go to send it off, it will have more bling!
I did add the Real Red braided linen ribbon around and a bow.
Hope you enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

CTS397 Beautiful Autumn Day

 








I have a lot of copper foil going on here for the 
sketch challenge over at casethissketch.blogspot.com 
I knew I wanted to do leaves when I saw the 
four items down the middle and a sentiment across.
I started by looking through my DSP and when I saw this 
print from the Gilded Autumn DSP I know I would cut 
my leaves in Copper foil to match.
The leaves were cut from the Gathered Leaves dies and the sentiment
was stamped on a strip of white and heat embossed with 
copper powder from the Beautiful Autumn set.
The background was layered on a Mint Macaron base 
but then I just need something else.
It already and too much bling happening so I went with a cute
 Mint Macaron bow.

Thanks for topping by and have a beautiful autumn day!

Love the snowflake print of designer paper I used here for the 
sketch challenge over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com 
I added this piece of Snowflake Splendor to the white base.
I then cut a piece of vellum card stock and snipped the end for a banner shape.
I wrapped some Seaside Spray metallic ribbon around before adding the 
sentiment stamped in Misty Moonlight from the Itty Bitty Christmas set 
on the All Dressed Up white die.
I cut three different size snowflakes in white card stock from
the So Many Snowflakes dies and added some blue gems to the centers.

FF0071 Magic Merlot Poinsettia

 




Wow, I love how this turned out fot the challenge over at 
festivefridaychallenge.com this week!
I did a little casing of the layout and layers from Connie Babbert
over at inkspiredtreasures.com 
I decided to go for pearls, embossing, die cuts, pattern paper,
sentiment, and flowers. 
I added a piece of Basic Gray and a piece of Smoky Slate card stock
to a white base and then layered on a piece of the Plush Poinsettia paper.
I already had a piece of Smoky Slate cut from the Curvy dies
 for my card yesterday so used the left over to stamp my 
sentiment in Merry Merlot ink from the Poinsettia Petals set.
I then cut two small flowers and a center from the Poinsettia dies
in Merry Merlot card stock. 
I then took a sponge dauber and add some shimmer paint in Frost White
and love how it gave then perfect effect.
I added silver pearls to the middle and cut some silver foil fillers
for more sparkle. 
Hope you have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

GDP265 Celebrate Snowflakes

 



I love Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate together!
I usually would throw Calypso Coral with them for a lovely beachy 
feel but I could only think about snowflakes when I saw this challenge.
I decided to add silver glimmer paper as my other color. for the color challenge
over at global-design-project.com this week.
It really pops in person.
I cut the smoky slate with the new Curvy dies and added it to the 
Coastal Cabana piece of card stock ran with the Winter Snow EF.
I placed these on the white base and then stamped the sentiment 
from Itty Bitty Christmas set on a white banner.
I stamped a snowflake in Coastal Cabana ink on white from the 
Snowflake Wishes set and cut it with the matching dies 
plus a silver glimmer one and a white to top off.
I added a rhinestone to the middle to finish it off. 
I think I will have to make some more of these soon!
Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

PP515 Happy Thanksgiving Beautiful Autumn

 













I made two cards for Laurie's Theme Challenge over at 
thepaperplayers.blogspot.com 
I loved the sketch this past week over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com 
and so wanted to try it again for my Thanksgiving cards going out
 in a few weeks to my mom and dad. 
They both use the Gilded Autumn DSP, Beautiful Autumn bundle
and Banner Year for the sentiment.
I did stamp the top sentiment in Cajun Craze ink 
and the second card in Early Espresso ink. 
The leaves and acorns were stamped in Early Espresso ink
and then two step stamped in Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze,
Early Espresso and Crumb Cake inks. all on Very Vanilla card stock.
I added a few gems on the top in gold and the bottom card in Mint Macaron.
I think the top card is my fav due to that awesome houndstooth print.
Hope you have a blessed day an thanks for stopping by!

Curvy Snowflakes

 



While I was playing with my Curvy dies and Curvy Christmas set,
I wanted to make a card with Snowflake Splendor DSP plus bundle.
I used a piece of the Snowflake Splendor at the bottom of my white base.
I then added a piece of Whisper White cut with the Curvy dies
on top and stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight from the Curvy Christmas set.
I then stamped a Seaside Spray snowflake from Snowflake Wishes set
and layered on Pool Party and white one cut from the So Many Snowflakes dies.
I finished it off with a blue gem in the center. 
It was hard not to stamp more snowflakes or add more bling but 
I wanted to keep it clean and simple.

Hope you have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

FMS459 Merry Christmas Poinsettia

 



I like this sketch over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com 
this week; however, none of the sentiments I wanted to use would fit 
on the side like in the sketch. But that was ok since
I love the flower placement I did and the big Merry Christmas across the top! 
I used the Poinsettia Petals bundle plus the Poinsettia Place DSP.
I did cut my flower from the designer paper with the matching Poinsettia dies.
I stamped the berry stems in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla card stock 
and used the two step stamp in Real Red to color them in. 
I stamped the small branches in Old Olive and cut all out with the dies.
I stamped the sentiment from same set in Real Red across the top 
of the Very Vanilla piece layered with two prints cut from the 
Poinsettia Place DSP. 
I layered all on a Very Vanilla base and finished off with 
some gold dots.

Hope you have a lovely Monday!
