FMS413 Rest & Relax

Fun sketch over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com 

this week and I had to play with a new bundle in the 2020 mini catalog.

I got my Christmas cards and projects finished so I could play 

with my fav suite called Tropical Oasis.

I did not use any of the designer paper by the same name yet.

I did use the Coastal Weave emboss folder with the Old Olive panel of 

card stock and it will be anew fav!

I added it to the white base. Then, I cut more white card stock

to stamp the background in Daffodil Delight with the Artisan Textures set.

I stamped the trees from Timeless Tropical set in Soft Swede for the 

trunks and Pear Pizzazz with some Old Olive sponged on before stamping.

I stamped the flower in Crumb Cake ink and colored it with 

the Stampin Blends markers in Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral.

I cut these plus the leaves in Old Olive card stock from the matching dies 

called In The Tropics dies. I added a rhinestone in the center of the flower.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment-love this one- in Soft Suede ink.

It turned out cute and worked great with the sketch!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend!

Plaid Snow Globe Duo

Yesterday I showed the cards I cased from Cindy Schuster over at 

nutmegcreations.blogspot.com  (can see her cards here)

I decided I had to do them in plaid...why?  I love plaid and 

I still have lots of this designer paper called Wrapped In Plaid!

Funny, I looped the ribbon in the green card but gave up in the next one.

I really am not good at lopping it!

Here I used the Snow Globe Scenes dies again for the animals in gold

foil and the trees in shimmer white card stock. 

I cut the globes in vellum. I added some retired sequin to the globes.

I used a sentiment from Greatest Part Of Christmas on the deer card

stamped in Early Espresso ink on white shimmer and cut with

the Lakeside dies label. On the polar bears, I used a sentiment 

from So Many Stars. I tried looping the 

gold ribbon from the Chrsitmastime is Here suite on the deer 

card behind the sentiment label.

I used a Shaded Spruce base and a Night of Navy base for these cards.

Hope you are inspired to finish up your Christmas cards/projects!

Have a wonderful Black Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I just had to case Cindy Schuster's at nutmegcreations.blogspot.com 

great snow globe cards! I just wish I was better at looping that ribbon behind! Ha!

You can see Cindy's cards here.

I have been wanting to play more with this Still Scenes bundle. 

I used the Seaside Spray card stock for bases.

I added the same print from Feels Like Frost DSP. 

I cut the globe in vellum and added to background. 

I cut the pieces from the Snow globe dies and added the globe.

Some I added the sequin in white snowflakes or silver. 

The churches are cut in silver foil and the animals in 

Early Espresso card stock and the trees in shimmer white.

I also cut the sentiment labels in shimmer white from 

Lakeside dies. I stamped the sentiments in Early Espresso ink

from So Many Stars (with the deer), and Greatest Part Of Christmas

host set. I finished off with some Seaside Spray metallic ribbon

looped behind the sentiments. 

Hope you enjoy your holiday

 and thanks for stopping by!

GDP217 A Magnolia Thanks

Great timing with this color challenge over at 

global-design-project.com 

I needed to make a special thanks card for someone 

extremely special to me and I love playing with this suite!

I was also glad to get to use my crumb cake ribbon! 

I started with the Crumb Cake base and added the Flirty Flamingo 

card stock plus the two prints from the Magnolia Lane DSP.

I ran the Crumb Cake satin edged ribbon from the 

Come to Gather suite around. I stamped the flowers in Memento 

Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with the Stampin Blends markers

in Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow. I cut them out with matching dies.

I cut some Mossy Meadow leaves out as well.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set called Good Morning Magnolia 

in Mossy Meadow ink on white card stock  and cut it with the Ornate Frames dies. 

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabfri177 Merry Christmas Ornaments

Since I already had out the Brightly Gleaming suite,

I decided to make my fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com 

card with this awesome suite.

I started with the Pretty Peacock base and added the ornament print 

of the Brightly Gleaming DSP. I wrapped the Merry Christmas ribbon around

and added the strip of Peacock card stock. 

I cut the Very Vanilla Stitched oval from Stitched Shapes dies to the side.

I punched the copper foil ornament out after I heat embossed  in copper the 

design I stamped in VersaMark ink from Christmas Gleaming set. 

I heated embossed in copper also the holly on Old Olive

 in copper and hand snipped it out.

 I colored in the berries with my Stampin Blends Cherry Cobbler marker. 

The copper was not behaving for me to get a great shot without a glare. 

But it turned out so cute!

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

CTS349 Spirit Of Peace

I love all this copper! I decided to use my Frosted Frames

for this sketch over at casethissketch.blogspot.com 

I used some copper foil ran thru the Hammered Metal emboss folder

and the some Brightly Gleaming DSP

 in Pretty Peacock with copper running through. 

I cut the frame from Frosted Frames dies in Peacock, the other 

label in Very Vanilla and the snowflakes in copper foil.

I stamped the sentiment from Peace Boughs in Celestial Copper ink.

I layered it all on the Peacock base.

It was actual a really quick card but so elegant!

PP469 Thinking Of You with Christmas Roses

I started with the Crumb Cake base to make the roses pop!

I stamped the roses in Memento Tuxedo Black ink

on thick Whisper White card stock and colored with my 

Stampin Blends markers.

I used Cherry Cobbler on the roses, Rococo Rose on the berries,

Crumb Cake on the pine cones and Old Olive on the leaves.

I cut it out with the large marching die.

I added a strip of gold foil and Christmastime Is Here DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from Colorful Seasons set in Memento

Tuxedo Black on a white strip.

I finished it off with some gold glitter gems.

Thanks for the lovely sketch Joanne!
