Peace Love Joy For Christmas

 



I did some casing from the SU! catty page17 for the Neutral Noel suite last week. This was my first Christmas card this year and I made 12 of them. I usually send out around 35 so this set me on my way to getting to that total. I have a white base and a layer of the Neutral Noel DSP. I then cut out the large oval greenery in Mossy Meadow card stock with the Noel Tidings dies. I stamped the houses in Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake inks plus the deer in Early Espresso ink and the tree in Granny Apple Green ink from the Welcome Noel set on white card stock than cut with matching dies. I also added a Mossy wreath to the house from same dies. The banner is from the Noel Tidings dies in white card stock stamped with a retired sentiment from the Peace On Earth stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink. 
I finished off with some gold gems on the banner. 
I will share more creations from this suite soon! 
Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

PP808 Gourd-geous

 




I am playing along with Stef's clean and simple theme challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  Not decided if sending this one to my son or daughter in the mail! I have a white base plus another piece of white card stock ran through the Softly Woven embossing folder. I cut a piece of the Painted Patch DSP with the Banner dies and ran some white thread I colored with Timid Tiger ink around and added the double bow. I then stamped the pumpkin trio from the Painted Pumpkins set in Timid Tiger ink and cut with the matching dies.  I blended Tiger and Crisp Canteloupe ink with my blending brushes. I cut then cut several twig/leaves in Granny Apple Green card stock. I stamped the sentiment in Tiger ink and hand snipped it out. the pumkins were popped up on a vellum circle cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. I finished with some light green gems. 
Hope you have a gorgeous day!
Thanks for stopping by!

PP807 Warm And Beachy

 






I am playing along with Jan's colour challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  I have to say that when I saw these colors I first thought of my Perfectly Pears set and thought of the pears in the green with a blue background.  However, when I read that Jan said it was spring in the South Pacific and I am in Flordia where we are still in much heat, I had to grab my palms! I have used the Paradise Plams set and Palms dies which have retired but still get used a lot here. 
I have a Azure Afternoon base with a piece of white card stock ran through with the new Softly Woven embossing folder. I then cut a white oval with the new Noel Tidings dies. I stamped the water/land stamp first in Crumb Cake ink for sand and then Azure Afternoon ink for water on the bottom of the oval. I stamped the trees in Crumb and Granny Apple Green inks on white card stock and cut with matching dies. I popped them on the oval. I stamped the sentiment in Azure ink on a white Stylish Shapes banner die and finished with some Azure Afternoon dots.
Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

PP806 Love You Lots

 



I am playing along with Ann's Nature's Landscapes Challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with a Basic Beige base cut just a little longer than an standard A2 card then I added a bit of Splenid Autumn DSP with a fall scene. I grabbed my Gallery Blooms dies and ran a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock through with the frame die and then ran it through with the Timber embossing folder to look more like a wood frame. I stamped the sentiment from a new set called Poetic Petals in VersaMark ink on Basic Beige card stock and heat embossed with my heat tool and Copper embossing powder. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die. I finished off with a double linen thread bow. 
This will be soon be on its way to my son! 
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fall Y'All

 



I made these two cards for my kids (who actually adults)...one for my daughter with a pink shirt and lighter hat on the left and one for my son with a red shirt and darker hat on the right! I think this Fun For Fall bundle is so... well fun! I got ispirational in design and coloring from stampingbae.com  I have a Hydrangea Hue base and apiece of the Gingham Gallery DSP. I then cut two Everyday Arches-one in white and a larger one in Golden Glow card stock. I stamped the images on white card stock and colored with Stampin Blends in Hydrangea Hue, Real Red, Berry Burst, Gloden Glow, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Peaceful Pine, Basic Black, Lemon Lolly, and Ivory. I then cut all out with the matching dies cuts. I finished with some in color dots in Golden Glow or Hydrangea Hue. I wish I had thought to blend some blue in the background before popping all on the white die. But love it anyway1
Have a sweet weekend and hopefully feeling coolr weather!
Thanks for stopping by!

PP804 Hello There Panda Bear!

 




I am playing along with Christy's clean and simple bear challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com   I am sending this card to my daughter who not only loves blue but is nicknamed Panda as her name is Amanda!  As soon as I saw the bear challenge, I grabbed my Big Little Things set with the Panda bear! I stamped the bear in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a white Creative Haven die banner. I also stamped the sentiment on top in Hydrangea Hue ink. I place it on a new die called Scalloped Christmas Cheer cut in Hue card stock and added to the Gingham Gallery DSP in Hue and on the same color card stock base. I finished with Hydrangea Hue dots.  
Thanks for stopping by!
Have a beautiful day!

PP803 Simply Thinking Of You

 



For LeAnne;s color challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week I went clean and simple with the Simply Leaves bundle. More white makes these three colors not so dark and heavy! I have a white base and a piece of white ran through the Falling Leaves embossing folder and cut with the Textured Notes die. I stamped the leaves in Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Real Red inks on white card stock then punched with the matching punch. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on a white strip and finished off with some gold dots.  
Hope you have a lovely last week before fall!
Thanks for stopping by!
