FabFri148 Barn Door Blessings

I looked long and hard at each of my sets.  

When I saw my Barn Door set, I thought an orange barn door...yes!

I stamped the door on Pumpkin Pie card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I cut it out with the matching die. I stamped the wreath twice- once in Pie and 

then in Gorgeous Grape.  I cut the Grape out with the matching die 

and then cut the bow out with the die for it.

I layered the Pie bow on the wreath over the Grape one.

I cut the little handle in black card stock with die also.

I stamped the sentiment from the set in Grape

then layered some Grape card behind the white and placed 

it on a Basic Black base to finish it off.

Hope you can head over and play with the great color challenge

this week at fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Dashing Deer Gift Bags For Classes

As you know I like to give my guests at classes 

something they can carry their handmade cards home.

This month I decorated white gift bags with a holiday 

theme so they can use them again. 

I layered some Dashing Long DSP cut 4" by 6".

I cut a Stitched Seasons label in white and stamped a sentiment 

from Hearts Come Home set in Garden Green ink.

I cut the deer from the champagne foil with matching die and added a 

Cherry Cobbler bow from the Alpine Sports dies to him.

I added some greenery on both sides from the same Detailed Deer dies. 

Quick and easy for the holidays!

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

CTS293 Hug A Snowflake

I love the background you can make with this Beautiful Blizzard set.

So when I saw this sketch, I knew what to do.

I stamped the background on white card stock in Bermuda Bay a few times

after stamping off to make it lighter.

I then stamped Bay snoflakes over it. I cut a 1 " by 4" strip

in Bermuda Bay card stock and heat embossed the sentiment 

in white emboss powder.  I cut the snowflake die 

from the Blizzard thinlits dies and colored the rhinestone 

with the Bermuda Bay dark Stampin Blends marker.

Adding it to the Bermuda bay base was the finishing touch.

Hope you can play along over at casethissketch.blogspot.com

Thanks for stopping by!

Have ablessed day!

A Winter Woods Scene

I made a sweet winter scene for my last Christmas card for classes this week.

I stamped the background trees in Crumb Cake 

on a piece of Whisper White card stock.

I ran it through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder.

I cut the snow hill in White card stock with the Into The Woods dies.

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red.

I stamped the trees in Shaded Spruce.  The front one is full on ink and 

the second one behind is stamped off once to make lighter.

They are cut with the matching dies.

Hope you enjoy your Monday and thanks for stopping by!

A Christmas Greeting

The Alpine Adventures bundle is so much fun.

I enjoyed designing with this set for this month's fourth

Christmas card for classes.

I started with the white background ran through the big shot with

the Swirls & Curls embossing folder.

I layered it on a Cherry Cobbler base.

I added a piece of the Festive farmhouse DSP in a cute plaid design

to the side and a Gray Granite circle to the other side.

I layered the cherry sled on it and stamped the snow shoes 

in Early Espresso and the wreath in Mossy Meadow ink. 

All cut with the matching dies called Alpine Sports thinslits dies.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite on a small

white oval and finished it off with a Cherry twine bow on my wreath.

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

A Brightly Shining Star

I am excited about the Gorgeous Grape card stock

making this third card for Christmas Classes this month so awesome!

I stamped the star from the Illuminated Christmas set in Grape

on the base. I then stamped the image in 

Memento Tuxedo Black on the thick White stitched square.

I used my Stampin Blends to color the wise men.

I also stamped the sentiment from the set in black

on the Smoky Slate banner.

I used the Stained Glass thinlits dies to make the frame 

in Smoky Slate card stock and added some bling with rhinestones.

I love the way this card turned out but I did get a bit of the idea

 for the layout from the holiday catty page 15.

Hope you have a bright and shiny weekend 

and thanks for stopping by!

A Dashing Deer

I love the Dashing Along DSP which was a promo

last month so I got lots for Christmas card classes this month

and used it on this second card for classes.

I layered it on a piece of Garden Green and the a Very Vanilla base

tying some ribbon around with a bow.

I added the two label dies in Very Vanilla and Garden Green

cut with the Stitched Seasons dies.

I stamped the deer from Dashing Deer in Cherry Cobbler and 

used a Early Espresso marker for the antlers.

It was cut with the matching die set called Detailed Deer.

I used a label die from Petals & More thinslits dies

for the sentiment stamped in Garden Green on Vanilla.

Hope you enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!
