Joy & Peace

Sweet bears that I hand snipped right out of the Beary Chrsitmas DSP and layered on a Night of Navy Countryside Corners die. I then stamped the sentiment from the Night Divine set in night of Navy ink on a white Countryside Corners die. I popped them both on layers of Beary Chrsitmas DSP, Night Of Navy Cardstock and a Balmy Blue base after I ran some Navy twine around with a bow. I finished off with a few gems in blue. 

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP659 Let It Snow

 

I like Ann Marie's sketch challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  I wanted to use the Beary Christmas suite again so I grabbed that DSP and cut four strips and layered them on a piece of Balmy Blue card stock and a white base. I then cut a Night Of navy circle and a white one from the Deckled Circles dies. On the white one, I stamped snowflakes from the Beary Cute set in Balmy Blue ink. I then stamped the bear in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and punched him out with the matching punch. I added a scarf in Misty Moonlight ink. In the same ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes set on white card stock and cut from the Deckled Circles dies.   I finished off with a few Misty Moonlight gems. 

Hope you have a beary special day! Thanks for stopping by!

A Harvest For You

 

I have been hoarding the wood image from the All About Autumn DSP to use on cards and finally added it with a piece of Cajun Craze card stock and a Very Vanilla base.

I stamped the image from the Rustic Crate set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on very Vanilla card stock and colored with my Stampin Blends markers. I cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla card stock in Cajun Craze ink  and cut with the Nested Essentials dies. I finished off with more Neutrals sequins in copper.

I layered it on another piece of the DSP and a Night Of Navy base. I stamped the sentiment from the Season of Chic set in Night of Navy ink on a white die cut from the Countryside Corners dies.

October Birthday Queen

 

I have a friend who is obsessed with Halloween and her birthday is in October! I found a pack of this retired DSP called Magic In the Air to make her bday card. I used a Basic Black base and two prints of the paper. I then grabbed my Cottage Wreaths bundle and stamped a straw wreath on Very Vanilla card stock with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut it out with the matching dies. I also stamped 5 spiders in Black ink and blended a little Fresh Freesia ink on them before cutting out. I stamped the crown in Black ink plus sentiments in Blackberry Bliss ink from the Queen Bee set and hand snipped them out to pop on. I stamped the pumpkin in Moddy Mauve ink plus her face in Black ink on Vanilla card stock and used the Pick Of The Patch builder punch. I added several black rhinestones that are retired on the wreath and card for bling. 

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

Blessing Boxes

 

I made lots of boxes for my class to take home their cards and then use for whatever they want. 

I have used the retired Merry Merlot card stock and then some DSP called Earthen Elegance DSP on the front. I cut the leaf in Very Vanilla card stock with the Autumn Leaves dies and ran through with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. I also cut a copper vein from the same dies. I then used the Merry Merlot ink to stamp the word Blessings from the Pick Of The Patch stamp set on Very Vanilla cards tock and cut with the Stylish Shapes dies. They have one gold sequin added under the leaf for some bling. To make the boxes, Use one sheet of card stock cut at 8 1/4" by 11". Score on the the long side at 5.25" by 7" and the short side at 1 3/4" on either side. Cut in the tabs and glue together and the use scissor to cut an angle at top of each side. 

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

I then cut two Countryside Corners die in white and Peacock card stocks. I cut the large pot, the handle of the small pot, the small fern and the large fan all from the Earthen Elegance DSP or Oxidized Copper specialty paper. I stamped the fern in Pretty Peacock on white to cut out and the small pot is cut in white card stock and stamped plus blending with Peacock ink. All those were stamped and cut from the Earthen Textures bundle-stamp set and dies. I added the sequin in copper and stamped the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on white card stock strip.

Just A Inked Note

 

Today for my fourth card for classes next week, I have a simple fun fold with the Inked Botanicals suite. I started with a Lost Lagoon card stock piece cut 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" I then scored on the long side at 2 3/4" and 7" to make the fold. I added the white inside cards stock stamped with the large leaf from the Inked & Tiled set in Lost Lagoon ink. Outside, I cut two panels of Calypso Coral card stock-one at 2 1/2" by 5" and the other at 1 1/4" by 5 1/4". I cut the Inked Botanicals DSP strip at 1" by 5" and the white card stock is cut 2 1/4" by 5". On the white piece, I used my Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon markers to add color to my flowers/stems before stamping the image. I also used some Lost Lagoon ink with my sponge dauber to add ink around the edge of the white before attaching. I then cut the banner from the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink. I added to the front plus a Pool Party gem to add a little bling. 

Have a beautiful weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Pick Of The Patch

 

This card is so much fun with the bright colored pumpkins. I designed it for my third card for classes next week. I started with a white base and a layer of Pumpkin pie card stock. I then cut a piece of Lemon lime Twist card stock and ran some retired Pumpkin Pie twine around and added a bow. I then cut a white Deckled Rectangle die to add my pumpkins. I used the Pick Of The Patch stamp set to stamp in Moody Mauve, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist inks, plus Mossy Meadow leaves. I did stamp the one Pumpkin Pie pumpkin on a piece of white card stock and punch it and the two leaves out with the matching punch. I stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink and then finished off with some speckled dots in Moody Mauve.

One Horse For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is All Creatures Great and Small. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My favorite animal is a horse so it is no surprise I grabbed the Horse & Sleigh bundle for this card to blog hop with the Pals! I used a Sweet Sorbet base with a layer of Basic Black ink and a layer of Basic White for the background. I used my blending brush to add Pool Party ink on the background and then I cut some white snow mounds for the bottom for texture and two trees in Early Espresso and white card stocks with the Horse & Sleigh dies. I stamped the image on a piece of white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Stampin Blends markers. I cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set also in black ink on the Pool Party circle punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch. I colored the sleigh and people a little muted so my horse would stand out even more. 

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month (second Wednesday), when our theme will be The Color Purple.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I love every detail of this All About Autumn suite! I tried to used lots of the products you will find in the suite like the amazing Distressed tile embossing folder, the DSP, the speckled dots and copper ribbon!

I also layered a piece of the All About Autumn DSP plus some Natural 1' ribbon across the middle. I stamped the leaves from the Autumn Leaves set in Crushed Curry with Cajun Craze for the veins and Copper Clay inks on Very Vanilla card stock. I cut them along with some other leaves in the Oxidized Copper specialty paper with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment in Copper Clay ink on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and cut it with the label from the same dies.

PP656 Horse & Snow Bunny

 

Joanne's theme challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com was awesome for me as I got to use two of my favorite animals, who happen to be 4 legged, on this card. I love horses and a close second is bunnies. I even collect bunnies (not real ones). So a grabbed the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and added this scene to a Misty Moonlight base. I then stamped the horse and bunny from the Horse Sleigh set on a piece of white card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with my Stampin Blends markers. I thought the horse would look good in gray on the white/blue scene. I used both light and dark Smoky Slate as well as Light Night of Navy 0n the reins. I added a little Pool Party to my bunny. I cut these out with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes set in Misty Moonlight ink on a small white oval punched from the Double Oval punch. 

I will send this to my daughter later in winter because she loves horses, too!
