FMS508 & GDP315 Best Time For Pretty Pumpkins

 

I am playing along with the sketch over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com and the theme challenge over at global-design-project.com with my pretty embossed pumpkins! They are photographing a little lighter here but I did stamp the pumpkins from Pretty Pumpkins with VersaMark on Petal Pink card stock and heat embossed in white embossing powder. I cut them out with the matching Detailed Pumpkins dies.  I added them to the scallop rectangle cut from Scalloped Contours dies in Early Espresso card stock. I added behind a strip of Crumb Cake and a piece of the In Good Taste DSP. I then stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Deer in Cherry Cobbler on a Crumb Cake label die cut from the Potted Succulent dies. A few copper brushed metallic dots to finish it off after ding all to the white base. 

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

PP563 & GDP314 A Blackberry Beauty Birthday

 

I am combing the sketch over at global-design-project.com and Jaydee's birthday theme over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com for today's card. I had to pull my Blackberry Beauty DSP back out and add it to the card. I cut it with a stitched rectangle die then added to the piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and layered on a Blackberry base. I then cut a stitched circle from the gold shimmer vellum paper in the holiday catalog and popped up an owl die cut from the Blackberry Beauty ephemera pack. I used a label die from the same pack with gold trim to stamp the sentiment from the retired Clubhouse set in Blackberry Bliss ink. I finished it off with a few square gems in Cinnamon Cider. 

Hope you have beautiful fall weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Gingerbread & Peppermint Bags

 

I decorated bags for my guest to carry their cards home from Christmas card classes

 this week with the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite.

I used the DSP with the same name as well as the Memories & More card pack.

 The candy and ornaments were cut from the designer paper as well. 

Hope you have a fab Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Snowman Season

 

I did a fun fold for my last Christmas card this month since I am using a fun set! I got the fold/cut from my friend and fellow demo Jackie Beers over at jackiebeers.com  You can see her card here.  I cut a regular A2 size Night Of Navy base but just cut two triangles off the top flap of the card. I marked the three sides at 2 3/4" and cut from there. I also embossed the flap with the Subtles embossing folder for texture. Inside I layered a piece of Poppy Parade and then a piece of Basic White. 

I stamped the corners of the white in Pool Party ink with the the snowflakes from Snowman Season set

and the sentiment in Poppy Ink. I then stamped the snowman in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a white stitched oval and colored him with my Stampin Blends markers in Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pool Party and Poppy Parade. I then cut a Poppy Parade scallop oval from Layering Oval dies to pop behind. I finished off with some snowflake sequin retired from last holiday season. 

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merriest Moments

 

I know that purple of not a tradition Christmas color but I love it and thought it was perfect for my fourth card for class and with this bundle. I started with a Gorgeous Grape base and cut the solid Merriest Frames die in Highland Heather card stock. I then cut the white card stock with the detailed die from same dies and then embossed it in the matching embossing folder. I cut the center stitched rectangle out from the same dies in white to stamp my sentiment from Merriest Moments set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I then stamped the flowers in Grape, Highland Heather and stems in Granny Apple Green before cutting out with the Merriest Frames dies. I finished it off with a pastel pearl in Gorgeous Grape.

Have a beautiful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Gingerbread & Peppermint

My third Christmas card for classes this week of course is with the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite!

I did a little casing for my layout from Julie Gilson over at stampingala.com  See her card here. 

I used a white base to layer the Real Red card stock and then a piece of white embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder for texture. I layered with a piece of Real Red mini ruffled ribbon and a strip of Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP. I stamped the Real Red ornament from the Frosted Gingerbread set along with the candy and cut out with the Gingerbread dies. I also cut out the snowflake and bell from another print of the DSP with those dies. 

I then stamped the sentiment on white card stock and cut it out with the label from Pretty Pillow Box dies which are a part of the large suite. A few red rhinestones finish it off.

Have a happy Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Tidings Of Christmas

 

My second card for Christmas card classes next week uses the lovely Tidings Of Christmas suite. I started with a Evening Evergreen base and cut the DSP strips from Tiding Of Christmas DSP 1 1/2" x 4". I cut the white scallop rectangle piece from Stitched So Sweetly dies and stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Tiding & Trimmings set. I also stamped the stocking on a piece of white in Evening Evergreen ink and cut with the matching Christmas Trimmings dies along with a Cherry star, gold foil detailed star, a Cherry bow stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a Cherry sprig. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!
