Best & Brightest Stars

 


I have my last card for November Christmas card classes here using the Stars At Night bundle. I started with a Starry Sky base and added a piece of Boho Blue ran through with the Stars at Night embossing folder. I wrapped the gold ribbon around before attaching and stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink on the white label die. I stamped the large star in Starry Sky ink on white card stock and cut it out with the matching die. I also cut the gold stars from the same die set and finished off with a gold swirl dot in the middle of the large star. 
Hope you have a beautiful day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Trees

 


This is my fourth card for November Christmas card classes and I am using the Merriest trees bundle. I have a Granny Apple Green base and a layer of Fresh Freesia card stock and a piece of basic white on top to make a background. I stamped the large tree in Fresh Freesia ink on white card stock and then another detailed stamp on top in same color. I cut it out along with the Granny Apple green and basic white small trees with the Merriest Trees dies.  On the white small tree, I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple ink. I stamped the tree truck in Pebbled Path ink and cut it with the matching dies. For my background, I stamped the snow in Freesia ink and cut some white snow mounts with the Horse & Sleigh dies. I finished off with some iridescent pearls on the large tree plus a punched star in Crushed Curry card stock.
Have a magical Monday and thanks for stopping by !

Noel For Christmas

 


Love this card for my November Christmas card classes and I did some casing from Tammy Beard over at stampinsavvy.com  You can see her card here. I have a Real red base and a piece of Very Vanilla layered on top after stamping my sentiment from Joy Of Noel in Real Red ink. I added the strips of paper from the Joy Of Christmas DSP and Joyful specialty paper. I then cut some greenery from the Joy Of Noel dies in Mossy Meadow card stock. I stamped the image on Very Vanilla card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with my Stampin Blends in Dark Real Red, Dark and Light Old Olive. I cut it out with the matching die and finished off with gold sequins and a Black and Vanilla ribbon bow. 
Hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

A Rockin' Christmas

 



I bought this set called Rocking Horse because of this sentiment...love it for my second card for November Christmas card classes. I have a white base and a layer of Pecan Pie card stock and another layer of Cherry Cobbler ran through with the Merry Melody embossing folder. I then stamped the rocking horse in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock and colored it with the Stampin Blends markers in Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green, and Cherry Cobbler. I cut the saddle in Cherry Cobbler card stock and the detailed bottom in Pecan Pie card stock plus cut out the rocking horse from the matching dies. I cut the bear out in Pecan Pie card stock and the drum and horn with stamped in black ink and cut out with same dies. I added some Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight to the instruments with Blends. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with the Labels Aglow dies.

Noel For The Pals Blog Hop

 


Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays. 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 home for the holidays card uses the lovely Joy Of Christmas suite. I have been wanting to cut out those letters to spell NOEL. I have a Very Vanilla base with a Cherry Cobbler piece of card stock with a layer of the Joyful specialty paper with gold musical notes. So pretty. I then stamped the letters from the Joy Of Noel set on vanilla card stock in Cherry Cobbler ink. I cut them out with the matching dies and added them on a vanilla  rectangle cut from the Stitched Rectangle dies.  I stamped the image from the same set in Memento Tuxedo Black on vanilla card stock and colored it with my Stampin Blends markers and cut out with the matching dies. I also cut Mossy Meadow greenery with the dies. I took a piece of Very Vanilla ribbon and cut it in half and then tied a bow. I finished off with some gold pearls from the Blooming Pearls.   

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, when our theme will be Winter Wonderland.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Tidings Of Joy

 



My first card with the Winter Meadow suite and my first for November Christmas card classes. I have a piece of Garden Green card stock cut 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" for the base. I added the white card stock to the front cut at 3 3/4" by 10" and scored at 5". On the front of the white card stock, I added the Winter Meadow DSP to the bottom and a strip of Moody Mauve card stock with Garden Green twine tied around. I stamped the berries and other greenery from the Magical Meadow set in Moody Mauve, Lost Lagoon and Garden Green inks. I cut them out along with other stems in Moody Mauve and Garden Green card stocks with the matching dies. I cut the white label from the Something Fancy dies to stamp my sentiment from the Christmas Classics set in Garden Green ink. I finished off with a few white sequins. 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a magical day!

Noel Christmas Tag


Another tag for a special class this week using the Joy Of  Noel bundle. I cut the white tag from the Merriest Trees dies and added the Joyful specialty paper on and then cut a white square from the Christmas Classics dies to stamp my sentiment in Real Red ink from the Joy Of Noel set. I cut the greenery from both the Christmas Classics dies and Joy Of Noel dies in Old Olive and Shaded Spruce card stocks. I added another tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies in Real Red to the back. I used a retired Real Red ribbon to tie up top. I finished off with red rhinestones in the two corners. 
Have a lovely Monday and thanks for stopping by!
