Celebrate Snowflakes

I designed this card for classes coming up but then decided to go another 

route as I was not feeling this one for my class. 

But it was fun to make as I cut the shimmer white card stock

and then spritzed the paper with a combo of rubbing alcohol and 4 drops

of Balmy Blue re-inker. The alcohol helps to to dry fast. 

I then stamped the dots stamp from Peace Boughs in Balmy Blue ink

over it for more texture.

I cut 2 sets of the Balmy Blue snowflakes from Christmas Layers dies

and 4 Night of Navy snowflakes for a little more color.

After I popped them on the background I layered it on a piece of 

thick Whisper White card stock for the base.

I stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas set in Night of Navy ink 

on the white strip and pooped it up over the snowflakes. 

I finished it off with the metallic silver pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a 

wonderful week!

CTS346 & FF0046 Golden Glitz Reindeer

Love the sketch from Casethissketch.blogspot this week and
fun picking from the list for festivefridaychallenge.com
I picked stitching, texture and green for this festive Christmas card.
I stamped my deer from Dashing Deer set in Golden Glitz ink and cut it
with the matching Detailed Deer dies.  I popped him on the Cherry Cobbler
label from Beautiful Boughs dies and a strip of Wrapped in Plaid
DSP before laying all on a piece of Shaded Spruce embossed
with the Stylish Scroll folder.
I layered these on a white base. I cut the sentiment
from the Stitched Rectangle dies in white and stamped in Cherry Cobbler
from same Dashing Deer set.

Hope you can play along over at both challenges and thanks
for stopping by today!

PP466 Gather Together

I wanted to do some copper embossing on my leaves

and this wood element challenge from Annie Marie was the perfect time.

I cut my leaves from Cherry Cobbler card stock with the Gathered Leaves dies.

I then added a bit of VersaMark ink to them randomly and poured my 

copper emboss powder on and used the heat tool to set. 

I popped them up on the wood print from Come To Gather DSP

and layered with Cherry and a Early Espresso base.

For the sentiment, I stamped it from Come Together set in Cherry

on white card stock and cut it with the Ornate Frames dies.

I did the same for the Espresso layer as well as the copper foil. 

Love the rustic look.

FMS409 Christmas Cheer In Copper

I did not go for the square card this time but I do like to make them.

cut a copper foil deer from the Detailed Deer dies. 

I added the strip of DSP to the Very Vanilla background ran embossed 

with the Subtles emboss folder. I added those to the Night of Navy base.

I cut a Navy circle and pooped my foil deer on and added a vanilla and copper bow.

I stamped the sentiment in Celestial Copper ink on Vanilla from

Let It Snowman Tag

I wanted to make a simple tag for my customer 

who purchased this bundle from me this week.

I cut a 2" x 4" piece of white card stock and 

stamped Coastal Cabana snowflakes and the 

sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the snowman on a piece of 

thick white piece of card stock and it punched out 

plus the top hat. I colored on the snowman and hat and popped

them up on the tag.

 I also punched the Soft Suede stick arms and added those.

I punched a hole in top and added some Real Red ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peaceful Toile Tidings

I used some of the pretty Toile Tidings DSP in the Garden Green print.

I added the Green stitched die on the DSP and then layered it on a piece 

of Garden Green card stock. I ran the Green 3/8" double stitched ribbon

around and before adding to the Very Vanilla base.

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red on the Vanilla stitched label

from the Peace Boughs set.

 I finished off of with Toile Tidings glitter enamel dots in Real Red.

The stitched labels dies were a limited time set last fall 

called Stitched Seasons.

Copper Christmas Gleaming!

I saw Patty Bennett over at pattystamps.com 

run her emboss folder called Hammered Metal through

to emboss a Very Vanilla piece of card stock then rub some 

Celestial Copper Delicata ink over with a sponge.

I tried it and love it so added it to my Pretty Peacock base.

I cut the Copper foil from the Stitched Nested Labels and then added 

a Very Vanilla one on top.

I punched the copper ornament then a Brightly Gleaming DSP one plus

 stamped a copper on Vanilla and punched it with

 the Gleaming Ornament punch pack.

I tied the 1/2" Classic Weave ribbon with the words Merry Christmas 

in copper. I did not even have to use a a sentiment stamp.

I finished it off with a Pretty Peacock rhinestone.

Hope you have a beautiful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
