Merry & Bright

 

I really like the Brightest Glow bundle plus the Lights Aglow DSP together. I need to make more cards with them. I started with the Evening Evergreen base and asdded a strip of Lights Aglow DSP with some gold ribbon tied around to the left. I then cut a white square and used the Labels Aglow die to cut the round detailed design and added another square of gold foil behind. I stamped the the sentiment from the Brightest Glow set in VersaMark ink on white card stock and heat embossed in gold embossing powder and cut with the same dies to pop up. 

Super simple card but the gold makes it looks to elegant.

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

Merry Scottie

 

Just a simple Z fold card I made playing around with the Chrsitmas Scottie bundle. I stamped the plaid stamp from the the Christmas Scottie set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Cherry Cobbler cards stock and punched the dog out with the Scottie Dog punch. I also punched out the Granny Apple Green bow and added a pearl. I popped him on a white square plus a black square both cut with the Stylish Shapes dies. I used Cherry Cobbler for my base and a piece of Granny Apple Green ran through the Wintry embossing folder for the outside panel. I finished by stamping the sentiement on the white panel inside with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

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

Happy Christmas Spruced Up

 

Sometimes I make a card as I am designing for card classes and it is a hit and sometimes it is not. I designed this card but did not love it and so re-worked it and you will see soon my card for November card classes. Yes, I love to use purple for Christmas cards! Here I did a gate fold with my Gorgeous Grape card stock. I added two panels on the outside in white card stock ran through with the Wintry embossing folder with the snowflakes. I then blended some Fresh Freesia ink over with my blending brush. I cut the Scalloped Contour panel from white card stock to pop up my images. I stamped the sentiments in Granny Apple Green ink  on white card stock and cut them out with the Stylish Shapes dies in banners. I then stamped the large ornament from the Spruced Up set in Gorgeous Grape ink on white card stock and cut it out with matching dies called Spruced Up Outlines dies. When you cut you get the outline which here I used as my second ornament. I then stamped on on white the snowflake from the same set in Fresh Freesia ink and cut with the same dies. I also cut from those dies a topper in silver foil and the string in Granny Apple Green card stock. I finished it off with some rhinestones for bling. 

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

PP614 Christmas Holly Wishes

 

For Ann's sketch challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week, I pulled out my pearls! Ha...along with the lovely Boughs of Holly suite. I started with the Shaded Sprice base and added a piece of the Boughs Of Holly DSP. I also added a strip of Real Red card stock. I cut a white detailed label from the Holly Berry dies and then hand snipped out the poinsettias and leaves from the designer paper. I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves Of Holly set in VersaMark ink on a piece of Shaded Spruce card stock and heat embossed it in white embossing powder with my heat tool. I cut it out with the same dies. I popped it on the white label and some pearls around for Ann! 

Lovely card but so simple to make. The designer paper does all the work!

Have a holly jolly day and thanks for stopping by!

A Sweet Christmas

 

This is my first card with the Sweet Gingerbread bundle. I was trying to design for both card class in November and a swap card I needed. I decided to go another route but really liked how this turned out to look like a snow globe. I have a white base and added another piece of white card stock then I blended some Coastal Cabana ink on with my blending brush and leaving some area at bottom to look like snow. I stamped the house on white card stock in Crumb Cake ink, the roof in Soft Suede ink along with the decor on the house. I stamped the door in Sweet Sorbet ink and the window in Coastal Cabana ink. The roof was actaully now stamped on the house but separately and cut with the Gingerbread House dies. I also did same with the candy on either side of the house stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink. I added a 3" circle punched out of vellum paper behind to pop all on. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink on white card stock and cut it out with the banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

Hope ou have a sweet Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

An Acorn Wreath

 

I made this fun fold card for a color challenge with my stamping group. We used Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze and Pear Pizzazz. I cut the base in Crumb Cake card stock at 4 1/4" by 11. I scored at 5 1/2" and again on one side at 2 3/4" to make the Z fold card. I added a piece of white card stock in side. I cut a strip of Pear Pizzazz card stock for the strip outside and stamped it with the leaf stamp from the Cottage Wreath set in the same color ink. I then cut a piece of white card stock with the square stitched die from the Stylish Shapes dies and then cut a square of Cajun Craze card stock for behind. I stamped the sticky wreath in Crumb Cake ink on the white square and then the leafy one in Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the acorns in Cajun Craze ink on a piece of white cards tock and cut them out with the Coutry Wreaths dies. I also cut the copper foil bow with the dies. I stamped berries in Cajun Craze around the wreath, too. 

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

Pumpkin Gift Bag

 

You can see how to make this gift bag on Pootles.co.uk here.  I used Pumpkin Pie card stock for the bag and a retired piece of DSP for the front. I cut the pumpkin from the Rustic Pumpkin dies in Pumpkin Pie card stock along with some Garden Green card stock for the stem. I tied with some green trim. I filled with candy for a friend. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend!
