Stampin’ Up Christmas Card

Stampin’ Up Still Scenes Snow Globe Bundle

October 28, 2019

I am loving this card made with the Stampin’ Up Still Scenes Bundle and
the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper…

The gold accents in the paper, in the ribbon, and on the snow globe base make this card so elegant. I was going to add gold inside the church windows but opted for So Saffron since I knew I would get adhesive all over the foil windows!

I embossed the inside of the globe with the retired Gently Falling Embossing Folder. It is a great folder for creating snow. If you don’t have it, – it is on the Clearance Rack for $5 right now. I can not say enough how much I LOVE the Shaded Spruce Ribbon. It ties so nicely.

I used the Lakeside Dies to cut out the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set.
The font matches the font in the Still Scenes Stamp Set. I added some of the plaid DSP to the inside of the card- sorry about the blurry photo:(

Stampin’ Up God’s Peace with Spotlight

October 11, 2019

I stepped up this card with a little circle spotlighting a certain part.
Simple but gives a card a different look.

I colored the gorgeous image in the God’s Peace stamp set with my Stampin’ Blends Combo packs- Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, and Shaded Spruce. Oh, the stunning Wrapped in Plaid DSP with the gold accents is just wonderful to dress up a card!

You can see the popped up circle in this view but see how in the first photo the circle is “spot on” although this view looks like it if off but I wanted you to see the elevation of the circle:)

Stampin’ Up Toile Christmas Bundle

September 13, 2019

Have you seen the cardinal from the Stampin’ Up Toile Christmas stamp set
on page 3 of the Holiday Catalog?

I noticed that it was colored with Watercolor Pencils so I added some to my image. I stamped my cardinal in Cherry Cobbler ink on Real Red Cardstock. Then I colored the breast/belly with some Pumpkin Pie and white colored pencils. I colored the beak with Daffodil Delight colored pencil. It added just a little something to pep up the image. I plan to play around some more with this beautiful bird…

Thanks for stopping by, friends…

Product List

*I used the retired Hardwood Background stamp as my backdrop for the cardinal.
I also used a Real Red Stampin’ Blend on the berries:)

Stampin’ Up Snow Front

September 9, 2019

I pretended I was a watercolor artist over the weekend…
this is what the Stampin’ Up Snow Front stamp set helped me do:

I can’t wait to play around some more with this set…
look at all the great “clear” photopolymer stamps to design your own masterpiece:

At first, I was bummed I did not use my Stamparatus to stamp the Buffalo Check Background and it was not perfect but then thought nothing is more comfy than a well worn flannel shirt! The sentiment comes from the SU Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set. There is also a sentiment in the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set that is the same words!

I easily cut down my sentiment stitched rectangle by cutting it out with the die and then placing the die right where I wanted it to be sized. You can customize the die cut to any size you want by sliding the die over the stitches that just sink down into the die cut. I use a post it to hold it in place when I die cut to be safe:) Think of all the possible sizes you can make!!

Mountains: Crumb Cake
Cabin and Deer: Soft Suede
Pond: Balmy Blue
Trees: Garden Green

Stampin’ Up Free Skate in Blue

September 6, 2019

I just love how clean, cool, and fresh this card turned out.
The Stampin’ Up Free Skate Bundle made it super easy to make this beautiful card.
I mean, it’s Stampin’ Up that makes it easy for me to be an artist!

The soft textured background was made with the NEW Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder. You know I die cut the blue laces from the blue under the embossed panel. The silver snowflakes were die cut with the NEW Frosted Frames Dies. Aren’t the silver blades so cool?

Just a simple stamping of a sentiment and some snowflakes on the inside.
The Timeless Label Punch is the perfect size for the sentiments on the inside or outside.
I think they are interchangeable- I made another card with them switched:)
