Hello Stampers!  I made this card using Freshly Made Sketches sketch of the week.

I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and go with a fall theme for this card.  I started by blending my background.  Then I used my Misti to stamp the silhouette image.  I matted this blended piece with black cardstock.  For the sentiment I stamped and die cut it, and attached it to the card.  To separate the focal image from the sentiment I added some gold twine.  And then I added some sparkle to my focal image by adding some gold sparkly gems to finish the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's Featured Stamper is Gerry and this is the card I chose to CASE.

I kept the layout the same I just flip flopped it because my stocking was going the opposite way.  To make this card I got all of my layers cut out, and glued on the paper strips.  I heat embossed and die cut my stocking, and adhered it to the card.  I added a double linen thread bow to the stocking and stamped the sentiment.   

That's all for now, thank you for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!!  I made this card for the Paper Players Challenge: Ho! Ho! Ho! feature a Santa on your project.  To make this card I started with a Kraft top folding card base.  Then I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler and die cut it with the Twirling Flurries cover plate.  After I did this I noticed that there were some small circles cut out, so I put a piece of white cardstock behind the Cherry Cobbler.  For the focal image I stamped my Santa and die cut it with the double stitched rectangle.  Then I used a stitched snowflake and partial die cut these in opposite corners.  Next I colored in my Santa with Prisma Colored pencils and blended it with Gamsol, and die cut a rectangle from Kraft paper to frame it.  Adding my ribbon treatment was next.  I added the gingham around the card, and added a linen thread double bow.  To complete the card I adhered the Santa with dimensionals to the Cherry Cobbler panel, and then the Cherry Cobbler panel to the card base.

Believe

 Supplies: Stamps: unknown  Ink: VersaMark, VersaFine Clair Nocturne, Distress Inks: Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet Paper: Gina K Heavy Base Weight White, Hero Arts Pitch Black Accessories: 5/8 inch circle punch, masking paper, Stampin' Up twine, Memory Box Country Landscape, blending brushes, Brutus Monroe Alabaster White Embossing Powder

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Featured Stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's featured stamper is Pat, and this is the card I chose from her gallery to CASE.

To make my card I started with at 4.25x4.25 card base, because my elements were smaller than the featured stamper's card.  Next I cut a piece of white card stock to 4x4.  After this I die cut the country landscape out of black and laid it down on the 4x4 piece of cardstock.  I lightly traced the country landscape so I knew where to start blending the purple.  Before blending I cut out a circle for the moon and placed it on the 4x4 piece of card stock.  I started blending at the bottom with the purple and then blended a couple of blue shades for the night sky.  I blended lightly around the moon so there would be a glow around the moon.  After I was done blending a splattered some water onto the blended areas.  I let this dry while I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white.  I adhered the the landscape to the focal panel and added some black and white twine. Then I used my Stamp a ma Jig to stamp the flying Santa.  To finish the card I adhered the focal panel to the card base.  

That's all for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Happy Holidays

Supplies: Stamps: Stampin' Up Itty Bitty Christmas  Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black  Paper: PaperCut Sno Cone and Gina K Heavy Base Weight White  Accessories: Stampin' Up Linen Thread, My Favorite Things Die-namics Snowdrifts Gina K Master Layouts 3, Essentials by Ellen Alpine Snowfall, Impression Obsession Dies: DIE117-C and DIE079-U, Waffle Flower Additional A2 Layers, Simon Says Stamp Birch Circle

Hello Stampers!  For today's card I participated it two challenges.  The first one is the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  For the two elements on the upper left I used cardinals, and for the element on the bottom right I used a deer.  And the second challenge is the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  I found the color palette below to use on my card.  

As I was making this card I felt like I kept adding more and more die cuts! LOL!  I knew I wanted the cardinals, birch circle, and deer as the elements, but as I started putting it together I realized that the deer needed some snow to be standing on, there should be a sky colored background, and then I thought the sky should have some snowflakes!    

So to make the card I decided to start with the birch circle.  I die cut it and then used the A2 die to cut it out.  Next I die cut the snow drift and adhered to to the back of the birch circle.  Then I die cut the alpine snowfall and adhered it behind the birch circle.  Next I added the cardinals, deer, and sentiment.  Before I adhered the focal panel to the card base I added some linen thread and a bow to finish my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
