Poinsetta Christmas



 Supplies:
Stamps: SU Cherish the Season and Rustic Crate
Paper: Gina K White and SU Soft Suede
Ink: SU Early Espresso and Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: SU Wavy Trim, Copic Markers, SU Dimensionals, SU Nature's Thoughts Dies and Rustic Crate Dies

Hello Stampers! I am back with a card that I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers: Poinsettas.  I love the Rustic Crate set, and I hadn't made a card with the poinsettas yet.  So I was excited to ink it up!  I started by stamping, die cutting, and coloring the poinsettas.  Then I stamped the crate and die cut it.  I die cut the rectangle from the SU Nature's Thoughts Dies, and stamped the sentiment.  Then I added some wavy trim, and adhered the crate to the rectangle.  To finish the front I popped up the poinsettas.  For the inside I simply stamped a sentiment and die cut it with the same rectangle from the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Rainbow Birthday Wishes

Paper: Gina K white, Silver glitter cardstock, Bazzill Vellum, SU: real red, pumpkin pie, daffodil delight, gumball green, blueberry bushel
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU: real red, pumpkin pie, daffodil delight, gumball green, blueberry bushel
Accessories: Gina K: Large circle die and Birthday Trio Dies, Brads, Pickett Fence blending brushes, Newton's Nook: Confetti Stencil

Hello Stampers!  It is Sunday and you know what that means, it is Featured Stamper Challenge Time on Splitcoaststampers.  This week's Features Stamper is Karen is this is the card I chose from her gallery:


I really liked the confetti background and the rainbow colors in the patterned paper.  So I started by stenciling on the confetti background.  Then I blended inks on white card stock and die cut the Birthday Trio dies. I got that all assembled and put it on the background and it was all just too bright.  The birthday dies blended in with the background and it was hard to see what it said.  So I got out some vellum and layered that on top and that softened my background.  I dug out some brads to adhere the vellum to the stenciled background.  Then I adhered the Happy Birthday.  For the inside I wanted to incorporate the rainbow colors from the front so I cut strips of paper and adhered them to the inside of my card.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered that to the rainbow strips.  And that completed my card!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jingle Bells






Supplies:
Stamps: SU Cherish the Season
Paper: Gina K Ivory, Simon Says Stamp: Matte Gold CS, Memory Box: Jolly Christmas 6x6 paper pad
Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: SU Sounds of the Season Dies, Simon Says Stamp Gold Embossing Powder, Gina K Master Layouts 2, SU Dimensionals, The Stamp Market: Pierced Plaid Cover Die, SU Simply Elegant Trim

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches, Sketch of the Week:
For my card I started with the focal point.  I die cut the jingle bells out of the Matte Gold cardstock.  Then I had to decide on patterned paper, embossed paper, or a cover plate paper.  I had pieces cut up and put together so many different ways!  I decided on using a cover plate for the background that complimented the pattern of the patterned paper I chose.  I had it all put together, but I felt like it needed something more.  So I decided to heat emboss a sentiment.  For the inside of the card I heat embossed the sentiment and layered it with the patterned paper and gold cardstock.  Then I saw the jingle bell stamps in the Cherish the Season stamp set, and thought that would be nice heat embossed in the bottom corner.  And that completed my card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn: Flying By and Happy Everything (inside)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Gina K white and Simon Says Stamp Fog
Accessories: Lawn Fawn Flying By Dies, SU Dimensionals

Hello Stampers!!  I'm back to share a card I made for the Freshly Made Sketches, sketch of the week:
This card turned out way different from what I had planned to do.  When I went to make the card I was going to do butterflies for the circles, but the butterflies that I had were too big.  So I started looking through my supplies, and got out my Lawn Fawn basket.  I knew there had to be something in there for this sketch.  That's when I came upon this Flying By set, and I knew that it was the perfect choice.  I cut a piece of fog cardstock and got started.  I stamped and die cut the paper airplanes, and placed them on the fog cardstock.  Then I got out my Misti and stamped the trails and the sentiment.  Next I adhered the paper airplanes onto the fog cardstock, popping up the large paper airplane.  For the inside I stamped the happy birthday and added a couple paper airplanes.  

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

Hello Stampers!  I went to a Stamp and Scrap Rummage this morning, and I just had to make a card with some of the goodies I got.  The Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoaststampers is: Word Dies, and one of the sets I got had a word die!!  So I started by die cutting the mitten, snowflake, and hat.  Then I cut three squares of kraft paper and embossed them.  I adhered the die cuts to the squares, and then I adhered the squares to the cherry cobbler strip of cardstock.  I left some room to the left to add some twine.  Then I die cut the snowflake background, and adhered it to the card base.  Next I adhered the cherry cobbler strip.  Then it was onto the word die.  I die cut snow three times and adhered them together and then to the card.  For the inside I die cut the same snowflake background, added some white cardstock matted on cherry cobbler and adhered this to the inside of the card.  I die cut another mitten and hat to embellish the inside.  And that completes this card.

Hello Stampers!  I'm back with a card that I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The theme of the challenge is: Pumpkin Everything!  I've had this Rustic Crate stamp set on my desk for awhile and I was going to put it away, and then I saw this challenge.  I love this fall arrangement, and was happy I could use it again.  To make my card I started with a square card base, and then embossed the square nestabilities die.  Next I used my Misti to stamp the focal image.  I colored in the image with Copic markers, and then die cut the hello three times and stacked them together before adhering it to my card.  To finish off the front I added some linen thread at the top with a bow.  For the inside I kept it simple, so a note could be written.  I embossed the border and stamped the sentiment, and I was done.
