Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday!  I have missed a few these past couple of weeks.  This is the card that I CASED:

For my card I started with the focal image.  I stamped, die cut, and then colored my image with Copic markers.  I matted it with a cherry cobbler circle.  Next I cut a panel out of the DSP and matted it with cherry cobbler.  Then I wrapped some crumb cake bakers twine around that panel three times, and I adhered a double bow on it.  I adhered this panel to my crumb cake card base, and then popped up the cardinal with dimensionals.  To finish the front I die cut the sentiment and adhered it to the card base.  For the inside I replicated the same panel as the front and added a sentiment on a circle die cut matted with cherry cobbler.

Hello Stampers!  I went for a bright candy cane card this time.  My favorite color is lime green, so I had to try one with lime green candy canes.  To start the card I found a circle die cut that would frame one of the circles in the dotted circles embossing folder.  After I die cut the cirlce I embossed it.  Then I found a circle die cut to mat it with poppy parade card stock.  Next I stamped and die cut the candy canes, and popped them up onto the circle.  I found some Doodle bug twine in my stash it is red and white with green glitter thread in it.  So I used that to embellish the candy canes.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and adhered it to the circle.  I added dimensionals to each side and used tape runner in the middle to pop it up.  To finish the front I added a 4x4 inch square to a 4.25x4.25 card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, matted it in poppy parade, and adhered it to the inside of the card.

Hello Stampers!  Another candy cane card here.  For this one I did get some inspiration from this card on Pinterest:

For my card I started by finding some swiss dot patterned paper.  From there I found some red cardstock and ink to match.  I stamped and die cut the candy canes.  Then I embossed the snowflakes on the white layer.  For the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment and used the same ribbon as hers.  And then it was just a matter of adhering everything together.  When I was done I thought the candy canes needed a bow.  So I happened to have one on my desk from a different card and adhered it to the card.  For the inside I embossed a strip of white cardstock and matted it with poppy parade, and stamped the sentiment.

Shiny Candy Cane Card

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin Up Holly Jolly, Holly Berry Happiness

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Gina K White, Bazzill Red, Recollections 6x6 Peppermint Stripe Paper Pad

Accessories: Stampin' Up Sweet Candy Cane Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies, Jolly Holly Dies, Sounds of the Season Dies, May Arts Twine, Packaging Tape, and Copic Markers

Hello Stampers!  I made yet another card with the candy canes.  My Mom showed me how to use packaging tape to give the candy canes shine like a real candy cane.  Simply adhere packaging tape to the paper you are cutting out your candy cane from, and then die cut it.  Worked like a charm.  So then I went digging to look for a frame for the candy canes, and found the Scalloped Contours Dies.  They fit perfectly.  I embellished them with a twine bow and a silver jingle bell.  Then I need to create the base.  I cut out a red card base and then adhered a layer of the peppermint paper on top.  To finish the front I added my focal panel to the card base.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment, die cut it, and adhered it to the inside.  I embellished it with some holly.  I had made these to embellish the candy cane, but they didn't work out.

Paper: Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Authentique Christmastime 6x6 paper pad

Accessories: Stampin' Up Sweet Candy Canes Dies, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips Dies, May Arts Twine

Hello Stampers!  Yet another candy cane card!  For this one I used the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I started by picking out some patterned paper.  After I cut it into a square layer, I inked up the edges to give it an even more distressed look.  Then I adhered it to my cherry cobbler card base.  Next I cut out a very vanilla square and inked up the edges as well, and matted it with cherry cobbler cardstock.  Next up were the candy canes.  I originally stamped them in cherry cobbler, but they were so dark being on the very vanilla cardstock they looked black.  So I tried it with real red ink and that was a closer match to the patterned paper.  So I stamped and die cut the candy canes, and then I inked up the edges of the candy canes as well to keep the distressed look.  I adhered them together, added a twine bow, and adhered them to the square.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, inked up the edges, and popped it up over the candy canes.  For the inside, I embellished it with some of the patterned paper and added a sentiment.  I inked up all of the edges to finish the inside.

Hello Stampers!  While I had this Candy Cane set out, I decided to make another card with it.  For this card I started with the tag.  I die cut the two layers and adhered them together.  Next I stamped and die cut the candy canes, adhered them to the tag, and added a bow.  To embellish the tag a bit more I stamped the greenery, die cut them, and adhered them to the back of the tag.  To finish the tag I tied on some of the stitched ribbon at the top of the tag.  For the background to this card I started with a Real Red card base.  Next I die cut to A2 layers, one of which I die cut using the background die.  I adhered these two layers together and then adhered them to the red card base.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment, and adhered it to the scalloped mat.  I stamped and die cut more of the greenery to adhere behind the sentiment.  And that completes this card! :)

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  The challenge was to use something on your desk.  I happened to have the Sweet Candy Canes set on my desk, because I am borrowing it from my Mom.  For my card I stamped and die cut the candy canes.  I embellished the candy canes with dies from the Sounds of Seasons set and a bow from May Arts twine.  I popped this up onto a white layer and matted the white layer with real red cardstock.  Behind the focal image I have two strips of real red cardstock that I embossed and inked up with white craft ink so you could see the candy canes. I arranged and adhered the pieces to the card, and then stamped the senitment.  For the inside I hand a strip of the embossed candy cane cardstock, so I adhered that inside with a sentiment.  And that completes my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday over at Splitcoaststampers!  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I used a cardinal image as well and colored it in with Copic markers.  I die cut and embossed the focal image with a Spellbinders circle die.  Then I die cut a cherry cobbler frame for the focal image.  Next I picked out some patterned paper and matted it with cherry cobbler cardstock.  I added some twine and stamped and punched out the sentiment with a tag punch.  I did have to trim off the bottom of the tag as it was too long for the sentiment.  To finish the front of the card, I simply adhered the pieces to the card base.  For the inside I cut a piece of the patterned paper and matted it in evening evergreen.  Then I stamped and die cut the sentiment and matted it in cherry cobbler cardstock.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight Ribbon, Peace on Earth Dies, Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder

Hello Stampers!  Guess what!!!  I found my embossing folder.  It turns out that when I ran it through my die cut machine it warped my folder a bit.  So I put it under something heavy to see if it would flatten out!  So since I found it I just had to use it!!  I started out by embossing a layer on the misty moonlight 2 tone cardstock.  Then I sanded the embossed image to bring the white through.  I next added the ribbon.  For the sentiment I stamped it to the right side of the die cut so there would be room for the dove.  I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals and then popped up a silver dove as well.  Lastly I adhered this to the white card base.  For the inside I used the same label dies and stamped the sentiment and matted it.  I also adhered a silver dove to the inside as well.  

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

Hello Stampers!  Have you ever misplaced one of your craft supplies?  I had an idea for the featured stamper challenge today and I could not find the embossing folder I wanted to use.  I looked EVERYWHERE!  I spent at least an hour looking in places where I thought it might be and no luck.  I'm so frustrated, I still haven't found it.  I'm sure I'll find it when I am least expecting to.  Needless to say I went a different route for my card design today.  Here is the card from the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.

For my card I started by stamping my focal image and die cutting it.  Then I used the Lawn Fawn border dies to ground my images.  After this I colored in my image with Copic markers, and glued on some mini snowflakes.  I matted the focal image in red.  From here I picked out some DSP and cut it out, and added a ribbon.  I adhered this layer to my 4.25x4.25 card base.  Then to finish the card I popped up my focal image in the center.  I kept the inside simple today.

That's all for now, thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  Here is the sketch:

For my card I started with the Santa die cut.  First I cut out a piece of cherry cobbler cardstock, and then ran it through the die cut machine leaving an even border around the Santa.  Next I cut a piece of the snowflake paper slightly smaller than my cherry cobbler rectangle, and adhered the Santa to it.  Then I went on a hunt for a sentiment that would fit the space.  I found this Merry Christmas, stamped it and die cut it.  Next I cut the background layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder, and matted it in cherry cobbler.  Then all I had to do was adhere everything down onto the white card base.  For the inside I stamped my sentiment and added some stars.

Hello Stampers!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  It is a dreary rainy turning into snowy day.  So it is a great day to hang out in the craft room!  I bought this Whipper Snapper set recently and didn't get a chance to use it.  The Featured Stamper Challenge gave me some inspiration to use it.  Here is the card I am CASEing:

I started with the focal image for this card, I stamped, die cut, and colored in the image.  Then I matted it in black.  The original card used a plaid patterned paper, so I found a plaid patterned paper to use on mine as well and matted it in black.  Then I adhered it to a red card base.  For the inside I stamped a sentiment, die cut it, and then matted it in black to finish the card.  Definitely a quick and easy card, but as always takes me forever to complete it. LOL!

Hello Stampers!  Long time, no stamp!  Tis the season to be busy!  I saw the

sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches, and I thought of this die right away.  To start my card I cut my card base and layers.  Then I die cut the evergreen circle out of the top layer.  Next I cut a layer slightly smaller than the top layer and embossed it with the snowflake sky embossing folder.  I adhered this to the back of the front layer.  After this I assembled Rudolph and tucked him in the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Then I die cut the Christmas lights in white and used my copic markers to color them red, and I used a silver pen to add detail to the top of the lights.  I adhered this to the bottom of the evergreen circle.  Next I stamped the sentiment, die cut the banner, and adhered it to the card.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and embellished it with the same string of lights from the front.

That's all for now!!  Have a great week!!

Hello Stampers!!  I'm here to share a Christmas card that I made using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP.  I followed a tutorial but made mine an A2 size card instead of a 5x7 card.  Here is the video tutorial I was inspired by.  Making a 4 Panel Card.  I made into an A2 card, here are the measurements if you want to try it.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/8 x 3 5/8, and cut the four panels by cutting every 1 1/8 inches.  To mat this cut a piece of cardstock 4 15/16 x 3 3/4 inches.  This was a fun card to make and a great way to use your patterned paper!!
