Deck the Halls

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!

Today's card share is made using the sketch this week at  Freshly Made Sketches.

I have been wanting to use this sentiment from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set for

awhile. I played with a few ideas with the holly but in the end decided to make a Holly and Pinecone Swag.

I stamped several image of the holly with berries onto some thick whisper white card stock with Black Stazon ink. I colored using my Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Garden Green and

Real Red ink pads.

I then fussy cut them all out. and sit them aside.

 

I stamped the sentiment with Black Memento ink and then ran the Crumb Cake piece through my Big Shot with he Subtle EF. 

I played around with arranging my holly leaves for awhile to get a look I was happy with.

I then glued hem togeher and added the holly leaves to the Crumb Cake panel with dimensionals.

I used the pine cone dies in the Beautiful Boughs dies, using Early Espresso and Crumb Cake card stock. I glued the two layers together and added to he card with more dimensionals.

My tilted panel behind the Crumb Cake is Real Red card stock.

The base of the card is Early Espresso and the Real Red/Crumb Cake panel is added to the base with dimensionals.

 

I finished up with a twine bow and a few Red Rhinestones.

My DSP on here comes from the Toile Tidings DSP pack.

and the sentiment is from the So many Stars set.

I used linen thread to "hang" my ornaments and added bows as well.

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the color challenge this week at 

The Paper Players.

I took a couple of runs at this color combo before coming up with a 

card I liked.

I wanted to do a Christmas card and these colors are not traditional

colors for Christmas which is why it took me a couple of goes at it.

But in the end I like the result, the Crumb Cake almost looks like gold or

that is my story!!! LOL!!

 

I used the Brightly Gleaming stamp set and matching punches. 

The DSP is from the Feels like Frost

6 x 6 pack.

I stamped the ornaments with Versmark on Water color paper and embossed with

Silver Embossing Powder.

I colored with my Aqua Painter and  Seaside Spray and Crumb Cake ink pads.

I die cut a Rectangle using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and a piece of Watercolor paper.

You certainly would not need to use watercolor paper for his background piece, I just liked the

texture.

I added the ornaments to the BG piece with dimensionals

I die cute a stitched Scallop strip using Crumb Cake card stock for the edge of the rectangle using a die from the Be Mine dies.

I added the strings using a silver Sharpie marker and the silver string bows are made

with some twine I had in my stash.

The sentiment is stamped with Crumb Cake ink.

Merry Christmas Ornaments

 

Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today's card share is made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches:

I pulled out my Christmas Gleaming Bundle for this card.

I have not played with this set much since getting it, I love that it has matching punches.

 

I stamped the ornaments using Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler ink. 

Used the matching punch to punch it out.

I stamped the two Holly/Berries with Black Stazon ink onto thick Very Vanilla cardstock. I colored with my Aqua Painter and ink pads. I used Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler inks.

I fussy cut these out.

I die cut a square of Very Vanilla using the Stitched Shapes Dies to mount the ornaments onto.

I die cut a piece of DSP from the Brightly Gleaming Pack with the same Stitched Square Die.

The ornaments and Holly are added to the square with dimensionals.

I used a stamp from the same set as the ornaments to add the fancy filigree  across the bottom edge.

I used my Stamparatus and Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of thick Very Vanilla

card stock.

I then ran this piece through my Big Shot using the Subtle EF.

I matted it with some Mossy Meadow card stock before adding to the Very Vanilla base.

 

 The sentiment is also from the same set and is stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink and fussy cut out. I added it to the card with a few dimensionals

 I added some sparkly to my Holly and Berries using my Wink of Stella pen.

I finished up my card with a few rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack.

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Today's card share features the Snow Front stamp set.

This set is so cute I love that little snowman!! 

I have had a hard time getting into the Christmas cards this year,

I bought several sets during the demo pre-order and even a few more since the catalog went live and I

have yet to use them much.

I am such a seasonal stamper and I think it is just still

too hot for me to really be in the swing of Christmas card making, but I will get there.

This is one of the few sets I have played with a bit.

I stamped the little scene on thick whisper white, and my sentiment comes 

from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.

I added it using Real Red for a pop of color!

 

I matted this piece with some real red card stock.

The base of my card is Crumb Cake card stock and the DSP on here

is from the Let It Snow Specialty  pack.

I think this is a perfect little country Christmas card, it definitely 

give off that vibe.

 

A  few little red rhinestones finishes it up.

Listed below are all the "ingredients" used to make this card.
