Wonderland

Today and tomorrow  I thought I would share with you the cards I sent out personally for those on my Christmas card list.  Today’s card uses the Wonderland stamp set (139752) and includes these beautiful trees.

Wonderland

I wanted a soft feel of a cold winters night for this card So I chose to use the Bokeh Technique.What do you think? Do the Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonder capture that feel?

I was sad to see that it was on our Retirement List (Click HERE to see the full list from the Holiday Catalog), since it’s part of a suite that includes some wonderful coordinating accessories. I love coordinating products since it makes our time designing much easier.

While this stamp set and suite of products is on our Retirement list, they are still available to purchase while supplies last. Stamp Sets of course are guaranteed through the 28th of December. And great news, the Silver Glimmer Paper (135314) that I used is part of the Weekly Deals this week – so you can make your cards shine too at a great price! I love this stuff!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Wonderland (139752)

Inks: Wisteria Wonder (126985), Soft Sky (131181), Smoky Slate Classic Ink (131179), Whisper White Craft Ink (101731) and VersaMark (102283)

Paper: Silver Glimmer Paper (135314), Basic Black (121045), Wisteria Wonder (122922), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (133787), Silver Embossing Powder (109131), Heat Tool (129053) and Sponge Daubers (133773)

The base is 4 1/4″ x 7 3/4″. I scored it at 5 1/2″. Decorate the flap and add a coordinating panel that is 4″ x 5 1/4″ to hold your gift card and sentiment.

You could even add a Whisper White piece to sign your name on the underside of the flap if you desire. I added my gift card using a piece of our Tear & Tape. Voila!

What did I tell you quick and easy, right? And I love this little Rudolph image you can create with the Wonderland antler image!

Snow Place fun

For those of you who know me you know that the stamp set Snow Place (139738) was a must have with its cute little penguin. And the fact it comes in a money saving Bundle (140844) that includes the Snow Friends Framelit Dies (139664) never hurts!

Of course, I see this set as a winter set, or even year round since it has a penguin in it! Can’t you see this fun little guy with a laying out on a beach towel, playing basket ball or even wearing a hula skirt made of ribbon? I wiped up three the other day quickly want to see?

This first card is the traditional Christmas card. I couldn’t decide on which base color I liked the best so I tried them both!

Snow Place (4) Snow Place (3)

And this second card is pretty much the same, but I made them for my birthdays that I need the next few weeks. The sentiment from our new Suite Sayings stamp set (140709) found in our NEW Occasions Catalog works perfectly with this fun sentiment from the set!

Snow Place (6)

And my last creation is for a old High School friend, who is Jewish. I always send my Christmas letter in a winter themed card for her and thought she’d enjoy this fun quickly set of penguins. And I used the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder since I wanted a more bold design for the back ground.

Snow Place (2)

I love the sentiment I used on the inside – and simply hand wrote a little something to finish it off the way I wanted with my Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker. Don’t you like that we have matching markers option all our color families?

Snow Place (1)

I think this last design is my favorite. How about you? Which card do you like the best. Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Snow Place (139738)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink Pad (104931), Tempting Turquoise (126952) and Melon Mambo Classic Ink (126948)

Paper: Tempting Turquoise (102067), Melon Mambo  (115320), and Whisper White card stock (100730)

Accessories: Snow Friends Framelit Dies (139664), Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker, Softly Falling Embossing Folder (139672)

Dove of Peace & More

You know how it goes I had planned on starting my Christmas baking yesterday, however the weather didn’t consult me. We had a bad rain storm blow through mid morning that took out our power for a couple of hours and then problems with the internet. So I didn’t get to post yesterday.

But your in luck today things are humming along just fine – so I thought I’d share the card I had planned on showing you yesterday along with some additional one too.

Dove of Peace

I created this card using the Dove of Peace (139800) single stamp. I loved the design immediately when I saw it and knew it would look lovely teamed up with our Night of Navy and done in our Gold Embossing Powder.

Dove of Peace SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (4)

Great minds think alike, right? This next card was one I stamped at a recent team Shoebox Swap – My friend Teresa used some of the same supplies, but I think this card has a totally different feel to it. Isn’t that a wonderful part of stamping – the way things can be changed up so easily simply with the choices we make?

This next card was Maria’s Shoebox swap.

Delicate Ornament Thinlits and Oh What Fun SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (8)

I love the way the Delicate Ornament Thinlits Die (139667) was used to make the  ornament swing in the opening.

Delicate Ornament Thinlits and Oh What Fun SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (7)

And how about this card that was made with the Reason for the Season stamp set (139730) and Softly Falling Embossing Folder (139672).

Reason for the Season SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (2)

Marni used the Sparkly Seasons Bundle (140863) when she designed this card. Who doesn’t like snow globe and the childhood memories they evoke?

Sparkly Seasons SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (5)

And this next card is particularly fun with it’s belly band.

Peaceful Pines SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (9)

It uses Peaceful Pines Bundle (140850) along with the Festive Fireplace (139754) and Versatile Christmas stamp sets (140389/140392).

Peaceful Pines SINKS Shoebox swap 2015 (8)

There you go – some wonderful Shoebox swaps that I made with my SINKS sisters.

Snowplace Winter Fun

Today I’ll be sharing some more swaps that were made with one of my favorite bundles from the holiday catalog, Snowplace (139664). This stamp set has a fun chubby little penguin in it – and those of you who know me know I can’t resist a penguin!

When you combine the Snowplace stamp set (139738) with the Snow Friends Framelit Dies (139664) your options are unlimited!

Snowplace SC Holiday Swap 2015

Snowplace OnStage Tampa 2015 Swap

I’m already envisioning winter birthday cards made with this stamp set. The fun Snow Way! sentiment will work great with some of our other sentiments to create a fun birthday greeting.

And these two cards are simply elegant – but then Silhouettes such as found in the Every Blessing (138806/139919)  gives you that classic feel.

All Ye Faithful OnStage Swap Tampa 2015

And here is another set, All Ye Faithful stamp set (1396898/139901) combined with  the rich colors and classic patterns in the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (139592).

It’s a Festival of Trees!

Today’s cards all have something in common –  trees! After all who doesn’t love all the shapes, and sizes they come in this time of year?

Melanie used the Festival of Trees stamp set (135059) and the 2015-2017 In Colors to create this card, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.

Festival of trees SC Holiday Catalog Swap 2015

Did you know that the Mint Macaron Classic Ink Pad (138326) is part of the Weekly Deals? So not only can you get this lovely soft color but you can get it at a great deal! You’ll want to check out the coordinating 1″ Dotted Trim too (138424) that was used on this card it ties lovely.

These next three cards all have the Tree Punch (135859) in common along with either the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (138450) or the 6×6 stack option (139595) found in the Holiday Catalog.  Isn’t it great that Stampin’ Up! give us two choices depending on how we like to craft?

Six Sayings SC Holiday Catalog Swap 2015

This first card that was given to me by Sandy uses the Hostess Set, Six Sayings (139849/139852) if you haven’t seen it you’ll want to take a look since it’s a lovely set that covers all our fall occasions – and the font is just lovely I think. Great news – you can still earn this set too. Contact me today to host a party with me or place an order so you can earn it now!

And can you see texture from the Softly Falling Embossing Folder (139672) and Dazzling Details (124117)? I love this stuff since it adds some sparkle that stays put!
