Peaceful Cabin

Winter wonderland and scenes of snow bring me back to my childhood and waiting for that first snow of the season in Wisconsin. That’s the memories that the Peaceful Cabin Bundle (156816) evoke. This Peaceful Place Suite (156277) with it’s coordinating dies, paper and embellishments can be used to build all kinds of winter scenes.

The beautiful Peaceful Place Specialty Paper (156394) with it’s foiling is wonderful to create with too. Done in shades of Basic Black and Gray, Smoky Slate and Silver Foiling is simply elegant.

Check out this first card using the snowflake pattern as a back drop.

And this next card uses the stamps and dies to create this peaceful scene.

The Misty Midnight back drop is wonderful and gives it a very soothing feel don’t you think?

More Christmas Season fun

The other day I shared with you some projects using the products from the Painted Christmas Suite (156274), and so today I thought you’d enjoy a seeing a few more. These cards are fairly quick and simple to recreate making them a great choice for your stamping needs during the upcoming holiday season.

The first card uses a soft and lovely pallet filled with different shades of greens

Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Pear Pizzazz Classic Inks have been used to stamp the images and sentiment. Texture has then been added with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (152718), Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (155780) and Opal Rounds (154289), and if you like a more traditional feel check out this next card using the beautiful pinecone pattern from the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (156292).

The little Gold Holly Leaves (156311) add a lovely bit of glimmer behind the pine cones. I hope you can see the pine cones that have been cut from the Gold Shimmer Vellum (156471). This Shimmer Vellum is simply lovely.

And speaking of shimmer, check out this beautifully rich Cherry Cobbler & Gold Metallic Ribbon (156312) that was used for this card. Last but not least a simple panel card.

Not only have the lovely Gold Leaves and Ribbon have been used to add texture and shine but check out the Wonderful Gems (153536) that were used for the berries. Their gold flecking adds to the fun of this card and mimics the berries in the Designer Series Paper chosen as a backdrop.

Fun with my Team & More

Have you ever thought about crafting with a group of friends who love stamping as much as you do? I get to do this every month with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers. We gather, share, and stamp together. The friends I’ve met through stamping is one of the best things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

My Team gathered this week to stamp together and share. So today I thought I’d share some of the project they brought as swaps. I always love to see what everyone is stamping and the different styles of stamping to. This months theme was Christmas Cards.

This first card was stamped with the Evergreen Elegance Stamp set (153313) and it’s coordinating Evergreen Border Punch (153603).

It uses not only the lovely Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (156292) but also the In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616). A bit of texture was added with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431). And for a final bit of shine our Champagne Rhinestone Jewels (151193). And this next card uses the Christmas Season Bundle (156801).

A bit of our Red Velvet (153490) has been cut with the Seasonal Label Dies (156299) as a back drop on the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper background (155718), and our Gilded Gems (152478) add not only shine but texture too.

This lovely basket of poinsettias is from our Season’s Blessings Bundle (155485). The Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718) adds some interest along with he Star Crossed Embossing Folder (156567). You’ll want to check out the Season’s Blessing Stamp set it’s not just for Christmas but has lots of fun images for year round crafting. This next card uses the Stars are Shinning stamp set (156345) and Punch (156380).

Done in Sahara Sand and Basic White it’s a great way to create. And finally this wonderful card for the avid crafter using the Merriest Moments Bundle (156353).

This bundle has not only the dies but a Embossing folder also, giving the die cut image wonderful texture. A simple technique using the Stampin’ Write Markers were used to create the two color sentiment on the front.

And of course everyone loves a quick and simple 3D gift item for the holidays, right?

This little treat was created using our Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper (156313) and a bit of our Real Red Ruffled Ribbon (156323).
