Sparkling Snowflake Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card is quick and easy and contains a bit of shine too making it perfect for the holiday season.

This type of card is a favorite layout of mine since its great for making in large quantities as it’s a quick and easy layout. I’m using the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set (162158) which is using a favorite winter image of mine – snowflakes! I can’t seem to resist a snowflake set lol.

I’ve teamed this image up with the lovely winter pattern from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (162015) as it reminds me of those warm winter sweaters I had as a child and it’s got shades of blue too!

Check out this quick and easy card in my Video Tutorial

And of course if you want to make one too here is my PDF with the video link, complete supply list, measurements and step by step instructions. Making it easy to create when you are ready.

Rustic Crate for the holidays

Posted on by

What do you think of when you think of the holidays? For me one of the things is poinsettias, since every year they were a gift to family and friends and decorated our house and the local mall. Remember the poinsettia trees of the 70’s? So the Rustic Crate Bundle (162268) brings back those childhood memories of that bold pop of red again the cold snowy landscapes.

And of course, Frosty and the green house that contained those exotic plants, the poinsettia. lol

Today’s cards use the poinsettia to create lovely cards. This first one has a traditional feel with its Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler color palet.

The lovely gingham check is from our Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (161958). Don’t you love how these dies both cut and emboss their image? And the handle on the crate is a bit of our Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim (161517). A bit of shine was added behind the crate with the Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (159082). And this next card has a bit more contemporary feel to it since it uses the lovely Moody Mauve and Blackberry Bliss.

Once again a little shine has been added with the Simply Elegant Trim (155766) and interest has been added to the background with a bit of our Blending Brushes and splatter using our Water Painters (151298). Adding splatter like this is quick and easy to do simply pick up some diluted reinker and tap against your finger until you get the look you like. With a little bit of practice you can create different size splatter for your projects.

Enjoy! And don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you using the Sparkling Snowflake Stamp set.

The Joy of Christmas

Posted on by

Have you seen the Joy of Christmas Suite (161983)? This Suite is filled with two wonderful bundles, the Joy of Noel Bundle (161967) and the Christmas Classics Bundle (161977).

It also has some great coordinating products to create with too! Check out today’s card using this suite of products. This first card uses simple stamping to create a lovely holiday card.

The holly has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (161700)/Watercolor Pencils Asst 2 (149014) and a bit of the Metallic Enamel Effects (161610) has been used to add a bit of shimmer. I just love the way that the Wild Wheat Classic Ink gives the first impression of gold embossing!

And this next card uses the Joy of Noel Dies (161965) and our Loose Holly Gems & Sequins (161981) to continue the feel of music that the noel sentiment brings and works well with the Gold Foil Sheets (132622) used for the letters.

A couple of pieces of the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (161958) pulls it all together.

And how about this last card? Done in Garden Green, gold, and Basic White?

The Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) has been used for the backdrop along with the Christmas Classics Die Cuts (161976) that creates the sentiment from the Christmas Classics stamp set (161970) focal point. Add a bit of the More Dazzle Specialty Paper (161749) behind it and you’ve got a lovely traditional card.

So what do you think about the Joy of Christmas Suite? Like one bundle better than the other? Or do you love them both? I just love how Stampin’ Up! gives us tons of creating choices and options. And since our products work so well together it makes creating so easy too!

Light the Sky

Posted on by

Do you like to send New Years cards during the holidays rather than Christmas cards? If so the Light the Sky stamp Bundle (162296) might be a great choice.

The Light the Sky stamp set (162289) has some great all occasions sentiment too that can be used year round. Check out these cards that I received using this bundle of products.

This first card uses the Light the Sky Dies (162295) to create a negative image that is backed with our Gold Foil Sheets (132622). Quick and easy to do the Night of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon (162011) carries the festive gold look and draws your eye to the sentiment.

This next card uses heat embossing and our Metallic Embossing Powders (155555)

A bit of Simply Elegant Trim (155766) is looped beneath the sentiment that has been heat embossed using the white embossing powder from the Basic Embossing Powders (155554).

Imagine this set using patriotic colors for summer or fun colors to recreate the colors of fireworks that are your favorite!

Graceful Deer

Posted on by

Quick and simple. That’s what the Graceful Deer Background Stamp (162084) means to me. One of the great things about big stamps like this is it’s a ready made card front. Just add sentiment of your choice and go!

I’m sure like me, you have a lot of memories of scenes like this. Just yesterday I saw a couple of deer somewhere I didn’t expect. Thankfully, I was luck and they didn’t dart out in the road. Here in my neck of the woods deer are a common sight along the road and in our yards. They tend to enjoy “pruning” our bushes when it’s a harsh winter.

Today’s card is done in shades of copper.

Copper Clay has been used for the card base and for a softer look Very Vanilla has been chosen. The stamped image has been heat embossed using the Metallic Embossing Powders (155555) and the sentiment has been die cut and a fun little Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627) adds a bit of texture and shine.

A lovely little thank you card for this fall or winter don’t you think?
