Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

The Shepherd’s Care stamp set (164300) is a beautiful stamp set that has some wonderful sentiments included.

It’s easy to use for simple monochromatic cards since it has built in shading or adding color. Take a look at this first card that is stamped in Crumb Cake Classic Ink and uses just a bit of Lost Lagoon to add color to the shepherd.

Or this next card that chooses to add color to the full image.

The star and sky has been stamped using our White Craft Ink (147277) and uses a few Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220) to add some shine along with our Brushed Gold & Silver Specialty Paper (Online Exclusive 164861) is used as a mat behind the shepherd.

And now how about some fun folds? These next two cards use the sentiment as the focal point on the card front. This first card uses our Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164324) and Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) to create this fun window.

open the card and you have a second fold and the bit of Designer Series Paper you used from the front square you cut.

And for the final card today the sentiment has been layered on our Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164142) a piece of Basic White gives contrast to the Pretty Peacock card base.

A bit of our Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) has been used for the bow and a few Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems (162587) ties it all together. Open the card for a lovely surprise scene.

Simple stamping has been used along with some fussy cutting for the shepherd. And a simple slit and scoring creates the pop out to hold the image. The star shines with another bit of gold found in our accessory, Blooming Pearls (162238).

Wow, right? This set is a classic that you’ll be reaching for over and over again in your holiday project.

On a personal note I have family here for Thanksgiving week and won’t be sharing the rest of the week, but will be back next week. I hope everyone will enjoy their Thanksgiving.

Love birds and nature scenes? I love to watch the bird feeder during the winter and the variety of birds that come to enjoy the food I put out for them. Sunflower seeds, suet, the choices in bird food have really grown since I started to do this at our home. I’ve even grown some sunflowers to share. Birds are always entertaining to watch. So when I saw the Nests of Winter Suite (164072) I couldn’t resist.

Today I’m going to share some cards with you that I received in my swap highlighting this Suite. This first card uses the die to frame the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (164183). Our Stampin’ Blends were used to give the images a bold pop of color and the Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) was used to create the tag for the greeting and add a bit more texture to the card front.

And how about this next card that uses the rich Gold Mercury Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164142) and our Metallic Enamel Effects Basics (161610) to give it a rich look.

A bit of our black powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) and heat from our Heat Tool (129053) give has been used on the sentiment to make it shine against the Real Red Card front.

The birds in this set can be colored in different ways to show off your favorite birds and the Designer Series Paper can be cut out with the Winterly Tree Top Dies (164065) which is always fun for easy cards that don’t require any coloring!
