Radiant Light & More

Posted on by

Today’s card reminds me of my childhood. Isn’t it amazing how easily the sights and smells of the holiday come back to us with a simple image?

My mom always had a yule log in our home. She used a piece of birch tree from the yard with gold candle holders along the top. Every year she nailed pine boughs on the sides that were trimmed off the bottom of our Christmas tree. Long white tapers were placed in each one of those holders and they dripped down the tappers to cover the top over when they were lit.

The Radiant Light stamp set (162111) has simple sketched images that are quick and easy to color and wonderful sentiments for the holidays. This card uses traditional holiday colors of Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and color has been added using our Stampin’ Blends. And can you see the lovely shine on the candles? Our Clear Wink of Stella (141897) adds a lovely iridescent shine to the candles themselves.

Love candles? How about this birthday card created with the So Sincere Stamp set (162283).

This all occasions stamp set has the fun vertical Happy Birthday sentiment that works perfectly for this card.

Fun right? This bright colorful card uses our Azure Afternoon, Tahitian Tide, and Parakeet Party for a bright cheerful look perfect for anyone and all ages. The Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder (161545) has been inked up with the Tahitian Tide and through through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss to create an lovely background and of course the Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) and Adhesive Backed Glitter Sequins (162029). The fun little flames from the Beautiful Balloons Dies (161456) also have a bit of shine from the Clear Wink of Stella (141897).

Hello Kiwi

Posted on by

Kiwi, do you remember the first time you had one of these funny little fruits? It’s not one that I grew up with and wasn’t very sure about it in the beginning. While I enjoyed them when I was out, they were a lot of work to cut, but now that I know how to peel them and get them out of their skins easily I enjoy them frequently. Have you tried the gold ones? Yum.

Today’s cards use the Hello Kiwi stamp set (161258) and focus on these sweet little tropical fruits. The images have been teamed up with the birthday sentiment.

This first card uses our bright cheerful In Colors Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. They have been stamped and then some texture was added with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317). For a bit of shine the Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) was added.

This next card uses the stripe and splatter patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (161640). The kiwi were stamped using the Lemon Lime Twist Classic Ink this time and the Bubble Bath sentiment layer was popped up to add some depth.

A Bit of white Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) adds a bit of interest too.

So what do you think? Want to check out this fun little stamp set and add it to your collection? Why not stop by my Online store and see these products and more?

Freezin’ Fun

Posted on by

Winter isn’t winter without some fun freezing in the snow. Or at least that is how I felt as a child growing up in Wisconsin. That first snowfall was always so much fun! Childhood memories or being wrapped up tight with my scarf. There were times I was so bundled up to go out and play I waddled out the door. And as a teen I got to learn how to ski with friends on school field trips to Little Switz. Ahh… the memories cool noses and toes. So the Freezin’ Fun stamp set immediately spoke to me when I saw it.

After all who can resist these cute little animal images? And these images are perfect for coloring a number of ways too. While all these cards use our Stampin’ Blends for a fun bold color you can also you aqua painters or Blender Pens with our Classic Ink too for a softer look.

Want to see some cards? Here are 3 great cards using this set. This first one is done in Seaside Spray and Pacific Point.

The little racoon is cut out with the Freezin’ Friends Dies (153561) and has our lovely 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon (150446) from the Annual Catalog along with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646) for texture.

And this next card uses the money saving Freezin’ Fun Bundle (155176) to create this wonderful winter ski scene.

And finally this last card creates a wonderful winter scene using the fun shadow box card technique.

I can’t pick a favorite. Can you? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which one you like best?

If you like this stamp set as much as I do, why not check out my upcoming class? It’s a fun class where we’ll be making some holiday treats and gift items. You can find more information on my Calendar of Events HERE.
