Banner Year & More

Today’s cards all have one thing in common, Designer Series Paper. While they all use different stamp sets for sentiments they put our beautiful paper on display.

Check out these first two cards using the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (152486).

This first card uses the Banner Year Stamp Set (153464), Banner Pick a Punch (153608), and Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch (152709). Done with some simple stamping too this card uses Just Jade and Poppy Parade to send a bit of holiday cheer. The card has lots of texture too since the background has been embossed with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (152702).

And how about this next card that teams up that same Designer Series Paper pattern with the Toile Christmas stamp set (150469) and Cardinal Christmas dies (150640)?

I love the way the Red Rhinestone Jewels (146924), have been used on the holly branch for a bit of shine. And can you name that lovely delicate die used as a back drop for the sentiment? If you name the Ornate Layers Dies (152726) they your absolutely right!

And finally a fun gate fold card using our beautiful Feels like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper () and the Perfect Plaid Stamp set (149418) and Stitched Nested Labels Dies (149638).

Talk about shine! It also uses some of the lovely Blue Adhesive Backed Gems (153547).

And check out the little surprise this card has inside as you open it, making it extra special.

Toile Christmas & More

Cardinals. I love watching these birds with their bright pops of red dotting my yard and feeder. The Toile Christmas stamp set features the cardinal and is a lot of fun to color. Since it is a sketched image you’ve got lots of choices for coloring.

Check out these cards the first one has been done using our Stampin’ Blends for a bold image and

this next card uses our Water Color Pencils for a more subtle look.

And how about some more cards? These next cards use the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the coordinating Pine Tree Punch making cards quick and easy!

The Still Scenes stamp set was used to create this lovely winter scene.

And the last card I’ll be sharing with you today is a fun fold card that highlights the Rustic Retreat stamp set. The sentiment piece locks the house panel closed and keep it in place.

This set has some wonderful all occasions sentiments in addition to the Christmas one you see here.

Enjoy!

Toile Christmas Card Tutorial

Today’s card is one that I designed for my Team Retreat Shoe Box Swap and it was inspired by the card in the Holiday Catalog. Just goes to show, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you can just change it up a bit. This is what we call a CASE, or copy and share everything! lol

Inspiration can come from all places it doesn’t have to be just another card – color and patterns are all around us in our everyday lives. My daughter is always rolling her eyes at me when we are out shopping and I say “look there are flowers done in Terracotta Tile or like her dress years ago Calypso Coral! I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! keeps up with our color trends.

Here is the card – I just love cardinals so this was a set I just HAD to have!

I wanted a bold cardinal so for this project I used our Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends after paying around with the Watercolor Pencils and the Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink. The Disinktive stamp make this so easy to color since the shading is already there for you. You can see just how fast this card was to color with the Blends in my video.
