Glittered Winter Woods

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would revisit the festive stamp sets in the Annual catalogue for today’s project.

The trees were stamped with Early Espresso Ink onto a Very Vanilla card layer.

Dabs of glue were added to the image which were covered with Ice Glitter. The excess was was tapped off and allowed to dry before adhering to a Crumb Cake card base.

The sentiment was heat embossed with gold powder and added below the trees with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Toile Tidings

Hello Everyone,

It seems that we are already hurtling through November so during this busy period quick cards are the order of the day.

These feature the Toile Tidings papers in traditional Real Red and, Garden Green.

The card base was made the coordinating card stock colour.

The Designer Series Paper was layered on to a Very Vanilla card layer and then to the card base with snail adhesive.

I picked out a, sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Matching ink was used to stamp on to Whisper White card stock in contrast to the Vanilla.

The sentiment was cut with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch and adhered to a 2-1/4 inch circle of vellum. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

A bow was tied from matching ribbon and secured with glue dots.

This is the Garden Green version. On this card I moved the sentiment to the side and added some metallic pearls.

Pacific Point was added next along the top, then Highland Heather along the bottom.

The deer and sentiment were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Shimmer Black powder.

A Stitched Rectangle Die was used to cut the panel. This, was adhered to a card base that had been stamped with snowflakes in Silvery Shimmer Ink.

Inspire.Create #054

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

This challenge was the perfect excuse to use the Christmas Layers Die.

I originally thought I would use white on white but the detail didn’t shine as much as I wanted.

Instead I chose a super bright background and sponged the card stock with Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment was also stamped with Melon Mambo Ink.

Stitched Rectangles dies were used to cut the sentiment and some vellum.

These were adhered with dimensionals and embellished with Melon Mambo glitter enamel dots.

The border stamps from the Christmas Countdown set were stamped across a Whisper White card layer using Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler inks. A grid mat helps to keep everything straight.

Mixed Metallics

Hello Everyone,

Something non traditional for Christmas…. What about this? And it couldn’t be easier to make.

No card layers were used for this one, so I used the Stamparatus just in case the images didn’t stamp well the first time.

I actually positioned the sentiment first, inking this with Golden Glitz pigment ink.

The trees were stamped with Silvery Shimmer pigment ink – this definately benefitted from a second layer of ink.

And that is it! Nothing else added… Of course, that doesn’t stop you adding whatever embellishments you like!

The coordinating dies were used to cut the image.

Comfort and Joy

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using this stunning wreath from the Tidings All Around stamp set.

Shaded Spruce Ink was used to stamp the wreath which was then die cut.

Before adhering the wreath to the card, two of the additional sprigs were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink.

Golden Glitz ink was used to add the sentiment.

Every wreath needs a bow, so I used the Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie a bow which was secured with a glue dot.

No Sentiment Required

Hello Everyone,

Beauty & Joy is a stamp set that is easily overlooked in the Autumn Winter catalogue. I love this set!

I kept the card simple. The tree was stamped on to Whisper White card stock starting with the pot using Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Garden Green inks.

The image was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle and layered on to a Merry Merlot Stitched Rectangle.

A card base was made with Merry Merlot card stock. A Whisper White card layer was stamped with the tiny dots in the set using Crumb Cake ink.

The topper was added with dimensionals. I decided not to add a sentiment, so the image remained the focal point of the card.
