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.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Warm Wishes

Hello Everyone,

I have had this idea in my head for a while, finally it is made a reality.

The card uses the Rustic Retreat stamp set which I fear has been a little overlooked but I love it.

My card base was made with Crumb Cake card stock. The pine bough image was used to embellish the background using Early Espresso ink.

The topper panel was stamped with the treeline image with Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz inks. This was layered on to Poppy Parade card stock.

The cabin and sentiment were stamped with Early Espresso and Poppy Parade inks respectively.

Watercolour Pencils were used to add a hint of colour to the cabin before Die Cutting with a Stitched Oval die.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Layered Let It Snow

Hello Everyone,

More Christmas crafting today with the Snowman Season stamp set and the adorable Let it Snow Speciality Designer Series Paper.

The Designer Series Paper was adhered to a white card base.

The flip side then used to make a smaller topper panel. Tulle ribbon was tied around the panel before adding to the prepared card base.

The snowman was stamped in Memento black ink and coloured using a combination of watercolour pencils and Stampin’ Blends Markers. The image was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Flirty Flamingo ink was used for the sentiment which was also die cut.

Layers were assembled using dimensionals. Some snowflakes which were left over from yesterday’s project finished the card.

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

Yuletide Season

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card features the Frosted Frames dies, they are so pretty!

I started by making a card base from Seaside Spray card stock and adhering a white card layer to the front.

The Frosted Frames were cut twice, once in Seaside Spray and the other in Whisper White card stocks. These were adhered together and to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut.

Some extra snowflakes were die cut and added as embellishments.

Snowy Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Look at this cute snowman! He’s so happy it’s Christmas!

A white card base was prepared by layering some Speciality Designer Series Paper on to the front.

Vellum was trimmed to 3 by 4-3/4 and secured to the centre of the card.

The snowman was stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils. The coordinating punch was used to cut the image. His hat and arms were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I mounted the snowman onto some Designer Series Paper and White card stock before adhering to the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and added with dimensionals.

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.

Laser Cut Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I wanted to use the transparency of the laser cut cards as a feature.

The layers for the topper added as follows;

Vellum cut with a Stitched Circle Die,
White Flax ribbon,
Very Vanilla card stock cut with 2-1/4 inch circle punch,
Gold foil card stock cut with the Starburst Punch,
Very Vanilla ard stock cut with the Timeless Label punch prestamped with Golden Glitz Delicata ink.

Night Before Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Designer Series Paper is your best friend for making lots of cards fast!

The Night Before Christmas pack has designs to suit different tastes.

This is what I would consider to be quite traditional. I matted this with Crumb Cake card stock and added to a Night of Navy card base.

The metallic edge ribbon adds some bling and texture.

The sentiment from Frosted Foliage was stamped with Night Of Navy ink and die cut, (you could also use a punch).

For this less traditional design I used Very Vanilla layers and Real Red card stock and ink.

The ribbon was substituted for the Braided Linen Trim.

The sentiment was from the Everything Festive stamp set.

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

Shimmery Frosted Foliage

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is a one layer card! I know… Not a dimensional in sight!

The simplicity of the design was intended to showcase the stunning Delicata Metallic Pigment Ink.

I used the Silvery Shimmer ink for the snowflakes. It is difficult to see from the photograph the true beauty of this ink.

For the frosty feel I used Seaside Spray for the sentiment and card base.

Tropical Christmas #FMS366

Hi Everyone,

Here’s my entry for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge set by Cecile.

The design team projects can be seen here

And here is my design…..

I have broken out my Tropical Chic stamp set again and added some festive flair with the colour scheme.

Real Red ink was used to add the stripes to the background.

The leaves were stamped with Call Me Clover ink and die cut. Each was curled slightly and secured with a single dimensional.

The sentiment was taken from the Timeless Tidings stamp set. I thought this looked cute lying across the card at angle, this way it does not obscure the background design.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.
