Wonderland pine branch card

This card evolved while I was trying to complete another card and get the sentiment just right.  It's really quite simple to put together.  I hope you enjoy looking.  It features the Winter Wonderland vellum paper stack which I think makes the card gorgeous.  The gold embossing on the vellum is so beautiful.  Please leave me a comment with your thoughts!

 

Supplies used:  Cherry cobbler and whisper white card stock
Early espresso, mossy meadow and cherry cobbler ink pads
Project Life cards and label framelits
Versatile Christmas and Wonderland stamp sets
Winter Wonderland vellum paper stack

Woodland happy scene Christmas card

This card came together while I was trying out a new technique of inking and stamping images directly onto the embossing folder.  I started with a piece of card 4x5 1/4" .  I sponged marina mist and night of navy inks directly on to the embossing folder.  I then inked up my images from Happy Scenes and Lovely as a Tree in Mossy Meadow ink and stamped these images directly on the embossing folder.  This was all done on the inside top cover of the folder.  You then place your whisper white cardstock piece inside the folder and run it through the big shot to create the beautifully inked scenery.  I then stamped the both cardinals and the deer from White Christmas.  I used the Aqua painter with real red ink to color the cardinals and soft suede for the deer.  These I fussy cut and put on the card.  To finish it off I stamped and embossed in gold the Merry Christmas banner and fussy cut that.  This focal piece was put on a real red card base.

To finish off the inside of the card, I chose a sentiment from Versatile Christmas and stamped the same tree image in Mossy Meadow from Happy Scenes with another little Cardinal from White Christmas.  It's not a card to mass produce, however, it does makes very special card for a loved one.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I hope I've inspired you to try some new techniques and see where it takes your creativity. If you need to order any supplies, please click on my shpping cart in the upper right hand corner.

Deer holiday home window card

Gosh am I loving the new holiday mini catalog by Stampin' Up!  The catalog will release to customers on September 1st, but as a demonstrator I get to order early.  Wahoo!  If you would like to join my team, you can order early as well AND get a discount on your purchases.  Contact me if you are interested.

This card uses the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I cut the deer and holly out from a sheet of the DSP!  I know, adorable right?  You get two sheets of the deer paper and it has a lot of little deer all over it.  You can make a ton of cards with just the two sheets of the DSP and still have 10 other sheets of DSP for other projects. The window is made using the Hearth and Home Thinlet dies and the scene is the background is stamped with Happy Scenes stamp set.  The thinlets and stamp set can be purchased in a bundle to save you money.

The ribbon, button and gold cord are also from the holiday collection.  The sentiment is from a new stamp set called Versatile Christmas.  The little holly sprigs are from another set called A Little Something.  It's bundled with a pillow box Thinlet die.  I cut the sentiment out using the Chalk Talk framelits.  The base of the cards is Very Vanilla card stock.  Hope you are inspired.  Be sure to check back each week to see what's new. Thanks for taking a little time out of your day to stop by.  You can order any holiday products beginning September 1 just by clicking the shopping cart on the right.
