Triple Layer Snowflake Soiree Christmas Card

Here's another triple layer card that is almost like the other one. It uses Snowflake Soiree stamp set by Stampin' Up! The main difference is that I used the solid color cardstock as the top layer. I stamped and embossed the sentiment and inked the edges with craft white ink. Then I added an embellishment to make it sparkle. I wish the sparkle would show up more than it does. These Frosted Finish Embellishments really sparkle!

Have a crafty day!

Thanksgiving Pocket Scrapbook Page

I thought I had already posted this Stampin' Up! scrapbook page we made at one of the scrapbook workshops. We tried one of the pocket pages this time. Pocket pages are very popular right now. It shouldn't be too surprising, the layout is already pre-determined; all you have to do is plug in the photos and embellishments.

We used Stampin' Up! Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper and some embellishments from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit. Now all that I need to do is print some photos from Thanksgiving and insert them in the pockets, then journal on the card and I'm done!

Christmas Banner

Are you ready to make a Christmas Banner? Here's the one I just made with Stampin' Up! products.

I used Baked Brown Sugar card stock as the base. It is one of this year's In-Colors. It is very close to the color of basic craft paper.
I used the Festive Flurry snowflake stamp set to stamp small snowflakes on the base, using white craft ink. I also used the largest snowflake in the set to stamp on Pool Party card stock. Then I embossed the large flakes and cut them out with the matching framelit.
For the next layer I used crumb cake card stock and made rosettes. On top of the rosette is a scalloped circle punched from silver paper. The top layer is stamped with a vintage letter set onto Pool party scalloped circles. I used stitched ribbon to tie them all together.
I traced around a Deco Label framelit to get the shaped bottom on each pennant.

Oh Holy Night Christmas Card

This is a card that I created for Stamp-A-Stack next Sunday. I used the Stampin' Up! set, Oh Holy Night, from the Holiday catalog.

 

This is a hybrid project. I liked this paper but it is only available through My Digital Studio. I bought the digital download and printed the paper that I needed. Love it! It is a thrifty way to get Stampin' Up! paper because the download it a great price. Usually Stampin' Up! paper comes in assorted packs and sometimes there's left overs. Not with My digital studio downloads. They will include the entire assortment, but you just print the pieces you need!

I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the layout of this card.

Have a blessed day,

 I also used Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding. I like it because it is so easy to use and makes such pretty cards.

Gently Falling Fall Card

Here's a card for the Paper Players weekly challenge.
  I used the Gently Falling stamp set from Stampin' Up! The technique that I used for the leaf panels is spritzing. I used a Stampin' Spritzer filled to within 3/4 inch of the threaded top with rubbing alcohol and then added about 20- 25 drops of Early Espresso reinker. Shake, then spritz over white card stock panels.

 

 The other technique that I used was for the stamped leaves. I first inked them with Stampin' Classic Crushed Curry ink. Then I used a Stampin' Sponge and a Stampin' Classic Pumpkin Pie ink pad to sponge some orange around the edges of the leaf. Don't you love how that technique turns out?

Gently Falling stamp set

Enjoy and have a Crafty Day!

I used the Stampin' Up! builder wheel at the top of this page and for the banner. I have such fun with the Stampin' Around wheels. I use them to decorate cards, envelopes, gift wrap, gift bags and boxes, and this time I used it on the scrapbook page.

I also used the pennant builder punch, the modern label punch and a small scallop punch.

• Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
• Postage Collection- Hostess set

Truly Grateful card with Birch Paper

This is one of the cards I created for Susie's workshop. We had a fun evening! Wish you could have been there. We used the Stampin' Up! set- Truly Grateful.

I know I have said it several times already, but I really like the birch paper that is in the Thankful Tablescape kit. I hope that Stampin' Up! will have some of it in the next annual catalog. Right now the only way to get it for use is to buy the Tablescape kit.

The brown band is also from the Thankful Tablescape kit. The other products are in the annual catalog. I used the scallop border punch, very vanilla seam binding, Whisper White card stock, Early Espresso card stock, and an Antique brad.

But, I am not going to be having Thanksgiving at my home this year, so I decided to see what else I could do with the kit. This is one of the cards that I made. I used a Mojo Monday Sketch for the layout. Have you tried Mojo Monday Sketches yet? They're fabulous! This one is from the 2010 collection.

Fall Celebration Card

This Stampin' Up! card could be used as a Thanksgiving card or as a Birthday card equally well. I used items from the Thanksgiving Tablescape kit to create this card. I also used  Freshly Made Sketch 102.

The tablescape kit has so many items in it. I will not be using it to decorate my table for Thanksgiving because I have had so much fun finding other uses for all the elements!

Have a blessed day,

Make a Cake Birthday Card

Here's a nice bold Stampin' Up! birthday card. For this card I used the Make a Cake stamp set, the En Francais single background stamp and the Polka Stampin' Around wheel.

Make A Cake Stamp set

En Francais stamp

Polka Stampin' Around builder wheel

I used this builder wheel to created the polka dot strip on the left side of the card.

Chalk Talk Framelits

I love this set of framelits. They make such nice tags and the set is even more versatile with the different hole frametlits that you can place wherever you like in the tags.

Large Scallop Edgelits

I cut a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock to tuck under the edge of the Polka dot strip. I used this Large Scallop Edgelit. 

 
The Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding gives the card the finishing pop of color. I love this seam binding too. It is so easy to work with.

This card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" size.
