Don’t you just love this DSP, Candy Cane Lane, page 5 of the HC? I love the colors red, white and brown together. It is so country. You can do so much with this DSP, like cutting the images out and using them separately on a card or a gingerbread house. The trees are from a set that we carried over from last year, Peaceful Pines, page 28 of the AC with the matching dies, Perfect Pines, page 192, same catalog. I white embossed the trees on Early Espresso Card Stock. Fun card.
If you rec’d your Holiday catalog, you can find this set on page 24. If you do not have a holiday catalog, please contact me and I will get one to you. It has the matching thinlit dies where you can get a bundle price and save 10%. Fantastic deal and such a wonderful set. Has great images and also nice sentiments. The bell is from the set Christmas Magic, page 22 and the sentiment is from the set Reason for the Season, page 34 in the Annual Catalog. I used Crystal Effects on the bell and water colored the deer.
I love this set, Merry Mice, page 23 of the HC. I used the DSP from the AC, This Christmas Specialty paper, page 172. I stamped the images on water color paper and colored them with the aqua painter, page 180 in the AC. I used the top of our classic ink pads as a palette. Sentiment is from the set, Embellished Ornaments, page 33 of the AC. Card stock used for base card is Cherry Cobbler.
Living in South Carolina, we hardly get any fall, let alone winter. However, I am not a stranger to snow. Growing up in Syracuse, NY, we had the most unbelievable winter snow storms that when I finally left for the sunny south, I said I didn’t care if I ever saw snow again.
We moved to Atlanta and saw snow the first year there and then we moved here and saw the first snow again the winter after Hurricane Hugo hit. Of course, down here it is gone almost as soon as it hits the ground. Although, I must admit sometimes it gets so cold down here (30’s) that I feel I should maybe move farther south. My blood has certainly thinned. LOL
The background of this card is on watercolor paper washed with, Pacific Point, Island Indigo, Tempting Turquoise and Pool party. The deer and trees are cut with the Framelit dies Merry Tags found on page 21 of the HC. The snow is made with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, page 175 of the AC. The sentiment is from the set Snow place, also from the AC on page 30. The snow is splattered with a paint brush covered with a mixture of Whisper White craft Ink and water.
I masked off this card on Whisper White CS to create the horizon. Colors I used on this card were, Old Olive, Soft Suede, and Soft Sky. The fence and pumpkins are cut from the Edgelits on page 52 in the HC. The Wheat is made with shredding the burlap ribbon. I finished off the card with Halloween Night’s Bakers Twine, page 51. Card base is Pumpkin Pie CS.
Well maybe not, but this is sure an old fashion train decorated for the Holidays. The stamp set used on this card is from the Holiday catalog. Christmas Wishes on page 22 is so versatile. What’s great about this set is all the lovely images and great sentiments. I will get a lot of different cards out of this set.
I stamped the train with black archival ink on watercolor paper. I made a palette with our inks and used the aqua painter to color it. Although, the North Pole sign is not on watercolor paper, I did the same here trying not to wet the whisper white paper very much.
I cut out the window with Lots of Labels Framelits, page 193 of the AC and added our foam adhesive strips, page 182, to pop up the window. In addition, I used Soft Sky on the front of the card.
These pumpkins are from the set, Jar of Haunts, page 55 of the HC. They are stamped with Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White card stock. I colored with Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie markers. The background paper is from the DSP, Halloween Night Specialty paper on page 51. I layers the pumpkins on our Silver Foil paper found in the AC on page 175. Card base is Basic Black card stock.
Every now and then I like to do a clean and simple (CAS) card. This stamp set, Cookie Cutter Halloween, page 53 of the HC, fits the bill for CAS. Here I used the little scarecrow and colored him with our markers, and punched him out with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch, page 6 of the HC . For the background I used the set Gorgeous Grunge, page 123 of the AC. In addition, also from the AC, the sentiment is from the set Endless Thanks, page 42. Hope you like it!
The background is created using the DSP, Halloween Specialty, page 51 of the HC. The stamp sets used are Cookie Cutter Halloween, page 53, and Sweet Home, page 40, of the HC. The cute little spooky house is cut out from the DSP above. I just love this pack of DSP, it is so versatile that you can use it both for Halloween and Fall cards. Of course, the little Mummy is cut out with the Cookie Cutter punch on page 6 of the HC.
I made this card with the set Cookie Cutter Halloween, page 53 of the HC, and Teeny Tiny Wishes, page 90 of the AC. I sponged leaves cut out with the Leaflets Framelits, page 193 of the AC, with Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry. The embellishments are the Delicate White Doilies and the 2015-17 In-color doilies both on page 175 of the AC. I used the Burlap Ribbon 178 of the AC in back of the sentiment. DSP is In-color 2015-17.
It’s a funny thing about Halloween cards. I love to make them but I rarely send them except to little ones. They are so much fun to put together and I always end up with a ton of unsent cards so if you need some let me know. I also have friends that do not celebrate this Holiday so they are not interested in making Halloween cards.
This card is made with the stamp sets Cookie Cutter Halloween, page 53, Jar of Haunts, page 55, and Ghoulish Grunge, page 52 of the HC. I just love the little spiders, they are so stinkin’ cute! If you love Halloween and making cards you will be in love with everything SU put together in this HC. So much to pick from being scary to being cute and funny.
I love these little guys from the Cookie Cutter Halloween set on page 53. They also go with the punch on page 6, both in the HC. Here I used the leaves from the stamp set, Vintage Leaves, page 37 in the AC. I used the In-color DSP Delightful Dijon page, 169 in the AC. In addition, I used the Ghoulish Grunge stamp for the background. This set can be found on page 52 of the HC. Love this set and hope they carry it over after the Holidays.
Hey Stampers, so sorry you have not heard from me in a few days. I have been sick but back to my old former self now, and starting to post daily again. Sure hope you missed me because I missed you!
This project was made using the Stamp set Sweet Home and the Thinlits, page 40 of the HC. It is almost like the sample on the same page except that I changed it around a little. The DSP is Halloween Night Specialty on page 51. Love this suite. You can get a discount on the bundle if you buy both the set and thinlits together.
When I saw this set, page 24 in the HC, and the matching Thinlits, I knew I had to have it. You can get this bundle with a 10% discount. Both the set and the Thinlits are very versatile. I embossed the top of the sleigh with Copper EP. I used the Snowman from Christmas Magic, page 22. The background paper is from the DSP Fruit Stand, page 172, in the AC.
There were not a lot of Thanksgiving stamps in the Holiday Catalog so I used this as one. I mean who doesn’t have Apple pie at Thanksgiving?
The set is Glamper Greetings on page 42. The DSP is from the AC, Fruit Stand page 173. I embellished it with Very Vanilla Lace trim, page 179 in the AC. Ink Colors are Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb cake, Smokey Slate and Marina Mist.
This set, Wonder of Christmas can be found in the HC on page 14. We have so many beautiful embossing folders this year and this one is called Holly, page 195 in the AC. The colors I used are Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Soft Sky and Cucumber Crush. Image was stamped in Black Archival ink.
This was one of the cards we made at Camp on Saturday. The Specialty DSP, Halloween Night, page 51 of the HC, really sets it off. I used the set Jar of Haunts from the HC, page 55. The sentiment is stamped on a banner cut from the Banner Framelits, page 193, AC and backed with silver foil, page 175.
I just love all the holiday stamps this year and this is one of my favs. I usd the silver metallic thread, page 178 in back of the cute zombie.
From the HC, this 3D item is what we made at Camp on Saturday. The DSP is Halloween Night Specialty paper and I cut the bag out with our Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, page 191 in the AC. I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, page 186 to make the tag and decorated it with the stamps from Sweet Home. The Bow is made from the new Halloween Night Baker’s Twine and fastened with the Gold Binder clips, page 177. Imagine how cool this would be filled with candy for that special little Trick or Treater.
These little guys are so darn cute. They are from the stamp set, Cookie Cutter Christmas in the HC and so is the sentiment. The DSP is Candy Lane Christmas and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. I cut these guys out with the matching Punch, Cookie Cutter Builder, also in the HC. You can buy both the stamp set and the punch as a bundle and get a 10% discount. Great deal!
The stamps I used to create this card are from the HC, Ghoulish Grunge and Jar of Haunts. I used Clear embossing powder with Cherry Cobbler Ink on the jar. In addition, I used the new DSP, Halloween Night Specialty paper. The bats are from Sweet Home stamp set, also in the HC.
This card was created from both the annual catalog and the Holiday catalog. The set Joyful Navity can be found in the AC on page 35 and the Copper Tree was made with the Merry Tags Framelits in the HC. I used the copper foil paper and the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. The DSP is from the collection, This is Christmas Specialty paper, page 172 and the card base is Kraft Cardstock, page 175.
I love this set, Touches of Texture, page 141, in the AC. I used Pacific Point and emeral Envy for my colors. I love that this set has so many different textures that you can add to your card.
When I created this card I did not realize that the sentiment had retired but I really do like the way it came out. I used matching washi tape and ruched ribbon for embellishments.
This is a card created with the set, Glamper Greetings from the HC. The DSP is also from the HC and is called Candy Cane Lane. I used a mask on the camper to create the water and sand. The card base is our Kraft Cardstock from the AC, page 175. What I like about this set is all the sentiments that come with it. Lots of versatility.
Okay this is my kinda stamp set. I love it because it is so Vintage looking with the old time Santa Claus. The images in this set are wonderful and so versatile. Many ideas you can get from using this set.
Here I used Archival Black ink for the background and the Santa. I then tinted it with our inks and blender pens. What I like about the blender pens is that you do not have to put the ink on full strength, like you do with a marker. Just start a little palette in the top of the ink pad container and use that. You can make it as dark or light as you wish, which is what I did with this card.
Here I used our DSP, Playful Palette, page 174 and the sentiment, Reason for the Season, page 34.
The pine cones and the pine branches are created with a set of Thinlits call Pretty Pines from the HC. I used Vary Vanilla Lace trim, page 179 and Sweet Sugarplum Ruched ribbon to embellish, along with a Mini Copper Pine cone attached. The sequins are the new Pool Party and Sweet Sugarplum. You are going to love the new embellishments in the new HC.
Another sneak peek. This is the card I created for the Cute & Cuddly challenge for SUO. I used the stamp sets Merry Mice and Father Christmas. I just love using our inks to watercolor. Here I used watercolor paper and stamped with our archival black ink. The inks I used are Perfect Plum, Watermelon Wonder, Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette and Delightful Dijon. Both of these sets are in the new Holiday catalog and will be available for sale on the 1st of September. In addition, I used the gorgeous perfect plum Halloween Night Enamel Dots. I am so happy with this new catalog. It is, IMO, the best ever Holiday catty we have ever come out with.
For the background, I used, This is Christmas Specialty DSP and the Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP, both found on page 172 in the annual catalog.
I splattered this card with White Craft ink to make the snow. The card was created with items from the new Holiday catalog. The little houses were fussy cut from the beautiful DSP Candy Cane Lane. The sentiment is from the set, Merry Mouse (how interesting is that)? The fence is cut with the Halloween Scenes Edgelits on Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.
The tree is from last years set Peaceful Pines, page 28 and the matching dies, Perfect Pines, page 192.
Here I did use a stamp from the HC (brick wall), from the set Ghoulish Grunge, which I hope stays on as a great texture stamp set. It has wonderful images great for using on cards other than Holiday related.
I used the stamp set, Flower Shop, page 105, and the sentiment from the set, Suite Sayings, page 104 where I used the Tags & Labels Framelits, page 193. In addition,
I used the Copper metallic Thread, page 178 and the Very Vanilla Lace trim, page 179. The Inks used were Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Perfect Plum.
The flowers are embellished with the enamel Halloween dots and Copper Foil (HC), and Flourish Thinlits, page 194.
This card is created with the Edgelits, Halloween Scenes, from the new HC. The sentiment is actually from the set, Glamper Greetings, and with a Thinlit dies from Home Sweet Home. The DSP is new also and that is called Halloween Night Specialty. Note the house on the bottom is fussy cut from same DSP. So versatile.
This is a stamp from the new Holiday Catalog (HC). Y’all are going to love this new catty. It is better than ever. If you thought that nothing could be better than the last one, think again. You should be getting yours by September. I will be posting samples of new sets until it comes out on September 1st. That way you will have a good idea of what interests you. Now, you know, I am not going to have all the sets and embellishments but enough to keep you going. This little moose is from the set is Cookie Cutter Christmas. The DSP is from the AC, This is Christmas Specialty on page 172.
I created this card using the images from the set, Flower Shop, page 105 with the matching Pansy punch, page 187. I was really in a punch type mood all this week. Maybe it was because I rec’d my new goodies last week that included new punches and decided that I haven’t used my old ones in awhile.
The leaves are cut out with the Framelits, Botanical Builder found on page 194 and stamped with the set Botanical Blooms, page 142. I added Enamel Shapes, page 177, to the center of the flowers.Colors used were Burmuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Basic Black Achrival Ink.
The background paper is from Pop of Pink Specialty DSP, page 172. In addition, I added the new Black Metallic thread, page 178, behind the sentiment, found on page 86 with the Tin of Stamps set.
Last week I featured this same card a little differently. I used a different pattern of the DSP, A Little Foxy Paper Stack, page 174. Here I used the colors Watermelon Wonder, Basic Gray and Smokey Slate. In addition, I added our beautiful Rhinestone Basic Jewels. The circle was cut with our new Layered Circle Famelits, page 193, and I replaced the ribbon with paper.
I got the idea for this card from the gallery in Stampin’ Connection. I had saved this to my favorites on my Mac, but I cannot remember who the demo was. If you know, please let me know so I can give her credit. I have changed most of the stamps used, and the sentiment, except for Butterfly Basics, page 113, and Flower Shop, page 105, and colors have been cased. Grateful for the inspiration.
Yes, I love these Thinlits also, found on page 194. Of course, the first time I saw this stamp set, Best Birds, page 53, I knew I HAD TO HAVE IT! There is so much you can do with this set and the matching Thinlits.
I watercolored the bird with Early Espresso, Crumb cake and Tangerine Tango. Other colors used were Bermuda Bay and Old Olive.
You can get a 10% discount on both the set and Thinlets if you buy them as a bundle. Can’t beat that for this very versatile bundle.
Lovely As a Tree, page 130, is such a great stamp set and I hope Shelli keeps her word and NEVER retires this set. I used it here in the background. I masked the truck to add the trees. Stamp set used is Country Livin’ page 131. Colors used are Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Old Olive. The banner is from the stamp set, Birthday Banners, page 15 and the Guy Greetings, page 114. This is great masculine card. You can find the Framelits, Bunch of Banners on page 193.
