Did you ever come across images that you once drew or painted and thought that you could make a card from the pieces you had around?  Well that is what I did with this card.  I had painted the blossom and had some DSP left over and decided to use it up.  Hope you like it!

The background is a watercolor wash of Night of Navy and Marina Mist on Shimmery paper.  I used the DSP, Home for Christmas, page 9 and  Season of Cheer, page 29 of the Holiday Catalog.  The Three Wise men (stamp set All Ye Faithful), page 20 of the HC, were colored using classic ink with an aqua pen on watercolor paper which I then fussy cut out.

I think this is the cutest ever.  I love the little Santa peeking in the window.  This is another card we made at our Wednesday club and everyone loved it.  The Santa was fussy cut from the DSP Home for Christmas, page 9 of the HC.  It is the best DSP that SU has ever designed for the Holidays.  These little Santas and the little reindeer are all over the internet.  Now the background trees are from the DSP, Season of Cheer, page 29.  The wall paper is from our gorgeous DSP in color.  The sentiment is from the set, Oh, What Fun, page 5 and the window was cut with the die Hearth and Home, page 11.

I just love the DSP from our Holiday catalog.  The background paper is from Season of Cheer, page 29 so is the pointsettia that I fussy cut.  I used the Embossing Folder, Softly Falling, page 24 and the sentiment is from the Hostess set Six Sayings, page 51.  Hope you like it.

02. November 2015 · Comments Off on White Birch Trees · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

The thing I loved about upstate NY were the beautiful white Birch trees.  I remember one day years ago when I was golfing, that a huge branch fell off one of the trees on the golf course and I remember dragging it off and bringing it home.  My husband sawed it into four pieces and I still have them.  I decorate the fireplace with them every year when we are not using it.  They are still beautiful, and I am so thankful that no one has tried to use them for fire wood.  I would, of course, be crushed if that ever happened and needless to say I would have to hurt the person who did that. LOL

When I first saw this embossing folder, Woodland Textured, page 30 AC, that is what inspired me to design this card with white birch trees.  Although, I suppose you could use it for any type trees just by changing the color.  I brayered the background of the folder with Pacific Point ink which left the trees white.  I used the set Among the Branches, same page, for the sentiment.  That can also be bundled for a 15% off deal.  The little Silver foil ornaments were cut out with the Perfect Pines Framelits, page 16.

Looking to do something different for Thanksgiving dinner?  Why not put these on every plate?  So easy to make with our DSP, Into The Woods, page 43 of the HC and the Square pillow box Thinlits die, page 41 HC.  These we made at last month’s camp and filled with Twix bars.  I used Daffodil Delight card stock and cut the leaves out with our Leaflets Framelits, page 172 of the AC.  We then sponged the leaves with Old Olive, Watermelon Wonder, and Tangelo Twist inks.  We used Wild Wasabi 1/2″ seam binding to tie the box closed and finished it off with White Bakers twine and Into the Woods wooden Elements.

This set is so versatile, page 40 of the AC.  It can also be bundle with the Thinlits dies to save 15%.  Although it shows mostly Halloween and Christmas, think about using this with a bunny in it for Easter, or a beach globe with sand and sea.

29. October 2015 · Comments Off on Snow Way, this set is awesome! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

These little guys are so cute and this set, Snow Place, page 33 of the HC, has tons of embellishments to use with them.  The most amazing thing about this set is that it comes with matching Framelits dies.  To top it off there are sentiments included plus you get 15% if you bundle both.  You certainly get your moneys worth from this one.  I used the embossing folder, Brick Wall, page 174 of the AC and the white gel pen to highlight the bricks.  Hope you like it!

I love these little snowflake wooden elements, page 23 HC,  because you can do so much with them.  I embossed this snow flake with silver embossing powder and added silver cording, page 24.  The stamp set is All Ye Faithful, page 20 and that I embossed in white on watercolor paper that I had colored washed.  I backed it with Silver glimmer paper, page 149 of the AC.  The card front is white corrugated paper, page 148 of the AC which I cut out using our Oval Collection Framelits, page 173 of the AC.

This is one of the cards we made at Saturday’s camp.  I used the DSP from both Home for Christmas (pg9, HC) and Season of Cheer (pg29).  I embossed the gold foil paper with the Embossing Folder Boho Chic (pg 174 AC).  The ribbon is from the beautiful gold and white Glitter ribbon (pg 29) and it is tied with our Gold Cording (pg 24).  The image is from the set, Christmas Cuties, page 19.  I used the Metalics Assortment Sequins, pg 160 of the AC.

Love this stamp set, Christmas Cuties, page 19 of the HC.  I brayered the Embossing Folder, Woodland Textured Impressions, page 39, with Lost Lagoon ink on Whisper White Card Stock.  The sentiment is from, Oh, What Fun, page 5.  I think the little guy in front is the bomb, and so stinkin’ cute!

Our Friday night group made this card along with others and they really liked it.  So easy to put together.  I used red foil paper and the Delicate ornament thinlits die, page 15 of the HC.  The DSP is Season of Cheer, page 29, one of my favorite Holiday papers.   I used the gold cording trim, page 24, which is the best ever for tying bows.  Love it!

I copied this card from one of our Resources through SU, but I changed the sentiment and added embellishments.  It was displayed as a birthday card sent to me in an email.  The idea was that this DSP, Season of Cheer (page 29 of the HC), although, I used it as a Christmas card, it could also be used a birthday or Celebrate card.  Don’t you agree?

I used the stamp set, Embellished Ornaments, page 15 HC, with the matching Thinlit dies for this card.  You can buy this as a bundle and save 15%.  I used the red foil sheets, page 26 of the HC, and the Brights Sequins, page 160, of the AC.  This is a great set complete with sentiments for both front of the card and inside.

That is the name of this stamp set, page 20 of the HC.  I used classic ink from the pads to watercolor the image and then cut out the images with the Square Collections Framelits, page 173 of the AC.  I border the image with our gold foil paper, page 148.  I used Lost Lagoon, and Pool Party for my paper.

I love this black glimmer paper.  It is really stunning!  I am hoping top be able to use some of it for Christmas too!  Have to get my thinking cap on for that.  These were cut out with the Boo to you framelits on page 49 of the HC and I used the DSP Happy Haunting on page 47.

More images and sentiments from September’s PP.  Again I used the Happy Haunting DSP, page 47 of the HC and candy dots, page 161 from the AC.  In addition I used the tea lace doilies, page 148 AC and sponged it with Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Watermelon Wonder and Old Olive ink refills on a baby wipe.  That is also what I used to stamp the images.  I used some left over raffia from the kit.

Do you know how awesome our stamp sets are from the Paper Pumpkin kits? This card was created using the stamps from September’s Paper Pumpkin.  Not only are there plenty of images but also plenty of sentiments.  I used the DSP Happy Haunting, page 47 from the HC and our Candy Dots, page 161 from the AC.  Just use your imagination and create your own.

01. October 2015 · Comments Off on Watercolor Wash · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

This card was created using the background stamp, Watercolor Wash page 129 of the AC.  In addition, from the Holiday Catalog, the set Reason for the Season, page 31 has both the images and the sentiment.  This is a great set if you like 2 step stamping, but it can also be used alone, as on this card.  It’s hard to tell by my photo but I did use Crystal Effect on the pointsettia, which was colored with Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow.

These Edgelits will knock the top of your head off!  They are so awesome!  There is a stamp set that SU has paired with them but I didn’t use any stamp other than Six Sayings, the Hostess set, on page 51 of the HC.  I punched out the star from Silver Glimmer paper with our Itty Bitty Accents punch, page 166 of the AC.  I use white ink to splatter the sky and I added the silver sequins to hide a blunder. LOL

29. September 2015 · Comments Off on Into the Woods · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , ,

The image cut out from this DSP, page 43 HC, is from the Leaflets Framelits, page 172, AC.  I used the maple leaf die.  The fall scene, and the sentiment is from the stamp set, Happy Scenes, page 11 of the HC.  I colored it with our stampinWrite markers.  I love it when a stamp set comes with both images and sentiments.  AND, of course this set can be used for just about any season.  Don’t you just love these little wooden elements, page 43?  The ribbon is our 1/2″ seam binding found on page 159 of the AC.  OOPS! I just looked up the page and noticed that they discontinued the Daffodil Delight Seam binding.  Oh well, Stuff happens.

This is a single stamp from the AC, page 115.  The sentiment is from a photopolymer stamp set, Lovely Amazing You.  I used Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow on the flowers.  I paper Pierced the front and finished off with Brights Candy Dots.  Hope you like it!

ON this card I used the framelits, page 172 of the AC, without the stamp set and I am really happy with the way they turned out.  I scored each leaf with the stylus tool.  The colors I sponged with are Old Olive, Watermelon Wonder and Tangelo Twist, on Dafodil Delight Card Stock.  The sentiment is from the set Among the branches, page 39 of the HC.  I am sure getting a lot of use from that set.  I embellished with the wooden elements, into the woods, page 43 of the HC.
