Enjoy the Season - Stampin' Up! Birds of A Feather Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a super cute Holiday card using one of my favorite stamp sets, and the cutest chubby little bird you will ever see.  If you follow me at all you know that I am in love with the Birds of a Feather Stamp Set and it's one of my favorite sets from the Holiday Catalog so I couldn't help but use it on my card today.  Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I started my card by using a half sheet of Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  I stamped the stars from the set in matching Cherry Cobbler ink in a diagonal pattern on the card base.  Once I had the background stamped I moved onto the focal image.  To start I used a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the little cute chubby bird in the Santa hat in tuxedo black ink in the middle.  
I then stamped the stars across the top of the Whisper White cardstock also in tuxedo black ink.  I then colored the stars and my little bird in the following colors; Cherry Cobbler (Santa Hat), Pool Party light & dark (bird), and Daffodil Delight light & dark (for the stars and beak).  I then stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler ink.  
I added my colored image to a piece of Pool Party Cardstock and then to a piece of Gray Granite Cardstock.  I then attached some of the Cherry Cobbler diagonal striped ribbon and added a knot.  I popped up this piece on to the card base to finish off the card.  
Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you like my little card and you will give it a try for a quick little Christmas Card.

Saturday Simple Stamping #38: Tiny Keepsake Clean & Simple Christmas Card

Hello and welcome to my blog and Day 3 of my 25 Days of Christmas (Holiday Card Series for 2019).  I am going to share with you another card an video for this years Holiday Card Series and today's card is also a Simple Stamping Card as well.  With the 25 Days of Christmas Series I have new Christmas/Holiday projects coming out every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday until December 21, 2019.  For today's card I used the stamp set Tiny Keepsake and created a Clean and Simple Christmas Card for you today.  Here's a look at my card.

As I mentioned above this card was also designed for the beginner in mind.  It only uses stamps, ink , paper, and a embellishment.  Today I chose to use the Red Rhinestones from the Annual Catalog as the embellishment on my card.  I thought that the simplicity of the card didn't need a lot of extra stuff.  I wanted to use the Tiny Keepsake stamp set from the Holiday Catalog but in a different way than what it was designed for.  This stamp set was designed to decorate the Tiny Curvy Keepsake box.  But, I used one of the design images as the focal image of my card today.  I just adore the simple striped image; it reminds me of candy canes and I thought it was perfect for a clean and simple one layer card.
I stamped the stripped image in the center of my thick Whisper White Card base in Real Red ink.  I thought that this was a perfect attention grabber for a clean and simple card design.  It still reads Christmas without being overpowering.  This design is perfect for mass production and a new stamper at the same time.  Because you can set it up in the Stamparatus and stamp all the card bases at one time or use a clear block and do the same.
Once I had the center stamped I stamped one of the greetings from the stamp set on the outside in Old Olive ink.   I did add a inside sentiment with the Host Set Greatest Part of Christmas (which is one of my favorite Christmas sentiments sets ever).  I love the mix of inside and outside sentiments in this set and it has all kids of different fonts that I am sure you will find something to work on your cards.
As I mentioned before once I had the outside and inside finished I just added a few of the red rhinestones to embellish the card.  If you have missed any of the projects in my 25 Days of Christmas Holiday Card Series you can click here to view them all or just do a simple search on my blog and find them.

Quick & Easy Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the super quick and easy thank you card that I made last night during my weekly Facebook Live.  I used the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set; and I will tell you this set has been on my list since it came out but I would keep forgetting to order it until after the order was submitted.  This is a great set for so many occasions and uses.  It can be used on cards, on tags, and packaging, there's a sentiment to fit your needs.  This is one of those sets I consider a must have for any crafter.  Here's a look at my card.

When I designed this card I did so by picking out the designer series paper first.  And, then picked my colors around that.  I used Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, and Whisper White.  I started with a piece of Pretty Peacock Cardstock for the card base which was cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  My next layer was the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4, but before I placed it on the card I used the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog to dry emboss the paper.  This added even more texture to the printed texture on the paper.  Which by the way added just that little extra pop that this clean and simple card needed.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock I stamped the label from the set, actually it was two images that created this label, I stamped the first one in Purple Posy Ink, and the next one with the flowers was stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink.    Next I used the Pretty Label Punch and punched it out.  I added a piece of the Scalloped Linen Ribbon in both colors to the front of the card using Tear & Tape Adhesive.  Tear & tape is my go to for adhering ribbon.  I then popped up the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a few of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots to bring in a little more of the Peacock.  I added a piece of whisper white to the inside with a small strip of the designer series paper to finish the card.
