Life is Better With You - Seasonal Wreath Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a really clean and simple card using the Seasonal Wreath Stamp Set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I created this card just with Stamps ink and paper and a little fussy cutting.  I know how much you all love to fussy cut, but this card only has just a little.  Here's a look at my card.  

Tips & Tricks: 

I started out my card with a thick piece of Whisper White cardstock cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  and used one of my circle dies to lightly draw a circle on the card front with a pencil.  I used the pencil lines as a place holder for the stamped images.  Once I had the circle drawn in I came back with my eraser and went over it so that there wasn't a lot of graphite on the card stock.  I didn't want the pencil marks to get trapped under the ink.  At this point I could start my stamping.  
 I stamped the floral sprig around the circle letting each one touch just slightly.  I stamped everything in Tuxedo Black ink.  Once the ink dried I came back in again with my eraser and removed all the other pencil marks that I could with out damaging the ink.  I then colored the image in with my Stampin' Blends.  I used the following colors to do so; Pumpkin Pie Dark, Cherry Cobbler Dark, for the flowers and Mossy Meadow light and dark blends to color the leaves.  I then stamped the bird on some scrap of thick whisper white cardstock and colored it with my Seaside Spray (for the chest) and Soft Suede light and dark for the body.  
Once I had the bird colored I than fussy cut him out with my paper snips.  Before placing the bird on my card I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink in the center of the wreath.  I left a little opening in the stamping so that I could put him in that spot.  I popped him up on a Stampin' Dimensional for a little dimension to this clean and simple card.  
To finish off the card I added some of the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the center of the Pumpkin pie flowers and around the card.  I used the Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones.  The coloring on the card was super simple I just did basic coloring without any blending except on the bird.  I hope that you like my little creation today, and that I have inspired you to create a Fall Wreath card using the Seasonal Wreath Stamp Set.  
Happy Stampin'

Tis the Season

Hello and welcome to my blog; I hope that you are having a wonderful day!  I am going to share with you the card that I did last night during my Facebook Live.  I have a weekly Facebook Live mini Class every Wednesday night at 8 pm CST.  I also share that project and and tutorial the next day here and on my YouTube Channel.  Last night I used products from the Night Before Christmas Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog.  Here's a look at my card.


Tips & Tricks: 

I created this card with some scraps from my stash.  Well the designer series paper and the stamped and die cut images are from scraps any way.  I used my layering circle dies and my 2 1/4" punch to cut out punch the circles.  You can pick any of the designer series paper from the Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper 6 x 6 paper to create this card.  Any of the designs in this pack of DSP will work for this card.  The background piece of cardstock in Old Olive and I embossed it with the Winter Knit 3d embossing folder, before attaching it to the Very Vanilla Card base.  
Once I had the embossed background and the circles attached to the card base; I then stamped the little poinsettia image from Cup of Christmas and colored it with my Real Red light and dark stampin blends and the Flirty Flamingo Dark blend dark mango melody stampin' blend.  I ran it through my die cutting machine with the matching embossing folder and attached it with a Stampin' Dimensionals.  The Cup of Christmas set isn't part of this suite of products but I am featuring both of these sets in two of my online Classes this month.  If you are interested in either of these classes you can email me and I will send you the registration link.  If you want to take both of these classes at the same time please mention that in the email because you will save on shipping costs.  
Once the poinsettia was colored and cut out and attached to the card front.  I worked on the sentiment for my card; I took a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and colored it with the Flirty Flamingo dark, Real Red light and dark blends and blended the colors together to make an ombre' look and then used the Tis the Season die and cut it out on my die cutting machine.  After all that I attached it to the card front with a little liquid glue.  To finish off the card I added  a few Red Rhinestones to the front of the card.

Night Before Christmas Santa Sleigh Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a card with you that features the products in the Night Before Christmas Suite.   This is a super fun suite and just screams Christmas.  My design is based on this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge this week.  The Sketch challenge this week is a two weeks challenge.  Here's a look at my card.  

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my card for today.

Tips & Tricks: 

For the main focal image on the card I used a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that I did a little ink blending at the top in matching ink.  I did this to enhance the top portion of the cardstock to make it appear more of an ombre' look.  Once I had the ink blending dried I flicked on some Frost White Shimmer Paint.  After the Shimmer Paint dried I added a few white dots with a white gel pen, this added a little more to the background of the card that can give the look of snow or stars.  I added that to a piece of the Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper.  I also added two strips going up the side in different widths.  
Once I had the background done, I added a moon and a few stars punched out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper using the Twinkle Builder Punch.  I attached the moon with mini dimensionals and the stars where attached with a little liquid glue.  
After getting the moon and stars attached to the card I then die cut Santa and the Sleigh four different times.  Once out of Basic Black cardstock and three other times out of scraps.  I then layered the scrap pieces together and then layered the basic black one on top.  I then added Wink a Stella on top of the entire piece to add a little shimmer.  I then popped it up with dimensionals.  On the last reindeer I added a red rhinestone to make him Rudolph.  
  I finished my card by adding the sentiment to the bottom of the card in Tuxedo Black ink.  This way I tied in the basic black to the card.  I hope that you have enjoyed my little card today as much as I had fun creating it.  
Happy Stampin'
