A Holiday Home Christmas Card

Today I thought I would play with the "Holiday Home stamp set and dies.  I LOVE it that I didn't have to cut out the house but I did have to cut the snowman and the wreath.  The wreath was very tiny and more difficult to cut than the tiny snowman.  UGH!!! Those dies have spoiled me!!!

I found this card here at Glitter Thumbs blog.  

I think on the original the house was colored in with Blendabilities.  I didn't have that color group so I used Cherry Cobbler ink and a blender pen.

I drew the snow line in by hand and then set the house and the snowman in place using Dimensionals for the house and pieces of Dimensionals for the snowman.  And I used even tinier pieces of Dimensionals for the wreath.  

I stamped snowflakes all over the background and then I used Crystal Effects and glitter on them. I also glittered up the ground, the roof of the house, the top of the chimney, the top part of the snowman hat, and the right side of the bottom ball of the snowman.  I did not let it dry before I took the photo, so it may not look as sparkly as it does in real life!

This was a fun card to make and I did have fun playing with this set.  Now I'm off to give this set another try and hopefully I can be original with it!!

Festival of Trees Christmas Card

I took a few days off to regroup and try to get some things done around this holiday!!!  I did find a fun card to recreate. I saw this by Lisa at la Stamper.   

I thought it was a fun looking card.  I made a few minor changes.  I also ruined the card by not getting the words straight.   And the card was going together so well.  UGH!  I suppose I could fix it using the oval punch and oval scallop.  

First I stamped the snowflakes on using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I added the Washi tape.  Next I stamped the tree using Old Olive ink, and then I punched it out with the matching tree punch.  I set the tree in place using Dimensionals.  It was as simple as that!!  

I layered the piece using Smoky Slate card stock and set that layer in place on top of a folded half sheet of Whisper White.

A Wondrous Wreath Christmas Card

Today I thought I would put a card together using the wreath from the "Wondrous Wreath" set.  I don't have this set but I did have an extra wreath made up from a stamping event a while back.  I don't recall why I had an extra one but I did and I hung onto it.  Just like I hung onto the "Merry" from the "Expressions" Thinlit dies.  I had that merry stuck to my laminating machine since last winter.  I didn't want to toss it.  I remembered how difficult it was to remove it from the die.  I didn't have plans for making more so I just wanted to preserve that one for as long as I could.  And I did!  About a year!!!

When this wreath was made I remember stamping the lighter green and then taking another stamp in the set and stamping the darker green.  Then the berries were stamped on top of it all.  This wreath set has tabs so you can get the images lined up right.  The bow is separate.  You stamp it and use the die to cut it out.  That was set in place using Dimensionals.  

My background is a Cuttlebug Snowflake folder.  I found it at JoAnn's and just had to buy it.  I am such a snowflake freak!!!  It was just too adorable to pass up.

The "Merry" is stuck in place because I had run my card stock through my Xyron machine to put sticky stuff on the back side.  I can't imagine trying to glue that thing in place.  What a mess that would be.  

I layered the card with Real Red card stock and that is about it.  It's a simple enough card to make.  There are other words that are in the current Occasions catalog if you wanted to make a card like this without any retired or contraband items!!!

Let it Snow Beaded Christmas Bulb

Today I'm going to share with you my latest creation.  I designed this beaded Christmas bulb.  I am planning on making them for Christmas gifts for my family.  I have two left to make.  I needed a dozen of them!!!  When I was in Portland in October, I made a lot of the belly bands and then when I got home I did the top and the bottom parts.  That is the quick part.  The bulb is easy to make, it just takes a lot of time to do.  I even beaded some of the belly band components on the airplane!  

I also have the pattern all set up for sale in my web store.  My hopes are to get enough patterns to have a book made!  I've been busy beading and creating the step by step pattern. Sometimes I feel like I'm stretching my time to thinly lately!!  And the holidays are upon us too!!! UGH!!!!

I gave my younger sister her bulb today.  I really don't want to wait until Christmas eve to give the bulbs.  I want them to have them early so they can hang them on their trees.

I really think I should also make one for myself!!!  I do like the pattern and this photo does not do the bulb justice.  There's a lot of sparkle to this bulb.  The Rose Montees on it don't even show up well.  They look like black or gray dots. UGH!  I'll try to get a better photo.  Maybe once the tree goes up I can get a photo of one hanging on it with the pretty branches and lights in the background!  It sounds like it will be a pretty photo, doesn't it?  LOL

A Get Your Santa On Christmas Card

As I look at this card, I now wish I had not cut out the Santa.  I am not a fan of fussy cutting anyway but I thought that was what I needed to do.  But now that I see the background, I'm not caring so much for how it turned out.  But what's done is done! I do however, like the words on the side. Those are from the "Petite Pairs" set.  I've used the top wording but never the bottom one before.  It's kind of nice when you use all the stamps in a set, isn't it?  I don't do that very often at all.

The Santa is from the "Get Your Santa On" set.  It's the first time I've used the set.  There's some other cute and fun images in the set that I'm anxious to play with too.

My background paper is from the "Trim the Tree" paper pack.  I thought it would be a festive looking paper to add to my background.  The base of my card is Whisper White and the layer is Garden Green.  There is also some Cherry Cobbler card stock in the layers.   

The words and the Santa layer were set in place using Dimensionals.

I colored in the Santa with markers after I had cut him out.  I have tried to color and then cut but sometimes my fingers would pick up the ink while I was cutting and I would have a mess, so I now cut and then color!

This was a fun card to make and I especially like the words on the left side!  This card, even with the fussy cutting, did not take long at all to make!!!

Ornamental Pine Gate Fold Latch Card

Today I am going to share with you a card that Terri had for her latest Technique Tuesday.  This technique is called the "Gate Fold Latch".  I have never made one before.  And much to my surprise, they are not as difficult as I thought they would be.  Plus they are a really cool looking card too!!!

To make this card you score a piece of 4-1/4" x 11" card stock just 2-3/4" from each end and fold towards the center. 

She used the ovals and scalloped oval to make this card.  You take the scalloped oval and the the oval that is just a bit smaller and tun it through your Big Shot.  Then take the 2nd largest Framelit and run it through the Big SHot to create a matte for your stamped image.  

Next take the 3rd from the largest oval and cut out your card stock to stamp your image on.  

With the card closed, adhere the Scallop frame to just the top half of the card on the top flap.  Adhere the stamped image to the matte and then adhere the matte just to the bottom of the card only.  

The bottom matte slides over the stamped image and when the card is closed it looks like a large frame around the image.  I am going to be showing my sister how to make this and I'll let you know how it goes.  

To make the image on this card click here.  I posted the instructions a couple of days ago.

A Work of Art Festival of Trees

Today I wanted to make a soft looking Christmas or winter card.  I used the Coastal Cabana card stock and ink to achieve it.  I inked up the zig zag image and stamped it in the center of the card stock.  I didn't try to get it perfectly centered, it didn't matter.  Then I moved the stamp down and over and stamped again without inking it up and I moved the image over to the other side and down and stamped again.  Then for the top part I inked up the image, stamped off once and I turned the card stock upside down and stamped the image to one side and then I moved down with the image and stamped it one last time.  That made a total of 5 zig zags on the card.  The ones on the top and bottom are extremely light.  If you click on the photo you will see a larger image of it and you can see that light stamping better. 

Next I took the round image in the set and stamped several dots around the card.  As you can see, some of those are light too.

Then I stamped the words.  Those came from the Petite Pairs set.  Then I textured the card stock.   I set it aside and I stamped and punched out the tree.  Then I set it in place using Dimensionals.  

I taped the textured piece to a folded half sheet of Coastal Cabana card stock and it was done.  Very quick, very simple, and very wintery looking!

An Ornamental Pine Ornament Card

This is not just an ornament card, it's actually an ornament on a card.  It's difficult to see but there is a hole in the dotted layer of card stock where the Baker's Twine is tied to the ornament and the card.  So once you give this pretty card out, the one receiving it will be able to remove the ornament and hang it on the tree!  Terri is SO clever!!!

The "Ornamenal Pine" set was used to make this card.  The pines were stamped first using the Mossy Meadow ink.  Then the pine cone was stamped using Early Espresso.  Another pine cone was stamped using Early Espresso ink again but this pine cone was cut out.  Then pine cone was covered in Crystal Effects.  The Crystal Effects actually turned the pine cone green.  But it was a perfect look for it!  The wet pine cone was set aside to dry.

Then the pine needle image was punched out and then the bulb part was punched out.  One of the tag punches was used to do that.  I had never seen that technique done before.  It was SO clever!!!

The pieces were assembled and added to the card as I described above.

This is such a fun and neat idea!

A World of Dreams and Work of Art Birthday

I found a fun card at Shauna's Card a Day blog, that I just had to "work with".  I didn't have the image she used or the wording either.  SO I began my card with the Work of Art background.  I used Tempting Turquoise instead of the Island Indigo.  I do like that color but I was in the mood for something more bright today.

I used the World of Dreams set for the focal image.  I stamped it using the black Memento ink.  It's my favorite black ink to use now.

I used a couple of strips of decorative paper at the bottom. The scalloped circle layer was set in place using Dimensionals.  The words were done on the computer, punched out, and taped in place on top of a Tempting Turquoise 1-3/8" circle.  

I did have fun making this card.  Anytime I can play with the Work of Art set I have fun!!!  And I REALLY like the Tempting Turquoise color!!

I still have a few more Stamp a Stack cards to show you yet too!  I think this would make a fun Stamp  Stack card!

Wintertime Christmas Card Stamp A Stack

Today's card is another from Terri's very fun Christmas Stamp A Stack.  For this card we used the "Wintertime" set with the "Happy Winter" removed.  I LOVE that whole concept.  In doing that Terri made this stamp more versatile.  Can't you see the image done using silver embossing powder and in the center there's a Mr & Mrs?  Or a "You're Invited".  "Congratulations."  So many possibilities now!!!  It's not just for Christmas anymore!!!  Terry is SO clever!!!  

For this fun, simple and quick card we used Real Red card stock and ink.  We stamped the image and then added the words.  The words needed to be added closer to the bottom center of the image so you could add the bow. I almost centered mine but my sister reminded me to move it down!!!  It would have been okay though, I would have just not added the bow. I would think that the words and that image together could stand alone and be just as stunning.

So, if you're looking for a quick Christmas card to make this year and you have TONS to make, this is the one for you!!!  Pick a color you like, or one you have ribbon to match and get going!!!  I have designed our yearly Christmas card and am in the process of putting them together.  It all takes time, doesn't it?  

I don't have a lot to add about this card because it's such a quick, clean and simple card to make.  It really needs no explanation!!

Festival of Trees Holiday Stamp a Stack

Today's card comes to you from one of Terri's very fun Stamp a Stacks.  This one was the Holiday Stamp a Stack.  One of my favorites!  Oh, come on, who am I kidding?  All of her Stamp a Stacks have been my favorite!  And at each one I try to pick out a favorite card.  It's difficult to do because they are all so fun and fabulous.  

This card was made using Soft Sky card stock.  The image is from the "Festival of Trees" stamp set.  It was stamped on a piece of pre-cut Whisper White card stock using Soft Sky ink and then the strip was put in the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  I LOVE those punches!!!  You can make tags for all of the things you want to put on sale too!!!  Versatile!  I'm keeping mine forever!!

Then we added some rhinestones to the tree and the start at the top.  A piece of Baker's Twine was tied to the top of the tag.  A strip of decorative  paper from the "All is Calm" pack was added to the left side.  Then the tag was set in place using Dimensionals.

This was such a fun and sweet card to make!!  I can't wait to show you the rest of them.

Elf Kisses Gift Box

 Sorry I didn't post yesterday.  I try to post every day but I had a busy day at work, plus I was working out the box for these Elf Kisses.  I wanted to make a new twist on the "Elf Kisses".  I had made some a couple of years back and they were a hit.  You can see that post by clicking here.  I wanted to make them as more of a gift looking item so I created a box for them and then added the elf. I added the poem to the back and filled the box with mint kisses.  

The third photo here shows how the box is cut out.  I cut my Wild Wasabi card stock 6" x 8".  I scored the card stock on the short side at 1", 2" and 5". I turned the card stock and scored on the long side at 2-1/2", 3-1/2", 6", and 7".  Look at your score lines and the third photo and cut away the spaces that need cutting.  You will soon see the flaps and you will need to snip them so they fold in.  

Once you have the box cut and folded, add a 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" piece of window sheet to it.  I glued my piece in.  Glue your box together and you are now ready to decorate it as you wish.  I just used two Framelit squares to outline the window of the box.  I didn't go fancy on it because I didn't have a lot of time to work on it. 

For the elf I used a 2" circle.  The ears are the wings from the Bird Builder punch.  The eyes and nose came from the Owl Builder punch.  The brim of the hat is from the Large Oval punch.  The pompom on the hat is from the Owl Builder punch.  The hands are made using two 3/4" circles.  The had is cut from a piece of card stock.  I cut a 2" square and marked on one edge at the 1" spot.  Then I cut from that spot to the right corner at the opposite end and then I repeated that for the left side.  I did have to trim the bottom of the triangle because it showed under the hat brim.  

The card stock colors are Whisper White, Real Red, and Pirouette Pink. 

I used a marker to color in the eyes. I used the Chalkboard marker to make the freckles and highlight the eyes and top of the nose.  Before I assembled the face, I did sponge around the face, ears, and nose.  I glued all of the pieces together.  I just found it more durable than tape. 

When I was done I printed out the adorable poem and glued it to the back of the box.

I'm sure you can decorate the box much nicer than I did.  I didn't have as much time to spend on it as I would have liked to.  

These are very fun to make and also to give as a little gift for someone special.  Mine is already spoken for!

World of Dreams Thank You Card

I believe I made a card back in September that looked something like this.  I think it was more of a fall looking card with orange colors in it.

Today I needed to make a thank you card.  Actually I need to make several thank you cards.  This is the one I chose to make for today.

I used the "World of Dreams" set to make this card.  I stamped the whole image using Pear Pizzazz ink and then I took a blender pen and removed the ink off the flower tips and colored them in with the Marina Mist marker.  The butterfly is from the Sizzlit die and I just glued it in place.  The words are from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.

I used the Dotted embossing folder and cut a strip off the piece and taped it to the front of the card.  I used the ribbon to hide where the "seam" was.  I set the layer in place using Dimesnionals.

Festival of Trees Christmas Card

Today I was not on a quest for this year's Christmas card.  I saw this card at Linda Higgins stamping blog.   I liked her card but I did change a few things on it.  I didn't like the color of the tree so I used green with a brown stem and then colored in the bulbs on the tree.  I was a bit surprised that those "bulbs" on the stamp weren't deeper.  I picked up a lot of ink in them and had to use my blender pen to remove them before stamping on card stock.  

The tree is from the new "Festival of Trees" set.  It's a clear stamp set.  I like those because you can see through the stamp and know exactly where you are stamping.  I have had problems with my ink beading up on them though.

The stamp set also has a matching tree punch.  You can order them in a bundle and save some money.

I used Soft Sky ink on the background with the Gorgeous Grunge splatter looking stamp.  I also used the new Christmas washi tape on the card. 

The words are from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.  This card has more "balance" than the card I made yesterday.  Oh and I SO love playing with washi tape!!!

The base of the card is a folded half sheet of Lost Lagoon.  That about covers it.

A Festival of Trees Christmas Card

I'm still on the hunt for something that will resemble our family Christmas card.  This one is not it!  I did not like making the trees.  My ink beads up on those clear stamps, plus this card is kind of blah looking.

I used the "Festival of Trees" set for the tree.  "Petite Pairs" for the "Merry Christmas (which I REALLY like how the words look) and the "Northern Flurry" folder (which I also like).  So it's the tree that is bugging me with this card.  Maybe I should find some larger holiday greetings and put them where the upper middle of the tree is!!!  Hmmm, now there's a thought.

I did get to add the brown to the stem of the tree.  I whined about that in my post yesterday.  I had wished I had colored in the the tree trunk.  I did it and I like it but somehow these 3 elements just don't mesh well together.  So off on another quest.

This was a very simple card to make, it just isn't the card for me!

A Bloom with Hope Birthday Card

 Actually it's a "Bloom with Hope" birthday cards!!  I had to make two. My sister-in-laws are twins so they both get the same everything.  It's how it's always been, so who am I to come along and mess with tradition???

I found a fun card on the net and I really wanted to make it because I got to use the "Circle Card" Thinlits Die.  I have not made a card using that die in a VERY long time. And it's not because I don't like the Thinlit, it's because I just have too many stamp sets to use and I when you have too many things to play with, some things get ignored or forgotten!  I found the card on Pinterest.  You can see it here.  The original creator of this card is Linda at Linda's Stampin Escape.  

I used  Bermuda Bay for the base of my card and for the ink.  I also used a blender pen to color in the flowers.  Daffodil Delight was used in the flower centers and the stems are colored in with Old Olive.  

The decorative paper is from the "Lullaby" pack.  It's such a sweet looking pack.  So many soft colors.  I thought the "V" shaped images looked like hearts so I ran with that for my card.

On the inside I used the "Petite Pairs" for the wording.  I punched them out using the 1-1/4" circle punch.  The Bermuda Bay circle was punched out using the 2" punch and the Whisper White circle was punched out using the 2-3/8" circle punch.  

I just taped everything together and it was done.  These cards are such a fun card to make and to give away!   Now to get them in envelopes and ready to deliver tomorrow on their birthdays!

Festival of Trees

I have not posted for a couple of days.  I just needed a little time off.  I try to post every day.  I even set my blog up to pre-post while I went to Portland for most of last week.  I don't like to tell the world I'm not at home until after I get home!!! There's just some things you're not suppose to do!

So onto my card!  My sister brought over this "Festival of Trees" set today and I just had to play with it. I didn't have a plan for the images and I didn't put much thought into playing with it today until after it came.  I thought it would be fun to add some of the new "Trim the Tree" designer paper from the paper stack.  Those stacks are such a great value.  You get 48 sheets with designs on both sides.  How fun is that?  This paper happened to work out that the stripes and the dotted design on the back worked out together for me. Sometimes the one sheet's backside doesn't go with the image in design or color, or some other reason.  But this one sheet was very pleasing to me so I went with it.

I stamped the tree in Garden Green since the paper stack read that Garden Green was the green used in it.  Then I took the dotted image and colored in the "bulbs" with markers and stamped it on the tree.  As I look at it now I wish I would have colored the trunk brown before I stamped the image.  I thought about making another one but I don't think I will since this is not the card I am looking for to use for our yearly Christmas cards.  I have been using photos of snowmen I make outside but this last winter was brutal and when we did have the nice snow I had no desire to go out and play in it. I was fed up with winter and all it had to offer.  So this year I will be making a stamped card!!!

This was a fun card to make with lots of colorful layers.  I LOVE Cherry Cobbler and I think it makes a very rich looking Christmas card.

A Blooming with Hope Birthday Card

I needed to quick whip up a birthday card and trust me, this card was super quick.  I LOVE the "Blooming with Hope" set and I thought I would go with a darker color for fall.  I used the Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon in colors.  I don't often use the in colors enough either.

I punched out a scalloped circle using Blackberry Bliss card stock and the 1-3/8" circle using Lost Lagoon card stock.  

I used Whisper White card stock for the base of the card and then I layered a piece of Blackberry Bliss.  I wish I would have added a thin layer of Lost Lagoon.  I don't think the splatter from "Gorgeous Grunge" and the circle under the words was enough Lost Lagoon.

But all in all it was a fun card to made and a very quick one too!

Another Thank You and the Bokeh Technique

The name of this stamp set makes me laugh.  The name of the stamp set is "Another Thank You."  When I put it in the title of the post it makes it sound like I'm making "another" thank you card.  Well, since this is not the first time I posted a card using this set, I am technically making "another" thank you card.  But I'm actually making another "Another Thank You" card!  Are you still with me?  LOL

This is a very fun technique.  The image here is not as pretty as it is in real life.  The colors blended together much nicer than they look like they do here.  

Paula at "Stampinantics" posted the how to for this technique.

First you take a piece of Whisper White card stock and sponge on some Lost Lagoon ink.  Then sponge on some Smoky Slate.  Punch out different sizes of circles.  Paula recommended using Window Sheets to do that.  My punches didn't punch it very well, so I just used card stock.  I punched out several of the same size because the backs pick up some white ink and you don't want to spread that around. I used three different size circles.

Next you use a sponge dauber and sponge on some Whisper White craft ink.  Heat set it to dry.  You want to make sure it's dry before you add your words or images.  Stamp your words or images using VersaMark and then I embossed using silver embossing powder.  I added some foil circles to the front to give it some more depth!

It's a very fun and easy technique to do.  So if you need "another" thank you card, grab the "Another Thank You" set and go create one!!! LOL

Project Life Holiday Cheer Christmas or Winter Card

I started out calling this a Christmas card and after looking at it, it could be either a Christmas card or just a winter card.  It would make a great winter birthday card as well.  Too bad the fun "Holiday Cheer" set doesn't have birthday greetings in it.  But it's ok, there's lots of other winter and Christmas greetings in it to make many many different cards!!!

I chose this set because of the size of the images.  I LOVE smaller images in sets, it allows you to highlight that little image in a big way using the circle punches as frames.  

I assembled this card much like I did the one I made yesterday except I am working with 3 circles instead of one and I did not use any Dimensionals.  I am REALLY liking this card and I think I could get enough pieces of the decorative paper to make it our Christmas card this year.  The only thing I would need to change is the bow.  I don't want to pay the extra postage to mail the cards.  It gets expensive enough as it is.  

I used a fun bow technique I found at Stampinantics.  You just tie the ribbon around something.  I used my mister bottle. Tie it in a tight knot.  Then slide the bottle off.  Find the center of that loop the bottle created.  Cut that loop in the middle and trim it up.  Take the long ends and wrap them around the back side and tape them in place.  I use both double sided tape and clear one sided tape to do that.  I suppose you could glue it too but that would take a little while to dry.

I stamped my images and then cut them to fit in the circles I created.  I also taped them to the back of the front panel.  No one will see your tape or the pieces of card stock, it will all be hidden behind the folded half sheet of Soft Sky.  I just LOVE how Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon go together so well.  The decorative paper is from the new "All is Calm" paper pack.  It's SO pretty!

I had a great time making this card.  It was fun and wintry!  Not that I'm longing for winter, I just like these colors and they remind me of winter!!!!

Project Life Holiday Cheer Christmas Card

This is one of my favorite layouts and I'm SO happy that Stampin' Up! came out with the fun "Project Life Holiday Cheer" set.  There's lots of little images that fit in that circle!!!  I have made many cards like this and try to every chance I get.  So when I see a stamp set that has smaller images I tend to purchase them!  I was thinking of our family Christmas card when I ordered that set.  This card is not in the running but I do like it.

I also used the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set for the words.  There are words in the set but none that would fit within the Word Window Punch area.

The decorative paper is from the "Trim the Tree" designer series paper stack.  One sheet from the pack will make two cards like this.  

They layers on the card go as follows beginning from the top to the card base.

The top layer is cut from decorative paper that measures 3-7/8" x 2-7/8".  The next layer is Crisp Cantaloupe and measures 4" x 3".  The Whisper White piece is cut 4-1/2" x 3-1/2".  And the Cherry Cobbler is cut from a half sheet of card stock.  This piece as cut on the 8-1/2" side and the fold is at the top.

I stamped the mittens on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock and used Dimensionals to set it in place over the opening.  The decorative panel and layer were set in place on the Whisper White card stock using Dimensionals.  Be careful not to get any on the scrap piece of Whisper White or the layer will sit too tall in the middle.  Then that Whisper White piece was just taped to the Cherry Cobbler piece.

I used Garden Green for the Modern Label piece.  I also used markers to color in the mittens.

Such a fun and easy card to make and it didn't take very long to do either!

Thank you SO much for stopping on by today,
