Merry Christmas

Hi, Diane with you today!

I have been enjoying making my Christmas cards this year. So many beautiful dies and stamps to work with. The only problem is choosing which ones!

I saw this brand  new, just released stamp set from JustRite, called Multi-Step Poinsettia and knew it would be fun to work with!

The set comes with a number beside each stamp, making it easy for you to stamp by number, basically allowing you a fool proof layering of stamps.

I stamped myself a template of sorts first, as I wanted to make sure when I stamped it on card stock, I had it in the proper arrangement of top of the flower and the bottom. Now I can just look at my sample and know which is up and which is down I hope this makes sense, but I just didn't want to stamp the base and then have my flower upside down.

I stamped the Poinsettia in two different colors of reds, and the leaves and veins in two colors of greens. A Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen was used to give a bit of sparkle to the flower veins.

The background paper is from Authentique Believe 6" x 6" paper pad.

I die cut the pattern you see on white card stock using the Memory Box Distressed Windham Collage die.

The sentiment is from the same Poinsettia set, stamped in VersaMark, then embossed with Ranger Embossing Tinsel.

A bit of sparkle was added with Silver Rock Candy.

Tea Time

Hello, Diane with you today!

I have a pretty card to share that would be good for a tea loving friend.

 

I started with a pretty piece of somewhat vintage looking Rose paper from the Joy! 6" x 6" Romance paper pad for one side, and a piece of cream card stock embossed using Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing folder for the other side. A scrap of green ribbon was adhered down between the two.

I know they are not even pieces, but I purposely intended that, as I wanted to show more of the pretty designer paper.

The embossed oval is Sue Wilson Kefalonia from the Greek Island Collection.

I cut two sets of the PoppyStamps Teapot Stack, one for the outline and one to fill in the negative space of the teapots.

I added dots around the teapots, and colored the edge, as well of the oval using Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

I adhered a pretty pink sheer bow which I then added Pink Mini Rose Buds. Under each Rose I added tiny little leaves from Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster.

To finish Le Creme Pearls were added.

Power of Pumpkins

Good afternoon, friends.  Mindy with you today to share my card for this week's inspiration challenge on our blog, titled Feeling Fall-ish!

My card, for the Power of Pumpkins is inspired by the beautiful white pumpkins in the photo. There are so many wonderful pumpkin flavored food and drinks available now that fall is here. (I think my favorites are the pumpkin coffee's and the pumpkin ice creams.)

To start my harvest card, I took a piece of the Echo-Bronze Stardream Metallic paper, from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store, and using the Distressed Addington Collage die by Memory Box, cut two panels out of the bronze stock. I popped this panel up on the card base with two layers of Joy! Large Foam Pads to give the card lots of dimension.

I then cut six oval shapes with a classic oval die in two sizes for my pumpkins, along with one Open Scroll Leaf die from Impression Obsession. The pumpkins were highlighted with a little Wink of Stella Glitter Pen, and grounded with a strip of the Woodland Border by PoppyStamps.

To complete my card, I  stamped the sentiment from the I Am Thankful stamp set from Impression Obsession, die cut with an decorative oval die, and then highlighted with the glitter pen.

Thank you for joining me today, and I hope you will join in our challenge this week.

Poppy Thanks

Good afternoon friends!  I ordered some new paper from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store, and could hardly wait to break it open!

The first one I opened was Heartfelt Creations Blazing Poppies Paper Pad. This 12x12 pad is full of gorgeous paper and tags (I'm a real sucker for the tags).

Here is my first card. This won't be the only card from this gorgeous paper pad.

I used the embossing folder called Smitten, by Anna Griffin, on some poppy colored paper from the 6x6 pad by Graphic 45 called Home Sweet Home. I cut out one of the tags from the Heartfelt Creations 12x12 Blazing Poppies Paper Pad.

The "Thanks"  is from Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  The twine is from the Doodle Twine - Sweet Cakes Valentine Assortment - that's on sale right now in the Classy Cards 'n Such online store. I covered the poppies and the thanks with some Wink of Stella.

Have a Happy stamping day!
