Snow and Winterberries

I think one of the prettiest winter images is fallen snow - especially  on tree branches.  Even more amazing is how they can clump on the tiniest of things like the little red berries.  I tried to recreate that here with some things from the Classy Cards 'n Such store.  

I wanted my card to be shimmery white and red so I started with a white card base and added the Our Daily Bread Designs Vintage Flourish Pattern in Shimmering White. The Poppystamps Holiday Winterberries was cut out of water color paper twice and colored with the red and green colors from the Twinkling H2O's Thankful set. After I adhered the two branches of the winterberries using Art Institute glue to a popped up frame, I added "snow" with the Ice White Viva Decor Pearl Pen and some sparkling Stickles. The verse from ODBD Faith is stamped in black and then clear embossed.

Starry Merry Christmas

Hi, Joy here for the Classy Cards 'n Such weekly challenge.  Today we were to have stars in our project.  So I combined one of my favorite stamps sets with stars.

The cardinal is from Christmas Joy from Sweet 'n Sassy and the sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments by Impression Obsession.  The cardinal was quickly fussy cut after I added a dot of Viva Decor Pearl Pen to add dimension to his eye.  A Small Joy Foam Pad was added behind the chest area of the cardinal to give a popped up look.  This was a quick, quick card - and easy.

Today would be a great day to join in the Star Challenge. Just click here and look at the details for the challenge. Be sure to check out what the other design team members did. Then link your project. You could be the winner of a nice prize!

Thanks for looking at my card.   Have a Happy Stamping Day!

O Holy Night

Hello! It's Diana here to share a card I made with you for this week's Angel challenge. I love the soft neutral colors in the inspiration photo so instead of stamping in my usual black ink, I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Silver Detail embossing powder my lyrics from Our Daily Bread Designs Snowflake Stars. I then popped it up with Small Joy! foam pads after die-cutting it with a stitched circle above a embossed layer (Cuttlebug Musical Flourish embossing folder). The tag elements are from My Favorite Things Blueprints 13.

I did a bit of creative piecing to make my angel: the body is simply a tall triangle and the wings are vellum die cut with the PoppyStamps Cheviot Butterfly. I added some stickles to the wings and a halo and pearls using the Ice White Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas, Deer!

Diana here getting a head start on Christmas cards this year.  It's only 3 months away!

For this Christmas card, and this week's challenge with the deer inspiration, I went with the colors, as well as making a scene with deer.

To start, I matted my die-cut using the large stitched die from MFT Blueprints 13, using the large die from the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and red card stock. 

The scene consists of the following dies: Impression Obsession Evergreen Trees, PoppyStamps Forest Deer, Impression Obsession Merry Christmas, and lots of Joy! Small Foam Pads. 

I used the Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive with the Art Institute Metal Tip, to adhere the thin lettering. 

The deer were cut from watercolor paper and colored with watercolor Brush Pens. After it dried, I went back and added the white markings with a white gel pen.

To make the snow on the trees, I used the Ice White - Viva Decor Pearl Pen and White Detail embossing powder. While the pearl pen was still wet, I add the powder and then used a heat gun to set it. The pearls bubbled up a bit - and I loved that the powder was not nice and clean - I couldn't make the scattered snow if I tried. 

Thanks for looking and I hope you get a chance to play along this week!

Pennington Wedding

Hello!  Diana here to share with you a wedding card I made for this week's Autumn Wedding #101 challenge. I was inspired by the colors in the middle picture, and I thought it would be great to just have the word love for the card.

The roses are the Memory Box Pennington Rose, above parts of the Open Scroll Leaf by Impression Obsession, and Memory Box Bamboo Shoots.

The lacy background is the large die in the  Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight.

I also added some self adhesive White Baby Pearls, under the back of Spellbinders Metal Crafts Foil. I die cut the word "Love" by Penny Black, as well as adding some oval shaped pearls in the corner with the Ice White Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Thank you so much for looking and I hope you can play along!
