Peaceful Season

I love this set!!

This card was cased from Dawn Olchefske, a fellow Demo.

The holly was inked up with Always Artichoke Ink. I then removed the ink from the berries with a blender pen and colored them with Cherry Cobbler. This was stamped and stamped again to get the double stamped effect.

Next I inked up the sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamped on the front of the card. There is a small Basic Rhinestone dotting the "I" in greetings.
The botom of the card was punched with the Pinking Hearts border punch and a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock was placed under this to make it stand out against the Always Artichoke card base. Always Artichoke seam binding is tied on the front for an embellishment.

The inside of the card has a white copy paper Top note die cut to make the verse from Many Merry Messages more visible. I inked up the holly image again as I did for the front of the card and stamped off before stamping onto the Top note die cut. I repeated the stamped off image on the envelope to tie everything together.




Have a great day!

Note Cards and Giftbox

This is a cute note card set I cased from this site:

http://unfrogettablestamping.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/08/fabulous-designer-paper-project.html

I used mostly the same things but left out the Basic Gray paper. I found it to be very simple and fun to do.






















This set will be a hostess gift for a function I am going to.

Thanks for stopping by!

Heart of Hearts, A card from an error.....BONUS!

This is a card that I created from a missed roll with the Very Vintage jumbo wheel when I was trying to wheel the background for the card in my last post. I used the blender pens and Ruby Red and Old Olive classic inks to color the parts of the image that were salvageable.

I then used the full heart punch and punched out three hearts, layered them onto the black Scalloped Heart of Hearts cut with the Big Shot and the new embosslet from the new Occaisions Mini catalogue. These were strategically placed onto some Ruby Red cardstock. This was placed on a strip of Whisper White that has been punched with the Pinking hearts border punchon both the upper and lower rdges. Then it was all placed onto a basic black card base. The sentiments are from the With all My Heart stamp set that is also available in the new mini catalogue. It was a nice mistake and a very striking card.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.

FINALLY! I got to play....

Well I finally found the time and my back has permitted me to play for a bit today. I've had some of the new items from the new mini catalogue just crying for me to come play with them.
This card is one of the results!

I think this should fit the sketch for the Stamping 411 challenge as well.

I really like how it looked in the end.

It uses a bashful blue card base, I played some with the new pinking hearts punches; will have to practice alot more with these; on Melon Mambo cardstock, the background is DSP from the SAB paper pack, Welcome Neighbor, I LOVE the new Extra Large Two Step Bird punch, this is also from the SAB paper pack. Melon Mambo ribbon and the sentiment comes from one of the new stamp sets; Well Scripted. Hope you like it!

I also have to say that I love the new clear mount stamps and am sooo happy that SU has finally gone this way. The storage system for these is so great as well, much more efficient use of precious space. :-)

I did make a few more things that I will share with you later in the week.

Thank you for your patience and for stopping by.
