Quick and simple Christmas card

 

Welcome! So glad you have stopped by today. I made one of the most simple Christmas cards ever! This card would be great to mass produce. When I first started stamping with peaceful nativity stamp set I thought how Jesus is the most important part of the scene. So why not put the highlight on Him. You do not even need the dies to create this card although you do get 10% off when you purchase bundle and the dies are really cute!

I feel this card is pretty straight forward, all you need is  momento black ink, daffodil delight ink pad, sponge, whisper white card stock and black card stock. I used the 1 inch hole punch to create a mask for the sponging of the yellow and stamped the star from the set on the sentiment. I did add a little wink of stella to baby Jesus. Thank you for coming by today and checking out my quick and simple card. Just stamps, paper and ink. Have a beautiful week!

Blessings to you all!

Mini paper pumpkin box of cards

 

Hi stamping friends! Welcome and so glad that you are here today. I finally had a chance to create a gift box with the mini paper pumpkin box. They are so adorable!  I used the whale done bundle to create cards and the box. Between the dsp, embossing folder and stamp set this was so quick and easy to make.

I only made 5 Stampin up notecards  with matching envelopes yet, there was room for twice and many. I think this would be really cute with some tea bags and so candy as well. 

I have taken a picture of each of the cards. Notice how the paper is so cute you do not need to do much.  And the paper  design is perfect for small cards. 

The sentiments in the stamp set are versatile enough that they make a great pack of cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to create a collection of cards with the stamp sets you have. They make great gifts! 

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the starter kit promotion. 

 

Whale Done!

 

Hello and welcome to my blog! I wanted to share with you a fun card that I created with the whale done bundle. You will want all the goodies in this bundle. For this card I used the whale of a time dsp, seabed embossing folder, whale done stamp set and punch. The card was simple to create and the only stamping that I did was the greeting.

The whale was from the dsp and I just used the punch to cut it out. The bubbles above the whale are also from the punch. I did use shimmery crystal effects which I found very hard to photograph, sorry. It adds a beautiful shine and dimension. Thank you again for stopping by! Have a blessed weekend!

Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder

  Hello! I am so glad that you are here!  Today I have made my first Christmas card for the season. I really wanted to play with the evergreen forest 3D embossing folder . I tried one of my favorite techniques with the embossing folders, rubbing in on it before putting card stock in and running it through the die machine. This time I also sprayed a little water and used watercolor paper. I really love how the water moves the colors around. And let me just say this embossing folder is beautiful! I was also excited to use the snowflake splendor dsp. Wow, if you like water color and snowflakes this paper is so amazing! I love every piece and every side of this paper.

 
Here is a close up of the card. I also added wink of stella to the trees for a little shimmer. It is really hard to get a good picture of the shine. For the greeting I water colored a scrap and when it dried stamped from the greeting from for unto us stamp set. I always love a beautiful spiritual greeting for Christmas and this set has so many gorgeous stamps! Have you made any Christmas cards yet? I really want to start and create some fall cards. I love the color palette for fall. I just wish it was starting to feel like fall in Southern California. I long for a little cooler weather. Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed rest of your week!

Making a Porthole

 Hi Stampers! So glad that you are here! Today I said a prayer for all those who gave their lives 19 years ago in 9/11  and to all the people who lost family members on that day. With all the turmoil in our country lately I think that it is important to remember when we came together in solitude and return to that place in our hearts. I know we can do it, starting with all of us!

My card today is my attempt to make a porthole with the shaped stitched dies and the whale of a time suite.

I apologize for the picture, with the fires in Southern California we have had a smoke layer that is covering our sun and so my pictures are turning out a little darker than usual. I started with using the shaped stitched dies for the porthole shape and then used the same for the piece of whale of a time dsp. I fussy cut out a few of the sea animals to add to the scene.

Then I adhered a few sequins, covered the entire piece with a circle of window sheet. It was really hard to get a picture so that you could see the sheet.

For the rivets I used pearls that I colored with bronze stampin blend. Stampin Up does carry metallic pearls but I didn't have any and so I had to improvise. I mounted it all on in good taste dsp for the look of the inside of the boat. The foam adhesive strips worked great for the round shape of the window. This was such a fun card to make. Thank you so much for stopping by and I pray that you have a blessed day and weekend!

 Hi stamping friends! Today's card uses the whale done stamp set. I have to believe it is one of the most popular stamp sets in the new catalog. I finally broke out the embossing folder that coordinates with the set. It is so cute and I am thinking of so many more uses for it.

This was a very quick and easy card. The base of the card is balmy blue and the images are stamped in balmy blue, pool party and calypso coral. Using the stitched shape dies in different sizes and the sentiment is white heat embossed with the stitched so sweetly dies, cut out. This card would be fun with so many different color combos. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon! Blessings!
