I want to apologize if you were looking for a post yesterday. I have been on vacation and though (Haha) that I was scheduled through yesterday. Well , you know how that goes…..I was wrong. But I am back now and with a special card.
Today is our 38th Wedding Anniversary! It really does not seem possible. But here we are. So I made a cute card for my hubby. We are not into gifts anymore and usually go for humor.
Love You To Pieces, 147392
It is more “cute” than anything, but fits us perfectly. On a side note: How do you lose a complete set of dies? I know I purchased this as the bundle, but the dies are not to be found!! A nice tip though is that it is really easy to fussy cut these puzzle pieces. Although it helps if you do not wait until the very last minute and then realize you cannot find the dies!
I kept the card very plain, only two base colors and then the bit of coloring on the heart shape. I love Night Of Navy with almost anything. This time I have paired it with Gray Granite. A great new gray.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I appreciate it more than you know. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.
I have used one of the stamp sets from the Holiday Catalog that is not necessarily a holiday set. That sounds confusing! The set is the First Frost Stamp set. It has beautiful floral and sentiment stamps. It also pairs wonderfully and expectedly with the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper. The paper is shimmery and just gorgeous.
Frosted Floral , 148420
I have an odd, odder than normal, layout and a mixture of colors. All of the colors came from this designer series paper. I love the thistle on here. It reminds me of Scotland. And I unintentionally made a Scottish cross with the glimmer paper. I really did not plan that. I was just trying to add some glimmer but not be just a straight piece and to ground the sentiment.
The colors are all from the DSP. To mimic the thistle on the paper, I colored the stamp with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker and then used the Blackberry Bliss one to go over the end of the bud and the little side pieces.
Thank you for visiting today! I appreciate it and hope you will return. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I have another Christmas card today. This one is a square card and clean / simple type. I paired the Timeless Tidings with Many Blessings.
Timeless Tidings, 148936
I can envision this card made even smaller and used as a gift card or a RAK card. For this one I used Thick Whisper White as the base and then just layered a piece from Under The Mistletoe DSP.
The stamped wreath image is from Many Blessings. It is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink and colored with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink as well. It s punched with the Tailored Tag Punch. The only extra step was rounding the corners of the wreath layer with the Detailed Trio Punch.
As I said, this is just a quick and easy card. I appreciate you visiting today and hope you will return. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.
For today’s card I have made one with the sweetest sentiment! Not candy cane sweet like Wednesday’s card. This one has a very nice and loving type sentiment. This sentiment is what originally sold me on the set. That and the wreath. I love wreaths!!
Making Christmas Bright Bundle, 149947
Did you read the sentiment? I am totally in love with this one. I have for many years considered several long time friends as family. So to me this sentiment is especially true! Friends make every season shine.
Once again I have a funky layout and bright designer series paper. I am a creature of habit. The designer series paper is from the 2018-2020 In Color 6 X 6 paper stack. It is Call Me Clover. I have paired it with one of my favorite new colors, Mango Melody. I can almost see you shaking your heads because I use it fairly often! LOL !!
To add a touch of “shine” to the card, I used the Joyous Noel Glimmer paper in Copper. It was the closest to the colors I used. This pack of Glimmer paper also is a 6 X 6 stack. I like to add anywhere from 1/4″ to 1″ of the glimmer paper to a card to just add a touch of sparkle.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate it and love to read your comments. The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have an awesome day!
Today’s card is another quick and easy card that could have a variety of sentiments attached when needed. It showcases the gorgeous Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper and the Many Blessings stamp set.
Many Blessings, 147775
This versatile and gorgeous stamp set is inspired by Million Dollar Sales Achiever Ruth Snyder. It covers Christmas, Fall, and Spring/Summer. Also, since it is a special set, you can assume it will be carrying over after the Holiday Catalog is completed. WooHoo!! I know I will be utilizing it often. Actually I already have used it several times.
My photograph does not do the DSP justice. It is a frosted glimmer in gray. I apologize that it doesn’t really look that way in the picture. I made the focal point small to optimize the beautiful DSP. I love this type layout for small and mighty stamps!
I used Stampin’ Up!’s little trick from the Blends video. I stamped the image in Smoky Slate. By stamping in a softer color, when you apply your colors it looks like a “no line” picture. I also used the color lifter on the center of the pot to lighten the color somewhat. I am not a great blender, but these Stampin’ Up! blends make it so easy.
Thank you very much for stopping by today! I do really appreciate it. All of the products I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
