Another Christmas Card

 Hello friends.  I have another Christmas card to share today. Several are going in the mail today and others will be hand delivered.

I  cut an ornament from white card stock using my Silhouette to use the negative for a stencil, but also wanted to use the cut out.  I glued strips of blue pattern paper (from an old 4x6 paper pad) on the ornament, cutting off the overhang, and then had to decide how to use it.  I embossed a white panel with Spellbinders Christmas Tile 3D EF and mounted it to a panel of SU Soft Sky (ret.), as it matched the pattern paper.  I cut the joy from gold foil using a die from an older Hero Arts Joy Stamp & Die set.  The ornament topper was cut using a Spellbinders die.  I cut a narrow strip of gold for the hanger.  I added 2 plain layers to the back of the ornament and mounted it to the embossed panel.  The sentiment is from MFT Filled With Joy Stamp & Die set, stamped on Soft Sky in Basic Gray ink, and mounted with foam tape.  All this was mounted to a white card base and I really like the finished card.

I will send this to Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge where they are celebrating their 100th challenge.

Congratulations to Diane & Darlene and the design team.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

New Christmas Card

 Hello friends.  I have a new Christmas card to share today.

I used some new items for my card.  The plaid paper is by Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) and the white shape is cut with Papertrey Ink Love to Layer: Soft Ridges die and the sentiment is also by PTI Reflections: October.  The poinsettia and foliage is from Scrapbook.Com Christmas Joy die set.  I really like the finished card and will be making more.

I am linking to Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge (did not use their Mood Board)

A Big Congrats to Peace on Earth challenge as this is their 100th challenge.

and also Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used all these items.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Merry Christmas

 Hello friends.  I have a new Christmas card to share today.  I have been working on Christmas cards and was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and also the green & white from the Mood Board at Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge.

All supplies are retired SU products but I still have them and wanted to use them.  I changed the colors and the sentiment panel from the original card.  The poinsettia and foliage is from SU Poinsettia Petals die set.  I cut 2 medium layers and one small layer, shaped the petals and glued them together.  I added a center cut from gold foil, as is the berry sprig.  The leaves are cut from Mossy Meadow.  The glitter gold is from Be Dazzling 6x6 pack.  The pattern paper is from Whimsy & Wonder 12x12 pack.  The sentiment from Peaceful Plaid is stamped in Mossy Meadow and die cut with a die from Timeless Arrangements dies, and mounted with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Another Christmas Card

 I am slowly getting some Christmas cards done before the rush and I have one to share today.

ETA:  My card was chosen as one of the Top 3 picks at Peace on Earth.

I used some new dies to make my card - Birch Press Holly Sprig Contour Layers and Penny Black Classy Frames.  I die cut all of them from white and colored the Holly Sprig with Copics.  The white frame is the middle frame of the set.  The larger mat is the center cut out from the largest frame and stamped with a sentiment from SU Brightest Glow (ret.).  I blended some Crumb Cake ink around the edges.  I mounted the frame piece with foam tape on a mat embossed with Spellbinders Scattered Christmas EF, and then to a thin mat of SU Real Red.  I will probably make more of these for Christmas as I really like it.

I will link my card to the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge.

 

 

Also to Darnell's NBUS as this is my first time using these 2 new dies.
