Many Merry Messages simply done

Have you heard?!! The stocking punch is NOT carrying on to the main catty, it is only while supplies last, so if you haven't bought and you still want it you better get on it.

• Card base is Naturals Ivory, the Happy Holidays is stamped with Wild Wasabi directly to the base.
• The Stockings were punched from Frostwood Lodge DSP as well as Wild Wasabi CS, the CS was run through the Big Shot with the Snowburst folder before punching.
• Stockings are popped up on Dimensionals.

Another fast and simple card.

Winter Window

I have seen so many windows, doors, awnings and fireplaces as card fronts and I think they can make an interesting card, here is my window.

• The card base is Marina Mist.
• The phrase from Four the Holidays was stamped with Marina Mist on a Whisper White front that was then embossed with the Big Shot using the Snow Burst folder.
• The image was stamped on a square of Whisper White, I stamped the tree line from Lovely As A Tree near the top of the square and the sledding children from Welcome Christmas at the bottom. I the cut the square in half both directions.
• The window pane is a square of the wood grained DSP from Frostwood Lodge, I layered my 4 image squares on it and the added a small strip of DSP as the window sill.

I really the window card.

Welcome Christmas

This card is so much better in real life, the season's Greetings is so sparkly, I mixed my Cherry Cobbler embossing powder with my fine red glitter and made myself sparkly embossing powder. The Whisper White was sprayed with Shimmer Paint Spray.

• The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Always Artichoke.
• I ran the top 3/4 of a 3 3/4"x5" piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot with the Snow Burst folder. Then the greeting from Many Merry Messages was stamped in Versa Mark and embossed with embossing powder. Cherry Cobbler ribbon was wrapped around it and it was added to the front.
• I stamped the family from Welcome Christmas on a scrap of Whisper White in Always Artichoke and punched it with the 2 1/2" circle and sponged the edges with Always Artichoke.
• A 3" Circle was ran through the Big Shot with the Petals a Plenty folder and the image was then layered on top of it and the added to the card front.

Autumn Days

My daughter's wedding is fast approaching and there is still so much to do!  I have had very little time to keep up with my blog.  In less then three weeks she will be married!

I tried to make an Autumn card, I even pulled out my only autumn stamp set, Autumn Days, it ended up Christmas instead.

• The card base is Very Vanilla
• I used a 2 1/2" circle for my image and a 1 3/8" one for the phrase cut from Very Vanilla.
• I used markers to color the image on the stamp and stamped it in the center of the circle, I colored it again and stamped it onto a scrap and then cut the pine cones out and layered them over the first image with Dimensionals. I used Garden Green and Real Red to color the two words and stamped it in the center of the smaller circle.
• I used a 3" and 1 3/4" circles cut from Garden Green and run through the Big Shot with the new Snow Burst folder. I layered my image and phrase onto the circles.
• I cut a strip of DSP from the Holly Berry Bouquet collection, layered it onto Chocolate Chip CS.
• I ran a square of Real Red through the Big Shot in the Petals-a-plenty folder.
• I layered the square on the base then the DSP, then the circles.
• After I put it together I decided that the branch needed a bow so I added a 1/8" taffeta bow in real red. I added a little bit of Dazzling Details to the pine cones to give them a little sparkle.

On to today's card!

• The card base is Whisper White with a Marina Mist front that was ran through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry folder. I then punched it with the Word Window punch.
• I stamped the image of the little girl on Watercolor paper with Stazon and then colored her with Watercolor Wonder Crayons and an Aqua Painter. The colors I used were Regal Rose, Rich Razzleberry, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy and Garden Green.
• The image was layered onto Not Quite Navy and then onto Whisper White.
• Merry Christmas was stamped onto the base through the Word Window opening using Not Quite Navy.
