Hi! Remember this card???? We are going to be stamping this card at my annual Holiday Stamp-A-Stack this weekend. For this card, I actually used Crystal Effects with Dazzling Diamonds for the center of the flowers, instead of Stickles. I like how the Crystal Effects turned out better.

I have 3 more cards to show, so please check back on Saturday, Sunday & Monday!!!

Supplies:

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Christmas Punch, Season of Joy (for the flower)

Ink: Certainly Celery, Real Red

Paper: Certainly Celery, Real Red, Whisper White

See you on Saturday!

A Pretty Christmas Card

Happy Thursday to you!!! I wanted to make another card using the tree from Lovely as a Tree and the small red poinsettia flower. To make the red flowers really pop again, I used Certainly Celery ink for the tree. The sentiment from the Christmas Punch set is cut out, so that I could layer Real Red behind it, which is punched from the Wide Oval Punch. And what about the embossing folder?...just beautiful! It's available in the Holiday Mini Catalog. To add a little bling, I added some Stickles (from a craft store), to each flower. It adds a bit of sparkle to the card. I really like how this card turned out!! It has alot of layers, but I think it's pretty!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Christmas Punch, Season of Joy (for the flower)
Ink: Certainly Celery, Real Red
Paper: Certainly Celery, Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Stickles (non-SU)

See you soon!

Pretty Tree!

Hi! I saw an idea on Julie's blog, Paper Pleasing Ideas. She used the tall tree from Lovely As A Tree, and stamped a flower on the tree. It was so pretty, so I wanted to recreate her card using Real Red and Sahara Sand. You can see Julie's card here. The tree gets a little washed out by the lighting in the picture, but it really shows up in real life. (I will figure out my camera one of these days!!) But it's light enough to really make the flowers pop!! Julie used the poinsetta from the Christmas Punch Hostess set. I used a Real Red marker so that I only inked up the poinsetta from the stamp. I thought it would tedious and time-consuming to stamp the flower, but it wasn't bad at all. But if you have the Season of Joy stamp set, the little flower in that set will work perfectly for this card!! The DSP is the retired Dashing DSP. I'm sure there are a few of us who have a stash of this paper!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely As A Tree, Christmas Punch, Best Yet
Ink: Sahara Sand, Real Red
Paper: Sahara Sand, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Dashing DSP (retired)
Accessories: Silver Brads, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!

Kind of FTL47!...Lovely as a Tree

Hi! For this card, I actually started using the Fall-to-Layout #47 on the Clean & Simple Blog, but it ended up going in a slightly different direction. But I like it!

One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is receiving FREE stamps!! We all love free stuff...especially stamps!!! The sentiment I used on this card is from a set that I just received free as a reward from Stampin' Up! It's called On Your Birthday! It has some great sentiments in it! A stamper can never have enough word stamps!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, On Your Birthday
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Confetti White, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Windsor Knot DSP (retired)
Accessories: Circle Scissors Plus, Dimensionals

I don't know if you have noticed or not, but the last several projects that I have posted, did not have ribbon...Gasp!!! I know! I can't believe it!!! I didn't think it was possible to create anything without ribbon!!! Ha! Ha!

Have a good one!
