Merry Christmas

Hey there! I know...Christmas in August?! I don't normally make Christmas cards this early, but I needed an idea for my recent team color challenge (Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia, and Pear Pizzazz) and for some reason I grabbed this set. I was a little apprehensive about these colors for a Christmas card but I am loving how it came out. The colors totally work! What do you think?

Do you decorate the inside of your cards? I don't usually. I mainly stamp the inside of if I'm making Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Birthday cards. I kind of like the stamped inside though...I may have to do it more often.

Love you, friend!

 Hey there! I took a few weeks off to enjoy some time with my little family and enjoy my birthday month! I'm happy to be back with a new tutorial for you. I actually filmed this tutorial at the beginning of July. This card was designed for my teams color challenge. We needed to create and share a project featuring Pacific Point (I never really use this color), Balmy Blue, and Crushed Curry. I thought this was going to be a difficult combo but this card came together quite quickly.

Hey there! I have a cute project idea for you featuring the retiring Above the Clouds Bundle. A couple of weeks ago, we had a team color challenge using Merry Merlot, Soft Sea Foam, and Rococo; this is the card I created for the challenge.

Whisper White layer 3" x 3.5"

Helpful Tips:

• Stamp the balloon line image, onto Whisper White cardstock, using Rococo Rose and Merry Merlot ink. Stamp off once to create a light shade using the filler image for each balloon.
• Adhere the Merry Merlot balloon flat and pop up the basket using a mini dimensional. Pop up the Rococo Rose balloon and basket.
• Stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink, cover with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set using the Stampin' Heat Tool.

Simple Joys of the Season

 

Happy Thursday! I have a beautiful holiday card to share with you today. I think this is the earliest I've ever made a Christmas project, ever! Crazy to already be thinking about the holidays. Time goes by so fast...sigh...

This week my teams color challenge was to use Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, and Merry Merlot. I thought these colors would come together well for a Christmas card. I pulled out the lovely Christmas Pines stamp set + Pretty Pines thinlit dies for this card. I'm definitely love'n the clean simplicity of this card. Clean and simple is my new jam!☺

Merry Merlot layer 3-1/8" x  4-1/8"

Whisper White layer 3" x 4"

Helpful Tips:

• On your whisper white cardstock, ink up the less bold pine image in pool party. Stamp it off on scratch paper and then stamp it on your whisper white. Do this several times to create a light background on this layer.
• Loop gold metallic thread behind your sentiment to add a pop of shine and elegance.
• Jazz up your envelope flap with some designer paper (Under the Mistletoe).

Here's to Celebrating You

Happy Tuesday! I'm excited to share today's project with you! I just love the color combo so much. Last week my teams color challenge was to use Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, and Night of Navy. Such fun colors together. I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets from the occasions catalog, Perennial Birthday.

HOST CODE- F264V2PY

Perennial Birthday Stamp Set- ORDER HERE

Helpful Tips:

• Stamp the single flower image on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock in Flirty Flamingo ink. Punch the flower images out using the 1" circle punch. Pop the images up using dimensionals to add some depth.
• Wrap bakers twine around your card stock layers several times. Tie the twine in a bow.

Project Measurements

Night of Navy card base 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5"

Today's project was inspired by my team's color challenge last week:

Calypso Coral

Daffodil Delight

Gold Foil

Old Olive

This combo doesn't look like much at first glance but when I started creating the card I loved the way the colors complimented one another. The hint of daffodil really stands out and pops!

I used the 3D Layered Leaves embossing folder to complete the floral look.

Pansy Punch Thank You

I love today's card because it features some fun colors and uses one of the very first stamp sets I got when I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Flower Shop.

Project Measurements Basic Gray card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25" Basic Gray layer 3.75" x 5"

Helpful Tips:

• When adding layers the same color as your card base, ink the edges in the coordinating ink color to add easy dimension to the layer.
• Heat emboss in white to help the sentiment pop on darker cardstock.
