Blackberry Christmas Glimmer


I'm a huge fan of non-traditional Christmas colors on cards.  Green and Red are great, don't get me wrong, but I love to use colors you might not expect on winter themed projects.
This card uses Wisteria Wonder (one of my all time faves) and Blackberry Bliss.
Do you just love those snowflakes in the background?  Do you recognize the stamp??  
It's actually from the Seasonally Scattered set and says "merry" surrounded by snowflakes.  With careful placement the sentiment is covered, but the snowflakes shine through as an awesome background for our elegant trees.
Festival of Trees is probably my favorite set right now!  I love the images, love the fact that it's photopolymer and it has a matching punch!  The best part is you can bundle the stamp set and punch together and save 15% which makes this bundle only $27.95!  That's right!  A punch AND a stamp set!  I'm digging it! I love saving money just as much as the next person : )
It's hard to see it's beautiful sparkle, but that tree in the front is actually punched from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  The trees along side it are stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink on Wisteria Wonder card stock and punched out.  Stamp your 'merry' sentiment first in Blackberry Bliss on your piece of Whisper White card stock.  Stamp your "Be Joyful" in Blackberry Bliss as well.  That sentiment comes from a Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set.  Another photopolymer it makes placement for perfect stamping a breeze.  
I used SNAIL adhesive to adhere the two Wisteria Wonder trees on top of my snowflakes.  The Glimmer Paper tree however is popped up on a dimensional.

This beautiful card will be part of my Christmas Stamp a Stack this month. So you can create 3 of these as well as 3 other designs for a total of 12 cards!  Class fee is only $15 or place a minimum order with me that day and you'll get your cards for free!

Grateful for Fall


Yesterday was World Card Making Day and I spent it with my fabulous upline at the Gettysburg Outlets sharing my love for card making!  We made a card using this same set, For All Things.  It's just beautiful and makes creating a simple, yet stunning card beyond easy.
 
I used the Hardwood Stamp for the background on this card in Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake Card Stock.  Add your sentiment with Early Espresso ink and it will complete the rustic look to this fall-feel card. For those who joined my Stamp of the Month Club last month, this was the stamp set we used.  Check out my video tutorial for this beauty below.

Halloween Happiness #5


This sweet treat holder is crazy easy to put together!  I did this at a recent workshop and it was a hit!  The best part is that it holds a full size candy bar, no fun size here!  This is the real deal!

To create this cutie you will need the following papers cut to size:

Bermuda Bay Card Stock 3" X 11"
Two pieces of Motley Monsters DSP measuring 2 3/4" X 4"
scrap Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White

Round the corners of all four corners of your card stock, as well as the tops of your DSP pieces.  

Score your piece of Bermuda Bay at 6 1/2" and 6 3/4".  This will form the pocket for your candy bar.

Adhere the DSP pieces as show on the inside and the front panel.  Don't worry that the inside DSP piece isn't long enough to go to the bottom.  Doing so would just be a waste of paper because you can't see it anyway.  Once you DSP is adhered, put your candy bar inside and use a piece of ribbon or twine to wrap around and tie it.  You want to make sure it's snug so your candy bar won't fall out.

For the decorative front you will need the Good Greetings stamp set and the Holiday Invitation set.
With the bats and stars stamp with Blackberry Bliss on Crushed Curry Card Stock.  Punch it out with the 1 3/8" circle punch and sponge the edges with Hello Honey ink.  Stamp your halloween greeting of choice on a strip of Whisper White card stock and flag the ends.  Punch out a piece of Bermuda Bay with the Decorative Label punch and cut a small strip of Silver Glimmer paper that is flagged.

Now to assemble your treat holder;
With your twine or ribbon knot to the side, use Dimensionals on the back of your Decorative Label Punched piece, one of the top and one on the bottom.  Place that over your twine so the dimensionals stick to the front label of your treat holder.  Using another Dimensional on the back of your moon, place that in the center of your Decorative Label Punch.  Then take your strip of Glimmer Paper and Halloween sentiment and with a bit of SNAIL adhesive or a Glue Dot on the back, slide it under your moon and attach it to the Decorative Label Punch piece.  

Your treat holder is finished!  Super simple and crazy cute!
