2019 Eichfeld Christmas Card Reveal!

Good afternoon!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and enjoying time with friends and family.  We've been having a nice and relaxing getaway, just what we needed.  I've been waiting to share our family Christmas card for the year until the majority of people have received them.  As most people know I love my bling and shine so when I saw the new Delicata Copper Metallic Ink I knew it would be perfect for our Christmas card.

I used Soft Suede cardstock for the cardbase and then added a Pool Party cardfront which I stamped with the Birch stamp set using Pool Party Ink.  Next I stamped the small stars from the So Many Stars stamp set using the Copper Ink and then sponged around the edge with Dapper Denim Ink.

For the frame around our family picture I used the Heirloom Frames Dies and Embossing Folders along with Dapper Denim cardstock and after cutting them out and embossing them I sponged the frame with the Copper Ink.

To finish off the card I stamped a couple ornaments using the Brightly Gleaming stamp set and coordinating Ornament Punches using Mossy Meadow and Pool Party cardstock.  The greeting is from the Greatest Part of Christmas Hostess stamp set and was stamped in Soft Suede ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and then punched it out with the Storybook Label Punch and attached it with dimensionals.

I absolutely love how this card turned out even though it was definitely time consuming to make given all the steps, but the end result was worth it and I hope everyone who received it enjoyed it.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC363: Cheers to That

Good morning!

Can you believe Christmas is one week away?  I really am working on wrapping up the last of the Christmas projects, although honestly I seem to be constantly adding more, and starting to think about what's next.  For this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge I decided to do a fun New Years card, which is perfect since we're going to a friends to ring in the new year so I'll need a card for the occasion.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Night of Navy cardstock as a mat for the Cherry Cobbler cardfront.  On the card front I added the brick pattern by coloring some Embossing Paste with Crumb Cake Reinker and then using the Palette Knives and Pattern Party Decorative Masks to create this fun effect.

Next I added a piece of Wrapped in Plaid Speciality Designer Series Paper as well as an oval cut out of Gold Foil using the Layering Ovals Dies (honestly I have a stack of these gold ovals on my desk from another project I was working on so this works perfectly!)

The greeting is from the Cheers to That stamp set and was stamped in Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler ink on Whisper White cardstock before cutting it out with the same dies and attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals.  To finish off the card I added some Rhinestones and then a fun star cut from the same Gold Foil and the Stitched Stars dies (I used a Mini Dimensional in the center of the star to add a little extra dimension).

This card has lots of fun textures, and just the right amount of sparkle and bling to help ring in the new year.  Make sure to check out all the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this sketch (remember you have 2 weeks to play along with us, so plenty of time!!)

Buffalo Check Merry Christmas to All!

Good evening,

So one of the trends this season, that I am totally loving is buffalo check, it's everywhere and I've planned a lot of my Christmas decorations for our Christmas week condo using this trend, I can't wait!  So it's only fitting that I also incorporate this trend into a Christmas card, perfect for the season.

I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then used Cherry Cobbler and the Buffalo Check stamp set to stamp the plaid design in Basic Black ink.  Next I took a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and embossed it with the Corrugated Dynamic Embossing Folder.


For the greeting I used my Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, and Early Espresso Stampin' Write Markers to color directly on the stamp from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set before stamping on Whisper White cardstock.  I used the swirl image from the same stamp set and stamped in Crumb Cake ink before adding a Red Rhinestone Jewel to the center of the swirl.  Before attaching the greeting with dimensionals to the cardfront I took my Shaded Spruce Dark Stampin' Blends Marker and colored a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon and tucked it behind the Whisper White piece.

I love how this card turned out, a nice rustic feeling, perfect for the holidays!

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC362: Delightful Day

Good morning!

While I definitely have Christmas on the brain (as most of us do this time of year) there are still other occasions this month so I decided to use this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge to make a birthday card I needed for this month.  Sometimes I struggle to use a certain package of designer series paper if I don't have the stamp set and everything that coordinate with it, so I just look for some more neutral prints and start with that, in this case it was the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper, but then I found this great pattern and just went with it.

I started with Gray Granite cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pacific Point cardstock as the card front which I embossed with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder.

Next I added a piece of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper as well as a strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock.  The greeting is from the Delightful Day stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink on Whisper White before being cut out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and using Stampin' Write Markers to color in the confetti.  I used the same dies to cut a mat out of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and attached the greeting with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I added some rhinestones as well as a piece of Gray Granite 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon.

This is such a fun card, bright cheery colors and just the right amount of bling, perfect for birthday fun!  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create using this same sketch.
