Rustic Centerpiece Birthday Greetings

Good morning,

So after cleaning up from the busy Christmas crafting season I was clearing off my table and found a couple of pieces that I had already stamped and colored so they were just waiting to be finished off so I decided that this week I'm going to share them but they are going to be for birthdays!

This card starts with Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then a piece of Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper as the cardfront.

Next I stamped the main image using the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set on Basic White cardstock and after coloring it in with Stampin' Blends cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles Dies (love how the irregular edges of this die work with the rustic look of the stamp!).  This piece was attached to the cardfront with dimensionals.

The greeting is from The Right Words stamp set and was stamped in Basic Black ink on Peacan Pie cardstock before fussy cutting out.  A piece of Irregular Weave 3/8" Trim was added behind the greeting which was attached with dimensionals.

This card turned out so pretty and will certainly brighten someone's special day!

Love & Courage

Good morning,

With the holidays over I decided to take this week and share some cards I made using products from the Holiday Mini catalog that I haven't had a chance to share since you only have a week left to order from this catalog.

Today's card uses the Love & Courage stamp set and this one is beautiful (it is also a stamp set that Stampin' Up! will donate $3 from each set sold to charity so that's a double win).  I used Strawberry Slush cardstock for the cardbase and folded it to create a gate fold.  Inside I added a piece of Basic White cardstock.

On the front I added pieces of Pretty in Pink cardstock that were stamped with the ribbon image using Strawberry Slush ink.

For the main image I stamped the greeting/floral image in Strawberry Slush ink on Basic White and matted it with Strawberry Slush cardstock (make sure you only put adhesive on one half of this piece so you can still open up the card, lol!  To finish off the card I added some Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems for a little bling.

I love the single tone color with this card and it's easy to make with just a few supplies!

Traditional Labels Christmas Greetings

Good morning and Merry Christmas,

I hope you are enjoying time with friends and family today in a way that is special to you.  I did want to drop in for one last Christmas card for the season.  I love the mix of the Traditional Labels Bundle with heat embossing for an elegant looking card that's simple to make.

For this card I used Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock that's the mat for the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper.  Along the bottom I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that's embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.  Around this piece I wrapped some Shaded Spruce 1/2" Satin & Sheer Ribbon and tied a decorative knot.

The greeting uses the Traditional Labels Bundle and is stamped on Cherry Cobbler cardstock with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with the WoW! Metallics Embossing Powder before being cut out with the coordinating dies.  This piece was attached to the card with dimensionals for a little extra dimension.

This card has an elegant look to it but is really easy to make which makes it perfect if your making multiples.

Joyful Tidings

Good morning,

What a fun day, but it is so nice to be back home and have everyone under one roof!  Today we're planning a relaxing day, which is perfect!  I'm back with the third card in my series using the Joyful Tidings stamp set and I must say, it's a stunner!

I used Pecan Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper for the cardfront.  Around this piece I did wrap some Gold Striped 3/8" Mesh Ribbon Around the bottom.

For the stamped image I stamped the wreath in Versamark on Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then heat embossed it with the Wow! Metallics Embossing Powder.  I used the same embossing powder to stamp the greeting on Shaded Spruce cardstock and then cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies before adding it to the cardstock with dimensionals.  This whole piece was matted with Pecan Pie cardstock before being attached to the cardfront.

This card is so beautiful in person and after making all three cards I don't know which is my favorite, they all are perfect on their own.  I hope these have helped share some ideas using this stamp set and show it's versatility.

Joyful Tidings

Good morning,

Today I have a fun day trip planned up to Philly which will end with finally bringing the kiddo home for the holiday break so as you can imagine I'm one happy mama!  Before all the fun begins I'm back with another card using the Joyful Tiding stamp set.

This card starts with a Crumb Cake cardbase and then the cardfront is Garden Green cardstock that's embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.  Next I added a strip of DSP from the Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (this paper is amazing with everything that's included!)

Next I stamped the wreath image in Garden Green ink on Basic White cardstock before matting it with Real Red Cardstock and attaching to the cardfront with dimensionals.  The greeting is stamped in Real Red ink on Crumb Cake cardstock before being cut out with the Layering Circles Dies and attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch is the perfect bow for the wreath tied with Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon.

This card is a classic and super easy since there's no coloring and minimal supplies, perfect for making multiples!
