Snowy Reflection

 Snowy Reflection

This is one of the cards we made at my Card Club this past Saturday! It was the first in-person club since early 2020. It was so nice to see all the ladies again, make cards, laugh and share our lives with each other!



Directions:

Cut a card base of Crumb Cake Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Stamp some stars using Crumb Cake Ink at a diagonal from the top left to the bottom right side of the card base.

Cut layers as follows: Very Vanilla C/S 3" x 3", Be Dazzling Paper or Gold Metallic Paper 3 1/8" x 3" and Night Of Navy C/S to 3 1/4" x 3 3/8".

Stamp the cabin using Night Of Navy Ink onto the 3"x 3" piece of Very Vanilla C/S. Then cut this piece down to 2 7/8" x 2 3/4". Adhere the stamped image to the Be Dazzling Paper using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue then using Dimensionals, attach them to the Night Of Navy C/S. Attach this to the card front using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Use Wink Of Stella to add some sparkle to the snow.

Stamp Merry Christmas using Night Of Navy Ink onto a scrap of Very vanilla C/S. Add to the card using Dimensionals.

Punch out a star using the Starlit Punch and Be Dazzling Paper. Attach with a Mini Dimensional. 

The Be Dazzling Paper is a Sale-A-Bration item and has since sold out. Use any sparkly paper that you have or another layer of Crumb Cake C/S. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sending Healing Hugs

 

Sending Healing Hugs

Today my card is a mini slimline card. It measures 6" x 2 7/8". 

I designed this card for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! Check them out HERE.




I started with Soft Succulent Card Stock cut to 6" x 5 3/4" and I scored it at 2 7/8" to create my card base.

I stamped a floral image from the Color And Contour Stamp Set repeatedly onto the card front using Soft Succulent Ink.

I added a 6" x 3/4" strip of Evening Evergreen Card Stock across the front of the card and then I wrapped some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the card and tied a knot on the left hand side.

Die cut a Basic White label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen Ink.

Add a few Genial Gems to the label and some to the flower centres. 

That's it! Pretty simple!

I hope you like todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Fall Card/Weekly Challenge

 Fall Card For The Weekly Challenge 

This is my card for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Be sure to check out everyones designs!

I decided to do a Fall inspirational card. I love the colours of the leaves this time of the year and the smell of the fresh cool air.  


I used the beautiful "Delicate Dahlias" Stamp Set. It's a free set during Stampin' Up's! Sale-A-Bration promotion running until September 30th, 2021. (Check out the SAB catalogue on the right side bar.)
 I stamped the detailed floral image using Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry Inks onto 1 3/4" Basic White squares and layered them onto 1 7/8" Basic Black squares. I then embossed all 3 squares using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I glued 2 of them flat to the card base and I popped up the middle one using Dimensionals. 


I added a sprig and a butterfly using Black Glitter Paper and the Meadow Dies. Black Glitter Paper isn't just for Halloween!! 

The sentiment from the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set is stamped in Rich Razzleberry Ink onto a small scrap of Basic White C/S and attached to the card front using Dimensionals. 

I hope you like todays card!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
