Traditions Of St. Nick Card

 Traditions Of St. Nick Card

I just love how this card came together. I added very little in the way of embellishments to it, I just wanted the Designer Series Paper to be the star of this card!

Isn't the Traditions Of St. Nick Designer Series Paper gorgeous! 

Directions: 

Cut a piece of Pebbled Path Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".

Cut a piece of Traditions Of St. Nick DSP to 4" x 5 1/4" and attach it to the card front.

Using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut 1 from Cherry Cobbler C/S and using the next size down, die cut 1 of the Traditions Of St. Nick images. *Tip: I used my Paper Snips to cut out the St. Nick images first then I die them. I wanted to get as many St. Nicks cut out of the sheet of DSP as possible. Attach these two together then attach to the card base.

Punch out 1 Basic White C/S oval and 1 Gold Foil scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch. Stamp a sentiment onto the Basic White oval using Memento Black Ink then attach it to the Gold Foil oval.

Add some Stampin' Seal Adhesive or Tear And Tape to the corner of the card, loop some ribbon back and forth over the adhesive. (This helps to keep it in place) Add a few Dimensionals to the sentiment oval and attach it over top of the ribbon.

Card Inside:

I used a strip of the Traditions Of St. Nick DSP at the bottom  then I glued a  3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White C/S over top. I die cut a Gold Foil ribbon using the Country Wreaths Dies and attach it to the inside. (I used a retired Shimmer Gold Paper for the bow, but Gold Foil would be just as lovely!)

Don't forget to decorate your envelope to match too!  

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Butterflies and Flowers Layering Masks

 Butterflies and Flowers Layering Decorative               

                           Masks

I had fun making this pretty butterfly card using Stampin' Up!'s new Butterflies and Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. 

The card base is Polished Pink Card Stock, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". 

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3 3/4" x 5". I used my Blending Brushes to add some Polished Pink Ink to the "open" butterfly mask image and then I used the floral mask to fill in the open butterfly image with the flowers using Melon Mambo Ink. 

I embossed the Basic White C/S sponged layer with the Tasteful Touches Embossing Folder. 

The Designer Series Paper and the Special Moments Stamp Set were offerings during Sale-A-Bration Jan/Feb 2022. Any DSP and stamp set would work. For the DSP I added 2 strips, 1/4" x 4" and 3/4" x 4" over top of the Basic White C/S and a layer behind the Basic White panel measuring 4" x 5 1/4". 

I used the Double Oval Punch for the sentiment and some Polished Pink Ribbon and Rhinestones.

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Tulip Fields

 Tulip Fields

Stampin' Up! you have done it again! The Tulip Fields Bundle is amazing!! I'm having so much fun designing cards with this stamp set and matching dies!

For todays card I stamped the rows of tulips then I added the windmill, some shrubs, a tree, clouds and the adorable little fence.

Directions:

Cut a piece of Granny Apple Green Card Stock for your card base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4".

Stamp the floral "horizon" first approximately 1/3 down the Basic White layer using Calypso Coral Ink.

Next stamp the center row using Mango Melody Ink. Leave slight spaces between each stamped row. The stamps are Photopolymer so you can see through them. If you stand up to do this part it's much easier to line up the rows with even-ish spacing. 

Then on each side of the middle, stamp the next rows (2) using Flirty Flamingo Ink. 

Lastly stamp the last 2 rows beside the Flirty Flaming rows using Daffodil Delight Ink. 

Using a scrap piece of paper or post-it-notes, cover up your stamped floral rows and lightly add some Balmy Blue Ink to the sky using a Blending Brush. *Tip: ink up the Blending Brush then remove some ink onto a scrap piece of paper. Add the ink to the C/S using a soft circular motion. Continue adding ink until you are happy with the results. 

Stamp some shrubs along the "horizon" using Pear Pizzazz Ink.

Stamp a tree using Pear Pizzazz Ink onto Basic White C/S. Die cut it out with the coordinating die and attach it to the card on the horizon, using Multi-purpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp some clouds using Balmy Blue Ink onto Basic White C/S.  Die cut them out and attach to the card using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Die cut 1 long and 1 short fence using Crumb Cake Ink. Attach them to the card using multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. 

Stamp a Windmill in Soft Suede Ink onto Basic White C/S and die cut. Attach it to the card using Mini Dimensionals. 

Stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S.  Punch it out using the Double Oval Punch. Punch out a scalloped oval using Flirty Flamingo C/S. Attach together then attach to the card using Dimensionals. 

Add a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the oval and a double White Bakers Twine bow. 

For the inside of the card I simply stamped the windmill in Soft Suede Ink and the shrubs in Pear Pizzazz Ink onto a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S.

If you have any questions or comments I love hearing from you! I hope I have inspired you today! Happy Stamping and Creating!
