Canada Ink's Up Blog Hop!

 Canada Ink's Up Blog Hop!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our team, Canada Ink's Up!s Blog Hop! This months theme is Christmas in July. I have missed a few blog hops due to life getting in the way but I was determined to participate this month!

My card is a simple Christmas card using the stamping off technique. It looks like I used multiple stamp pads but I only used two!

I used the beautiful Leaves Of Holly Bundle. It is a photopolymer stamp set with amazing details in the multiple holly leaf stamps. While it is a "two step" set I only used a single layer of stamping. 

Details:

The card base is a piece of Thick Whisper White Card Stock cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

I stamped directly onto the card front using two different holly leaves (I used a large leaf and a smaller leaf) and Soft Succulent Ink and Evening Evergreen Ink. I inked up one leaf using Evening Evergreen Ink and stamped it full strength, then without cleaning it or re-inking it, I stamped it again 2 more times to get the 3 different color tones. Repeat using the other leaf and Soft Succulent Ink stamping 3 times, then one more Soft Succulent leaf full strength. 

*Tip: make sure all the leaf stems end up in the center so they will be covered by the die cut. Stamp as many times as you would like to fill up the area. 

Die cut the label using Basic White C/S. Stamp sentiment using Evening Evergreen Ink.

Using this funky looking die, cut a piece of Evening Evergreen C/S for one card and Gold And Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper for the second card. This piece fits perfectly behind the leaf on the die cut tag! I used some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to attach these together. 

*Tip: when you die cut using the Gold And Rose Gold Specialty Paper you might have to run it through your Stampin' n Cut & Emboss Machine a few times. 

Attach the label over the stamped leaves using Multi_purpose Liquid Glue. Add a Festive Pearl and a Gold Shimmer Ribbon bow to finish it off.

For the second card the only difference is I used a different sentiment, and the Gold And Rose Gold Specialty Metallic Paper behind the die cut and I used Dimensionals to attach the label and I tied some ribbon around the card.

I also stamped a leaf inside my cards and on the envelopes.

I hope you have enjoyed todays cards! I would love for you to leave me a comment!

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!

Merriest Moments Christmas Card

 Merriest Moments Christmas Card

The Merriest Moments Bundle with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder makes such beautiful cards with ease! Die cut the frame then pop it into the matching embossing folder and you have this beautifully detailed die cut!

 I stamped the sentiment using Soft Succulent Ink in the centre of the frame. This stamp set has beautiful sentiments! Then using Basic White Card Stock I stamped two poinsettias using Polished Pink Ink, two leaves using Soft Succulent Ink and a Pale Papaya centre. I die cut them out with the same Merriest Moments Bundle and added them to the card. I splattered some Wink Of Stella over the frame and added a few Rhinestones. I attached the frame to a 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2" Basic White card base. 

This card would be beautiful with just the frame or you can decorate it by adding the poinsettia flowers in any colour. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
