Good Monday morning everyone.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and you are enjoying this fall weather.  The leaves are all starting to change to their beautiful reds and yellows.  I love going out walking this time of year and admiring all the beautiful trees.

For todays card, I played along with the Freshly Made Sketches #360 Challenge.  Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see all the amazing projects everyone has made and to play along.  Here is the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches.

I used the adorable So Santa stamp set for my card today.  Here is what I came up with for the sketch.  Take a look.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the Santa riding the scooter image, from the So Santa stamp set, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored him in using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake,  Ivory, Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using my Big Shot and the Oval from the Stitched Shaped Framelits Dies.  I edged the artwork using my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker.

It’s very hard to see in these pictures, I embossed a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using my Big Shot with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered the Cherry Cobbler to a Whisper White mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Using my Big Shot, I cut one of the images from the Snowfall Thinlits Dies (available November 1-30, 2018), in Sparkle Glimmer Paper.  Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue I adhered it to the Cherry Cobbler panel.  I adhered the artwork over the die cut using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the card front to the top of the Shaded Spruce panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the Holly & Berry image, from the So Santa stamp set, across the top and colored it in using my Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I stamped the sentiment from the So Santa stamp set, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Snail than to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail.  I adhered the double matted panel to the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped part of the Santa riding the scooter image, from the So Santa stamp set,  on the bottom right front of the envelope and colored him in the same way I did my card.  I stamped the Holly & Berry image across the top of the envelope flap and colored them in the same as I did for my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card.  These Santa images are so much fun to color and the Stampin’ Blends Markers make it so easy.  Happy Stamping!

Good Friday morning everyone.  Hope you have had a wonderful week and maybe making some fun plans for the weekend.  If you are where the Nor’ easter is hitting, please stay safe.  I know it’s suppose to hit my area starting tonight.

For my card today I used one of my favorite stamp sets Spirited Snowmen.  Take a look.

I started with a Whisper White card front and stamped it, using Versamark Ink, with the Snowflake image from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set all over.  I sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered it to a Highland Heather mat using Snail.

I stamped the Ice Skating Snowman from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored the snowman in using my Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I also used my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Write Marker.  I cut the snowman out using my Layering Ovals Framelits Dies with my Big Shot.  Using Balmy Blue Ink I sponged the edges of the oval with my Stamping Sponge.  I adhered the oval to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Winter Cheer sentiment from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out using my Big Shot and my Layering Ovals Framelits Dies and sponged it using my Balmy Blue Ink and Stamping Sponges.  I adhered it to the left of the snowman using a Stampin’ Dimensional and a Glue Dot.  I adhered the matted card front to another mat of Mat Macaron using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the snowflakes from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once, on the top half edges.  I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tidings stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Mint Macaron mat using Snail and adhered it to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink all over the envelope flap.  I stamped the snowman on the front of the envelope and colored it in the same way I did on the card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!

Good Thursday morning everyone.  We’ve made it more than halfway through the week and hopefully making some fun plans for the weekend.

For today’s card I used the new to me So Santa Stamp Set.  I love the different Santa images.  Today I used the one on the beach.  Take a look.

I started with a Soft Sea Foam card front and ran it through my Big Shot using the Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  On a small panel of Shaded Spruce card stock I stamped the sentiment from the So Santa stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom right.  I sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the Shaded Spruce panel to the bottom of the Soft Sea Foam card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of Shaded Spruce Metallic Ribbon around the card front and tied a bow.

I stamped the Santa with the Surf Board image from the So Santa stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Pineapple Punch, Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Using my Big Shot I cut the image out using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies.  I cut a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies in Poppy Parade cardstock.  I adhered the artwork to the scalloped circle using Snail and adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added 3 Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.  I adhered the card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the sentiment from the So Santa stamp set in Poppy Parade Ink in the center. I stamped the Holly & Berries from the So Santa stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink across the top of the Whisper White panel.  I colored the Holly & Berries in using my  Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail and adhered it to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the Holly & Berries image across the top front of the envelope and the top of the envelope flap in Shaded Spruce Ink.  I colored them in the same as I did for the inner liner of my card.  I stamped the Starfish image on the bottom front of the envelope and bottom of the envelope flap in Crumb Cake Ink.  I stamped the Santa with Surf Board image in Crumb Cake Ink on the front bottom left of the envelope and colored it in the same as I did on my card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  I really love coloring these images in with my Stampin’ Blends Markers.  They make coloring so easy.  Happy Stamping!

Good Wednesday morning everyone.  Hope your week is going well.  Were you able to take advantage of some of the awesome savings yesterday?  I know I did.

For today’s card I used the Stampin Up Stamp Set Timeless Tidings.  I just love the sentiments in this stamp set.  I also used the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies for my card.  Take a look.

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card front.  Using my Big Shot, I cut the detailed circle frame from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink on the bottom of the card front and sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I heat set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the card front to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using my Big Shot again, I cut the Ornament image from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies from a Silver Foil Sheet.  I adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to a circle of Balmy Blue cardstock which I cut from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies.

I adhered the ornament to the center of the detailed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using a Glue Dot I attached a bow made from Silver and Whisper White Bakers Twine. I added 3 Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tidings stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center.  I stamped the Holly Leaves from the set on the top on both sides.  I colored the holly leaves and berries in using my Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Blackberry Bliss mat using Snail and adhered it to the Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope with the Holly and Berries on the front bottom left and the envelope flap.  I colored them in the same as I did for the card.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping!

On a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock I stamped the Christmas sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Versamark Ink on the bottom.  I sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. Using my Big Shot, I cut the Merry from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies out in a Gold Foil Sheet and adhered it above Christmas on my Cherry Cobbler strip using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I attached 2 thin strips from a Gold Foil Sheet on the top and bottom of the Cherry Cobbler strip using Snail.  I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Good Friday morning all.  The weekend is upon us and hopefully you have some fun plans ahead.

I’m giving you another sneak peek of the up coming Snow Is Glistening stamp set.  Products from the Snowflake Showcase which will be available for a limited time only.  You can purchase them from November 1-30, 2018, but only while supplies last.  There are some beautiful items in this Showcase.

My card today is a clean and simple card and uses one of the stamps from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the tree trunk from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set on the bottom in Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the tree in Versamark Ink above the trunk.  I sprinkled the tree with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I added a bow made from the 1/4″ Copper Trim on top of the tree using a Glue Dot.

I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a mat of Copper Foil Sheet using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered it to another mat of Shaded Spruce cardstock using Snail and adhered it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the tree image in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off twice to get a very light image, in the center of a Very Vanilla panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on top of the tree image. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail and adhered it to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope with the small snowflake image from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping them off once to get a softer image.  I hope you will give this card a try once you are able to purchase the stamp set.  It was very quick and easy.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  Happy Stamping.

Good Wednesday morning everyone.  Hope you’re all having a terrific week.

I have a sneak peek for you today from a set that will be available to customers starting November 1st.  This set will only be available until November 30th or until supplies last.  If you like it, I’d get it as soon as it becomes available.  It’s a Photopolymer stamp set called Snow Is Glistening and this was a quick and easy card today. Take a look.

I started with a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock and stamped the blizzard snow image, From the Snow Is Glistening Photopolymer Stamp Set, along the top in Versamark Ink using my Stamparatus.  I sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.  I then stamped the snow image below, again using my Stamparatus, with Versamark Ink.  Sprinkled more White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.

I adhered the Balmy Blue panel to a Silver Foil mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered this to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I cut the largest snowflake from the Snowfall Thinlits Dies, (available November 1st), using my Big Shot  I adhered the snowflake to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Is Glistening Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled it with my Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.  I cut the sentiment into a banner and adhered it to the center of the snowflake using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the medium and large snowflake image from Snow Is Glistening Photppolymer Stamp Set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once, on a Whisper White cardstock panel. I stamped the sentiment in the center using Blueberry Bushel Ink.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Balmy Blue mat using Snail.  I adhered this to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card, I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Is Glistening stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink on the front bottom left corner and the flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope. This was really a super quick card and I hope you will give it a try.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Happy Stamping.

Good Tuesday morning everyone.  Hope your week has started out  well.  I can’t believe we’re halfway through October already.  Sometimes time just flies.

For today’s card I used the adorable Stampin’ Up Postcard Pals Stamp Set and made a cute Christmas card.  I absolutely love this little otter image.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the  Stampin’ Up Alpine Adventures Stamp Set in Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled it with Call Me Clover Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the 2018-2020 In-Color Stampin’ Emboss Powder  set and heat set it with my Heat Tool.  I adhered a piece of 2018-2020 In-Color Designer Series Paper to the top half of the Whisper White panel using Snail.

I wrapped a piece of  1/4″ Copper Trim around the center of the panel and made a small bow with the same Copper Trim and attached it by the sentiment using a Glue Dot.

I stamped the Otter image from the Postcard Pals Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I colored it in using my Bronze, Call Me Clover, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using my Big Shot and the largest Oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  I stamped the Gift Box image from the Alpine Adventure Stamp Set in Real Red Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and colored the bow in with my Call Me Clover Stampin’ Blend Marker and fussy cut it. I adhered the Gift Box, using a Stampin’ Dimensional, on the artwork.  I cut the largest Scalloped Oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies in Real Red cardstock using my Big Shot and adhered the artwork to the scallop oval using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, on a panel of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the snowflakes from the Alpine Adventure stamp set in Real Red Ink, stamping off once, in all 4 corners.  I stamped the sentiment from Alpine Adventure stamp set in Real Red Ink in the center of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Call Me Clover mat using Snail then adhered it to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I stamped just the Otter from the Postcard Pals stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom left corner of a Medium Whisper White Envelope and colored it in the same way as I did on the card.  I adhered a piece of 2018-2020 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.  Hope you enjoyed my card today and will give it a try.  Thank you for stopping by my blog. Happy Stamping.

Good Friday morning everyone.  I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend.  Maybe apple picking, pumpkin picking or a haunted hay ride.  Whatever you plan on doing enjoy.

May card for today uses the Stampin’ Up Christmas Pines Stamp Set and the Buffalo Check Stamp.  I made the Buffalo Check into a plaid again, it gives that warm cozy feeling when you look at it.  Take a look.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check in Merry Merlot Ink.  I used my Basic Black, Old Olive and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers to make the plaid.  One of our wonderful team members did a Facebook Live video explaining how to make the plaid.  You can see Mary Deatherage from Stamps-N- Lingers here explaining how to do it.

I adhered the plaid panel to an Old Olive card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines Stamp Set in Merry Merlot Ink on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Using my Big Shot, I cut the sentiment out with the largest Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies Oval.  Also using my Big Shot I cut out some pine boughs in Old Olive cardstock and some of the decorative pieces in a Champagne Foil Sheet and Silver Glimmer Paper from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies.  I arranged the pieces on the card front, how I thought it would look nice, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I adhered the Stitched oval with the sentiment over the pine boughs using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut 3 pine cones from the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies in Soft Suede cardstock and the bow from the same dies in Merry Merlot cardstock.  I adhered the pine cones using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the bow on top of the pine cones with a Glue Dot.  In the center of the bow I added 1 Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewel.

On the inside Very Vanilla panel I stamped the snowflake image from the Christmas Pines stamp set multiple times, using Smoky Slate Ink stamping off once, to cover the panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Merry Merlot Ink in the center.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Snail.  I adhered the matted panel to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink stamping off once on the envelope front.  I stamped the Buffalo Check in Merry Merlot Ink on the envelope flap.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you enjoyed the card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping.

Good Thursday morning everyone.  Hope your week is going well as we round the corner to the weekend.  Hope you are making some fun plans for the weekend.

Today I’ve made you a quick and easy Holiday card using the Stampin’ Up Bring On The Presents Stamp Set.  Take a look.

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I took a small piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the large bow from Bring On The Presents stamp set in Shaded Spruce.  I also stamped the tag from Bring On The Presents stamp set in Shaded Spruce along with the North Pole Delivery sentiment.  I colored the bow in using my Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Using my Big Shot, I cut the bow and tag out with the coordinating All The Presents Thinlits Dies.

Using my Big Shot I cut 2 ribbon strips from All The Presents Thinlits Dies from a small piece of Gold Foil Sheet.  I adhered the gold ribbon strips using Multipurpose Liquid Glue to a panel of Merry Merlot cardstock.

I attached a piece of Gold Metallic Thread to the tag and adhered it where the ribbon strips crossed using a Glue Dot. I attached the bow covering where the ribbon strips crossed using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the bow image from Bring On The Presents stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping it off twice to get a very light image, on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink over the bow. I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Merry Merlot mat using Snail then adhered it to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card off I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope by stamping the bow image on the front right corner in Shaded Spruce Ink.  I colored it in the same as I did for the card.  I adhered a piece of Wood Textures DSP to the envelope flap.  A nice quick and easy card that you can make in any color combinations you’d like.  Thank you for stopping by my blog and I hope that you will give this card a try.  Happy Stamping!
