Good Monday morning everyone.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up Merry Christmas To All bundle.  I absolutely love the fonts from this set.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Snail.  I adhered the panel to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

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.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat using Snail and adhered it to the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the scroll from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the bottom front of the envelope.  I adhered a panel of Festive Farmhouse DSP to the envelope flap.  I hope you enjoyed my card today, it’s really a very quick and easy card.  Thank you for stopping by my blog.  Happy Stamping!

Product List

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!

Good Wednesday morning everyone.  Hope your week is going well.

I’ve got a pretty Christmas card for you today.  For today’s card I played along with the sketch for Fab Friday 147.  Be sure to stop by the challenge blog to see all the wonderful projects and to play along!

Here’s the card I came up with for the challenge.  Take a look.

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot with the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I adhered a banner made from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper and my Banner Triple Punch, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, to the center.

I cut some Pine Boughs in Mossy Meadow cardstock using my Big Shot and the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies.  I also cut a couple of Gold Foil pieces out from one of the other dies in the set.  I arranged the Pine Boughs and the Gold Foil pieces the way I thought it would look nice and adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and dusted it with my Embossing Buddy so that my Emboss Powder would only stick to the stamped image.  In Versamark Ink I stamped the Noel from the Christmas Pines Stamp Set on the Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  I sprinkled it with my Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, making sure the image is covered, then shook off the excess powder.  Using my Heat Tool, I heated the powder and watched it turn Gold.  Using the largest Oval from the Stitched Shaped Framelits Dies, I cut out the embossed image.  I adhered some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the oval and weaved some Gold Metallic Thread around so that it came out all around the oval.  It’s very hard to see in the photo since the thread is so fine.  I adhered the oval to the card front with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the card front to a Thick Very Vanilla card base.

On the inside I stamped a Very Vanilla panel with the Pine Boughs from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once.  Using my Versamark Ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in the center and sprinkled it with my Gold Emboss Powder. I heated it with my Heat Tool until it turned gold.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Cherry Cobbler mag 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.  I stamped the Pine Boughs from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once, on the envelope front edges.  I adhered a piece of Festive Farmhouse DSP to the envelope flap.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I hope you liked the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!
