October 29 and 30, 2016 Holiday Card Designs

Hello, welcome back!

I was inspired by Stampin' Fee in Germany with this cute 4 tea light holder.  Retired set Warmest of Wishes stamped in Real Red and then used the new Layering Square Framelits on the lid. You will need 12x12 cardstock to make this.

Original design using retired Designer Series paper, but current Acorn Punch with Gold and Copper Foil paper, corrugated kraft cardstock, gold doily, burlap ribbon, and the Suite Seasons Stamp set mounted on the Lots of Labels framelits.

Inspired by Deb at Artfelt Impressions using the Woodland embossing folder and Christmas Greeting thinlits in silver foil. I changed it up by dragging a silver ink pad over the vellum that the trees were embossed on. Retired Brushed Silver paper and current Smokey Slate cardstock.

CASED design but didn't write down the designer's name. Oops!  I used Embellished Ornaments stamp set and  Delicate Ornament thinlits cut out from gold foil and Pool Party card stock. More bling with gold glimmer washi tape and rhinestones.

A direct CASE of Julie's @ The Way We Stamp design using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and Jar of Love, Jar of Cheer, and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets. I used a slightly different washi tape and narrow gold ribbon for accent.

A direct CASE from Kim Williams at Stampinwithjoyink.typepad,com

I only added the red glimmer paper berries and the expanded Real Red Label Punch behind the greeting to give it more POP! Stamp set was Holly Berry Happiness and the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you've received some inspiration here!

Assorted Cards to Inspire You!

Hello Everyone,

I'm so behind in my posting, I just thought I'd do a quick catch-up just to show you what I've been up to in the last month or so.

I was inspired by others, but made this my own by adding the Merry Christmas banner and making my own snowman arms. Used the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits (141497 - $27) and the Snow Place stamp set (139738 - $26)

Inspired again from Pinterest but made it my own using Stylized Birthday (141828 - $10) and Sweet Cupcake and Framelits Bundle (142232 - $43) all in Peak a boo Peach and Chocolate Chip.

Thoughtful Branches set was a short lived special offer from Stampin' Up! but it has already sold out! Many demos offered inspiration on Pinterest with similar layouts.

This was an original by me using up some retired holiday Designer Series Paper, a felted wreath embellishment from about 6 years ago (been saving that a long time!) and the Letters for You and Framelits Bundle (142348 - $133)

Thanks for stopping by.

Swirly Thanks!

I was inspired by a design by Edna Marie, but my design is more elaborate and has more layers. This card combines the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits that you can purchase in a bundle and save 10%. The design aspects of my card that are hard to see in the photo is I used some retired glimmer tape from Sale-A-Bration earlier this year that the Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon was put on top of, white sequins, and rhinestone jewels in the flower centers. On the large swirls, I used the retired 2-way glue pen to add Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the top of the swirls. The "thanks!" stamp was from a very old set, so I would recommend using the new set called Thankful Thoughts which has a similar stamp to this one.

Swirly Scribbles Sympathy Card

This is an original design by me. I started with Blushing Bride cardstock as a base, but dry embossed with the retired Decorative Dots folder for just 1" on the edge. Luckily you can run that embossing folder through your Big Shot sideways and it will fit!  

Next I combined Island Indigo cardstock and the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper off centered. Rich Razzleberry cardstock was cut with the Swirly Scribbles Thinlit to form a wreath. 

I used the Triple Banner Punch with a 1" piece of Whisper White cardstock to make the pennant. The edge was sponged with Blushing Bride ink. The greeting is from a retired stamp set called Simply Sketched stamped in Island Indigo ink. 

I cut out 5 little leaves with the leaf die from the above mentioned thinlit set with Mint Macaron cardstock. The 3 flowers were stamped with the Petite Petals set on 1) Blushing Bride cardstock with Blushing Bride ink, 2) Rich Razzleberry cardstock with Rich Razzleberry ink, and 3) a combo of Blushing Bride cardstock and Rich Razzleberry ink. Then the 3 flowers were punched out with the Petite Petals punch. Pearl Jewels were added to finish this elegant card.
