Jingle All the Way!

Happy Monday everyone!  I am participating in a swap and these are the cards I made to share.  I just love the sparkle on them and the green along with the new edgelits from Stampin' Up!.  Don't sell stampin' up!, but loving these edgelits along with the stamp set that comes with them.  I also used a glue pen and dazzling diamonds to get the glitter effect or ice effect as I called it. (glue pen so I could just mark the trees in different places and then sprinkled the glitter around and shook it off)   I also used my all time favorite stamp set on this as the background called "Lovely as A tree."  Don't you just love it.

 

 

Inside of the card. (not a very good photo, sorry)

 

 

And even made envelope liners to go with the set.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy your Thanksgiving.  Blessings to all.

Lovely As a Tree and Wetlands

Happy Monday! Yes, I am back to share a couple of cards I made by using the sponging technique along with stamping over each stamp to add dimension.  I found it on Pinterest and loved the card, so thought I would try it myself.  You can find the original post here, and the Pinterest link here. 

 

Now I took two sheets of paper cut the width of the card, 5 1/2 and put a few dots of adhesive on them, rubbed my fingers over them to soften the adherence of it and then placed one at the top of the card and one at the bottom to be able to sponge the center. (I think she used sticky notes for the card on Pinterest, regardless same effect.)  I used midnight muse for the sky and mellow moss for the grass.  Leaving the paper on top and bottom, I then stamped the trees in a lighter green, then a little darker green, took the paper off the top and bottom and then stamped the trees in black.  So, so easy.

 

I just love this one layer card and so, so easy.

 

 

I also had to do the inside of the card.

 

And then I decided to do another one with the same technique, just a different stamp set and I loved it even more.  I just love these little birds from the SU Wetlands stamp set.  I actually used the same two pieces of paper for the top and bottom and sponged with crumb cake ink for sand and pool party for the ocean.  Took the bottom paper off and put about a 1/4 inch from the top paper to be able to make a sky line.  Then removed both papers and started stamping.  So what do you think?

 

And all I did for the inside is stamp the beach looking shrubs.  You would think since I live at the beach, I would know what they are called, wouldn't you?

 

Thanks for stopping by and looking today.  I was motivated on Saturday and hope it helps to motivate you.  Enjoy your week.

Sketch 338- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Happy Monday and welcome to another week of our Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  I don't usually do square cards, but I decided to do this one square for the sketch and I always do them in a 4 1/14 square as I can use a regular envelope for them.  And, I really did like this sketch and loved the way it looked.  I also used some retired stampin up designer paper that I just love and brought the colors together beautifully.  So here it is.

 

 

And I thought I would let you see the tree as a close up.  I used sponge daubers to add the ink to the stamp.

 

 

As you can see, I tried not to add too much color as the leaves are falling off and I wanted the actual limbs to come through.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't miss out on seeing what the rest of the design team has come up with.  I know you will love them and want to join in.

Sketch 330- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Hello all and welcome to our Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  Mary Jo has a wonderful sketch for us today and I decided to go Masculine again.  Seems like my last few have been masculine cards, but that is OK, as I need more and more of them.  So here is what I have created for you today.

Now it seems lately that most of my cards have been Clean and Simple, but this one had layers and no way to do the clean and simple.  So if you love layers, this is the card for you.  I kind of miss all of those layers and got to use a lot of scraps in my paper stash.  That is one good thing about layers.

So now it is your turn to show us what you have.  Check out the design team samples and then link your sample up.  We would love to see what you have come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.

Post 10 Craft Show

 

Happy Thursday to everyone.  Here is another card that I made packs of 6 and was so easy to make.  I did the faux tearing technique here. 

• I took a piece of card stock and tore it and then placed it over the white where I wanted the top scene to end. 
• I took the brayer using Baja Breeze here and ran it over the white (You can also sponge it if you would like). 
• I stamped the tree in stazon black ink and removed the torn card stock. 

That is all there is to it.  So easy.  Now on this one, I used the Dazzling Details by Stampin' Up! to make the area between the white and the top shimmer and added snow flakes through out the top.  Here you can see a little more of the detail.

 

 

And here a little closer!

 

 

Side view!

 

 

Here is where I got my idea for this and am uncertain if she actually tore her paper or not.

 

Thanks for stopping by and please leave me a comment on what you think.

Lovely As A Tree Christmas

Hope you all are having a wonderful start to this Thanksgiving Week!  I am so thankful that I am well and God has blessed me with so very much.  So I feel very thankful.

This is another one of my Saturday stamp crop cards that I made using Pinterest as my point of inspiration.  I tag all of these cards, so I need to make sure I use them.  So that is what most of Saturday was, casing my Pinterest tags.  Fun, fun!

Here is a side view of the card!

Don't you just love this Night of Navy and White Embossing together.  I think it may become one my favorites.

Lovely As a Tree Fall card

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today I have another Pinterest card, challenge this week at SULateNightStampers, to share with you along with using this card for the SUO challenge and for the Stampin' Fun and Friends challenge.  How cool is that?  Not often I get 3 in one shot.  But I will say that this is the card from Pinterest done by Doris B. that inspired my card and you can find the details of her card here.

I changed mine up a bit and made it a 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 size card and added a little color to the tree, added a button, and also color to my highlighted leaf.  I was very happy with the outcome.

Here is a side view!

And the inside along with the envelope!
