Punch Art Wreath Card!

 

I love to use my punches to create a card and as you can see in this card, I used 4 different punches.  It just seems to create a different card with a lot of character.  And, this one was so easy to make.  You could make this one in duplicate quite fast.  It is another one of my cases from pinterest, but I changed it up a little.  It came from the Stampin' Royalty blog, but there was no direct link so I could not link it to one certain person but thanks for the inspiration.

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

And the inside!

SU LateNightStampers Challenge / Favorite Christmas Colors

This past Saturday we had a stamp crop and I just had fun making cards that I had been wanting to do.  This was one of those cards that I cased off of Pinterest and I love the outcome.  Some of my favorite Christmas cards are red and white and that is why I used this as my first card for this weeks challenge at LNS.  Isn't it just beautiful.  Of course I have to give credit where credit is due and "garken" is her Splitcoast Stampers ID.  Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Here is a side view of the card!

And of course the inside is decorated!

I am also putting this in the following challenges!

Bold Snowflake

 

I ordered the new single stamp called Bold Snowflake which also can be used with the Blossom Punch. I think I really like it.  Actually I used another card from pinterest that used the mixed bunches stamp set and cased that card.  I used a few different places for the snow flakes here, but it is mostly the same as the one Linda Creech did.  Since I could not link to her card, here it is!

 

 

As I said, I positioned a few more on my card, but the idea is still the same.

 

Here is a side view!

 

 

I also used the inside to stamp a image of the snowflake from the same paper I punched the snowflake from.

 

 

I actually used the white craft ink and sponged around the sides of the white paper.

 

There is also a sparkle to the card as I spritzed it with my Shimmer paint spray I made.  To really see it, you may have to double click on the image to see it larger.  Very pretty and shimmery!

Clean & Simple Christmas

It took me a while to decide what to do for this weeks Clean and Simple Sketch, but when I was looking through my Snow Festival Designer Paper and saw this cute little house, it became very clear what I would do.  Isn't it just the cutest little house.  Reminds me of my childhood on the farm with the front porch.  I did add some sparkle to this by using some of the Dazzling details to the snow flakes falling and also to the ornaments on the tree.  And then embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.  Just added a bit of class to the card.  I also used SU Shimmer White card stock for the background as it is a very thick card stock.

Here is the side view!

And also embossed the inside of the card!

A close up of the center of the card so you can see the shimmer and the dazzling details!

Dazzling Details

I am headed to the Dr. this morning and so in hopes that I get this ortho shoe off today and can wear some regular shoes.  I haven't wore a dress in 6 weeks waiting on this. Dresses do not look good with an ortho shoe on!!!!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and hope your day is blessed!

SU LateNightStampers Challenge/Mosaic

 

This weeks challenge at LNS is to do a Mosaic background.  So I used the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers for the faux torn mosaic.  You can find the tutorial here!  It was really easy and after I finished with the technique, I then used glitter and the glue pen to add glitter all around the torn mosaic.  Isn't it just so glittery!  Now what inspired this card was actually the sketch from last Friday at Sketch Frenzy Friday!  I tried to get this done all week and finally finished it last night.  So I guess I am a little late in completing it.

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

You can see a lot more of the glitter from the side view.  Here is a close up!

 

 

Love it and now for the inside which is kind of plain!

 

 

Well that is my card and hope you like it.

Christmas Lodge

How cool is this!  When I saw the sketch for this week at Unscripted Sketches, I knew I had to use the stamp set Christmas Lodge and do some sponging.  And, I am so glad I did. I love the look of sponging to make an almost evening scene.  With this one, I used the new in-color midnight muse and it just really made the card.  The ink was chocolate chip for the trees and the house.  I also used my white gel pen to add a little more of the snow feel to the trees.

Here is a side view of the card!

And the inside of the card!

Christmas in September/Fun!

 

I just love this one little stamp of all the snowmen and of course when I saw the sketch over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday, I could not resist turning the card to go landscape and adding the little bell from last Christmas to make this card.  The other thing that inspired me was the different colors of Designer Paper which meant I could finally play with my new little book of Christmas papers from the new mini.  And of course you see the outcome and I love it.

 

Here is a close up of the sparkle that is on the center piece.  Click on the image to make it bigger and you can see it better.

 

 

And of course the side view which I love!

 

 

And so glad that I started doing the insides of my cards as it is ready to go when I need it.
