A Green Christmas

 Hello All! 

I have another card  to share using two of my new favorite products-the gorgeous Fluted Classics Rectangle dies from Spellbinders and their Vintage Holidays Stamp Set!  These Fluted Classics Rectangles are a great way to frame an image or add texture to your background.  

I paired the new Fluted Classic Rectangle Dies with this wonderful image from Vintage Holidays Stamp Set.  The image was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I used the dies to create the fluted texture, to diecut the fluted frame out and  to die cut the rectangle window out.  I love the versatility! The sentiment is from the Christmas Time Sentiments Stamp Set. The Fluted Classics Rectangle Frame was matted with the Mirror Gold Cardstock.  

I am linking this card up to the Sunday Stamps Challenge, where I used the shades of green and white.  

I am also linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, 'Sparkle Mode'.  I added sparkle with sequins, gold cs and Wink of Stella (which you cannot see in the photo). 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Joyful Christmas November Card Kit!

Hello. Hello!  

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  

I love Spellbinders Monthly Card Kits.  November's kit did not arrive on time due to shipping delays, but it is FINALLY here!  

Because it has arrived so late in the month, The Joyful Christmas Card Kit will not be a part of the monthly club, but will be sold ala carte!  Here are some of my cards with this fabulous kit~

 I just love this adorable image! It is part of the sweetest stamp set that is a part of this kit.   CAS was the way to go for this sweet critter.  The words, Twinkle and all the way, were heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  The mouse was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I popped her up over the 'i' in twinkle.  I added a curly q die in white for a little interest along with a few sequins.  The panel was mounted on pink cs.  

A card front panel was added to the card base; it was die cut with the fabulous new Fluted Classics Rectangles Dies.  These are my new favorite nested dies.  

Next up, I used the fabulous new poinsettia die that is part of the kit.  

I die cut my poinsettia in white and highlighted the leaves with a bit of light green.  I added three dark green leaves to it as well.  The foliage dies worked great for filler in my floral spray.  The background was done with Christmas tree paper from the festive paper pack included in the kit along with the Spellbinders Geometrical Florals Dies.  I used the inlaid die technique for this.  To finish the card, I added some gold dots I made with the dies and added a puffy sentiment sticker which is also part of the kit.  

I guess I had white poinsettias on the brain when I was working with this kit.  I made another spray using the poinsettia, holly leaf and evergreen sprigs.  The background is done with a sheet of watercolor paper and Ken Oliver Colorbursts.  I sprinkled red watercolor powder on the water color paper and then spritzed with water and moved the color around with a brush.  Once the panel was dry, I die cut it with the largest die and a medium die from the Fluted Classics Dies.  The smaller panel was popped up on fun foam.  The floral spray was added.  Lastly, the sentiment was heat embossed with white ep on vellum and adhered to the card.  A few sequins finish it off!

You can check out the new kit HERE.  You won't believe all of the product you get with the kit! 

Thanks for stopping by!

BIG LOVE

 Hello!  

Life seems to be a bit crazy right now.  Anyone else looking forward to the Thanksgiving break?  That is 5 days of bliss for me.  I am hoping to really get back into cardmaking.  It has been a struggle for a while.  

I did get this new die from Spellbinders, Be Bold Color Block Love You.  It is fun and unique, which is right up my alley.  

I turned it into a Christmas card, die cutting the letters from Gold Mirror Cardstock.  I mounted the letters onto a black card base.  The words peace and joy are heat embossed in gold embossing powder on black cs.  The words are from the Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set.  I embellished the card with an ornament, die cut from the Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline Dies, using Gold Mirror, red and green cs.  

This die is also perfect for Valentine's Day or just to let that special someone know you love them. 

 

This time I die cut the letters from a gel print that I made with my gel press plate.  They were adhered to a white card base.  Instead of leaving the negative space white, I used the negative space in gold mirror cardstock from the Christmas card above.  I kept this one very simple, die cutting the 'You' from grey cs.  So, it was kind of a two for one! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
