Thinking of You This Season - Holiday Card

Today’s card is a Christmas card using the Winter Woods stamps and the coordinating In The Woods dies from Stampin’ Up.

The angle shows the dimension you get from the tree and the background embossing. Mixing all the layers gives the card depth. Plus I like to add a little bling with the gold glitter enamel gems,

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of the card. I used the coordinating designer series paper and stamped the pine tree off the side to allow for space for a holiday message.

A Little Something Just For You.

Here’s another card using my favorite stamp set in the current Stampin’ Up catalog - Fancy Phrases. I’m not a girly girl and flowers aren’t normally my go to design but it’s something about the sketchy design and the sentiments that just speak to my crafty heart.

I always like to take an angled photo to give you a different perspective to the card. It also shows of the dimension is an eye-pleasing way. This photo shows off the lovely die cut from Tasteful Labels dies, the Elegant Faceted Gems and the fact that I don't always color inside the lines (which just proves it’s homemade). Isn’t this label die just gorgeous?!

Notice I added a little flower to the envelope? No reason you can’t add a smile to mail carrier’s face right?!

To a friend that makes me smile

The card for today was from a kit someone sent to me but I did what I call “freelancing”. This just means that I took the original design and amped it up to fit my style. This project uses one of my favorite stamps sets from Stampin’ Up…Forever Fern. The color combinations in the coordinated designer series paper is just gorgeous.

The soothing colors, textures and die cutting just make me smile. You can see the coordinating embossing folder, epoxy drops and multi colors of leaves all on display. Making this card was just so satisfying.

Remember my crafty friends, no naked envelopes!

Colorsplash #3: Wishing you the happiest of birthdays.

I took part in a Colorsplash Challenge which required the use of 4 colors: Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. Those colors and a new stamp set led me to this fun birthday card. Loving how the design shows off the texture of the embossing done to the Balmy Blue cardstock. #colorsplash3

At this angle you can see the cool stitching on the rectangle die and the rhinestones.

I couldn’t forget the inside of my card. A simple and bright message in Poppy Parade.
