Thinking of You This Season

Thinking of You This Season with Stampin’ Up’s Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Winter Woods stamp set.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…I love a card with trees. Here’s a card front using the Winter Woods stamp set and 3 generations of stamping to achieve a layered look to my tree. I inked up the block with some Shaded Spruce ink and stamped in the center (1st generation), then I stamped again - without reining to the lest of my original tree (2nd generation) and the final tree was stamped again, without inking to the right of the original tree (3rd generation). One ink pad creates three color ways.

The angle shot shows the lift I get to the layers using dimensional adhesive. You also get a close up look at the sentiment and punch. It’s a simple card in that there is some basic stamping but a lot of layers in color cardstock and Designer Series Paper. No bling on this one so it would be a great candidate for the men on your Christmas list.

My angle photo really makes the craft ribbon bow just pop! This is a fun bow I purchased in a set of 6 from Hobby Lobby. You can also make your own if you happen to be a good bow-tier…I’m not so when I saw this pre-done and with dimensional adhesive I was in heaven.

Remember peeps, no naked envelopes! Here I just threw some extra matching paper on the envelope flap. Easy-peasy.

Happy Birthday Aliza!

A pretty pink plaid birthday card using Stampin' Up products Plaid Tidings, Piece of Cake, Stampin' Blends, Wrapped in Texture, In Color Enamel Dots and Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. This card also uses a sketch from Operation Write Home.

This weekend my neighbor Aliza turned 5 years old! It has been a very exciting week leading up to the big day. It was announced every day to me in the backyard over the fence so I wouldn’t forget. She was going to the beach for the weekend to celebrate. I know she, her parents, and her big brother Trace had a wonderful time. In honor of her birthday I created this simple, but fun, card in her favorite color…PINK!

I used a sketch from Operation Write Home as a foundation but did a little free-lancing. I used some pink plaid, and why wouldn’t you for a 5 year old girl’s birthday card, and some cool enamel dots in, you guessed it, pink!

The angle in this photo highlights the dimension I achieved using one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders as well as shows off the coloring I did using Stampin’ Blends. Don’t forget the fussy-cutting on did on the Happy Birthday sentiment. Only the best for Aliza!

I also used my Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend (light) to color the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Ribbon pink to coordinate with the card. And I always insist on a coordinating envelope. Here I used some of the excess designer paper and added it to the flap of the envelope. Don’t tell Aliza, but I’m adding five-one dollar bills in the card…one for each year. I can’t wait to give it to her!
