Sepia Christmas

Hi there and welcome back...

Today's card has a bit of a Sepia photograph feel to it....and it features a Stamp Set that has been in the Stampin'Up! Catalogues from the very beginning.....and that is Lovely As A Tree.

 

The Stag image is from the stamp set Jolly Christmas and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from the Snow Place stamp set.

 

I masked off the bottom with some sticky notes and sponged Soft Suede over the top, then I stamped the group of trees in Soft suede on the top part of the card.

 

Then I removed the mask and stamped the large tree in Soft suede on the left of the card. I then stamped the sentiment also in soft suede and the Stag so it looks like its jumping over the sentiment.

 

Its hard to see in the photos but I added some sparkle to the trees with a glitter brush pen (something from the new Spring/Summer catalogue!) and along the horizon.

 

It's then mounted on to a Soft Suede card base.

Follow the Star

Hello and welcome back...

Today's card is similar to yesterday's, it features the fabby Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies....

 

The colours on this card are Island Indigo and  a little Night of Navy, its quite different to yesterdays which was more Navy so darker...

 

The star has been punched out of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack..and I have added some Dazzling Details to the sky for some extra sparkle..

 

The little dog I stamped in Early Espresso, he is from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set, is he chasing the Star?

 

I stamped the tiny snowman in Smoky Slate and coloured him in and I think he looks like he's watching the dog....lol

Lastly I stamped Believe in Island Indigo and punched it out with the Word Window punch, and added a sparkly word window behind it before popping it on the card with dimensionals.

 

I hope you love these cards as much as I do, thanks for stopping by...

Sleigh Ride Sparkle

Hello and welcome back...

I am so loving these Sleigh Ride Edgelits dies, they are so great and not just for Christmas cards.... Today's card is however a Christmas Card and its a beauty....

 

I made some backgrounds a while a go using the watercolour/salt technique, check HERE  for details, and I had two left over. I saw on Pinterest that someone had used Stampin'Up! Glimmer Paper to cut out their scene so thought I would try it.

 

Don't you just love the effect that salt makes its so pretty, anyway I sponged the trees with a little Garden Green so they would stand out but stay sparkly. And added a Star punched from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.

 

The cute little fox is from the Jingle All The Way Stamp Set and I stamped him in Cajun Craze and cut him out. The ribbon is Night of Navy Seam Binding Ribbon, my favourite, wrapped round and finished with a bow....

 

Lastly I stamped Believe in Night of Navy on Whisper White and punched it out with the word window punch. I used Mini Glue Dots to stick it to the ribbon.

So do you Believe....In the Magic of Christmas...or the true meaning of Christmas....just follow the star.

Hope you like thanks for stopping by.....

Believe

Hello and welcome back....


I really love today's card, it's just so Christmassy..... Do You Believe in the Magic of Christmas.....

Today's card is a beautiful brayered card inspired by Michelle Zindorf... The colours are Night of Navy. Island Indigo and Pool Party. The bottom of the card has been masked off with some scrap paper ripped into the shape of hills or snowdrifts what ever you want them to be really.

 

I sponged the moon with White Craft Ink and edged it with a white gel pen, then I stamped Santa and his reindeer  in Basic Black and added sparky magic beneath their feet with a white gel pen.

 

I stamped the trees from the Wonderland Stamp Set in black, using my mask to give different levels. Then I used a white gel pen to create highlights on the trees.

 

Lastly I stamped Believe in black on whisper White and punched it out with the word window punch, I added a second word window behind the white, punched out of Lost Lagoon card.

 

It's so, so pretty it makes me feel all Christmassy.....lol

A Jolly Cozy Christmas

Hello and welcome back...

 

 

This has got to be one of my favourite cards ever, I just love it. The Stamp Set is Jolly Christmas and the background is a mixture of brayering and sponging.

 

 

I cut two ovals using the Ovals Collection Framelits, one in Whisper White and one in Basic Black. I brayered Soft Sky on the top half of the Whisper White Oval then tore some scrap paper in the shape of a mountain and brayered Marina Mist over to create the mountains. Then I lightly sponged some Marina mist at the bottom of the mountains to make it look misty...

 

The bottom half I brayered Old Olive and a little bit of Mossy Meadow. Then I stamped the stag in Basic Black.

 

Then I layered all the pieces, added some Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon and a sentiment from the Cozy Christmas Stamp Set.

 

Such a beautiful image I just love it....

Well I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by....
