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.

Hearth and Home Christmas

Hello and welcome back.....

Today's card follows on from yesterdays, it's using the Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies to create a six pane window...

 

So instead of being on the inside looking out we are on the outside looking in at a beautiful Christmas Tree and a cute little dog... The background is the Brick Wall embossing Folder, I took a piece of Sahara Sand Card and embossed it, then I brayered over the bricks with Chocolate Chip ink.

 

I cut the six pane window out of Choc Chip card and brayered very gently over it with Choc Chip ink. I stamped the pine garland in Garden Green and Choc Chip ink onto Whisper White and then cut it out.

 

The scene inside is stamped on a piece of Whisper White, the Christmas Tree is from the stamp set Lovely As A Tree and is stamped in Garden Green. I punched out tiny baubles from Red Glimmer Paper and stuck them onto the tree and I added some tiny stars punched using the Confetti Stars Border Punch. Then I stamped the cat from the Festive Fireplace Stamp Set, cut it out and coloured it black and stuck it to the card with dimensionals.

 

The little dog is from the Hey Girl Stamp Set, I stamped and coloured him in and gave him a sparkly red bow. I assembled the card in the same way as yesterdays card and lastly I added the sentiment from the Festive Fireplace Stamp Set.

 

Love the finished card....

Hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it..

September Card Class

Helloooo


I gave my ladies a treat at my card class, we made three cards using supplies from the new catalogue. We as Demonstrators were allowed to buy certain items form the catalogue before its launch on the 1st October.
I chose the new InColours kit, the gorgeous lace punch plus some other bits and pieces...
These are the cards we made....

 I am just loving the new in colours, especially Pool Party and Island Indigo, (well blues are my fave) and I teamed it with Dasher another favourite.

 Isn't that punch just gorgeous......

You can't see it very well but Dashers antlers are sparking with Dazzling Diamonds...

Another In colour Wild Whisteria, sooo pretty, again using the new punch and some Boho Blossoms.

 One card I debossed and the other I embossed for a slightly different look..

The sentiment is another favourite from the Curly Cute Stampset and I just had to add a few pearls, you just gotta love them....

The last card uses Lucky Limeade and an old favourite (still available) Lovely as a Tree stampset and of course lots of dazzling diamonds.



Thats all for now hope you enjoyed them...
