Pretty Poinsettia card

WOW! 
These are just gorgeous holiday cards. 
Aren't these poinsettia cards just so pretty!
This poinsettia die is just absolutely amazing!
 
This card is a fun joy fold card.
 
Which card do you like better?
THIS- Left?
or 
THAT- Right? 
 
Everyone joining me at my upcoming November monthly classes will be making this card. 
 
These are the exact same card.
I just made one so that it opened from the left & one so that it opened from the right.
Notice that the circle words are a 'latch' to hold the card shut.
 
If you want to do so, you could adhere the plaid flap along the edges & make a pocket card to put cash or money into for a gift card.   
Notice the detail in the poinsettia.
It is so pretty that it almost looks like it is real!
You can use the Impression Plate with this this die to make the poinsettia impression deeper, 
but I did not use it.  
I just die cut the poinsettia petals/leaves & did nothing else to them. 
So cool!!

Christmas Crew Snowman Tile Decor

Isn't this snowman just so cute!
He just makes me smile.
 
This is one of the projects that everyone who attended my 
Holiday Extravaganza made. 
 
I stamped this cute snowman onto a tile for a decor.
It will be something I can sit on my shelf & enjoy through the upcoming winter months! 
  
How did I do it?

  • I stamped using Memento ink onto the tile.
  • I then colored it using my Stampin' Blends.
 
 I have a cork square piece on the back side of this tile.
I WILL NOT use this as a coaster, as I don't want it to get wet.
I will display it on an easel stand & use a a decor.
 
 NOTE:  
Want to make a coaster tile to put your glass onto?
You could do this, but be very careful. 
You CAN lightly seal it using a Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss spray.
But be sure you use a very LIGHT spray & let it dry completely.
You can spray a few times to get a nice coat on it.
BUT know that IF you add too much spray over it, it will run & you'll ruin the stamped image on the tile!
I highly suggest that if you want to make a tile to use to put your glass onto that you use Stazon ink, a simple stamp design & little or no coloring on it.  
++++++++++++ 

Here are the supplies I used.
stamp set:  'Christmas Crew' (snowman)
ink:  Memento
Stampin' Blends:  Real Red; Balmy Blue; Basic Black; Bronze; Pecan Pie; Pumpkin Pie
SU! products now retired:  Dazzling Diamonds Glitter; 2 Way Glue Pen
 
I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!
Happy Stamping!

Winter Adventures Fun Inside Z Fold Card

WOW!
Look at this beautiful card. 
This is a winter wonderland!
I am so impressed with this amazing bundle.
This is a totally Susie card. 
 
Notice the Peaceful Pine Shimmer I added to the trees! 
 I used the
#168312- Winter Adventures Bundle= $51.25 
 
This is one of the cards that everyone joining me at my
Holiday Extravaganza made.
 
This card has a fun inside Z Fold "surprise"!
Now isn't this cool!
Check it out when it is standing up!
I put a battery tea light behind the vellum 'windows'.
It is just so pretty when you see it in person!
 
I put adhesive sheets onto the Basic White/Peaceful Pine card stock 
before I die cut the trees & snowflakes.
This made it so much easier to stick them onto the card front & vellum arches.
 
The trees/circle on the card front is an Impressions Die that can cut 
AND then you run it through again to emboss it & add the textural details.
NOTE:  You will need the Impressions Plate to get the deep embossed look with it.
 So what do you think of this card?
I hope you like it as much as I do. 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Winter Adventures'
card stock:
  • Peaceful Pine- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"
  • Two-Tone Peaceful Pine- 3 1/2 x 4"- die cut oval/tree image & the emboss it using the Impressions Plate to get more detail in it 
  • Peaceful Pine- 4" strip- add adhesive sheets to the back side & die cut trees 
  • Basic White-1/2" strip- stamp words onto for card front
  • White Willow- 4 x 12"- score at 3", 6" & 9"- die cut arches in the 2 center pieces as shown in the photo above
  • Basic White- 3/4 x 2 3/4"- stamp words for inside of card & adhere
  • Vellum- 3 x 4" (x2)- I adhered by lightly using liquid 
designer paper:
  • Alphine Winter DSP- punch out 2 3/8" Circle
  • Wood Grain Wonders DSP- 4 x 4"
  • 2026-2028 In Color Gingham DSP- Peaceful Pine- 1 1/4 x 4" 
ink:  Peaceful Pine
other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Winter Adventures Dies; Impressions Plate; Everday Arches Dies; Adhesive Sheets; Peaceful Pine 3/8" Bordered Ribbon; Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels; Peaceful Pine Shimmer Brush; 2 3/8" Circle Punch; dimensionals
NOTE:  IF you have the 2 1/2" Circle Punch it works perfectly for punching out the DSP.  When you use the 2 3/8" Circle Punch there will be alittle space in the bottom left corner that you can hide with die cut tree. 
 
I hope you have a great Thursday!
Happy Stamping!
