Stampin' Up! Don't Stop Believin'

 Ho Ho Ho!
Check out this cute old fashioned Santa!
I used the 'Don't Stop Believin' stamp set on page 23 in the Holiday Catalog.
 
I couldn't decide which color I should color the Santa's glove.
I think that both of them would work.....but I went with the black one!

This is one of the cards that everyone made at my 
Annual Holiday Extravaganza event a couple of weeks ago!

I used the Red Foil on the bottom of the card!
And check out the white snowflakes on the top part of the card, 
made by using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder!
 This Santa's smile just makes me smile!

What do you think of the little belt I added around the card center?
Christmas will be here before you know it!!  
As Christmas is only 49 days away!!
 This photo just makes me smile too & I just had to share!
Ainslee loved my Santa card & I didn't think she was going 
to let me have it back for my class.
 
If all of us could only see life each day through the eyes of a child.
It is awesome & we are so blessed to see it through 6 sets of eyes around here!!!

Stampin' Up! Love of Leaves

 I have a monochromatic fall card to share with you today.
 I used the Love of Leaves Bundle on page 49 in the Holiday Catalog.
 
The stamp set it a disinktive stamp.
This means that it has some natural shadowing of light & dark spots in the stamps.
There is a lot of detail in this leaf.
And I am just in love with the stitching in these Stitched Leaves Dies.
How did I do this leaf?
  1. Stamped the leaf onto Whisper White card stock, using Smoky Slate ink.
  2. Die cut & embossed the leaf with the 2 separate dies, that I could do all at one time.  
  3. Cut out the outside leaf image from the center of a 3x3" Smoky Slate square.
  4. Emboss this square using the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder.
  5. Adhere layers.
  6. Pop up leave into the center of the Smoky Slate square, using dimensionals.
stamp set:  'Love of Leaves'
card stock:
  • Basic Black- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"- fold for card base.  This is a z fold card.

  • Whisper White- 3 1/4 x 3 1/4"
  • Whisper White- 1" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with Classic Label Punch
  • Whisper White- 3 3/4 x 5"- for inside of card
designer paper:  Plaid Tidings DSP- 2 x 5"

Stampin' Up! Have a Hoot

 OH my gosh......
Check out this 'Have a Hoot' stamp set!
 
I made this CUTE owl card over a month ago & I forgot to post it!
Even though Halloween was yesterday, I just had to still share this with you.

Isn't it adorable!
I made a cool window using the Best Plaid Builder Dies,
combined with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I love how it turned out.
stamp set:  'Have a Hoot'
card stock:
  • Pumpkin Pie- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  • Basic Black- 5 1/4 x 2 1/2"- emboss using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder
  • Early Espresso- 3 1/2 x 4 3/4"- die cut Stitched Rectangle dies- layer & cut at one time to make the outside of this window
  • Early Espresso- 2 3/4 x 4"- for the windows
  • Crumb Cake- 1 x 3 3/4"- stamp words onto
  • Whisper White- 2" strip- die cut spider web
  • Whisper White- 2 1/2 x 3 3/4"- stamp owl/tree onto
  • Whisper White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
  • Bumble Bee- 1 1/4" strip- die cut 1" circle
ink:  Memento

other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine; Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder; Best Plaid Builder Dies; Stitched Rectangle Dies; Peek-a-Hoot Dies (spider web); Layering Circle Dies (1")

How did I do it?
                              1.  Cut the outside of the window frame.                   
    
2.  This is what it looks like.  There is stitching on the outside edge & inside edge.
 3.  Now make the inside of the window.    
 4.  This is what it looks like when it is all cut. 
5.  Using a pencil, lightly draw around the center ride square- as that is where you want to stamp your owl at. 

6.  Try to stamp the owl into this square area.
7.  This is what it looks like when stamped.  And then erase the pencil mark.
 8.  Color the owl/tree.
 9.  Adhere the layers together!
I hope you have a SUPER Sunday!!
Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Gilded Autumn Suite

 Isn't this a cool fall card!
I love the way it turned out.
It is so pretty in person. 
Check this out......
as most of the products for this card came from the
Gilded Autumn Suite on pages 44-46 in the Holiday Catalog.
 
I LOVE the Gold Hoop!
I think the Gold accents just totally add to this card & make it pop!
And I love that this Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP coordinates with  
Autumn Punch Pack (acorn, maple leaf & oak leaf).
As I didn't stamp the leaves & acorn- I just punched them out the DSP!
 I can honestly say that Mint Macaron is not one of the normal colors 
that I would ever think of using for fall!  
But I chose these colors, as they coordinated with the 
Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP color pallet.
And I think it all turned out great!

stamp set:  'Beautiful Autumn' (words); 'Waterfront' (splatters)
card stock:
  • Cajun Craze- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  • Cajun Craze- 3 x 4 1/4"

  • Very Vanilla- 2 3/4" Circle- punch out 2 1/4" Circle & stamp words into the center of this.  The Gold Hoop then get attached over the top of this.  I added a little bit of the Multipurpose Glue directly to the Gold Hoop edge.  I let it dry for about 1 minute before I adhered it over the top of the 2" word stamped circle.  And I then adhered this to the center of the Very Vanilla card front.
  • Very Vanilla- 2 3/4 x 4"- stamp splatters to the top left & bottom right corners of this.  This is the piece that the Gold Hoop/word circle will be adhered to.
  • Very Vanilla- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card

I used the 'In the Pines' Bundle!

to make the 2 lines in the top & bottom window frames. 
 I made this into a fun z fold card, which is my favorite fold!
 
I think that the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder was 
the perfect accent for my card front.

Stampin' Up! Toile Tidings DSP

 Check out these old fashioned Christmas cards!

Yesterday I shared the red Christmas card above.
 
Today's card is made out of the same Toil Tidings DSP pack.
I just changed the color & the DSP pattern!

Take a close up look at this card.
If you like wild life & the wilderness, this DSP print if for you!

I added the words from the 'Peaceful Boughs' stamp set to complete it.
 I love how the Tis the Seasons DSP coordinated so well with this, 
as an added touch to the bottom of the card!
