Peaceful Deer Bundle

 Happy Veteran's Day to all of our men & woman that serve our country- 
BLESS YOU!
 
I used the 'Peaceful Deer' Bundle (stamp set & Deer Builder Punch)
to make this card!
I think it turned out really pretty!
 
This could be a Christmas card or it would make a nice guy card too, 
depending on the words you use.
 
Check out the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder
that I used to emboss this Vellum card stock with.
NOTE:  When adhering the Vellum onto the Soft Succulent card stock
I used a Sponge Dauber & Multipurpose Glue.
 
How did I do this?
  • I put a little Multipurpose Glue onto my Silicone Craft Mat 
  • Lightly tapped a Sponge Dauber into the glue.
  • Lightly tapped the glue onto the back side of the embossed Vellum trees
  • Adhered onto the Soft Succulent card stock layer
This is one of the cards that everyone coming to my 
Christmas Stamp-a-Stack classes this month will be making.
NOTE:  The DSP may vary in pattern from the Painted Christmas DSP.

Here are the supplies & measurements.

One Sheet Wonder with Snowflakes!

 Check out these snowflakes that I stamped using the 'Snowflake Wishes' stamp set.

I stamped these vertically & horizontally down the center of
a 8 1/2 x 11" piece of Basic White card stock.
I stamped the snowflakes using Misty Moonlight ink.
 
For these 4 cards, 2 of them have bases that are 4 1/4 x 11" & 
2 of them have bases that are 5 1/2 x 8 1/2".
Check out below how they are basically all the same, but I have changed them up.
This one is an easel card.
I used the Hippo & Friends Dies to cut out the words.
NOTE:  The front of the is attached to the bottom end of 
the scored part only here as shown in the photo. 
This one is a simple one with the words stamped directly onto the
card stock & the ribbon tied around the end.
It is a z fold card & looks like this when opened up.
This is a 4 1/4 x 11" piece of card stock- score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2" to make this z fold.
NOTE:  Attach the card front to the left side of the card base only.
This is simple....yet so pretty!
I just love this sparkly ribbon.
It is the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
 This is what the inside looks like! 
For this one I used the Seasonal Label Dies 
to layer the words on the front of the card.
This is also an easel card, but is is also a z fold card.
 NOTE:  The card front is attached to the left side of the 
card front only to form the z fold & then stand up! 

stamp set:  'Snowflake Wishes'
card stock:
  • Misty Moonlight- 4 1/4 x 11" or 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"
  • Night of Navy- 4 x 5 1/4"

One Sheet Wonder with Gorgeous Leaves

It is SIMPLE Saturday!
Check out these gorgeous cards!
 
I did another One Sheet Wonder using the 
'Gorgeous Leaves' stamp set!

I LOVE FALL!
And I think these cards turned out super cute.
They are clean & simple, yet sooooo pretty!
 
Look below to see how I did this.......
 1.  I stamped the various leaves randomly down the center of this
8 1/2 x 11" Basic White card stock- 
going both vertically & horizontally.
2.  I cut this in half- at 5 1/2" horizontally & 4 1/4" vertically.
3.  I then trimmed 1/2" off of one of the 4 1/4" ends & 1/2" off of one of the 5 1/2" ends.
I trimmed off of the edges that had the most WHITE space.   
(DO NOT TRIM OFF THE SIDES that have the more dense leaf images.)
4.  The White piece of card stock with the leaf images needed to 
measure 3 3/4 x 5" for the exact same layout on my cards shown here.
I stamped the leaves in these colors-
Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie.
The tiny cluster of leaves are stamped in Soft Suede.
And the splatters is stamped in Crumb Cake.
These words are from the 'Heartfelt Wishes' stamp set.
I made this card into a fun Z fold.
The base of this card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
to make the Z fold.
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp sets:  'Gorgeous Leaves' & 'Heartfelt Wishes'
card stock:
  • Crumb Cake- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"- fold into a Z for card base

Eden's Garden

WOW!
Check out these cards I made with the Eden's Garden Suite!
 
 
I think that the Stitched Greenery Die & the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper
go so great with this Ever Eden Specialty DSP!
If you look closely you can see that I used the Stitched Greenery Die
on the whole Evening Evergreen card front!
How did I do this?
I die cut the vine image I used to layer behind the words.
I didn't end up using it as just an outline image-
I used it as a whole image.
 So I put the center piece that should be cut out, 
back into the die.
 I  used Tear & Tape to hold it in place.
I then took my pokey from my Take Your Pick Tool
& removed this from the die, keeping it all together in one piece!
AND this is what it looks like!
Cool huh!

Both of the cards on today's post are exactly the same, 
except I changed the DSP pattern on them.
This one has a White background based DSP strips.
I think that the Gold Metallic Specialty Paper strip just adds that special bling to the card!
The DSP strips on this card are Soft Succulent based.
 I just LOVE this card & these words!
I think it is very elegant.
 Which card do you like better?
This or That?

Here are the measurements & supplies.
stamp set:  Eden's Garden
card stock:
  • Evening Evergreen- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base
