Simple Saturday with the Love of Leaves Bundle!


 It is Saturday,  so check out today's simple card!!!
I used the 'Love of Leaves' Bundle.

And look at the cool Gold accents with the 
Gold Hoop Embellishment & Gold Cord!
 
I flicked on some Rich Razzleberry splatters with my  
Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Marker & the cap of the marker!
And then sprayed some Champagne Shimmer Mist over it for some added sparkle!
 
The cool plaid DSP is from the Plaid Tidings DSP pack.
The stitching in this leaf die is just so cool!
How did I attach the Gold Hoop Embellishment?  I lightly added a little bit of the Multipurpose Glue around the back of the hoop, let is dry for about 1 minute & the pressed it down onto the center of the card front.   

NOTE:  I did stamp the words onto the center of the card front BEFORE I adhered the Gold Hoop Embellishment

Stampin' Up! Slim Line Daisy card

 Wow-
Slim Line cards are very popular right now!
They are something that I have made for years.
Their size works perfectly to fit in a legal envelope.
I have made many cards this size for wedding invites, birthday invites 
& Christmas cards over the years, doing this Slim Line size card!
 
What size is this Slim Line card base? 
7 x 8 1/2"- score long wise at 3 1/2" & fold in half
++++++++
Today is my mom's birthday!!
So this is the card that I made for her.
 I hope she likes it!
I just love the way it turned out! 
And I'm so excited to share lots of photos & details here with you about it!
I combined the leaves, sprigs & flower centers that are from the Poinsettia Dies,
with the Daisy Punch & Medium Daisy Punch!
My goal was to make it look fallish.
Look at this GORGEOUS Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper!
WOW.....it is just beautiful!
 
And check out the sparkle!
I sprayed the card with the Champagne Shimmer Mist Spray over it!
Look at the center of the flowers!  
They are so cool & made with the Poinsettia Dies.
I used the words from the 'Beautiful Autumn' stamp set.
It is on page 46 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
And these awesome stitched dies around the words are from the Hippo & Friends Dies.
They are on page 176 in the Annual Catalog!
Check out them!
They are really neat too!
Here are the different dies from the Poinsettia Dies that I used!
See how the inside of the leaves are embossed!
And the little flower center is embossed too!
This is the leaf die, that I'm cutting out.
It is 2 different pieces...one that cuts out the image 
& one that embosses the leaf veins.
You can emboss & cut them both at one time by layering them like this together!
 
Just look at the NEW Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!
I am totally in LOVE with it!
Shown above, I'm cutting on the NEW self healing Magnetic Platform!
It is thin & it is a solid Magnetic Platform!
Your dies don't hop, skip & jump around when using it!
It is just amazing!

Stampin' Up! Celebration Tidings

Check out this pretty Christmas card!!
I used the 'Celebration Tidings' stamp set.
Check it out on page 58 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a couple of other cards using this stamp set.
One was a fall one & the other one was a Christmas one.
This is a fun z fold card.
Check it out when it is standing up!
 
Where did these metallic berries come from?
They are from the Sequins for Everything- #153556= $12.00 
on the Mini Catalog- pg. 66
Check out the center of the card......this "technique is called block stamping".
 How did I do it?
  • Here I stamped the pines/berries using Shaded Spruce ink.
  • Then took the CLEAR BLOCK C.
  • I inked it into Soft Seafoam ink.
  • I then pressed it down over pines/berries.
  • And check out the neat rectangle shading I got by doing this.
