Bird and a Poinsettia Border

Hello Friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share three holiday cards, using beautiful new release stamps from Technique Junkies.

I chose to work with #S914 Bird and Poinsettia Border today. Hope you like this stamp as much as I do!

First up, was this pretty blue card. The image was stamped in a soft shade of blue onto a shiny silver cardstock, and matted onto a blue base. I totally love this one!

Moving on, I repeated the process with a tan theme. Love this one too! (It's not as dark as it looks in real life - more of a silvery tan). 

Now, comes the mess.... this one was heat embossed in silver, and then colored with copic markers and fussy cut, adhering the image to a burgandy colored card base. Lol...I like the first two cards much better! What do you think?

So glad you stopped by today!

I Hate Housework

 Hi there!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'LOL - make a funny or snarky card'.

Here's what I made:

The older I get the more I dislike cleaning - I'd much rather be creating!

I found a fun stencil at Walmart the other day, and decided to go simple with this card. I stenciled the background, stamped and matted the sentiment and Ta-da, Ta-done!!!

Wendy has a fun selection of funny/snarky stamps in her Funny Bones section - you really should go take a peek!!!

I used this Repeat Impressions' stamp:

Santa's List

Hi everyone!

I'm back today with another fun Christmas card !

Remember, we send out over 180 cards each year, so I am always looking for some fun, easy cards that can be easily mass produced.

This adorable image, Santa's List, from Jan's Digi Stamps, comes in either a black and white, or a pre-printed format. Once again, I was looking for fast and easy, so I chose the pre-colored image, matted it on pink, and then on a white card base

I wish you could see the tiny embellishing that I did with Glossy Accents & Wink of Stella! So cute!

I'm off to create...!

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Light of Faith

Hello! I have two quick and easy, pretty Christmas card to share today!

For these cards, I used a new release stamp set #SS142 Light of Faith, Set of 4.  For each card, the sentiments were stamped onto white cardstock with pink ink, matted with gray, then pink, and trimmed out in silver. The gray card base was created by using pink ink and an Ink Blending Brush, and the Dancing Sprigs Stencil. The focal panel was then popped up with dimensional foam. Aren't these pretty? Took about 10 minutes per card. Seriously!

These sentiments are gorgeous! They would be a wonderful addition to your Christmas sentiment stamps!

The cards were super easy! Give it a try!

So glad you stopped by today!

No Tricks, Just Treats

Hi there, crafty friends!

 It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is 'No Tricks, Just Treats'. We want to see your Trick or Treat style cards and hopefully some fun treat holders!!!

Here's what I made - It's a treat box (haven't bought Halloween treats yet, so it's an empty box, so far):

These ready-made boxes from Stampin' Up made this one a breeze! A bit of patterned paper, and some stamping, paper piecing, and fussy cutting, and voila!!!

I used these Repeat Impressions' stamps:

Halloween Witch

Best Witches

Vintage Ornaments

Hello there!

I have a pretty Christmas card to share today!

For this card, I used a new release stamp, #SD1121 Vintage Ornaments. The image was stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. The panel was cut down, matted on the sides with a brushed silver cardstock, and set aside. I folded my card base, and stenciled #STE001 Jingle Bells, with Versamark Ink, giving a shadow stamping effect. The focal panel was then popped up with dimensional foam to the right of the card front.

Super easy! Give it a try!
