Stampin Up, Peaceful Pines Christmas card



Taking a photo of a number 10 card is quite the challenge. The envelop here really does fit even tho it looks smaller here.

I start with the envelop, measure and decide how much room my card needs.  For this one my card is 9" long by 7 1/2" wide.  You'll score at 3 3/4" down the middle.  I am not wonderful at math so you may what to check that.

I do love how this card turned out, it started out to  be a sketch challenge entry, but when I got done it just was not looking like the sketch.   Hello Honey is the perfect color here, it sure looks like gold.

So, what do you think of my little unconventional card?  Love to know.

Stampin Up, Global Design Project #012


This week we are to CASE a card done by Brian King.  Actually they just want you to take away some inspiration from Brian's card and create one of your own from something on his card.

So, here is mine. I loved the snow scene, especially the snowflake background, faintly showing.
I added my snow piles, I cheated, I used the Sleigh Ride thinlit set to create the shape, and just trimmed off the part of the design sticking up.

I think it's a very peaceful scene, something I seem to be aiming for a lot this year. I think we can all use some peaceful times with everything going on in our world and especially our country.

The silver tree is silver embossed with a silver foil star and the snow flakes are made using a versamark pad.    If you haven't tried it, you get a very tone on tone look, no matter what color your cardstock is.

Thanks for checking in. I hope both Brian and my cards are giving you some inspiration of your own.

Stampin Up, Paper Players sketch challenge 272


I LOVE this silver snowflake vellum!!!  And when I love something, I don't use it. Yup, bet more of you are like that. I decided it needed to be used.  Someone on my Christmas card list will be getting this.

Silver is really hard to take photos of, it comes off dark, but it's not.  The tree is silver embossed and just gorgeous.

I used Soft Sky for my base card,  and I wanted to keep as much of the vellum showing as I could and still be true to the sketch, so the sentiment needed to be a die. I love all the dies for words and sayings!  So much of what we have today was not even dreamed of way back when we started stamping.  Yup, I was there when it all started. 

We had a stamp board on the old Prodigy Service, no internet yet, and we would all meet and either go to stamp stores or hit up the Printer supply house for great cardstock and stuff.   Raise your hand if you were there too! It was an exciting and fun time.

 Here is the sketch:


I hope you enjoyed my card and it gives you some inspiration.  Have you started your Christmas cards yet?

Stampin Up, Looking through the window


These windows are addictive!  This was one for class last month. I never post my class cards before class cause then it wouldn't be a surprise. LOL

There are so many sets you can use this season to see outside or inside the window!  Here I used one of the sets from Happy Scenes, which is bundled with the dies, and one of the Sleigh ride thinlits.

I love how it appears a horse and sleigh is passing through.  You can pick out DSP to use as wallpaper, or you can make it appear you are looking in, maybe at the decorated tree or the fireplace with stocking hanging.  Below I have a couple more I made to show the class. I was just having too much fun making these.

 The one above uses  Cozy Christmas stamps, and the one below, Festive Fireplace and Peaceful Pines. 
So many pieces so many things you can do with them. So much fun!

Thanks for stopping by.
