Stampin Up, Playing with Embellished Ornament stamps and dies

I saw a card in a scrapbook shop one day that grabbed my attention. It used non SU product, so mine has our Embellished Ornament die and the scene is from Cozy Christmas. I was so taken with it that I decided to try it with SU product and I love how it turned out!

I made mine with two different ink colors, Night of Navy and Marina Mist.  I first stamped my designs using Staz-On black, then watercolored using my Aqua Pen, then I used my Versa Mark pad to put some ink on the bottom under the house and trees.   I sprinkled on Heat and Stick, heated, then added Dazzling Diamonds and heated again.  It's hard to see the glitter here, but in person it's very glittery and pretty.

I stamped my sentiment on before embossing with the Softly Falling folder.  Then I went mad with pearls.  I think I was channeling Ann Schach.  Well, really I had a pack with just a few pearls in it that had been sitting in front of me for ages, so I just used them all.

I hope you enjoy this and get some inspiration from it.

Merry Little Christmas, Mojo Monday 414

You don't usually see me using this much Designer Series Paper, normally if I use it, it's just a bit here and there.  But it just lent itself to this sketch so much.   I have had this framelit set setting in front of me on my desk since I got it.

I love how there are 2 sets of each shape, 3 per set, that's a lot of tags and labels.  I picked out tags from both size sets to get my look.  The middle one is gold foil, it just does not show well in a photo, but it shines so pretty.

Here is the sketch, it's a simple one, come try it.  Doing challenges can really sharpen your skills.

Stampin Up, Mojo Monday 412

It may seem  a little early for Christmas cards, but crafters have to get cards and gifts done.  And I am in love with so many of the new Christmas sets in the Holiday catalog!

This beautiful set has Pointsettias done a couple ways and the stamps that can be used to make  Pointsettia leaves to be punched out using the new punch.   For this one I stamped in our new Black and used my ink pads and Aqua Painter to paint the flower.
The glimmer paper set it off perfectly.
