GDP054, A Happy Christmas

I have the most awful time taking photos with the gold acetate!  I need a better way to light it up I think, what I normally do just doesn't seem to work for this.

So, it looks so much nicer in person!

Here is the sketch from GDP for this week.
Very simple card, 2 gold foil strips on top, the Fabulous Foil Acetate over Sweet Sugar Plum. Then the banner and the bells have a glue dot to attach them under the banner.  I also hid the glue on the acetate under the banner.  And that is about it.

One of the things I don't like, and there are not many, about Blogger, is that I have no way to contact anyone who leaves a comment, so please understand that. If you leave a question you want answered in the comment section, I will answer but you will have to come back here to see it. Sigh....

As always, click on any link to go to my store. You don't have to buy when you go there, you can check out product, go through the catalog, and see the current specials.   Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stampin up, PPA 279






I just love all the elegant products we have to work with this year. SU out did themselves.
This ornament is gold foil.  Base card is Real Red with white on top and a piece from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum stack.  Beautiful gold embossed snowflakes on vellum.

The ornament is from the Delicate Ornament Thinlit dies.  I think the over all look is very elegant.

Stampin Up, Freshly Made Sketches challenge #211



A clean and simple card for the Freshly Made Sketches. SU has so many beautiful products in this Holiday catalog I'm having a hard time using them all.  I'm so tempted to save all those pretty goodies, and I'm trying really hard not to do that, they need to be used!

On this card I used Gold foil, Winter Wonderland Designer Series Paper and Winter wonderland vellum on my circle.  The black and golds this year are just so pretty!

Here is the sketch, come on over and play.
Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts Challenge #273


SURPRISE! A Christmas card! LOL. Ok, I know I do a lot of them, but hey how else can I play with all the absolutely wonderful SU Holiday goodies?

This DSP is fabulous!  All shiny, gold and black, and so much fun to use. If you don't get any other DSP, do get this one.  I used gold foil peeking out from under the black snowflake  design from Winter Wonderland DSP. I could easily have used black for the sentiment here and it would have looked stunning, but I love my colors, so I added in a touch of Cherry Cobbler.

I hope you enjoy, come play with us at the PPA!

Stampin Up, Global Design Project 006


It's not enough to make a great card, you also have to take a great photo, not always the easiest thing to do. This one was one of those hard ones. Gold embossing on black, but it's stunning in person.  It's hard to see, but there is a gold foil layer between the Very Vanilla and black.  I love this stamp set. To get just the dove without the sentiment I covered it with a post it, then put on my Versa Mark ink and took the post it away to stamp.

The sentiment is beautiful, but I simply didn't have room for it with this design and I do love how it turned out. So it can be used inside instead.

The design on this stamp is a really nice one if you like to color in, but as you see, it can be done other ways. You could use gold, silver or white embossing and water color inside or sponge inside ect.

This week at GDP was a sketch challenge, so many beautiful examples by the team, check them out.

Sure hope I have inspired you, thanks for stopping by.

Stampin Up, Pals Paper Arts challenge # 268 All is Calm


I had this idea rolling around in my head for  most of a day, so when I got up the next morning I made my coffee and sat right down to put in on paper.    Actually, there is a second card as well and I'll post it down below.

I LOVE doing watercolor. I'm not very good at it, but I keep trying, and would love to find a class. This one was pretty simple though.  The Aqua Painter is great for something like this, my one tip that I have figured out over time, is to make sure your watercolor paper is nice and wet before you start adding color to it, at least if you are using an ink pad to pick up your color from.

The snowflakes are made using the Versamark pad and embossed in white, then I watercolored, made up my ornament and then stamped the sentiment.  All pretty simple.

The envelop was made using the Envelop Punch board. My card is 5 1/2" square.  When making a square card, it's pretty handy to be able to make the matching envelop.

Card #2.


As always I hope I've given you a bit of inspiration, thanks so much for stopping by.

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.
