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, 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.

10 Days of Christmas, 2014, Day 4


Welcome to day 4 of my 10 Days of Christmas.   Today I used Ornamental Pine. Such a sweet, calm stamp set.  I choose to emboss the pine with a Versamark pad and White embossing powder. I love the snow effect a simple grunge stamp gives to this, and I love the Night of Navy CS that looks like night time.  I embossed the ornament in gold and tied it up with linen thread.

I think the stars really add to the night time effect.

I hope you got some ideas for your cards.
