Stampin Up, Playing with Christmas goodies


You can't go wrong with a Christmas card made using the fabulous Woodland Embossing folder.
This was one of my class cards this week. They had a great time doing it.

To get this effect you first use your brayer to roll on the background color on the side of the folder with the Sizzix name, make sure the fold is toward you, then layer on the trees from Wonderland at the bottom where the fold is, carefully lay down your cardstock and run through the Big shot.

It was a little plain for me, so I stamped on some ornaments from Among the Branches. BTW, that is the stamp set bundled with the Woodland embossing folder.

Here are a couple or so more examples, after I got started I couldn't stop playing.

Stampin Up PPA 270, Sleigh ride



Ever seen gold snowflakes? Me either, but wouldn't that be something?!  I used a piece of the vellum from the pack of Winter Wonderland Vellum to cover my trees.  It kind of makes it look like a snowy overcast day, doesn't it?
Now I live in the desert of AZ, actually it does snow here just a tiny bit some winters, but it's gone just as quickly, but I have lived in snow country.  Thankfully, not anymore.   But it's fun to look at.

I really didn't think I'd find this many uses for the Sleigh Ride framelits, but they keep popping into my head.  I could have made this card without, but I think it added so much.

My base colors for this week are the challenge colors, before I show them to you, I'll tell you I stamped the trees on Sahara Sand, not white.
Here are the colors, come play with us!

Stampin Up, Silent Night Christmas card



Isn't this pretty? I love the peaceful Christmas cards that remind us of a more old fashioned Christmas.  Quiet with snow and sleighs.

For this one I used the new set of framelits called, Sleigh Ride, you can get the bundle of it with sentiment stamps that match the curves.  There are 3 layers, I left the tree layer out, use all 3, or just one, it's up to you.

I started with a piece of Watercolor paper, and did the sky first. I brushed on plenty of water, then picked up some Marina Mist or Tempting turquoise with my brush  and just brushed where ever I felt like.

When it dried, I stamped on the trees from Wonderland, and then cut my 2 pieces from the framelits. I brushed on Dazzling Details glitter glue, and added more glitter from Dazzling Dimonds.  Added my sentiment and that was all.

I hope you enjoyed and got some ideas of your own. 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.
