Country Home - No DSP

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Friday.....yipeeeeee!!! Hope you had a great week and have a fabulous weekend planned.  The Country Home stamp set is my stamp of choice for today's card.

This card (like many of my cards) does not use any DSP. I have chosen to use the Tufted Embossing Folder for a subtle background. A vellum die cut shape and Black Bakers twine have been added over the Soft Sea Foam card front. The tile image has been stamped onto Soft Sea Foam card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut.

The images have been coloured using Stampin' Blends and fussy cut. Mini dimensionals were used to adhere all the images over the stamped tile panel and vellum.

The card front has been adhered to a layer of black card stock which was then adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty x

So Santa - Baking Santa

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a great day. I have a quick post sharing another Christmas card made with the ever cute So Santa stamp set. This time I have decided to ink up the Baking Santa image.

I have created a Folder Card - the side folded card sits inside the little folder. Lovely Lipstick card stock has been used for the Folder with Whisper White for the card base.

Granny Apple Smith Brights DSP in the dotty pattern has been added to both the Folder and card fronts along with some Lovely Lipstick ribbon.

The image has been stamped and coloured using Stampin' Blends. The sentiment was then stamped above the image and die cut.  This panel has been adhered to the DSP with dimensionals.

To finish the card a strip of DSP has been adhered to the inside of the card and a few 'Baking' utensil die cuts added to the ribbon.

Yipee, that is another Christmas card added to the stash! Thanks for stopping by today, until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Country Home with Wood Textures

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great week.  Today's card is another using the fabulous new Country Home stamp set. It is also another quick and easy creation, enabling me to whip up a few in a short amount of time.

I have started with a Black Card Base, to which I have added a piece of Wood Textures DSP. The card front has been stamped twice (with a gap in between the two images). The stamped images were coloured using Stampin' Blends.

Before attaching the stamped card front to the DSP, I have used the criss cross stitched die from the Stitched Labels Framelits and then wrapped Black and White Bakers Twine in between the die cut lines.

The sentiment from the Country Home stamp set has been inked in Black, die cut using a frame from the Foliage Frame Framelits and then adhered it over the Bakers Twine using mini dimensionals.

Love this stamp set as much as I do? Click on the image above to be taken to my Online store.

Signs of Santa - Masking

Good Day Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great day. My Christmas card collection is growing fast, thanks to the Signs of Santa stamp set, I am pumping them out.

Today's card uses lots of masking to achieve Santa's and Mrs Claus huge posse of helpers. I started by stamping the elf in one corner and working my way along the bottom of the card front and then behind.

The images have been stamped and coloured using Stampin' Blends in: Cherry Cobbler, Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green.

Before adhering the card front to the base, I trimmed it down slightly and stamped the sentiments. Two strips of Brights DSP in lovely lipstick were adhered to the card base with Tombow. A thin strip of Black card has been adhered to the card front before adhering to the base.

The Signs of Santa stamp set (below) is part of a large suite which includes: dies, DSP, Memories and More cards, enamel shapes, twine, rhinestones ribbon and the cutest little Santa Sacks. Be sure to make your christmas crafting easy with coordinated products like this cute suite or one of the others in the new HOLIDAY catalogue.

Dazzling Diamonds & First Frost

Good Day Crafty Friends,

The Frosted Floral Suite is absolutely stunning. The coordinating items that make up this gorgeous suite can be found in the new Holiday Catalogue on Pages 37-38.

Part of the suite is the First Frost stamp set #148420 which I have used to create today's card.

The floral images have been stamped and sponged with Highland Heather and Flirty Flamingo inks, on the edge of a piece of whisper white cardstock and then fussy cut.

To get the Dazzling Diamonds to adhere to the stamped images, I took a thin paintbrush and dabbed it into Tombow Multipurpose Glue and painted the flowers with a thin even coat. Then simply pour over some Dazzling Diamonds and let dry or if your patience filter is absent (like mine) then you can use a heat gun to dry the Tombow.

Before adhering the cardfront to the base,  the sentiment was gold heat embossed and then layered over a piece of Highland Heather cardstock.

That is all from me today. Thanks for stopping by, until next time, stay awesome, stay organised and stay crafty

Santa's Workshop - Signs of Santa - Brights DSP

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a great week. I have a quick post to share today a couple more cards created with the Santa's Workshop stamp set, which is available now from the new HOLIDAY catalogue - Page 19 item #147690.

Both cards also use small strips of the 6"x 6" Brights DSP Pack - Annual Catalogue, Page 191 item number #146964.

To compliment the strips of Gorgeous Grape DSP, I have sponged a little ink on the centre of the whisper white card front. I have also stamped it with a couple of snowflakes in smoky slate ink.

The Santa and elves were stamped and coloured using Stampin' Blends in Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay, fussy cut and adhered with mini dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Blended Seasons Stamp set.

The second card uses strips of the dotty side of a piece of Melon Mambo DSP. It also has a whole pose of elves! The elves have been stamped, masked and coloured directly onto the whipser white card front. The Merry Christmas from Blended Seasons stamp set has been used with the smaller sentiment from the Signs of Santa stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to check back regularly as I have a whole heap of cards scheduled to post this month - most are Christmas inspired but there are a few others thrown in as well. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty
