Happy Friday, today’s card features a stack of elves. I just love how the elves on the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper match the coordinating Santa’s Signpost Framelits Dies, which are part of the Signs of Santa Bundle.

The card starts with a Garden Green card base and Basic Black mat, next is a piece of Whisper White that has been stamped with the Buffalo Check Background stamp using Poppy Parade Ink. Green elves are adhered direct to the card front and Red Elves are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals as is the Sign Post.  Greeting is in Memento Black ink on Whisper White and punched out using the 2″ Circle Punch, matted on a Basic Black Starburst. The enamel images I used for bling can easily be replaced with Red or Clear Rhinestones or even Snowflakes from the die set using Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

Do you see Mrs. Claus peeking out?

Today’s card feature using Shimmer Paint with Glossy White Cardstock. For all three cards I used the same method to first apply the shimmer paint to all three cards – a crumbled piece of plastic wrap (from your kitchen).  All you need to do is crumble a piece of plastic wrap about the size of a golf ball, tap into some shimmer paint you added to a silicone mat and tap all over the glossy white cardstock, wait a few minutes to make sure dry and then add color if you chose.

This first card using Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint on the Glossy White with no color added, the words Merry Christmas are die cut using Call Me Clover card stock. Card base is Lovely Lipstick, a more modern red/green for Christmas.

For this card, the card base and ink used to color the background is Bermuda Bay, with Frost White Shimmer Paint. Sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage stamp set and heart die cut from the coordinating Support Ribbon Framelits. To add the color I used a cut section of a sponge and dapped all over to the color I liked. Once all the color was applied I did go over the glossy paper with a paper towel to get off any excess ink.

The final card uses Frost White Shimmer Paint applied with crumbled plastic wrap and wiped over with Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss ink. There are two layers of Happy Birthday adhered together before adhered to card using Thick Whisper White card stock.

Hopefully these cards will want you to try using Shimmer Paint, and with the Frost White you can use a reinker to make it any color you desire!

Thanksgiving is a national holiday here is the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It originated as a harvest festival and has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, with a proclamation by George Washington.

Thanksgiving was originally founded as a religious observance for all the members of the community to give thanks for a common purpose. The tradition of giving thanks is continued today in many forms, most notably the attendance of religious services, as well as the saying of a mealtime prayer before Thanksgiving dinner. At home, it is a holiday tradition in many families to begin the Thanksgiving dinner by saying grace, a prayer before or after a meal. At most dinner tables it is also common practice for each person to tell one specific reason they’re thankful that year.

Today we will be having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner: roasted turkey, homemade stuffing, dumplings with gravy, corn, carrots, mashed potatoes, rolls and pumpkin pie for dessert.

I thought I would make a simple card featuring the Country Home stamp set in honor of everything I’m thankful for, including family, friends and our health.

Hope you all have a wonderful day. Stop back tomorrow for the beginning of the Stampin’ Up! Online Extravaganza.

Ok, so we all buy designer series paper because it’s just so cute, but which side do you use? If you are like me you always have a favorite side and the “other” side goes unloved – well today’s cards features that “other” side from the Country Lane Designer Series Paper. I picked a Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss print, both cut 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″. The Blackberry Bliss piece was run through the Big Shot using the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (another step we don’t always thing of – embossing folders are not just for card stock).

For the cards, I started with a Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ for a top folding card and both have a mat of Blackberry Bliss cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″.  Before one mat was adhered to the card base, I used the Happy Birthday Thinlits to die cut Happy Birthday. The other Happy Birthday was using Sparkle Glimmer paper, the Big Shot Die Brush helped get out all the little bits.

Stop back Friday, November 23rd for the start of Stampin’ Up! Online Extravaganza!

Happy Saturday, today is my last full day here in Orlando, boy does time fly when you are with all your Stampin’ Up! friends.

Today’s card is the one I designed for the On Stage Tropical Occasions Swap, hosted by the Diva’s in Paradise – Nancy Alvarez and Susan Fields, which was yesterday afternoon.

My card combined the So Santa Stamp set from the 2018 Occasions catalog with the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper and Under the Sea Framelits for a cool Christmas card for all the beach lovers in your life! The combination of die cut images and Tranquil Texture Sprinklets adds a nice dimension to card.
