Nests of Winter Card

The last few days I’ve seen a lot of birds of all species and colors in the woods behind our house which inspired today’s card.

Card features the Nests of Winter 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Images coordinate with two dies from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle.  Also, easily fussy cut with paper snips. Card features fussy cut image.

Designer Series Paper embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder and matted on piece of Coastal Cabana card stock before adding to the card front. Stylish Shapes Die Cut Circle has been adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Earth Tone Shimmer Gems add just the right amount of sparkle to the card.

Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder is expected back in stock the week of November 11th.

Oct24 Sunday Stamper Cards

Finally, it’s here, today my Sunday Stamper meet to make three projects.

First up is a card featuring the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. The greeting used is from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.

 

Here’s the inside of the card. Greeting is from Reindeer Fun stamp set, while the tree is from the Frosted Trees Bundle.

Next, card features the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper but Splendid Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper would work well with the design. Three trees die cut from Frosted Trees Bundle and die cut a window or not.


Next, two samples using different sheets of the Regal Winter 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This layout is perfect for any designer series paper.

Pumpkin Spice yes or no?

Happy Monday, hope you had a good weekend. Mine started out with a craft show I was a vendor at on Saturday, it was a lot of fun!

When I first saw the More Than Autumn Bundle and “Pumpkin Spice”, being someone who believes pumpkin should be pie, cake or cookies, thought I don’t need that bundle – well boy was I wrong.

It’s a fun bundle to use and works perfect for anyone wanting to give a coffee gift card.

Here are two cards I’ve made that incorporate a gift card holder. This design can be used for any occasion and paper!

Next, inside of the card.

Before I show you the second card I’ve made, here are measurements.

  • Base – 4¼” x 5½” card stock
  • Mat layer of designer series paper – 4″ x 5¼”
  • Small card – 4″ x 9″, scored at 3″ and 6″
  • Designer series paper – 2 pieces 2¾” x 3¾”
    • use one for the front section of small card
    • punch thumb hole in second piece for gift card (adhere on 3 sides
  • Basic White for inside writing – 2¾” x 3¾”

Finally, the inside of the second card.

Maya’s Birthday Card!

Happy Saturday and World Card Making Day!

Last month my favorite niece Maya had a birthday and I’m sharing her card with you today.

Regal Winter Designer Series Paper and the Regal Flora Cling Mount stamp set was used to create the card. Happy Birthday is from the Wanted to Say Dies. Don’t forget to use Adhesive sheets on the detail die, makes it easier to adhere to the background image.

Next, the inside of the card, a piece of Regal Winter Designer Series Paper 5¼” x 10″ with scores at 2″ – 4″ – 6″ – 8″ – 10″. Stylish Shapes circle die cuts added with images from the Labeled with Love Stamp Set. Just be careful to make sure the die cuts don’t stick out when the card is closed (ask me how I know).

Finally, the back of the card. Regal Flora stamp set was used for the images and sentiment.
