Joy Christmas Card

For this card I am showcasing the Perfectly Pine Stamp Set and the Mini Joy Stamp Set.

I am also using the beautiful Oh Deer Paper Packet.   

For the pine cones I used the Cocoa Exclusive Stamp Pad and the Chocolate Exclusive Stamp Pad.  For the branches I used the Fern Exclusive Stamp Pad.  

After stamping the pine cones, I stamped over the top of the stamped image with the Versamark Ink Pad and then sprinkled the Clear Superfine Embossing Powder over the top.  I then heat set it. This makes the pine cones shiny.  I did the same with the Joy stamp.  Cut out the pine cones by hand. 

I sponged all the edges of the papers with cocoa ink.  I used the White and Gold Twine over the top of the pine cones.
FYI the fold for this card is at the top.  Simple but elegant card to share.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!  

Pretty Snowflake Card

Hello!
For today's card I started out by using 
Sea Glass Cardstock and embossing it with the Snowflake Embossing Folder. 

I then took out some pretty White Glitter Cardstock and cut out the beautiful snowflakes using the Thin Cuts Snowflakes. 

Then I took the cute little Merry Christmas Stamp Set and the Sea Glass Mini Pigment Ink Pad and stamped on a piece of white cardstock.  I then used Superfine Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped image to make it shine.  I then sponged the edges of the white cardstock  and the embossed Sea Glass cardstock with the Sea Glass Exclusive Ink Pad.  I took the white cardstock and bordered it with the Sea Glass Glitter Paper.  Put the card together and then finished by adding some more bling to the middle of the snowflakes with Clear Sparkles.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  Hugs!

Poinsettia Christmas Card 2016

For today's card I am showcasing the 
Pretty Poinsettia Stamp Set.  You can cut these flowers out by hand or you can use the Cricut Flower Market Cartridge to cut the images out. 

I stamped the flowers with Cranberry Exclusive Ink Pad.  I colored in the leaves with the Shinhan Sap Green Marker.  I also cut one of the petals out of the fun Red Glitter Paper to make it pop a bit. I also used the red glitter paper on side of the card. I finished the flowers with a Red Enamel Gem. 

I took a piece of white card stock and embossed it with the Confetti Stars Embossing Folder and also using the Square Diffuser to leave a smooth area to stamp my sentiment.   I bordered that paper with a piece of Cranberry Cardstock.  Put it all together and you are done!  Thanks for dropping by and seeing my creations. Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Two All Occasion Happy Cards

Today I am showcasing two cards with the same pattern but with different papers and colors.  

For this card I used the Enchantment Fundamental Paper Packet for the background and for under the circle.
For the "happy" I used the Happy Thin Cuts Die and cut it out of the same paper packet. 

I embossed the circle with the Wood Slats Embossing Folder as well as some of leaves. I cut out the leaves, stems and acorns using the New Cricut Flower Market Cartridge.

I on purpose left the sentiment off the card. With the word happy you could add any type of sentiment that you want such as:
Happy Day, Happy birthday, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Retirement, Happy For You  etc.  

This card is the same pattern as above but on this card I used the Adventure Fundamental Paper Packet.  

I used the Shower Flowers Stamp Set.  
I used the Raspberry Stamp Pad, Willow Stamp Pad, Lemon Stamp Pad and the Blossom Stamp Pad. 

Like above I used the thin cuts to cut out the Happy message. 

Finished the card with some cute Bitty Sparkles.  

Hope you enjoyed stopping by!  Have a great day!  Hugs!

Cheery Thinking of You Card

First of all Happy Halloween! You can see that I didn't post a Halloween card today..gasp! LOL  There are so many cute ones out there, I thought I would  post something totally different!

For this card I started by using the  Ink Blot Stamp Set for the background.  When you first look at this set you might not know what to do with  it. But with 7 different "ink blot" stamps the things you can create are endless.  I used Lemon Exclusive Ink and Tangerine Exclusive Ink for the background on the white card.

I used  Tangerine and Lemon white-core cardstock from Close To My  Heart on the side. Just by tearing the edge, you can expose the white core for a fun look.  I stamped the Tangerine ink on  the yellow cardstock.

I then took the new Thin Cuts Wreath Die and cut out a wreath and then I took the Wreath Stamp  and stamped the image.  I colored it in with  Shinhan markers that Close To My Heart has in their catalog. 

 I then took out our newest Cricut cartridge called  Flower Market Cricut Collection and cut out the cute little flowers also using the tangerine and lemon cardstock.   I attached them to the wreath and added some of my favorite Bitty Sparkles to center of the flowers.  Our Cricut collection not only has the Cricut cartridge that has over 700 images: shapes, borders, banners, titles, fonts and flowers but the collection also has three stamp sets and a package of cardstock!  So the sentiment is from one of those stamp sets! I then put some 3-D Foam Tape behind the  wreath and attached over the sentiment.

I had fun making this card. Thanks so much for stopping by. See you in November. Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

Autumn Thank You Card

Today I am showcasing a cute stamp set called   Forest Feast.  It shows the cutest set of Pilgrims! There are five Thanksgiving stamps included in this set.

For the thank you sentiment stamp I used a set called Happy Heart.  This set also has five stamps in this set.  One of my favorite sets that I use all of the time!

The background paper that is used on the card is from the Enchantment Fundamentals Collection.  This collection has 24 - 12x12 sheets (two each of 12 double-sided designs).  These rich, deep colors make Autumn cards and scrapbook pages turn out beautiful!   In fact, because I needed to make some Thank You cards, I decided to use the same stamp sets on all the cards. The only thing I did was use different colors of the paper included in the above set.  See the picture below!

Isn't this fun!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great weekend and check back for more creations.  Hugs!

Embossed Christmas Card

Good Morning!  For today's card I am 
showcasing our October Stamp of the Month
called  Yuletide Joy.  This is a set of 7 stamps that include a star, stocking, present, bell and three Christmas sentiments. Click on the highlight link to see the set.  

For this card I used the Confetti Embossing Folder on a piece of white card stock.  I then took the Versamark Ink Pad and lightly ran it over the raised dots from the embossing pad. Then I sprinkled some Gold Embossing Powder on the dots and heat set it. 

Using the bell from the above Stamp of the Month,  I embossed that on a piece of white card stock.  I then added a larger Clear Sparkle to the bottom of the bell and then a couple of Bitty Sparkles to the middle of the bell. 

I also added a bow using the new Black Shimmer Ribbon from Close To My Heart.  I bordered it all in black card stock.  Remember if black isn't your favorite color, you can emboss it and just add your favorite Christmas color and ribbon.  You could even use the star or the present instead of the bell and one of the other Christmas sentiments included in the set.   Hope you enjoyed this and thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a good day!   Hugs!
