Christmas Splendor – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on November 27, 2015 | Comments Off on Christmas Splendor – Stampin’ Up! Card

DSC_0136_edited-1

Good morning,

I have a lot going on in today’s card.  First, I used a color combo that is very rich looking but not your traditional Christmas colors.  Secondly, I used color to create shadows to give the appearance of torn paper in the middle of my main image panel.  Thirdly, I created the textured look at the bottom of the main image panel using beautiful purples.  This card is a finished size of 4″ x 9″ which fits perfect in a #10 sized business envelopes.

I hope you are inspired to give this project a try.

Recessed Snowman – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on November 22, 2015 | 2 comments

DSC_0098_edited-2

Hello there,

I hope this finds you warm and toasty having a fabulous Sunday.  The temperatures here in Ohio have definitely turned to the colder side and it’s feeling more like November since it has been so warm here of late.

I’m continuing to crank out Christmas cards and this one was a fun one to put together.  The snowman die cut out of the main image panel is certainly the focal point of this card, cute right?  I found washi tape to be a wonderful accent for Christmas cards because it is eye catching, super cost effective and adds no bulk to the card for mailing, win, win, win!

 It will be sad to see the holiday catalog end on January 4th because when it ends so many of the products in it will not be available any longer, some will be gone forever even sooner.  To give everyone a heads up, Stampin’ Up! has released the Holiday Catalog Retiring list so you can pick up all those things on your list prior to them being retired or sold out.  Just be aware, the products on the retiring list will be while supplies last from today through January 4th, so once a products sells out it will not be restocked.

Old Time Christmas – Stampin’ Up! Card

Posted on November 16, 2015 | 2 comments

DSC_0048

Hello there,

I’m back in my office today after a fun filled few days in Baltimore attending the Stampin’ Up! On Stage Local Event.  We got to see the new products that will be in the up and coming Spring/Summer catalog.  I’m so excited!  and so will you be   in January when the new products are out, take my word for it, wink.

But today I get to use current products in my old time creation.  I say old time because this deer and the color combo certainly remind me of my childhood.  I’ve kept this project uncluttered for that retro look to go with the deer image.  For those of you that grew up in the 60’s and 70’s you know what I’m talking about.

The Gift – Stampin’ Up! Card

Hello there,

There is something about gold on a card that makes it extra special and it can be pricey to make a bunch of cards using gold card stock.  Today I added little gold elements to my card that are very affordable but still give that gold WOW factor.
