Gnome for the Holidays

Here’s the first card that I made with this week’s product – Gnome for the Holidays. It’s an adorable set which gives you a peaceful time as you color away. 

Gnome for the Holidays

The whisper white was coloured with blends – poppy parade, shaded spruce, mango melody and ivory. Next it was matted onto a piece of Poppy Parade and then the gorgeous poppy parade and gold ribbon was wrapped around it. The sentiment was stamped in poppy parade to match and then the gnome was positioned just above it. 

Stop back on Friday to see another card using Gnome for the Holidays which I will then demo on my regular Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST.

Prized Peony

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle although I’m only using the Prized Peony stamp set today. And I couldn’t decide on which color I liked best, so I made both! Which do you prefer?

Both cards are the same – and hard to photograph – they look better in person! I used versa mark for the image and the sentiment and heat embossed the silver powder. I added a mat of silver foil to match the embossing. The sentiment comes from Love of Leaves. The card bases are two of the new in colors (and my favorites of the five) Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

I’ll be showing these cards along with the two earlier in the week on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST – I also upload it to YouTube.

Prized Peony Bundle

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle and here I’m taking advantage of the dies.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Prized Peony bundle - Prized Peony - Peony Dies  - Stitched Shapes Framelits dies

The peony was stamped using Rococo Rose and then cut out with the Peony Dies. Next I stamped some leaves in Mossy Meadow and cut them out as well. The reason for the Mossy Meadow was so that I could use this lovely ribbon! I arrange the peonies up the side of the card, tucking in the leaves as I went. Next I used a blends marker – I think it was mango melody – to colour the centres and then blinged them up with clear wink of Stella.

The sentiment is from the Prized Peony stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I popped it up with dimensionals and then added a bow using the Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Diagonal Stripe ribbon.

I’ll be making this card live on Sunday on my Facebook Live at 11am EST. Come and join me and have a chance to win a raffle for those people who share my live.

Prized Peony

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle although I’m only using the Prized Peony stamp set today.

The peony was stamped tone on tone using Blushing Bride and then it was layered using Mossy Meadow. I’m so glad that Mossy Meadow made a return after being an in color a few years ago. The card base is obviously also Blushing Bride. I used Mossy Meadow to stamp out the sentiment, which also comes from the Prized Peony set and then die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. A few dimensionals under the die cut and the card was complete.

Today there is a one day stamp sale at Stampin’ Up! featuring select stamp sets at 15% off. It’s definitely worth a look and it ends at one minute to midnight, so I’d advise haste.

More Joyful Holly

I’m using the Joyful Holly stamp set this week which is a 7 piece photopolymer stamp set (153440, $17) and here’s my third card which I’ll be demonstrating at 11am today.

Joyfull Holly

This is very similar in layout to the first card but they look very different. All the stamping was done with versamark which was then heat embossed with gold powder.  I again used my stamparatus although there was no need since there wasn’t any 2 step stamping to manage, but they were already on the plate and I didn’t want to reset it for the first card later today!

A piece of gold foil matted the cherry cobbler perfectly and was then layered onto a cherry cobbler card base. I should mention that the sentiment also comes from the Joyful Holly stamp set and is cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I’ll be demonstrating this card along with 2 others using this set on Sunday at 11am EST. Come and join me.
