Silver & Gold Specialty Paper

Leave a reply

This week I’m using the Saleabration $50 freebie of the Silver & Gold Specialty Paper. So I’ve made a start on my Christmas cards – Christmas in July, it’s a thing, right?

A two inch high piece of the gold dotted paper was matted with Poppy Parade and added to a white card base. Next I used the snowflake from Joyful Flurry and heat embossed it with gold powder. This was then matted using gold foil and added to the card. 

Next the sentiment, from Joyful Flurry, was stamped in Poppy Parade and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. This was popped up with dimensionals. Finally a few champagne basic rhinestones were added.

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live on Sunday. I’ll also be uploading it to YouTube.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP

Leave a reply

I really love the Whimsy & Wonder DSP so I decided to do more cards using it – here’s one featuring an unused pattern.

The Whimsy & Wonder DSP was cut to 5 1/2 by 2 inches and added to the card base. Next the sentiment from Evergreen Elegance was stamped onto the card base in Mossy Meadow. Following that, the tree (also from Evergreen Elegant) was stamped onto Whisper White and matted in more Mossy Meadow. This layer was added to the card with dimensionals.

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others on my Facebook Live later on today at 11am. Come and join me. Place an order of $25 and receive a free card kit to make the cards. Share my live and be put in the weekly raffle.

I really love the Whimsy & Wonder DSP so I decided to do more cards using it. I’ve used this pattern before, but I just couldn’t resist using it again.

The Whimsy & Wonder DSP was cut to 5 1/2 by 2 inches and matted with Mint Macaron card stock cut an 1/8 inch wider. This was then added to a Whisper White card base. Next the sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron and cut out using the Layering Circles Framelits dies. This was matted onto the slightly larger scalloped die cut out in Mint Macaron. The sentiment was added to the card, popped up with dimensionals and the final touch was a trio of basic rhinestones.

Whimsy & Wonder DSP

I really love the Whimsy & Wonder DSP so I decided to do more cards using it – mostly patterns I haven’t used yet. Starting with this beautiful Blushing Bride one.

The Whimsy & Wonder DSP was cut to 5 by 3 3/4 inches and matted with silver foil. The silver foil really set off the silver in the DSP nicely although if you’re short of foil, white would work. This left a nice wide border showing the Blushing Bride card base.

The sentiment came from the Stars are Shining stamp set and is heat embossed using silver embossing powder. The piece of Blushing Bride was then die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies and popped up with dimensionals.

Snowflake Wishes

Leave a reply

Here’s my third Christmas card of the week, still using Snowflake Wishes. On this card, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and got our the Soft Pastels assortment. Let me know what you think.

I grabbed all of the snowflake dies and stamped them on a piece of Whisper White using Versamark. Next I sprinkled over clear embossing powder and heated until shiny. 

Then I used the Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy pastels and laid down some color onto the snowflakes, using a blending brush between colors. The Night of Navy seems to have mostly overpowered the Bermuda Bay. The one I made on my Live this morning was the other way around. Clearly I need more practice on these Pastels. 

Next, I trimmed the layer – the edge picks up more color and I wanted it to have a most consistent look. It was then matted it in Night of Navy and adhered to a Whisper White card base. One of the Wondrous Snowflakes was added to the front of the card where it really twinkles. Finally the sentiment, from Snowflake Wishes, was stamped in Night of Navy. This was die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and popped up with dimensionals.

I made this card along with two others using the Snowflake Wishes bundle on my Facebook Live this morning at 11am EST. Watch the replay on either Facebook or YouTube.
