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.

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.

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.

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.

I’m using the Joyful Holly stamp set this week which is a 7 piece photopolymer stamp set (153440, $17).

Here I’m using shaded spruce and poppy parade and my stamparatus – not that I’m doing the two step stamping here, but since the holly stamps were already on the stamparatus plate, it seemed easy to just use it here. This time the holly berries stamp came into play. This layer was matted on gold foil with the beautiful poppy parade and gold ribbon being sandwiched between the two and then placed on a poppy parade card base. The ribbon comes as a pair -the All the Trimmings Ribbon combo pack has poppy parade and old olive ribbons.

The sentiment also comes from the Joyful Holly stamp set and is stamped in poppy parade. The stitched shapes framelits dies were used to cut it out and then it was popped up with dimensionals with a bow using the same ribbon.

I’m using the Joyful Holly stamp set this week which is a 7 piece photopolymer stamp set (153440, $17) which includes some 2 step stamping for which I recommend a stamparatus.

Here I’m using shaded spruce and poppy parade and my stamparatus to get the Joyful Holly images lined up. Once you have them lined up, it’s easy to make multiples. I didn’t want to risk using the berries stamp and so used a poppy parade marker. Colouring is always relaxing. The sentiment also comes from the Joyful Holly stamp set.

Next the stamped layer was matted with shaded spruce and then added to a very vanilla card base. And that is it. Super simple and easy to produce a stack. You could dress it up with ribbon or jewels but I prefer the more simple look.

Tree Angle

Leave a reply

This week I’m focusing on the stamp set Tree Angle. It’s a 15 piece photopolymer set for only $17 (153442). I also found that it coordinates with the Stitched Triangle dies although I didn’t use them on this card.

I started by stamping the greeting in versamark and sprinkled on gold embossing powder. Before heating it, I stamped the ornaments in poppy parade so that I wouldn’t get poppy parade on top of the gold which would then smear onto the card. Yes, that’s what happened to the first sample! After heating the powder, I adhered the beautiful ribbon from All The Trimmings across the card. The ribbon is a two pack combo featuring poppy parade and old olive with gold edges. Next it was glued onto some gold foil and then mounted onto the piece of poppy parade that I’d run through the Winter Snow embossing folder. Finally I added this all to a poppy parade card base.

This is one of the cards that I showed on my Facebook live earlier this morning.

Here’s how to find me:
