Holly Jolly Layers

Leave a reply

Here’s another card showcasing the Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF; this is a new type of folder that gets a far more 3D effect which you can enhance by lightly spritzing the cardstock with water first. This is also my first use of the Holly Jolly Layers stamp set which is a fun set with four images that are already layered – but that doesn’t stop additional layers being added!

I used crumb cake for my dry embossed layer and then because the stamped image wasn’t getting the depth of colour that I wanted, I heat embossed it. Actually this is cherry cobbler embossing powder but that was merely because I couldn’t find my clear embossing powder. I really like to first ink up the stamp in versamark and then the coloured ink and use clear embossing powder. You get a nice filled in emboss because of the colour. I used the largest of the square stitched shapes framelits dies to cut this out and added a strip of the Warmth & Cheer DSP stack because I had a piece handy after cutting out a mouse’s sweater for an earlier card. I also dry embossed the envelope flap (I didn’t spritz that, figuring the paper is thinner and I didn’t want to get the glue wet!) – love the effect.

Merriest Wishes

I was playing some more with the Warmth & Cheer DSP stack and the Merriest Wishes set. They just ask to go together!

So it’s  piece of the stack with a garden green mat onto a crumb cake card base. The sentiment is from the Merriest Wishes stack which I stamped in garden green on crumb cake and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies which I popped up on the DSP. It’s a fast and easy Christmas card that isn’t too clean and simple, it’s fun. I used the remainder of the 6″ by 6″ sheet to cover the envelope flap.

Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF

2 Replies

I took supplies to the dentist’s office yesterday and we had an evening party making Christmas cards. Here’s one of the easy ones that we made – an embossing folder really adds an amazing detail to a card and the new Cable Knit Dynamic TIEF (Textured impressions embossing folder) really goes one step further. It gives a really deep impression – more so if you spritz the card lightly with water first. I also used it on the envelope flap which looks beautiful.

So this uses a piece of cherry cobbler which we ran through the big shot in the embossing folder and then added this to a cherry cobbler card base. I then showed the girls heat embossing in metallics – gold here – and they loved it. There was extra heat embossing for the insides of cards and the back of envelopes. It really is a fabulous technique. There would be questions – “how long do I heat it” and I’d respond that they’d know when they were done. Then there’d be the squeals of delight as the powder melted and the beautiful shiny metal showed up. It was really a fun evening.

After using the Oh, What Fun set for the sentiment, we cut out the oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and that produced more oohs and aahs! We glued that to a piece of gold foil and then popped it up with dimensionals. Popping things up was another popular thing to do on a card.

It really was a great evening – if you’d like to do something similar and you’re somewhat near to Randolph, NJ, get in touch and we can organise something for you.

Warmth and Cheer DSP stack

Leave a reply

I completely overlooked the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack in the Holiday catalog and I can’t imagine why. I kept seeing cards online with gorgeous papers and they kept being this stack. When Julia was ordering recently, she planned to get this one and when I commented that it was on my list for my next order, she just upped the quantity to two and got me one. I’m so grateful! At the crop this weekend, I had a lot of fun playing with this stack and the stitched shapes framelits dies which coordinate beautifully with the stitching on this paper stack.

Paper stacks are 6 inches square and if you cut your DSP for the card at 3 3/4 by 5 inches you get enough leftover to cover the envelope flap for perfect coordination. So that’s what I did and I matted it with a piece of garden green that’s just an 1/8 inch larger. This was then glued to a crumb cake card base. For my sentiment I used the Merriest Wishes set and embossed it in black. I then cut it out with the awesome stitched shapes framelits dies. I’m so glad that these came out early – they are addictive though, I warn you! I’m using them on pretty much every card that I can! I’ve read this morning that the stocks of the dies are getting low, so if you want to snap them up before they go on back order, you need to get them right away. Anyway, I popped up the sentiment with dimensionals and finished off the project by sticking the remaining DSP to the envelope flap and snipping around the edge of the flap.

Merry Mice Stamp Set

Leave a reply

This is an adorable card, I made it at the weekend at the crop. Julia had the Merry Mice set and I decided that I needed to play with it.

I stamped him in archival basic black and then coloured him in with markers – garden green, cherry cobbler, smoky slate and blushing bride in the ears – the ears were too bright so I used a blender pen to soften them. I then found a sweater pattern from the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack and stamped the mouse onto it and cut out his sweater. Somehow I got really lucky and the pattern was perfectly centred and makes the mouse look so cosy. Next I cut him out with the stitched shapes framelits dies. I also stamped just the star onto a piece of gold glimmer paper and fussy cut out the star. To finish off my card, I used the Christmas Greetings Thinlits and a scrap of gold glimmer paper to make the jolly. I dry embossed the envelope flap with the Holly TIEF.

These stitched dies are available now in advance of next year’s annual catalog and to really sweeten the deal, there are a number of coordinating sets available at 25% off this month – Merry Mice is one of them.
