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.
