12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 6 - Holiday Homes Side Step Card


Oh dear, I am just a tad behind on these posts.  I still can't quite get myself out of holiday mode!
Today I am sharing a little creation I have been working on - a Holiday Home side step card.
I had this vision in my head of how I wanted this to look & I am not having any luck recreating that version.  This one will have to do for now.  It is hard to see the dimension in the photo but there is 3 layers. I used quite a few Christmas stamps, including White Christmas, Holiday Home, Festival Of Trees & Wondrous Wreath.



Did you notice the sentiment?  I love that with the photopolymer stamps you can stamp in a row, even though the sentiment is in a block shape.  This sentiment is from Wondrous Wreath & normally looks like this:

Ok, so my stamping is a little crooked but you get the idea, right?  

Thanks For Looking,
TRICIA

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 5 - Blended Bearing Gifts


I love a good polar bear stamp don't you?  I was immediately drawn to the cute single stamp in the Holiday Catalogue called Bearing Gifts on page 33.  It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice using my Blendabilities.   I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in - must be the 5 year old in me!   I used the Nordic Noel DSP (also in the holiday Catalogue p.15) for a bright cheery feel.  I kept this card very simple as I wanted that beautiful bear to be the main focal point.  I used a few glimmer stars like the catalogue image, but I wanted a much brighter look so I used the Blendabilities instead of water colouring.  Oh & this post is just in time for a Casing the Catty Challenge too!




Thanks For Looking,

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 4 - Christmas Wondrous Wreath Card & A Birthday Version Too


As you know all the Wonderous wreath cards out there are very similar.  Here is my version.  We made this card (well the ladies made 3 actually) at my Create Your Christmas day last weekend.  I find this card to be very rich in colour.  I used Mossy Meadow & Real Red with the Gold Foil sheets.

I love the Dotty Angles stamp set so this was a perfect opportunity to use it.  There is quite a bit of framelit action here with not only the Wreath but the Banners as well.  

While stamping this card I decided I needed find another use for the wreath.  I made up quite a few different version of birthday cards using the All Abloom DSP stack & flower punches.

How cute is that!  I love that with the addition of the little flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punches on the wreath it becomes less Christmassy & more fun.

Thanks For Looking,
