Ride With Me In The Snow

October 4, 2019 Filed Under: Gallery, Project Gallery

Ride with Me

This card features Ride With Me and a lot of Ice Stampin Glitter! Many times, when I need an idea for a particular stamp set, I look through my DSP for inspiration. I knew I wanted to use the Ride With Me to make a holiday card. And when  I saw this paper from the Let It Snow DSP, I knew exactly what to design for this holiday card!

i decided to create a truck going down the road in the snow. And of course, some of the snow would be created with Ice Stampin’ Glitter and Shimmery Crystal effects! I created the “road” by coloring in a stripe using the Stampin’ Chalk Marker and then spread some Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Glitter to create a “snowy” country road.

The packages in the truck are from You Always Deliver. To finish off the snowy look, I also added Ice Glitter over the truck and packages using the Shimmery Crystal Effects as the adhesive. The sentiment from Ride With Me was the perfect greeting!

Making Christmas Bright the Night Before Christmas

October 1, 2019 Filed Under: Gallery, Project Gallery

Here’s a card using one of my favorite stamps, Making Christmas Bright. This is a set featured in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and it has been a go to stamp set for a while. This card also features the Night Before Christmas DSP. I thought the lights worked perfectly with the sentiment and it brought in some of the Pretty Peacock, which I wanted.

I stamped the sentiment in 2 colors by using a sticky note to cover up the part I wanted in another color. This is an easy and fast trick that really steps your deign up a notch. For the card stock, I picked out colors from the DSP of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Pretty Peacock. It gave the card a vintage look that works with both the vintage looking paper and the vintage fonts in the sentiment.

To dress up the Crumb Cake layer, I used the Subtle Texture Embossing Folder, which gives the paper a satiny look once you emboss. The reversible ribbon adds a little sparkle along with the Holiday Rhinestones.

Playful Penguins Starry Night

September 26, 2019 Filed Under: Gallery, Project Gallery

I couldn’t resist another card using Playful Penguins! Today’s card uses a piece of DSP from the Fabulous Feels Like Frost that resembles a night sky.  If I colored it in a bit, it could look like the Northern Lights. I stamped a playful penguin in Smokey Slate on a piece of Smokey Slate card stock and then cut him out. HIs scarf is stamped in Pretty Peacock and cut out. The accent DSP is from Night Before Christmas. The ribbon is the Denim Ribbon which works with so many things.

The starry night needed a little glitter and I added a few rhinestones in Night of Navy from the Holiday Rhinestones pack. Aren’t you loving these colored rhinestone assortments? I kept the sentiment simple and used “believe” from Itty Bitty Christmas.

This was an easy, easy card and stuck with a basic card layout it seems I have used a lot of in the last few posts. To dress it up a bit, I used the Subtle Textures Embossing folder on the card base. I love this embossing folder as the textures give a luxurious look to the card and the embossing gives card stock a satiny finish.
