Very Simply Susan

This card features all the Wonderfully Wicked products and a little Monster Bash  from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. The “Wicked” die cut is just too fun! From cards to home decor to gift packaging, this die cut is perfect for Halloween fun!

I made this card really simple and fast to do. Of course, the centerpiece is the Wicked die cut. To make it stand out, I mounted it on a layer of Basic Black cut to fit the die cut. The paper is from Monster Bash. And the sentiments were stamped on Pumpkin Pie and die cut using and Ornate Frame die.  Cut them a little offset as I wanted to mount them to the edge of the card.

This card was so easy, so fast and so, so Halloween!

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!

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.
