A Special Season

Welcome back to Day 3 of my Week of Merry Mondays using Sweet Candy Canes stamps and the Candy Canes dies. In case you haven't guessed, this is one of my favorite new stamp sets, and it's helping me get into the Christmas card-making season!

How about a cool and calm card? Take a look:

Sophisticated and pretty, right? L.O.V.E.

I started with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock and used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a frame in the center. Then the piece (minus the center) was embossed with the Fern embossing folder. This is truly a beautiful folder, with deep embossing in a fern pattern.

On to the Shaded Spruce center - I now took a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Shaded Spruce and used a smaller Stitched Rectangle die to cut out the center. Then I adhered it to the white embossed piece (on the back), centering the opening.

Then for the slightly tricky part - laying the frame on the Thick Basic White card base (but not gluing it together yet) I stamped the greeting inside the frame. Once done, the frame was popped up with Dimensionals.

A Shaded Spruce candy cane tied up with bakers twine and a Flat Jingle Bell Trinket completed this card.

So elegant!

Are you liking what you see? I've still got more samples so c'mon back tomorrow!

Tree Lot for Merry Monday

I know, I know...the Tree Lot dies, FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase, are gone. 😢 But many of you took advantage of the offering, so I have one more Merry Monday card to show you, using the trees from the dies.

This is my idea of card perfection. Clean, simple, and gorgeous!

I initially got the idea for this card from one I saw on Erica Cerwin's blog. You can see it here.

It went together in minutes, and the tree could be substituted with any number of stamps or die-cuts, so you could easily make this card using something else.

I started with 1/2" strips of four colors - Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. They were glued to the Very Vanilla cardstock on the diagonal (cut the strips longer than you need; glue them down, flip your panel over and trim the strips from the back to get a clean look).

The greeting, from Christmas to Remember, was stamped using Mossy Meadow ink. Then the panel was adhered to a Mossy Meadow card base.

Now for the fun...The medium tree was cut from the Tree Lot dies and adhered to the Stylish Shapes circle using Dimensionals.

Then - see the little red balls on the tree? The new Pearlized Enamel Effects is to thank for those! This liquid enamel can be dripped onto your creations, creating "pearls" of color. It comes in Real Red, White and Black (perfect for Halloween!). It dries quickly (but be sure to give it a little time so it doesn't smear), and looks shiny and "pearl-like" on your cards.

Such a lovely card to wish your friends a Merry Christmas!

Shiny Baubles

Welcome to another Merry Monday! This week I have an easy, but striking, card with very little stamping.

Yes, black is an unusual color for a holiday card, but I thought it would really make the foil ornaments pop! Do you like?

I started by cutting two of the ornaments from the Gingerbread dies using Basic Black for the "under" part and the Red & Green Foil sheets for the overlays.

I also embossed a piece of Basic Black using the Merry Melody embossing folder for some added texture on the front.

And look at that shiny greeting! The Stamparatus worked well to stamp the words from Christmas to Remember in Tuxedo Black ink, then stamping them again using Versamark, before heat-embossing with Clear Embossing Powder. So pretty!
