Jesus is the Reason

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving last week, and that you're ready to get into the swing of things for Christmas!

Starting off the post with with the new Jesus is the Reason Greeting, which I stamped, die cut and embellished the star using a silver gel pen.  I paired it up with that sweet little country looking church from the group of Christmas Village stamps.  Also die cut, colored and embellished with a bit of glitter glue on the snow. 

I attached it to a dry embossed background and added a few snowflakes for embellishment.

 

Remember then new Ugly Christmas Sweater Designer stamp that was in the recently released group of stamps?  Well, these tiny holiday images are from that set.  I used them without the sweater image along with my punches to create this simple card.  I stamped the new Christmas Star Merry Christmas and attached it to the bottom of the card, and then cut off the bottom with a scalloped die.  

A bit of embellishment using a gold gel pen on the sentiment along with some twine finished off the card.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Season of Peace

Hi Everyone,

I love this new Small Season of Peace Greeting! To me, it just begged to be paired up with a snowy, winter scene.  

I stamped, die cut and added some blue chalk around the edges of the Winter Trees, while spray adhesive and some glitter completed the look for that image.  I attached it to a background stamped using the Snow Background and added a dry embossed snowflake strip behind my die cut greeting.

I used my trusty bird punch to make a dove to complete the card. 

I used the Small Season of Peace as the sentiment for my easy card as well.  It's been awhile since I bought myself a new holiday die, and I thought this one from Momenta would do the trick when I needed to make many cards in a hurry.  Any great sentiment from the DRS Designs store would work to complete the card!

Thanks for visiting today!

Plaid Tree

Hi Everyone,

I decided to feature the recently released Plaid Fir Tree on my card today, and I began by stamping and fussy cutting 3 trees.  Once they were cut, I turned them over and stamped them on the opposite side, and then glued them together by adding glue down the center of the trees.  

I attached my three dimensional tree to a die cut and plaid embossed panel, which was attached to a background made using the Woven Plaid Background stamp. 

A die cut border embellished with enamel dots was added at the bottom and I finished the card with the new Tis the Season Greeting.

Here is a close up of the tree...

Season of Thanks

 Hi Everyone,

One of the newer fall stamps from DRS Designs is this Large Happy Fall Y'all greeting, and I matched it up with one of my favorite fall images, Bountiful Basket.  My husband says that everyone makes fall about pumpkins and pumpkin spice, but apples are what he thinks of when it comes to fall. This lovely image has both!

The image was colored and die cut, the sentiment was made using punches and the Medium Silhouette Leaf stamp, and both were layered onto an embossed leaf background of bright fall colors.

I added a few die cut leaves in those same colors to complete the look.

Here I made a Z Fold card using the Season of Thanks Oval stamp, and the Medium Silhouette Leaf which was stamped using a rainbow stamp pad. (Kaleidacolor)  Since the multicolored ink did most of the work, all I did was enhance the swirly leaf using some glitter glue.

Here is the inside panel that I stamped using the Open Leaf stamp.  I figured this would make it easy to write a personal greeting on top.

Have a great day!

Ugly Christmas Sweater

Hi Everyone,

DRS Designs has released lots of great holiday stamps this past weekend.  If you are behind in your holiday stamping,  (Me, me! I'm raising my hand along with you...) the stamps on my first card are sure to jump start your mojo. 

This one features Ugly Christmas Sweater Designer.  It's a group of stamps that includes a sweater, some stitching lines along with 3 tiny images for the sweater!  I mean, it was the first thing I wanted to ink up when I opened my new stamps, because it looked like so much fun.  I'm not sure what this says about me, but I would wear this blue and red candy cane sweater unironically.  It's sooo cute!  Anyway, you can make yours any color and set comes with a string of lights and a gingerbread man too.

Also available is a matching Ugly Christmas Sweater Greeting, which was a must have to go with all the sweaters I'll be making.

Everything was layered onto a background made by sponging over a die cut snowflake, along with a snowflake border made using Interlocking Snow Background stamp.

A couple of punched snowflakes embellished with gems finished it off.

This card was a quick masculine birthday card I made for a friend.  No frills,  just some good old stamping, some Stickles to enhance the beer foam, and a few metal brads :)

The stamps used here are as follows:

Small Beer Mug

Splatter Background

Brew-tiful Day Greeting

It's almost the holiday season, so don't be caught unprepared :)

Have a great day!
