FMS204 Reason for the Season

For the past couple weeks, I feel like I have lost my mojo.  I have been trying to make Christmas Cards, with all the new goodies from the Holiday Catalog but it is epic fail.  I am not sure why I am having such a hard time but I think I just have too many ideas in my head and I am still thinking of Halloween/Fall.  So today I sat down with the new FMS204 sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, and finally have a Christmas Card to show you.  I really like how this card turned out.  I used the Festive Flower Punch, Reason of the Season Stamp Set and the Home for Christmas DSP.  After making the first card, I decided to make another one with a Cherry Cobbler Flower.  My favorite is the White Poinsettia Card.  

Here's the inside of the card.  I absolutely love this stamp set, love the verses and the images.  The petals were sprayed with the Homemade shimmer mist to really make the flowers shine which is hard to see in the pictures.  

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think!

Ornamental Pine Christmas Card

Here's a card that took me longer than it should have.  To me the outcome of this card is a simple card but I had trouble fitting it on a card design I wanted.  This image is bigger than I thought.  I think it would fit beautifully on a single layer card front.  I am not giving up yet, I will work on making a different card soon.   

I started with inking up the image using my Garden Green Ink Pad and then I colored the branch with my Early Espresso Marker. The bottom Cherry Cobbler piece is embossed using the Stripes Embossing Folder and layer on the Garden Green Cardbase.  I sprayed the main image with the Homemade Champagne Mist Shimmer Spray.

Winter is Calling Christmas Card

Here's a Christmas Card that I made using the Retired "Winter is Calling" Stamp Set.  I love these kind of images to watercolor especially from this stamp set.  I wish Stampin' Up! would make more.  The cardbase is Lost Lagoon that I stamped with Craft Whisper White Ink using the Splatter Stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set.  Heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.  I loved the way it turned out, it looks like snow.  I ran the stripe of Pool Party paper though the big shot using the Retired "Snow Burst" Embossing Folder.   The card pieces and the Tea Lace Paper Doily were sprayed using my Homemade Frost White Shimmer Spray, I think this is what makes the card.  The picture below shows a little bit of the Shimmer.

Mixed Bunch Simple Card

I had fun playing with the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set and Blossom Punch from the Mini Occasion Catalog.  I decided to use it to try and create some simple cards, which is very hard for me.  I usually end up adding too many layers and embellishments.  This is the first try, what do you think?  I felt like the top corner was a little empty, so of course I added another embellishments.  Take a look at the card below.  

I added a butterfly from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies.  What do you think, does either card count as a simple card?  I am hoping for simple but stunning card.   Let me know what you think.

For some extra shimmer, I sprayed with the homemade Frost White Shimmer Mist (recipe can be found on the sidebar.

Framelit Label Easel Card

Here is a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square easel card but instead of the card front standing up it is the Large Framelit Label Cutout.   Oh course you are wondering 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", what size envelope do you use?  Well I guess I don't make Square Cards very much because I addressed my square envelope and went to put my card in and realized it does not fit. ARRGGGHHH  I guess that mistake is now etched into my brain, so if you do decide to make this card,  please make it a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" square card.  I mailed it in one of our padded envelopes instead.  I do love the colors of the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper.  I know that Blushing Bride is not one of the colors listed but the color goes well with the paper pack.

Mojo Monday 223

I actually had time to do the Mojo Monday sketch the same week.   I could not wait to play with some of my new stuff from the Occasion Mini Catalog.   I used the new Paper Doily Sizzlits Die, Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set, Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon and the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper. 

Note: I used the Paper Doily twice on my card, the main one in Very Vanilla and the smaller one in Pool Party.  The Paper Doily Die is bigger.  I trimmed them both for my card, so cool.  :o) I will say it took me a little time to figure out what works best, with getting all the little pieces to come out.  What I found was - Tab 2, Cutting Pad, Paper Doily Face Up, Cardstock, Cutting Pad, 1-2 sheets of cardstock for a shim; worked the best for me.  I still had to roll the doily around a little but everything came out. 

I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

PPA112 & SSC222 - Halloween Lace Card

I was inspired with making today's card using the Challenge from Pals Paper Arts Blog - PPA112-CAS Element of Style - Lace.  I knew I wanted to make a Halloween Card and wanted black lace. When I saw the Saturday Sketch Challenge #222 from Stamping 411 on Saturday Morning, it was calling for me to use it with the Hello, Doily Stamp Set and the little kids witch from the "Greeting Card Kids Stamp Set.  I hope it is ok that I combined challenges this week.   

The color combo for this card is Black, Pumpkin Pie, and Very Vanilla, which are the color combos of the new Pick your Poison Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I love the soft vintage feel of this paper.  

Don't forget to look at the inside of the card below.  I couldn't help myself with adding some more black lace to the inside of the card with the Doily Stamp and the Eyelet Border Punch. 

This weekend I did not get to make as many Halloween Projects and cards that I wanted to for the blog.  I will get started this week and hope to start posting those soon. 

I hope you like the card and are insprised to pull out some stamps and get stamping.

Try it on Tuesday #33 - Forever Young

The other day I ran across this Blog - Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  They have some great sketches, so if you like sketches, than you should add this blog to your blog list.  I used this week's sketch #33 (below) and decided to use it to create the card above. 

I wanted to break out the Forever Young Stamp Set from the Idea Book & Catalog.  I just love the image of that big tree with the girl on the swing.  The color combo is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight.

I first cut out a Naturals White 3-1/2" circle with the Originals Die.  I lightly sponged the circle with the color combos (starting on the bottom) of Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze and Night of Navy (sponge in a lightly circular pattern).  I finished the circle by light sponging the edge with the Soft Suede Ink.  Using my Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Marker, I color the image of the stamp.  After stamping the image, I realized the image was not a dark as I wanted it.  So I used my markers to color in the image some more.  After the I happy with the results, I spritzer the circle with the Frost White Homemade Shimmer Mist.   

Next I worked on the Cherry Cobbler card base.  I inked up my Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate with Early Espresso Craft ink (I just inked an area the size of my card piece).  Next, I ran my piece of Cherry Cobbler - 4" x 5-1/4" through the big shot with the inked letter press.  I attached this piece to my Card Base.  My 2" x 4-1/2" piece of Early Espresso was ran through the big shot with the Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder.  I used my Lace Ribbon Border Punch to a punch a border of Daffodil Delight.  I wove my Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon through the lace border and attached a bow with an Antique Brad.  

Hope you like the card and I hae inspired you to get stamping.  :o)  Leave a comment and let me know what you think. 

Next week I am going to try to do a week worth of Halloween Cards & Projects, so make sure you come back.

SSC221 Vintage Gift Givers Girl

I finally finished a card for the Stamping 411 Sketches on the same week so I can provide a link.  Yeah!  Above is the card I made from the Saturday Sketch Challenge #221.   

This is my first Shaker Card; I had to use the Gift Givers Stamp Set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I just love the image of the little girl...I think it is snow.  I can't believe I am thinking of snow already.  The color combo of Pink Pirouette, Marina Mist, Soft Suede, and Naturals White. 

The card base is Natural White and with a layer of Pink Pirouette that was run through the Big Shot with the Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I picked the Marina Mist pattern from the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper for the next layer, I think it gives it a nice vintage feel; I backed it with a layer of Soft Suede.  Oh course all these were sponged with Soft Suede Ink.  Before attaching the pieces I sprayed with the Homemade Shimmer Mist made with the Frost White Shimmer Paint.  To give the pieces a little extra shimmer, it is snow right? 

Have you not made a shaker card?  Not sure how?  Let me know by posting a comment and I will get some pictures done to show you.  I am still working on a tutorial on the Fabric Flowers headbands.

Beautiful Season and Wreath

Here's a card I made using the "Beautiful Season" Stamp Set from the Idea Book & Catalog.  I love the image with the song bird, at least I think it is a song bird.  I was never really good with the names of birds, I just like to watch them. 

The color combo is Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler and Naturals Ivory. 

The scallop circle used for the wreath is from Perfect Pennants Bigz L Dies.  The holly leaves and berries is from the Stocking Accents Originals Die from the Holiday Mini, I just ran my Simply Scored Stylus through the middle of the leaves. 

What do you think?

Leaves of a Tree and 20th Anniversary

This past Wednesday, my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Here's a card I made for him. I can’t believe it has been 20 years but I would marry him all over again, love you honey.

I used the “Leaves of a Tree” A’ la Carte Stamp Set from the Holiday Mini as the main focal point of the card. The sentiments is from the Word Play Stamp Set. The color combo is More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Soft Suede and Naturals Ivory.

Remember the homemade Stamp Pad that I made the other day. Here is where I used the stamp pad to stamp the tree and sentiments. I also used some of the leftover pieces from the Day of Gratitude Notecard Bag for the inside of the card. September is a popular month for weddings in our house, my parents also celebrated their wedding anniversary on Monday, so the card below is my parent’s card, slightly different.

I used the Card Sketch 219 from Stampin 411, they always have great sketches.

Welcome Christmas Children

Here's a card I made using the “Welcome Christmas” Stamp Set in the Idea Book & Catalog. What I love most of this set is the image of the children, I guess that is the kid in me, I love snow. The little snowflake image is from the “Snow Swirled” Stamp set and the Trees are from the “Lovely as a Tree” stamp set. The color combo is Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, and Naturals White.

The used the “Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 133” to make this card.

I sprayed my card pieces in the Homemade Shimmer Mist using the Frost White Shimmer Paint, directions can be found here.

Homemade Shimmer Mist

Sample with No Shimmer Mist

This is just a post on how to make the Homemade Shimmer Mist, I have been getting a lot of questions about the recipe. This is not my recipe, I have seen it several years ago, when Stampin Up started selling the Shimmer Paint and I have been using it all along.

NOTE: Since Stampin' Up! has stopped selling this Shimmer Paint.  I buy mine from Amazon.

        

*You can use the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint or the Frost White Shimmer Paint. But the Platinum is too thick and I have not been successful with that one.

Sample with Frost White Shimmer Mist

Sample with - Champagne Shimmer Mist

*To Make Homemade Shimmer Mist - Select your Shimmer Paint and get your bottle of rubbing alcohol. Take a clean fine mist spray bottle put some drops of shimmer paint and fill with rubbing alcohol, shake, spray onto card and let dry for a few minutes.

Tip: The key is to get as much shimmer on the card with less sprays. The alcohol can mess with the adhesive on the card. I usually like to spray my card pieces before I assemble. You can use more or less paint to get your desire look.

Have fun and I wish you lots of shimmer! :o)
Thanks,
Karen
