FTL160 Stitched Stockings

I am really loving the items I decided to purchase from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Such as, Stitched Stockings! It's such a super cute stamp set! Very simple, but makes some really fun cards and gift tags!

I am also enjoying the Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper. The colors in the paper are so fun to play with!
The card base is Blushing Bride, I layered with Early Espresso. For some interest on the white layer that the stockings are on, I stamped with the cute Simple Snowflake Stamp. I also used a length of Old Olive 5/8" Satin Ribbon. I love the texture that the satin ribbon gives a card. It's very versatile! The sentiment is from the stamp set, Four the Holidays, and that is layered on Marina Mist cardstock.

Thank you for coming by and taking a look at my latest card!

Comfort & Joy

I love this set from the Holiday Mini, called Comfort & Joy. I love Christmas carols, and this set automatically puts Christmas songs in my head!

I created this card for MOJO209 sketch challenge, and for PP66 theme challenge. The card base is River Rock, layered with Bravo Burgundy and Wild Wasabi. I used the Snowflake Punch, the Basic Pearls Jewel Accents, and Dazzling Details.

I enjoyed making this card, I hope you enjoyed looking at it!

Thanks for stopping by!

French Foliage

These colors are so fun. I got them from the Create with Connie & Mary blog.

I love how you can use these colors for fall, or they'd be a fun alternative for Christmas!

I used the French Foliage set for this card.

The card base is Soft Suede, the green layer is Pear Pizzazz, I used the gorgeous Spice Cake Designer Series Paper, and the Spice Cake Designer Buttons. I tied a bit of Soft Suede 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon in the button. I don't like using naked buttons!

I hope you enjoyed this card. It was fun to try out these colors!

See you soon!

PPA113 Beautiful Season

I created this card for PPA113. I decided I LOVE this card so much, it is going to be my 2011 Christmas card!

I really love the simplicity of the clear embossed bird image, and the turned sentiment. The jingle bell is a fun addition.

This stamp set is called Beautiful Season. The bird image was embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, using the Heat Tool. 

I used the Cherry Cobbler 3/8 Quilted Satin Ribbon from the Holiday Mini. I tied the Mini Jingle Bell to the ribbon with Linen Thread. I like the added strip of Early Espresso cardstock, just to add a bit of contrast to the Crumb Cake Cardstock. 

I embossed the Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the new Snow Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, using my Big Shot. After it was embossed, I used a Sponge Dauber, and dabbed on a bit of Frost White Shimmer Paint, for some added glitz and sparkle. I really love that stuff, it's fun to use instead of an ink pad on stamped images!

I hope you enjoyed this card. I loved making it!

Thanks for visiting!

Wicked Cool!

This fun card was created for a Challenge on Create with Connie & Mary for their Holiday Edition.

I used the Wicked Cool stamp set for this card. It's so cute, I just love it! I also used the new Designer Series Paper called Frightful Sight. The cardstock colors I chose are: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White. I embossed the front of the card with the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with my Big Shot. I added a Rhinestone to the candelabra for some cute bling.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Much more to come!

Thanks,
Heather

Merry & Type

I love this new set from Stampin' Up! called Merry & Type. It's so fun, yet so old fashioned looking!
I created this card using the Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper. It's got really cute prints included in the package.

Don't you love the colors in this card? I really like how the Designer Series Paper starts with traditional Christmas colors, and adds a twist with some non-traditional additions.

I used the Glimmer Brads, to match some of the colors in the DSP. I also used the Early Espresso 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon from the new Holiday Mini, and the Postage Stamp Punch. I backed the postage stamp punch with the 1 1/4" square punch, and backed that with the 1 3/8" square punch. Cardstock colors were Whisper White, Marina Mist, Textured Old Olive, and Early Espresso. I used the Stampin' Write Markers to color the ornaments different colors on the main image.

Visit My Website to order these an many other wonderful items. (I used the sketch from MOJO208 for this cute card!!)

Thanks for visiting! See you again soon.
