Love Flourish

"Love Flourish" is a slapstick by Penny Black.  It was stamped with archival ink and then clear heat embossed.  The stamped image was distressed using Memento inks: Rose Bud and Lady Bug, while the heart was colored with Copic R59 and Glossy Accents added for a highlight.  The heart was hand cut and a ribbon tied around the base.  The stamped heart was popped on Reminisce Valentine paper.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday "Loving Words".  A simple card.  Hope you enjoy

SEASONS GREETINGS

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.  This greeting is to wish all a very pleasant holiday season and to say Thank you for stopping by this past year and checking what new cards have been posted.  It has been busy this past week so I am sorry that nothing new has been displayed, but with a few days off this week I think a something new may be in the works.  Peace and joy to all. 

Peace Love Joy

Peace, Love, Joy  is a stamp set from Hero Arts "Greetings for the Holiday".  The sentiment was stamped on a white that the ends were hand cut and then distressed with Antique Linen.  It is such a nice set and works perfect with the stamped image from Prickley Pear.  The flower was colored with Copic R46 and R59 while the leaves were YG 93, and YG95.  The image was cut with a Spellbinder oval and distressed with Antique Linen.  The base card is Royal Fiber Birch and was dry embossed with a Sizzix snowflake folder.  Both the stamped image and sentiment were popped while the corners were rounded to finish off the card.  Very simple.  Hope you enjoy

White Christmas

(edit:  This card was a Mojo Monday winner).  Well Dreaming of a White Christmas would have been true a couple of days ago, but looking out the window today we are having a blizzard.  This card was made following the Mojo Monday 270 sketch challenge.   The sentiment is from Penny Black "Christmas Cheer" stamped on the back of the mitten paper and cut with Spellbinders "curved rectangles".  The paper is Echo Park "Winter Wishes while the snowflakes are Bazzill and were cut with Impression Obsession dies.  The Sizzix die "Snow Flurries" was cut from Scor Tape on paper and Distress Stickles glitter was added to the solid blue paper.     Hope you enjoy.

A Tag

Everyone needs a tag for the holiday or it could be used as a card.  This was created using a Sizzix die once cut was distressed with Evergreen Bough and Festive Berries.   It was stamped with the Penny Black "a cool Christmas".  The star was colored yellow and a silver gel pen was added to it and on the tree.  Gems were added along with a tinsel twine from the Tim Holtz line.  Hope you emjoy

tis the Season

A cute little snowman by Hero Arts along with its open Sizzix die  "Snowman pair".  The greeting is also from Hero Arts "Greetings for the Holiday.  The snowman was stamped with Memento Black and colored with Copic markers (YR04, B0000, R46, R20).  The folder is a Sizzix "Dots" that was embossed on paper longer than the folder so it could be trimmed to leave a spot to stamp the greeting.  The snowman is popped, the white mounted on a red  and a simple 4.25 x 5.5 card is made.  Hope you enjoy.

Winter Berries

In looking at ideas on the internet I found a card that inspired this project.  The stamps are from Penny Black.  The background is "Winter Berries" and stamped with Adirondack "Hazelnut".  The greeting is another Penny Black "Christmas Cheer" stamped in archival black and clear embossed.  The deer is a die from Tim Holtz and Sizzix cut with the new mirror product by Tim Holtz.  If you look close you can get the image of the camera.  The paper is from Kaiser " Just Believe".  The larger berries were highlighted with Glossy Accents.  The finished size of the card is a 5.5 square.  Grand Labels One by Spellbinders was used to cut the card.  Do Hope you enjoy.

Christmas Cheer

Everyone needs gift cards either for the Holiday or perhaps a birthday or anniversary.  This Holiday gift card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire in an online Holiday Gift Projects class.  This project was made using Penny Black stamps "Christmas Cheer" and "a cool Christmas".  The paper used was Bazzill white, Neenah solar white and Little Yellow Bicycle "Winterings".  The snowflake is from Impression Obsession and distressed with Ranger "Iced Spruce".  Copic Markers were used to color the image stamped with Memento black while the sentiment was stamped with Ranger archival black.  The copics used for this project include:  B0000, BG72, Y19, Y32, R20, E00, E31, E34, E35, C1 and N1.

Country Landscape

Country Landscape was inspired by the Online Holiday Card class.  The background was distressed with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers.  The landscape is "Country Landscape" by Memory Box and was cut out of white card stock with scor tape and Ranger distress dry glitter : clear rock candy was added.  The Starry Sky is a punch by Martha Stewart with a paper distressed with Tarnished Brass distress stain placed behind.  A bow was added above the sentiment from Penny Black "Christmas Cheer".  Hope you enjoy.

A splash of winter

Want a simple card?  This card fits the definition of simple.  The tree is a stamp by Penny Black "a splash of winter" embossed in white on white card stock.  The next step was to spray the stamped image with Imagine Crafts Fireworks "Bahama Blue" and allow it to dry.  Fireworks has a little glimmer to it.  An oval was cut using a Spellbinder die from Bazzil cardstock.  The sentiment is another Penny Black set "Christmas Cheer" stamped using Ranger archival black and then embossed using clear embossing powder.    Hope you enjoy.
