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.

Joy, Jolly, Peace

Joy, Jolly,  Peace is inspired by the Online Card class that I recently took.  This is a very simple card.  I began by cutting a piece of white 2.75 inch by 3.5 inch.  Next using an embossing folder by Sizzix I found a section that I wanted to emboss.  The next step is to lightly brush across the embossed image with Copic BG10 and E50.  Just do this lightly followed by Distress Stain Picket fence.  Allow to dry and then distress the edges with Antique Linen.  I made an A2 card base and rounded the corners.  A 2 x 5.5 piece was cut from Kaiser "Just Believe" and adhered to the card base.  I popped the embossed piece and added two snowflakes.  The snowflakes were cut using an Impression Obsession die and Bazzill Bling-white.  As I said before a very simple card.  Hope you enjoy.

Believe

Sorry about not posting a new holiday card these past few days, but have started to mass produce one of the recent posts.  This card was made using SRM stickers and designed by them too.  It was another one of the cards from the sticker workshop this past week.  Really simple, but I feel a very nice looking card.  I have a few of these to make too and plan to make a few new designs this coming week.  Have some Penny Black and Hero Arts I want to try out.   Till then-Hope you enjoy.

Peace and Joy

This post is the same design with a little change as the card posted yesterday.  The poinsettia was made using  the new Tim Holtz rock candy glitter and cut with a Spellbinder die.  To make it I used wide (1 1/2 inch) score tape on card stock and cut the flower.  The next step was to peal off the protective paper and add the glitter pressing it firmly into the tape.  A gem was added to the center.  The sentiment is from Penny Black "Christmas Cheer" stamped with archival ink and then heat embossed in clear.  The folder is a snowflake from Sizzix.  Hope you enjoy

Merry Christmas

This festive Holiday card was inspired by one from the Online Card Class designed by Jennifer McGuire.  For my card I used a Sizzix snowflake embossing folder and the Tim Holtz diffuser.  The diffuser is an oval shape with Merry Christmas from a Penny Black set stamped with archival black.  The Poinsettia is from a Spellbinder set with a little glitter pen added to the center.   A twine sits behind the flower to finish off the card.  This is one of those that only take minutes to make.  Hope you enjoy.

tis the season

These are two cards I made in a sticker workshop at my LSS Fond Memories.  The cards are from SRM stickers and designed by them.  We made 8 cards in under 45 minutes.  Short on time this is an answer to quick cards.  Fond Memories purchased these as kits for the workshop.  We used "We've got your sticker #53006 Merry" for this project.  For those that shop FM I bet some kits are left.   fun to make and I hope you enjoy

Cool Christmas

This card uses two different stamps.  The penguins come from Art Impressions "Holiday tree Penguins" and the greeting is from Penny Black "a cool Christmas".  The card is a finished size of 7 by 3 3/4 inchs.  This was colored with Copic Markers  (R 29, R 39, YG 93, YG95, E34, # 35, YR 65, Y28, C 1, V 17).  The sentiment was stamped with Ranger archival black and heat embossed in clear.  The paper comes from Echo Park and the gems are Twinkle Goosebumps.  I added white glitter to the star and a little ultrafine Flowersoft to the hats.  Hope you enjoy
