Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking - two cool

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking Cards

I love this fun diagonal card design and it's surprisingly easy to create! Pick your favorite DSP (maybe it's on sale thru tomorrow!), and a focal point image and try making this card style on your own!

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking - olive

Background Basics—I started with a 4" x 4" piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (on sale now!). I sliced the bottom of the piece at a diagonal with my Stampin' Trimmer. I just kind of eye-balled it, because it doesn't need to be exact. The cut left about 1" on the left side and about 1-3/4" on the right. Next, adhere the corresponding pieces to the top and bottom of a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking - olive 2

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Tag Buffet sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink across the diagonal Whisper White space, as close to the left edge as I could. I adhered a 3/8" strip of Gold Foil along the top of the diagonal and a 1/2" strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock along the bottom edge of the diagonal. After trimming off the excess parts of the strips, I mounted the card front layers onto a Mossy Meadow card base. I added a few Red Rhinestones along the Mossy Meadow strip, too.

Sweet Stocking—I stamped the Tag Buffet stocking image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White and colored it in with Stampin' Blends Markers. I used Real Red with Cherry Cobbler shading, along with Mossy Meadow Blends. After hand-cutting the image, I popped it up with Dimensionals. I brushed on some Wink of Stella glimmer for some extra sparkle. Then, I finished up by adding a Real Red Sheer Ribbon bow to the stocking.

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking - peacock

Two Cool—My second card begins with a 4" x 4" piece of Plaid Tidings DSP (also on sale thru tomorrow!). I cut it diagonally and mounted it onto Whisper White, then stamped a shorter Tag Buffet sentiment in Cherry Cobbler. The top of the diagonal has Silver Foil this time and the bottom is lined with a Shaded Spruce cardstock strip.

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Stocking - peacock 2

Sweet Stocking—This time, I colored the stocking with Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock Blends Markers.

The Mossy Meadow card is part of the 5-Card LIVE Class and both cards will be in the 12-Card Class Kit. Yay!

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornament - two cool

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornaments Cards

I love this sweet holiday card with a single, colorful ornament! You could use the same design with the stocking image from the Tag Buffet stamp set, too!

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornament - red

Background Basics—I began by stamping the Tag Buffet leaf image randomly over a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock in Pear Pizzazz ink. It's layered onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Whisper White and mounted onto a Real Red card base.

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornament - red 2

Sweet Sentiment—I have stamped the Tag Buffet sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3-3/4" x 7/8" strip of Sahara Sand. It's adhered to the card front with SEAL Adhesive.

Sweet Ornament—I stamped the Tag Buffet ornament image in Memento Black ink onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes oval. It's colored with Stampin' Blends Markers in Real Red, Old Olive and Soft Suede. I stamped the bow in Real Red, then used the bullet-tip end of the Real Red Blends Marker to hand-draw the string. I finished up with a Wonderful Gem in Real Red and brushed the ornament in Wink of Stella Glimmer. So sparkly!

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornament - bermuda

Two Cool—I created a second card with the same design and a Bermuda Bay card base.

Tag Buffet Merry Christmas Ornament - bermuda 2

Awesome Ornament—I added Bermuda Bay Blends to the coloring of the ornament. Everything else is the same as the original card.

The Real Red card is part of the 5-Card LIVE Class and both cards will be in the 12-Card Class Kit.

Gnome For The Holidays Peekaboo - two cool

Gnome For The Holidays Peekaboo Cards

How fun! I was inspired by a card I saw online created by Sherry Roth from Stamped Treasures for this peekaboo card! I love how it turned out!

Background Basics—My card base begins with a 7-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Mossy Meadow, scored at the 4-1/4" mark. I adhered a 5-1/2" x 2-5/8" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock across the front panel. I punched the three 1-1/2" circles from a 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and tacked that down, with adhesive lightly dabbed around the outer edges, over the Pear Pizzazz layer. For tips on aligning the circles, watch the LIVE Class Replay to see how to position the punch.

Gnome For The Holidays Peekaboo - mossy 2

Colorful Characters—I stamped the three Gnome For The Holidays characters in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White cardstock, then colored them with Stampin' Blends Markers. You can watch the LIVE Class Replay for tips on how to achieve the shaded look with these awesome markers. Here are the colors I used:

1st Gnome—Real Red, Soft Suede, Petal Pink, Old Olive
2nd Gnome—Real Red, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Shaded Spruce, Mango Melody, Soft Suede
3rd Gnome—Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Old Olive, Petal Pink

Once the images were colored, I hand-cut them, added some SEAL Adhesive to the back and tucked them inside the circles.

For the last gnome image, I cut the image so that the ornament was free to hang over the outside of the circle window. Too Cool!

Gnome For The Holidays Peekaboo - mossy 4

Sweet Sentiment—On the inside of the card, I layered a 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper along the bottom of a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White. Don't forget, that DSP is on sale right now at 15% off until the end of October! Next, I stamped the Gnome For The Holidays sentiment in Memento Black ink onto a 2-1/4" x 3/4" strip of Whisper White, banner-cut the ends and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Two Cool—On the second card, I changed up the DSP patterns and mounted them onto a Real Red card base.

Colorful Characters—I stamped the same characters and colored them similarily.

1st Gnome—Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate
2nd Gnome—Real Red, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Shaded Spruce, Mango Melody, Soft Suede
3rd Gnome—Mossy Meadow, Real Red, Old Olive, Petal Pink

Optional: Add some Wink of Stella Glimmer for shimmering accents!

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment onto a 1-3/4" x 3/4" piece of Whisper White and didn't do the banner-cut edges.

This time, the last gnome has popped out of the circle and has been popped up with Dimensionals.

No Place Like Gnome Holiday Cards

Do you love to color? I do! It's very relaxing for me. Today's cards are perfect for coloring and they are completely adorable! I created these fun recessed window style cards to really spotlight the colorful scene.

Layered Basics—There are several layers for this card, beginning with a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Shaded Spruce that's mounted onto a Whisper White Thick card base. The scene is stamped on a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Whisper White and recessed behind a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White with a Stitched Shapes oval die-cut window.

Colorful Scene—I stamped the tree trunk Gnome For The Holidays image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White backdrop, then colored it with Stampin' Blends Markers. You can watch the LIVE Class Replay for tips on how to achieve the shaded look with these awesome markers. Here are the colors I used:

Light Crumb Cake for tree trunk, shaded with Light Soft Suede.
Light bulbs in Shaded Spruce, Old Granny Apple Green and Balmy Blue, with Smoky Slate bases.
Leaves and grass in Old Olive.
Pebbles and path in Gray Granite.

I extended the grass and pathway down the piece, so that it fills up the oval window nicely. Once the coloring was done, I popped up the window layer over the top, then adhered both layers to the card front with SEAL Adhesive.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Gnome For The Holidays sentiment in Memento Black ink onto a 3-3/4" x 3/4" strip of Pear Pizzazz, then adhered the ends so the strip is positioned over the oval.

Nice Gnome—I stamped the gnome image in Memento Black onto Whisper White, then colored it with similar Blends Markers.

used:

The hat is colored with Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.
Mistletoe is in Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce.
His outfit is Shaded Spruce with Granny Apple Green shoes.
His face is Petal Pink and his beard has Smoky Slate accents.
The ornament is Granny Apple Green and Balmy Blue

I hand-cut the image and adhered it to the side of the oval and standing on the Pear Pizzazz strip.

I finished by adding a few Rhinestone Jewels around the oval.

Two Cool—For the second card, I tried the same scene with a horizontal card. I swapped out the Shaded Spruce accent layer for Real Red.

Sweet Scene—This time, I added light bulbs in Shaded Spruce, Mango Melody and Real Red. The gnome is dressed in Real Red and Old Olive, and the ornament is Real Red and Shaded Spruce.

One More—During the LIVE Class, I created a vertical with a Real Red layer, and this one is the card that will be included in the 5-Card LIVE Kit.

Gnome For The Holidays Class Cards

If you love to color, and especially if you adore gnomes, you'll love creating these cute cards! I featured paper from two different Designer Series Paper packs, both of which are on sale for 15% off during October. Both of these card designs will be included in the 5-Card LIVE Class Kit!

Gnome For The Holidays DSP - misty_edited-1

Background Basics—I embossed the 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Seaside Spray cardstock with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder, then wrapped some of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the bottom.

Oooh...that Metallic Mesh is perfect for wintery cards! It's actually featured in the Magic In This Night Halloween Suite for it's cool, cobweb appearance, but the silver shimmer makes a lovely snowy accent, too! The ends are secured to the back and then the layer is mounted onto a Basic Black card base.

DSP Layer—I layered a 3" x 4" piece of Trimming The Town DSP onto a 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" layer of Basic Black, then mounted that onto the card front.

Gnome Goodness—I stamped one of the Gnome For The Holidays characters in Memento Black Ink onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes oval die-cut. I colored the image with Stampin' Blends Markers. The hat is colored with Light Seaside Spray and Light Misty Moonlight. His outfit is colored with Misty Moonlight. His face is Light Petal Pink and his beard is lightly colored with Light Smoky Slate. I popped up the oval with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—I stamped the Gnome For The Holidays sentiment in Memento Black Ink onto a 3/8" wide strip of Smoky Slate cardstock, banner-cut the ends and adhered it to the oval. I finished by adding a few Rhinestone Jewels around the character.

Two Cool—The background for this second card is Pear Pizzazz embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Folder. It's tied with some Real Red Sheer Ribbon and mounted onto the card base. The focal point foundation is another pattern from the Trimming The Town DSP.

Girl Gnome—I stamped this image onto the same oval shape and colored her in with Real Red, Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Petal Pink, Soft Suede and Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers.

Finishing Touches—The sentiment is stamped onto a So Saffron strip this time and the character is accented with Red Rhinestones.

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window Cards

There are so many fantastic products in the Snowflake Splendor Suite, and the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper is certainly the show-stopper! With it's cool blues & aqua watercolor images, it create a lovely color palette for beautiful wintery cards! Today's projects feature this pretty paper as part of the card front, so you can enjoy both sides of this double-sided DSP!

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window - pacific

Background Basics—You can create this card with supplies in the 5-Card LIVE Class Kit! I started with a 5-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Pacific Point cardstock, scored along the 5-1/4" side at the 4-1/4" mark. This leaves a 1" panel for the card front. I cut a 4" x 5-1/2" piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and adhered it to the skinny panel to complete the card front.

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window - pacific 3

Double-Sided DSP—Since the DSP is the card front, you can enjoy the beautiful backside of the paper when you open the card! I decorated the inside with a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamped with Snowflake Wishes snowflakes in Pacific Point, Highland Heather and Balmy Blue.

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window - pacific 2

Snowflake Windows—I used a couple of snowflake dies from the So Many Snowflakes Dies set to cut two windows out of the top right of a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I saved those snowflake die-cuts, so I could use them on another card, which I'll share with you tomorrow! Next, I stamped some snowflake images from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set in Pacific Point and Highland Heather inks. Then, I popped up the layer over the card front with Dimensionals, creating pretty recessed windows. My favorite!

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Snowflake Wishes sentiment in Pacific Point ink onto a Purple Posy Stitched Shapes circle. It's popped up, too!

Finishing Touches—I added the popular Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to the centers of the two recessed snowflake windows, as well as one of the stamped snowflake images. Love that sparkle!

Two Cool—For the second card, I began with a Night of Navy card base and adhered the same pattern of Snowflake Splendor DSP on the front. This time, however, I adhered the DSP to the top of the skinny card front panel, rather than behind it. This allows the DSP to create a complete border around the recessed windows layer. Either way is fun!

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window - navy 3

The skinny card front panel is showing on the inside of this card.

Snowflake Wishes Recessed Window - navy 2

Recessed Layer—I stamped this one with Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight Snowflake Wishes images. The sentiment is in Misty Moonlight on the same Purple Posy circle die-cut.

Playful Pets Sweet & Simple Card

My final card from this week's LIVE Class Kit is sweet & simple! I'm loving the coordinating dog-themed DSP on this one!

Background Basics—I adhered a 5-1/2" x 1-3/4" strip of Playful Pets DSP, a 5-1/2" x 3/4" strip of contrasting DSP, and a 5-1/2" x 3/8" strip of Real Red cardstock across the front of a Basic Black card base. I tied some Playful Pets black/white baker's twine around the card front, fraying the ends.

Dapper Dog—I stamped the Pampered Pets dog image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White, then colored it in with Stampin' Blends. I used Smoky Slate for the dog body and Real Red for the collar. The dog is die-cut with the Pets Dies. I also stamped the bowl in Memento Black and colored it in with Real Red Blends, hand-cutting the image. Both are popped up onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes circle die-cut. I also stamped a sentiment in Memento Black onto the circle before popping it up with Dimensionals. So quick & easy!

Playful Pets Fur-Ever Friends Card

Oh my word...this card by Mary Anne Grimmer is super-cute! I absolutely adore the fun details she added!

Background Basics—Mary Anne began her card with a 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Real Red cardstock onto a Whisper White Thick card base. She adhered a 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" strip of Playful Pets DSP down the center, then added a couple of 1-1/4" squares of complementing DSP on each side, just a little off-set. The Layering Circles Basic Black circle die-cut, embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, brings the background together providing a focal point foundation.

Playful Pooch—Mary Anne stamped and colored the Pampered Pets pooch with Memento Black and Smoky Slate Blends, but it's the collar that is the awesome accent! She tied a Playful Pets Trinket to the Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon and adhered it to the collar with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. So sweet!

Fantastic Feline—Mary Anne colored her kitty with Crumb Cake Blends into a calico patterns. The cat is playing with a little baker's twine "yarn" from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack. I love how she coiled the twine into a circle with Multipurpose Glue to mimic a ball of yarn. How fun!

Loyal Leaves Color Block Background - two cool

Loyal Leaves Color Block Cards

I've always been a fan of leaf-themed stamp sets and the Loyal Leaves outline leaf images are so elegant and versatile! They are perfect for fall cards, masculine birthday cards, sympathy cards and thinking of you cards. You can also combine them with lots of cool techniques, including this fun color block background techniques!

Loyal Leaves Color Block Background - pool party

Background Basics—I embossed a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, then tied some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around it into a double-knot. It's layered onto a Basic Black card base.

Loyal Leaves Color Block Background - pool party 2

Color Block Stamping—I created the color block by stamping with the "D" Acrylic Block...no stamps, just the block! First, make sure that the block is nice & clean. Then ink up the block with Pool Party ink, spritz it about 4 times with water using the Stampin' Spritzer until small pools of ink form, then "stamp" with it onto a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White. Leave the block onto the paper, so the ink can be fully absorbed into the paper. You'll starter to see a "cracking" texture through the block, indicating that the ink is pulling away from the block and being absorbed into the cardstock. When the movement through the block stops, lift the block. Blot with tissue any excess ink that may still be pooling onto the layer.

Loyal Leaves Stamping—I stamped a Loyal Leaves sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink near the bottom of the color block, with part of it the phrase busting outside of the box border. I also added two Loyal Leaves leaf styles in Memento Black. The stamped layer is mounted onto a 3-5/8" x 3-5/8" mat in Coastal Cabana cardstock. It's popped up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—I colored a few Rhinestone Jewels with a Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Marker and floated them around the focal point.

Loyal Leaves Color Block Background - old olive

Two Cool—I selected the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder for the background on this second version and tied the Old Olive Ornate Garden Ribbon around the layer.

Loyal Leaves Color Block Background - old olive 2

Lovely Leaves—This color block in stamped in Soft Seafoam, then stamped with the same leaves and a different sentiment, all in Memento Black ink. It's layered onto an Old Olive layer.

Finishing Touches—I colored these Rhinestone Jewels with the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends Markers.

Pretty Poinsettia Plush Overlay Cards

Elegant & wintery! That's how I would described these stunning holiday cards featuring the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. The Poinsettia Plush Specialty Paper provides a gorgeous, velvet-textured backdrop to the extraordinary poinsettia flower in winter white! Create the Coastal Cabana version of this card in my 5-Card LIVE Class Kit!

Background Basics—I layered one of the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper patterns, measuring 5" x 3-3/4", onto a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock. To attach it, I used small dabs of SEAL to minimize the adhesive showing through the translucent vellum. The layers are mounted onto a Thick Whisper White card base.

Pretty Poinsettia Plush Overlay cards - coastal 2

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Poinsettia Petals greeting in Bermuda Bay ink onto a 5" x 1-1/2" strip of Whisper White, banner cut on the end. It's adhered with SEAL adhesive.

Pretty Poinsettia Plush Overlay cards - coastal 3

Pretty Poinsettia—The flower is absolutely lovely! I die-cut the three Whisper White layers and small Silver Foil flower center using the Poinsettia Dies. I love how it cuts out the petals and adds beautiful embossed veins to the petals! I gently curved the petals with a Bone Folder, then attached the layers together with Glue Dots. It's topped with a Large Pearl Jewel Rhinestone. Wow! So stunning!

Finishing Touches—I added a couple of Pearl Jewels around the sentiment, too.

Pretty Poinsettia Plush Overlay cards - heather 1

Two Cool—I recreated the same card with a different pattern of Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper overlaying a Highland Heather cardstock background.

Pretty Poinsettia Plush Overlay cards - heather 2

Sweet Sentiment—The greeting is also stamped in Highland Heather ink.
