Snowflake Wishes Simple Panel Card

Pretty holiday cards don't have to be difficult to make! I love this quick & easy card design, especially for stamping a whole stack of cards!

Stamped Panels—The panels were so easy to create! Place 5 of the Snowflake Wishes snowflake images on a large E Block. Ink up the images with Bermuda Bay ink and stamp onto a 4" x 3" piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock. Ink up the small spray of snowflakes image and fill in the empty spaces with tiny snowflakes in Bermuda Bay. Use the Stampin' Trimmer to cut the piece into 1" x 3" pieces. Pop up the panels with Dimensionals onto a Coastal Cabana card base. For easiest alignment, attach the first and fourth panel to the card base first, then fill in with the remaining panels, spacing them equally apart.

Sweet Sentiment—Stamp the Snowflake Wishes sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink onto a 3-1/2" x 3/4" piece of Whisper White and adhere with Glue Dots.

Finishing Touches—Adhere small, medium and large Rhinestones to some of the snowflake centers. Done!

May Your Season Sparkle Emboss Resist Card

Step up your holiday cards with this stunningly elegant Snowflake Wishes card with one of my favorite technique—Emboss Resist! It takes a little more time, and it's SO worth it!

Embossed Background—Stamp several of the Snowflake Wishes snowflake images in VersaMark Ink onto a Shimmery White layer die-cut with the largest Stitched Rectangles die. Sprinkle on some White Embossing Powder and heat-set with the Heat Tool until glossy & smooth. Next, use a wedge of a Stampin' Sponge to gently run on Blushing Bride ink over the embossed snowflakes. Wipe off the excess ink with a tissue. Adhere the embossed layer onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White, then mount onto a Blushing Bride card base.

Sweet Snowflakes—Die-cut several Vellum Cardstock snowflakes using the So Many Snowflake Dies. Attache them over several of the embossed snowflakes with Glue Dots. Oooh...I love that soft texture layer!

Sweet Sentiment—Stamp the Snowflake Wishes greeting in Blushing Bride ink onto another Whisper White Stitched Rectangle die-cut. Fold some Snowflake Splendor Ribbon in half and adhere to the back of the sentiment rectangle. Add to the card front with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—Add Rhinestone Jewels to the vellum snowflakes and around the sentiment for lots of sparkle!

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero Cards

There are a couple of cool techniques happening on this fall-themed thinking of you card. One is sponging double colors onto the stamp and one is double-time layered stamping. I love these cards so much and I'm featuring both of them as part of the LIVE 5-Card Kit this week!

Background Basics—Do you see how the stamped images flow off of the focal point layer onto the background? I love that look and it's so easy to achieve! I started by tacking down a 4" x 3" piece of Whisper White cardstock onto the Pretty Peacock card base with just a couple of dabs of SEAL Adhesive. Then the stamping was done, with the images going off the edge of the White cardstock onto the card base. There will be a little gap without stamping at the very edge of the cardstock, but that will be covered up later with the mat.

I tied some Pretty Peacock/Old Olive Reversible Ribbon around the card front. Then, the 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" Old Olive mat was added and the layers were popped up onto the card front with Dimensionals. Let's look more closely at the stamping technique...

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero - peacock 2

Sponged Leaves—I stamped the Loyal Leaves sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the 4" x 3" Whisper White layer. For each of the leaf images, I inked the images first in Pear Pizzazz ink, then I used a Sponge Dauber with Pretty Peacock ink to lightly dab color directly onto the rubber before stamping onto the cardstock layers. Be sure to clean the stamp with the Simply Shammy between each image.

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero - peacock 3

I adore the soft two-color look of these leaves with this Too Cool technique! You can try any combination of colors; simply ink with the lighter color and sponge with the darker color.

Finishing Touches—I colored a few Rhinestone Jewels with a Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends Marker and floated them around the sentiment.

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero - razzleberry

Two Cool—This time, I selected Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie as the color combination and tried a vertical orientation.

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero - razzleberry 2

Lovely Leaves—The leaves are inked first in Pumpkin Pie ink and sponged lightly with Rich Razzleberry ink. Ooh, so pretty! The sentiment is in Rich Razzleberry. The stamped layer is mounted onto 4-1/8" x 3-1/8" Pumpkin Pie cardstock and popped up onto the Rich Razzleberry card base.

Loyal Leaves You Are My Hero - razzleberry 3

Finishing Touches—I wrapped these layers with some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. The Champagne Rhinestones coordinate perfectly with this color palette! Beautiful!

Which color card do you like best? What colors would you like to try?

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - two cool

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers Cards

Bring the Blossoms In Bloom flowers to life by sponging multiple colors on the stamp before stamping onto the paper! This technique is so much fun to experiment with different color combinations! I created a lighter, more subtle image for the first card, then stepped it up with bold bright colors for the second card. So fun!

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - misty

Sponged Flowers—I inked the Blossoms In Bloom large floral image first with Seaside Spray, then I used a fingertip Sponge Dauber to dab on some Highland Heather ink around the center of each bloom. I stamped the images onto a 3-3/4" x 5" of Whisper White cardstock. TIP: Always start with the lighter color, then dab on the darker color for minimal ink pad contamination.

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - misty 2

Next, I stamped the dotted flower centers in Misty Moonlight ink and added some Mint Macaron leaves around the flowers and in some of the blank spaces between the flowers. I layered the stamped piece onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" Night of Navy mat. I also added a 1/2" x 5-1/8" strip of Seaside Spray cardstock that is embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - misty 3

Finishing Touches—I tied some of the new Flowers For Every Season twine around the layers. I love this new twine! It's Misty Moonlight & White twine wrapped with a silver thread for a little bit of shine. The layers are mounted onto a Misty Moonlight card base. I used my Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Marker to color a few Rhinestone Jewels and sprinkled them around the flowers, too.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a Blossoms In Bloom greeting in Misty Moonlight ink onto a Purple Posy banner die-cut with the Tasteful Labels dies, then popped it up with Dimensionals.

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - magenta

Two Cool—For the bolder card, I inked the Blossoms In Bloom image with Magenta Madness first, then sponged on Gorgeous Grape.

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - magenta 2

The leaves are in bright Granny Apple Green and the flower centers are in Mango Melody. I layered this piece onto Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

Blossoms In Bloom Sponged Flowers - magenta 3

Finishing Touches—This time, I tied the pretty Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon around the layers before mounting them onto the Magenta Madness card base. The Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins has some lovely bold colors that matched this card perfectly.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Blossoms In Bloom greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a Bumblebee Stitched Rectangles die-cut and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Which color combo appeals to you the most: Soft & Subtle or Bright & Bold?

Blossoms In Bloom Sure Do Miss You Card

I received this swap card from the fabulous Dena Rekow and it features a pretty new stamp set called Blossoms In Bloom. I especially love her color combo of Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy and Granny Apple Green.

Stamped Background—Dena stamped the large Blossoms In Bloom image in Coastal Cabana ink onto a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White. She added in the dotted flower centers with Night of Navy ink, then stamped some leave images from the set in Granny Apple Green around the blooms. She adhered the stamped layer onto a 4" x 5-1/4" Night of Navy layer.

Finishing Touches—Dena tied some Denim Ribbon around the layers before mounting them onto a Coastal Cabana card base. She finished by stamping a greeting from the Blossoms In Bloom set in Night of Navy ink onto a 2" x 1/2" strip of Whisper White. She fish-tail cut the end and popped it up with Dimensionals so it was flush with the edge of the layers. Love it!

Blossoms In Bloom Birthday Card

I also adore the colors in this lovely swap card created by Kim Peck! She combined the Many Layered Blossoms from the bundle to give added texture and detail to her Blossoms In Bloom card.

Stamped Background—Kim created multicolored flowers by sponging Seaside Spray and Highland Heather inks onto the Blossoms In Bloom rubber stamp, then stamping it onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White. She added flower centers in So Saffron and leaves in Mint Macaron.

Next, she die-cut the coordinating Many Layered Blossoms from Whisper White cardstock and adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue over the top.

Finishing The Card—Kim added some pretty Misty Moonlight & silver twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack around the layer and mounted it onto a Purple Posy card base. She finished by stamping the Blossoms In Bloom birthday greeting in Mint Macaron onto Whisper White and die-cutting it with the Ornate Frames dies. It's layered onto a Purple Posy coordinating Ornate Frames die and popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - two cool

Healing Hugs Roses With Sprigs Cards

I wanted to really highlight the gorgeous Healing Hugs rose on this card, so I featured it on layers of foliage on these two get well cards.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - sea foam

Background Basics—I gave the background of this card some subtle texture by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Soft Sea Foam with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. It's adhered to a matching Soft Sea Foam card base. I added a 4" x 2" layer of gingham from the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack.

Stamped Label—I created a foundation for my flower with a Whisper White Stitched Nested Labels die-cut. I stamped the two leafy images from Healing Hugs all around the edges in Soft Sea Foam ink, then adhered the label with SNAIL.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - sea foam 3

Beautiful Bloom—I stamped the rose in Flirty Flamingo ink and the leaves in Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White, then I fussy-cut them with my super-sharp Paper Snips. I punched out a few Mossy Meadow leaves with the Sprig Punch and positioned them around the flower, adhering them to the label with SNAIL. Then, I popped up the flower and leaves over the top.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - sea foam 4

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Healing Hugs greeting in Mossy Meadow ink onto a Petal Pink Ornate Frames die-cut and popped it up with Dimensionals. I added Champagne Rhinestone Jewels for a little sparkle.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - balmy blue

Two Cool—The second horizontal card begins with a Balmy Blue textured layer on a Balmy Blue card base with Balmy Blue gingham DSP.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - balmy blue 4

Sentiment Label—I stamped leaves on the label in Old Olive and I also added an Old Olive decorative border along the bottom of the label. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I added some silver Metallic Pearls on this one.

Healing Hugs Rose with Sprigs - balmy blue 3

Beautiful Bloom—I inked up the rose in Balmy Blue, then added a little Night of Navy ink to the center of the rubber image with a Sponge Dauber before stamping the rose onto Whisper White. The leaves are in Pear Pizzazz and the sprigs are in Old Olive. I'm loving this layered look!

Healing Hugs Two-Color Roses Cards

The large DisINKtive rose image in the Healing Hugs stamp set is perfect for doing a little two-color sponging! It's so easy to get a beautifully blended, two-color look!

Background Basics—I started by adhering a 1" x 5-1/2" strip of Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper down the side of a Petal Pink card base.

Two-Color Sponging—I stamped the roses and leaves onto a 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White. For the roses, I started by inking the entire image in the lighter Petal Pink ink, then I used a Sponge Dauber to dab on some Flirty Flamingo ink onto the center of the rubber flower image. When I stamped it on the cardstock, it looks AMAZING! Remember, you'll have to ink and sponge each time you want to stamp the image.

Next, I stamped the leaf image in Pear Pizzazz next to the roses to fill in some of the blank spaces. The layer is adhered to a 3" x 5-1/2" piece of Pear Pizzazz.

Finishing Touches—I tied some Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon around the layers before adhering them to the card front.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Healing Hugs greeting in Old Olive ink onto a Whisper White Stitched Shapes die-cut and popped it up with Dimensionals. I added a single Champagne Rhinestone Jewel for a little matching sparkle. It's so SO pretty!

Two Cool—The second card begins with a 1" x 5-1/2" strip of the 2019-2021 In Color 6" x 6" Seaside Spray Designer Series Paper.

Healing Hugs Two-Color Roses - seaside 2

Focal Point—I inked up the flower in Seaside Spray ink first. Then, rather than adding the Highland Heather ink in the center, I dabbed it onto the outer edges of the rose for a little bit different look.

Healing Hugs Two-Color Roses - seaside 3

Finishing Touches—This time, I tied the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon around the layers and adorned the sentiment with silver Metallic Pearls. I love how the pearls have kind of a bluish tone so they really match the Seaside Spray color.

Timeless Tropical Sponged Highlight cards - two cool

Timeless Tropical Masked Color Blends Cards

As I was playing with the Timeless Tropical stamp set, it reminded me of another stamp set with an ocean or sea theme...Sailing Home. I decided to CASE a card layout I did last year with that set. You can see it here: Sailing Home Masked Color Blends. That project was actually a CASE of another set of cards I created way back in 2014, which you can see here: Traveler Masked & Blended Color Cards. Hey, when it's a good thing, why reinvent the wheel?

Timeless Tropical Sponged Highlight cards - rest & relax

Blended Basics—I started by adding a column of blended color to a 5" x 3-3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I laid two edges of copy paper across the cardstock about 1" apart. I used my Stamparatus this time so that the magnets held the paper masks in place a little better. (Be careful not to put the magnets too close or they will snap together and possibly break or at least be impossible to pull apart!). You'll still have to use your fingers to hold the edges of the paper down.

6a01053721a060970b0240a462c44b200c-800wi

Next, I used my Stampin' Sponges to added Crumb Cake ink to the bottom of the layer and to blend it into Pool Party ink at the top. The photo above is from the last year's masking & blending post, and there I used Sponge Daubers. Either one will work great for this technique!

Timeless Tropical Sponged Highlight cards - rest & relax 2

Sweet Stamping—Once the ink color was blended to my liking, I stamped the Timeless Tropical palm trees and sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the sponged layer. I love how the blended band highlights the focal point image! So cool!

Lovely Layers—I adhered a 5" x 1/2" strip of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper across the bottom, then mounted it onto a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Basic Black. It's popped up with Dimensionals onto a Crumb Cake card base.

Finishing Touches—I tied a small piece of Braided Linen Trim into a knot, frayed the ends and attached it with a Glue Dot to the card front. I also colored a Basic Rhinestone with Soft Suede Dark Stampin' Blends Marker and added a couple of Pool Party gems from the Holiday Rhinestones pack, too. Those sparkly jewels remind me of sea glass!

Timeless Tropical Sponged Highlight cards - thank you

Two Cool—The second card doesn't really look tropical at all. This sponging technique makes the card clean, simple and kind of elegant. In fact, it's so versatile, it could be used for a masculine birthday or even a sympathy card. I blended Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Old Olive inks on this one, adding lots of layers to make the color dark and rich.

Timeless Tropical Sponged Highlight cards - thank you 2

Focal Point—Before popping up with Dimensionals, I tied some retiring Bermuda Bay Striped Ribbon around the layers, then mounted them onto a Bermuda Bay card base. LOVE these colors...what about you?

Ornate Garden Golden Panel Thanks Cards

The Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper has several sheets with beautiful floral and decorative gold foil patterns. I created today's cards to spotlight those gold accents with golden layers!

Background Basics—This card begins with a standard 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Rococo Rose card base. I layered a 4" x 5-1/4" Rococo Rose piece, embossed with the Ornate Floral texture, onto the card front. I wrapped some Rococo Rose Gathered Ribbon, with pretty golden/copper shimmer, around the card front into a double-knot.

Sponged DSP—I used Sponge Daubers to add color to a 2" x 5" piece of the White & Gold floral pattern from the Ornate Garden DSP. I lightly sponged Rococo Rose, Calypso Coral and Mango Melody over the flowers, starting in the center of the blooms and rubbing in circles outward to spread the color. Once the flowers had color, I filled in the remaining white spots with Mango Melody.

Next, I die-cut a Gold Foil scalloped rectangle panel and adhered the floral DSP to it. It's mounted onto the card front with SNAIL.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Ornate Thanks sentiment in Rococo Rose ink onto Whisper White cardstock and added a Calypso Coral coordinating sentiment underneath it. It's punched out with the Story Label Punch. To create the gold-framed top and bottom, I punched another Story Label Punch in Gold Foil, cut it in half length-wise, and adhered each half positioned a little above and below the original shape. The sentiment is popped up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—I finished by adding a few gold Metallic Pearls, or you could use the Gilded Gems from the Ornate Garden Suite!

Ornate Garden Sponged Thanks - black mint 1

Two Cool—The second card begins with a Basic Black card base and Basic Black Ornate Floral textured layer. I wrapped a Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon around the card front, this time.

Ornate Garden Sponged Thanks - black mint 2

I cut the Mint Macaron & Gold Foil patterned sheet from the Ornate Garden DSP pack onto the Gold Foil panel this time. So pretty. I added some Gilded Gems on the bottom of this panel.

Ornate Garden Sponged Thanks - black mint 3

Sweet Sentiment—I finished by stamping an Ornate Thanks greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the smaller phrase underneath in Mint Macaron ink. So elegant! What do you think?

Flowering foils sponged blooms - two cool

Flowering Foils Sponged Blooms Cards

The most popular pattern of paper from the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Papers is hands-down the large flowers with rose gold and silver prints. I love spotlighting a single image from the paper as a focal point and adding just a little color! The end result is amazing!

Flowering foils sponged blooms - seaside

Background Basics—I started by randomly stamping some Tags In Bloom small flower images in Seaside Spray ink around the edges of a Seaside Spray card base. The Tags In Bloom stamp set can be selected for FREE with a $100 order during Sale-a-Bration and it coordinates beautifully with the Flowering Foils DSP. Remember the Flowering Foils can also be selected for FREE with a $50 order. Too Cool!

Flowering foils sponged blooms - seaside 2

Next, I layered a 4" x 3" piece of Purple Posy So Very Vellum DSP, another FREE selection with a $50 order, onto a a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. I popped up the layers with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Flowering foils sponged blooms - seaside 4

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Tags In Bloom greeting in Seaside Spray ink onto a 4" x 1-1/2" piece of Whisper White and adhered it with SNAIL.

Flowering foils sponged blooms - seaside 3

Beautiful Bloom—I added some soft color to one of the Flowering Foils blooms using Seaside Spray ink with a Sponge Dauber. Just use a light, circular motion to add the color from center toward the edges. Leaving a little white around the edges is part of the look! Then, I added some Mint Macaron to the leaves and some Highland Heather to the small buds.

I hand-cut the image with my super-sharp Paper Snips, popped up the bloom with Dimensionals, then added a Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon bow with a Mini Glue Dot. So sweet and simple!

Two Cool—For my second card, I did a vertical card with a Mint Macaron card base without adding any background stamping for a crisp clean look.

This time, the So Very Vellum is in Soft Sea Foam.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Tags In Bloom sentiment in Rococo Rose ink onto a 3" x 1" piece of Whisper White.

Pretty Bloom—This flower is the mirror image of the first flower and it's colored with Rococo Rose & Mint Macaron inks.

Beauty & Joy For Fall & Christmas

The Beauty & Joy stamp set was kind of a sleeper in the Holiday Catalog, but I've fallen in love with it's sweet seasonal images! Whether it's autumn, spring or the holiday season, you'll find just the right planter that sets just the right tone for a thank you, thinking of you, sympathy or even Christmas card.

Autumn Background Basics—For the fall-themed card, I started with a 4-1/4" x 11" vertically-folded card base in So Saffron. I added a 4-1/4" x 3" piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock across the center for a pop of color.

Next, I texture embossed a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of So Saffron cardstock with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I tied some Crushed Curry 3/8" Crinkled Seam Binding around it before mounting it to the card front with a combination of Tear & Tape and SNAIL adhesives.

Fall Focal Point—The Beauty & Joy stamp set is photopolymer, so it's easy to line up the three image that make up the tree. I started by stamping the basket in Crumb Cake onto Whisper White cardstock. Next, I added a Soft Suede tree trunk. For the multicolored leaves, I sponged on Crushed Curry ink onto the stamp with a Sponge Dauber, then sponged on some Pumpkin Pie in some spots. I love the way those leaves turned out.

I die-cut the image with the Stitched Nested Labels dies and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—I stamped the Beauty & Joy sentiment in Soft Suede onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it with the Classic Label Punch. It's also popped up with Dimensionals. I finished by adding some Wink of Stella shimmer to the leaves and basket.

Two Cool—The second card gets the holiday treatment! I started with a vertically-folded Shaded Spruce card base. Next I layered a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper onto a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Gold Foil. Before mounting the layers onto the card base, I added a strip of the gorgeous Real Red 1" Ruched Ribbon across the middle, securing the ends on the back with Tear & Tape adhesive.

Seasonal Focal Point—This time, I stamped the planter in Sahara Sand ink, added the tree trunk in Soft Suede and stamped the foliage in Shaded Spruce. I also added a little sparkle star on the top with Delicata Gold ink. I finished with some Red Rhinestones for a sparkly, festive look.

Sweet Sentiment—I finished this card by stamping the Beauty & Joy sentiment in Shaded Spruce onto a 1-1/2" x 7/8" piece of Whisper White. I layered it onto some Gold Foil and popped it up. I'm loving all of the pretty shine & sparkle on this one! How about you?
