Hand Stamped Sentiments...Christmas Card



Hi friends,

 

Just popping in to share a card for this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.  I immediately thought of Christmas lights.  I guess because I'm beginning to see them around my neighborhood (a bit early since we haven't had Thanksgiving yet) but, oh well!

 

 

 

 

My card:

 

 

I don't have a lot of Christmas stamps, but I do have Cricut Cartridges that have Christmas images.  I pulled out my Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge for the bright Christmas lights.

SIP#17...Floral Theme

Happy Saturday!



For today's card, I'm playing along with this week's Stamp Ink Paper Challenge.  Their theme is floral.

 

 

My card:



 

I created a very simple birthday card, using a stamp I haven't used in awhile.  It's by Penny Black called Charming.  I did, however, mask off a flower because it was a bit too long.

Supplies:
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black (SU!), lavender card stock, Neenah Solar White; Stamps: Charming (Penny Black), Big Wishes (Inspired by Stamping); Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); Tools: Stamp-a-ma-jig; Other: Copic Markers, Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh)

The Paper Players: White on White & 52CCT

Happy Sunday!

I took some time out of my Sunday afternoon to make a card.  The Paper Players Challenge has an elegant color theme - White on White or Vanilla, plus a neutral or metallic sentiment:

 Over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge, we were asked to choose any past 2013 Challenge.  I chose Theme #1: Christmas Flowers:


My card:

My card literally took about 15 minutes.  I wish all of my cards were that quick to put together!  The card base is Whisper White, with a second layer embossed with the Holly folder.  This folder is one of my favorites for Christmas cards.  I used more Whisper White to die-cut the beautiful poinsettia using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia.  The sentiment is from Penny Black Christmas Cheer, and was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia.  I thought it was the perfect sentiment for an all-white Christmas card.  A simple rhinestone in the middle of the poinsettia finishes off the details.
