Frosted Pinecones - Winter Wishes

Hello Stampers,
Today's Christmas card started off way different than how it ended, but I'm liking the new version. The template used is from Jackie Bolhuis.

I began with a Pecan Pie Cardstock base and added a layer of Shaded Spruce Cardstock, cut into 3 sections. Before attaching the panels, I stamped them with the pine needle image from the Noel Tidings Stamp Set using Shaded Spruce Ink.

For the focal image, I stamped the largest image from the Frosted Pinecones Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock with Early Espresso Ink. I then colored it using the Pecan Pie, Shaded Spruce, & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. I chose Soft Sea Foam to soften the stark white areas and create a more cohesive look.

For the sentiment, I used Soft Sea Foam Cardstock instead of Basic White, as I preferred the softer color. I stamped the sentiment with Pecan Pie Ink, die-cut it using the Noel Tidings Dies, & popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals for added dimension.

To finish the card, I embellished it with a few retired Glitter Sequins for a touch of sparkle.

Welcome Noel - From Our House To Yours

Hello Stampers,
Today's Christmas card was made for this week's Freshly Made Sketches sketch using products from the Neutral Noel Suite Collection.

I started with a Basic Beige Cardstock base and added a layer of Neutral Noel DSP. Using the Welcome Noel & Noel Tidings Bundles, I stamped the house, bush, and sentiment on Basic Beige & Mossy Meadow Cardstock with Pecan Pie & Mossy Meadow Ink Pads, then die-cut the images with the coordinating dies. I colored the house windows with the Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blends Combo Pack before attaching the house and bush to a 2-3/8" Circle Punch piece. To finish the card, I used Stampin' Dimensionals to raise both the focal image and the sentiment for added depth.

Whispering Woods - Merry Christmas

Hello Stampers,
Today's Christmas card was inspired by a sketch from Dawn Griffith using the lovely Whispering Woods DSP.  For each sale of this DSP $3.00 will be donated to organizations around the world to help spread holiday cheer.

I started this card cutting 6 squares from the Whispering Woods DSP, layering them on Shaded Spruce & Blueberry Bushel Cardstocks, then adding all the layers to a Basic White Cardstock base. I used the 2" Circle Punch to punch out the moose from the DSP, then layered it with a retired 2 1/4" Circle Punch which was then attached to the other layers using Stampin' Dimensionals. I used a sentiment from Soiree Salutations Stamp Set, stamping it with Pretty Peacock Ink onto Basic White Cardstock then die-cut it using the Noel Tidings Dies. Lastly, I added a few Pearl Faceted Dots that will be coming soon to finish the card.

Festive Cheer - Sending Cheer

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was made for this week's Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic InstaHop featuring Night Of Navy. I've used Night Of Navy for Christmas cards in the past, so it was easy to apply my theme to this card. You can go to my Instagram page to get the links of the other participants to show them a little love.

This card was inspired by a sketch from Tamara Bertram. I started this card by cutting the 3 main pieces of Basic White & Night Of Navy Two-Tone Cardstocks, then used stamps from the Festive Cheer Stamp Set with Night Of Navy & Smoky Slate Ink Pads to decorate. These pieces were added to Night Of Navy & Basic White Cardstock layers before being added to a Night Of Navy Cardstock base.
