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.

Merry Mischief - Holly Jolly Greetings

Hello Stampers,

At last, the weather is cooling down, and it feels so wonderful to open the windows and let the fresh air in. Instead of spotlighting a particular product, I’ll be embracing the Christmas spirit and working on ideas for cards I will make in multiples. I love gnomes, so of course I couldn’t resist ordering this adorable set—LOL! With so many little pieces and lots of time needed to put everything together, this probably won’t be a card I can make multiples of, but it will certainly be a special one. I also believe this is the most products I used on any card I've ever made. YIKES!

I started this card with stamping one of the gnomes from the Merry Mischief Stamp Set onto Basic White Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Ink, then coloring it with Peaceful Pine, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Medium Light & Light Stampin' Blends, before die-cutting it with the Merry Mischief Dies. I recently saw someong adding some cotton to their card, so I grabbed a q-tip & with some glue added cotton to the bottom of the suit & for the pom pom. For the mushroom, I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and Golden Glow Cardstocks. I embossed the mushroom cap with the Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder (candy canes), then used a Sponge Dauber to apply Cherry Cobbler Ink around the edges. I also used a Blending Brush to add extra color to the door and lights with Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler Inks. I also added Wink Of Stella to the lights & ornaments on the beard. I fussy cut a snow bank using Basic White Cardstock, then used a sentiment from the Festive Cheer Stamp Set, stamping it with Cherry Cobbler Ink. I chose Basic White Cardstock for the base, then added a layer of A Stitched Season DSP, before starting to assemble the card, everything was glued except for the gnome where I used Stampin' Dimensionals.

Autumn Opulence - Celebrate Today

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was the last card I made for spotlight on Autumn Opulence, but couldn't share it until now since it was made for my mom's birthday. 

I started this card using a Golden Glow Cardstock base, before adding a layer of Autumn Opulence DSP. For the sentiment, I used Golden Glow Cardstock that was die-cut using the Nested Essentials Dies, then used the Framed & Fabulous Stamp Set with Blackberry Bliss Ink. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add it to the card, then finished it by adding a few Antique Pearls.
