First, I used a brayer to add color to the 5 x 4 Whisper White panel. 

I then die cut the panel using the Top Note Die. Using a mask for the top portion of the die cut, I added the ground to the die cut, using Crumb Cake.

Next, I stamped my tree in Emerald Envy.

I then added my sentiment and a few pine cones using Early Espresso.

I adhered the DSP panel to the Emerald Envy card base and attached the Top Note Die cut using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some enamel shapes to the tree and a star button as the top ornament. The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Balmy Rose

Shaped cards are very unique. They are sure to put a smile on the recipient's face. As long as you have a shaped die cut, you can create a shaped card. Here is one with a rose on it to send Birthday Wishes.

Stamps: Healing Hugs, Varied Vases

Paper: Whisper White A-2

Ink: Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy

Technique: Shaped Card, Die Cutting

Accessories: Top Note Die, 1/4" Lemon Lime Twist Organdy Ribbon (16"), Basic Pearl Jewels

When you create a shaped card, you must remember to leave the top or the side in tack. The card must have a folded edge in order to open. This card has its fold on top. So the flap opens upward. The inside is left blank for the sender to write their own personal message. 

Thank you for looking and feel free to contact me with any questions. I treasure all of your feedback. Have a wonderful day.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Merry Christmas Beauty

Imagine a blanket of snow under a branch with a red cardinal perched on it. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Stamps: Beauty of the Season, Good Greetings

Paper: Real Red A-2, Whisper White 5 x 4, DSP 5 3/8 x 4 1/8

Ink: Archival Basic Black, Soft Suede, Markers: Rose Red, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Basic Black

I stamped the cardinal on the Whisper White card stock using my Archival Basic Black ink. I then centered it on my Top Note Die and ran it through my Big Shot. I used my markers to color in my image. The sentiment was stamped using Soft Suede. I then adhered the DSP onto the card base with the Top Note Die cut centered onto it. 

I know that most of these products have been discontinued, but if you are an avid crafter then you have some of these things in your stash. If you don't, I hope you gain inspiration from my simple creation to make your own.
