Blue Christmas Angel

Christmas cards do not need to be full of glitter and sparkle to shine. This is a monochromatic card, and I think it carries its own attraction.

Stamps:

   Angels on Earth

Paper:

   Whisper White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Pacific Point

Technique:

   Monochromatic

Accessories:

   Striped Pacific Point Ribbon (5")

   Pacific Point Candy Dots

   Adhesive

First, I watercolored the Whisper White panel with Pacific Point. This gave me a light shade of Pacific Point.

I then stamped the four corners of the panel with a corner stamp from the the Angels on Earth stamp set.

Next, I stamped my angel on the lower half of the card.

I followed with the sentiment on the top part of the card.

I then added the ribbon as a dividing line between the image and the sentiment. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and secured it on the back.

I added three Pacific Point candy dots below the sentiment and adhered the panel to the card base.

If you still want that sparkle, you can always substitute rhinestones in place of the candy dots. You can also add Wink of Stella to the angel's wings for the sparkly, glorified look.

Painted Autumn One Sheet Wonder

Create 14 unique cards with one 12 x 12 sheet from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Pack. Here is a picture of all the cards:

Here is the template that I used: 

The circled number corresponds to the card number. 

Each card has a unique name to identify it. 

My goal is to use every bit of designer series paper. Everything else is taken out of my own supplies. You can substitute whatever you have on hand. Use the layout to cut and create with your own 12 x 12 paper.

Here is a You Tube Video I made explaining the 14 cards.

There is a separate entry for each of the cards that you can refer to for more details. Here are the titles of the cards in numerical order:

Thankful OSW #1

Flower Basket OSW #2

Thank You Sunflower OSW #3

Cat Note OSW #4

Birthday Wishes OSW #5

Thanks OSW #6

Leafy Day OSW #7

Hello Sunflower OSW #8

Thankful Tree OSW #9

Brighter Days OSW #10

Peace OSW #11

Sunflower Birthday OSW #12

Halloween Night OSW #13

Winter Trees OSW #14

Before I began any of the cards I stamped and die cut 6 sunflower images using the Painted Harvest stamp set and the Sunburst Framelits Dies. My favorite color combinations are: Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Early Espresso. You can choose any of the colors that coordinate with the DSP. These were done on a Whisper White sheet.

I also stamped and punched out leaves. I used 7. They are stamped using Garden Green and punched out with the Leaf Punch.

The easiest thing to do is to see the details of each card in its own entry.

Thank you for dropping by here and taking a peek.

Stamps:

   Butterfly Basics

   Painted Harvest

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2

   Painted Autumn DSP 4 x 3/4 (3)

   Whisper White 2-1/4" Sq.

Ink:

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Pumpkin Pie Corduroy Button Brad

   Large Pearl

   Glue Dot

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped several ferns from the Butterfly Basics stamp set onto the Very Vanilla card front. 

Next, I gathered the three strips of DSP and attached the Pumpkin Pie Corduroy Button Brad at one end. Make sure all the pieces are facing the same way.

Then I adhered the brad with the DSP to the bottom left corner of the card front. I spread the  DSP apart and adhered it to the card base. One strip went along the bottom, another went up along the left fold. The third piece went straight out in the middle.

I then added a sunflower with dimensionals. I adhered the large pearl to the center of the sunflower.

Lastly, I added the sentiment to the center top of the card.

Here is a video showing and explaining all 14 cards. I apologize in advance for my senior moments. I think you will get the "jest", I mean the gist of it.

Peace OSW #11

This is card 11 of 14 using one sheet from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper Pack.

Stamps:

   Christmas Quilt

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2

   Painted Autumn DSP 4 x 3

   Basic Black 3" Sq.

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Quilt Builder Framelits Dies

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the top part of the DSP using the Quilt Builder Framelits. I placed the pieces aside, but kept them in place.

I then stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the DSP.

Next, I adhered this panel onto the Very Vanilla card base, centering it.

Having double sided DSP that coordinates is a big plus when you want to showcase a section of it. So, as you can see, I did turn over pieces of the DSP before gluing them. Note that four of the pieces were not flipped. 

I die cut a frame for the quilt pattern and adhered it.

Here is a video explaining all 14 cards I made.

Brighter Days OSW #10

This is card 10 of 14 using one sheet from the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper Pack.

Stamps:

   Beautiful You

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2

   Painted Autumn DSP 4 x 5-1/4 (measure 1" from top left and right bottom, then cut diagonally)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   Adhesive

I used the top half of the previous panel. It is cut one inch from the top and bottom on a diagonal. Since the DSP is double sided, I flipped the paper over and used the back side for this card. 

I adhered the DSP to the top part of the Very Vanilla card base.

I then stamped the lady with her umbrella on the bottom right corner.

I added the sentiment to the left of her. I decided to not add any color. 

Here is a video showing and explaining all 14 cards. Please excuse my senior moments.

I took the 4 x 5-1/4 piece of DSP and made a mark 1" from the bottom right corner and another mark 1" from the top left corner. I then put these two marks on the cutting groove of my cutter and cut the paper. 

Taking the bottom half of the paper, I adhered it to the Very Vanilla card base after stamping the tree from the Sheltering Tree stamp set. 

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on the top left of the card.
