One sheet wonder

 One sheet wonder

First I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday to you and yours!

On to my cards for today.  I needed a few extra cards, so I went looking for a one sheet wonder template.  

stamps/supplies used:  SU DSP(pattern paper), Altenew stamp co. sayings stamp set

I found this 6 x 6 one sheet wonder template on pinterest.  One sheet wonder ideas have been around for years, in fact check out this post from a few years ago.

Poinsettia

 Poinsettia

One of my holiday designs for this year is all about the flower Poinsettia.

stamps/dies used:  Spellbinders Christmas Bird Poinsettia, Altenew stamp co. all the sayings & embossing folder

This card came together pretty quickly because all the wonderful die set from Spellbinders co.  For these cards I die cut colored cardstocks, so there was no coloring.  Embossed white card panel with Altenew organic linen 3D embossing folder.  These embossing folders have been my favorite now for quite a while.  They emboss beautifully with no fussing of wetting cardstock, or anything.  I arranged the poinsettia with all the leaves on a white oval die cut, then layered onto a black oval die cut that is a little bigger.  I do like the way this card came together.

Merry and Bright

 Merry and Bright

It's that time of year for me to start showing my holiday card designs.  

stamps used:  GinaK designs Tapestry stamp, Altenew co. sayings inside and out

I don't own the tapestry stamp, my friend shared it with me, thank you very much.  It's a beautiful image, and then when you heat emboss it ... it really comes to life.  I multi-color embossed it.  That means I stamped the image with a clear embossing ink pad, next I sprinkled on some silver embossing powder, and gold embossing powder.  Heat embossed it with my heat tool to see the magic of embossing powder bring out the beauty of this image.  I layered the embossed panel onto a gold panel I die cut with a mini scallop rectangle die.  The shine of the gold panel just highlights the multi-colored tapestry panel.  Layered the saying, that I also gold embossed onto oval die cuts over the tapestry panel.  Added some self sticking gems to finish off the card.  Have you ever multi-colored with embossing powder?  Try it you just might like it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

Joyful cards

 Don't look if you are on my mailing list, and want to be surprised. teeheeehee  If you know me, I like to make multiple designs for my Holiday cards.  This year is no different.  Only difference is I did a JOY theme this year on most of my cards.

stamps/supplies:  GinaKdesigns tapestrey stamp set, Altenew stamp co. Joy die/stamps-embossing folder, Sizzix lamp post die

I used gold and white inks on some of them.  Also used embossing folder and embossing powder.  Yes, embossing powder!  If you know me I used embossing powders seldomly.  Anyway hope you like.

Elf wobbles

 Happy Christmas Eve!

stamps used:  unknown 

Stamped this image years ago over at a friend's house who isn't stamping anymore sooooooo I have no idea the company of this cute Elf.  If anyone knows please leave me a comment so I can give the company credit.

I found a baggie with these little guys stamped and all the cardstock cut to create the cards so I decided this was the year to finish them and send them out!  Hard to see in photo but the present is on one of those wobble springs.

These wobbles make a fun movable card!

Pine cone Season's greetings

 

stamps used:  Catherine Pooler pine cone greetings stamps/dies 

Papers by  Unity stamp co.

I totally cased this card from Catherine Pooler site ... I don't have any of their papers or sequins so I used what I had on hand in my stash.  I am having so much fun with this pine cone stamp set and dies!  I plan on making more cards with this stamp set, probably some birthday or thinking of you cards.

Thank you for stopping by.  come back again soon.

Pine cone sketch card

 

stamps used:  Catherine Pooler stamps/dies

One more sketch for challenge over at Pixel Maven's Retreat blog ..... this is card sketch #14.  For this card I used an embossing folder for the background instead of just a plain layer or pattern paper.  But again I took artistic license by using dies to kinda make a circle which was one of the options for the sketch.

thanks for stopping by.  please come back again soon.

stamps used:  Catherine Pooler stamps/dies

I'm still trying my hand at card sketches.  This one is for a challenge over at Pixel Maven's Retreat blog ... this is card sketch #15.  I did take some creative license but I feel it still meets with the sketch in general.
