Scattered

The title of this post seems appropriate, given that it is Monday.  I always find myself a wee bit scattered on Monday morning until I get back in the swing of things after the weekend. Today I have a holiday card featuring the Seasonally Scattered stamp set:

Christmas card featuring the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.

I had originally designed this one for my upcoming Holiday Headstart card buffet, but then realized that I didn't have enough supplies on hand to make it work!  That's ok...I'll save it for another holiday class later in the season, once I replenish my supplies.  To get the frosted look on this one I heat embossed the image in Irridescent Ice on a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock.  Then I sponged the entire thing in Whisper White craft ink, leaving the embossed areas a darker shade and making the image really pop. 

I added a little strip of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper that I punched with the Scallop Edge Border punch to add some sparkle along the bottom edge of the focal panel.    I added some Whisper White organza ribbon and a few little snowflakes from the Frosted Sequins pack, and couldn't resist adding a rhinestone to the centre of each one...just a wee bit of bling ;)  The Smokey Slate background is embossed using the Northern Flurry TIEF and is also sponged with Whisper White craft ink.  It is all mounted on a Whisper White card base.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Bliss photopolymer set, as well as some little snowflakes from the Project Life Holiday Cheer set.
Thanks for stopping by...here's hoping your Monday is extra-ordinary and your week is spectacular!

Project Life Card Take Two!

As promised, I have another card I created using the oh, so versatile Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set.  This one is a Christmas card I will be featuring at my upcoming Holiday Head-start card buffet.  Check it out...

Holiday card featuring the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set

This one is SO simple, but really fun!  I used several images and the sentiment from the Project Life Holiday Cheer set, punching each one out with the 1" square punch.  I layered each on a Garden Green postage stamp.  The background is embossed using the Argyle TIEF.  

The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched with the 1-3/8" circle.  I added the little banner in Garden Green that I fussy cut and popped up using a trimmed dimensional.  I layered the sentiment on a Bracket Label punched from silver glimmer paper.  The whole thing is on a Cherry Cobbler card base.  Easy and quick...perfect for mass-producing at a card buffet!

Project Life Cards

Last night I held my monthly team meeting and at it I wanted to show how versatile our line of Project Life products are.  We all know how fabulous they are for memory keeping, but they are also pretty terrific for making cards as well!  Here is one of the projects we made last night, inspired by a card I found on Pinterest by Erica Cerwin:

Thank you card featuring the Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set and Colour Me Autumn DSP

This card came together so easily!  I began with a Project Life 4"x 3" Grid Card.  I stamped the sentiment from the Project Life Holiday Cheer photopolymer set in Mossy Meadow ink.  Then I stamped the little maple leaf in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Blackberry Bliss inks.  I added a strip of Colour Me Autumn DSP along the left edge and added some Linen Thread and a little leaf from the Autumn Wodden Elements. 

The background panel is another piece of Colour Me Autumn DSP that I embossed using the Honeycomb TIEF and layered on a Mossy Meadow card base.  I also added bit of burlap ribbon for more texture.  So quick and easy!

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from For All Things, using my Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow markers to ink the stamp.  I added a few more stamped leaves to complete the project.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a Christmas project using this same Project Life stamp set!
