Impression Obsession Sleigh Scene

Hello, stampers!  Happy Monday to you!  Today’s card share features the Impression Obsession Sleigh Scene Dies.

Impression Obsession Sleigh Scene

I used the Inlay Technique to create the Sleigh Scene on the card.  First I used a few copic sketch markers in blue, lavender, and aqua to color on a piece of white card stock.  I overlapped the colors for a good blend.  Then I die cut the scene from this colored piece, as well as from a piece of white card stock.  I also used the colored paper to cut my sentiment.

After the positive and negative of the Impression Obsession Sleigh Scene die were cut out, I adhered the pieces of colored card stock into the white Sleigh Scene, which is the Inlay Technique process.  I think it turned out great.  I added double sided foam adhesive tape on this piece to adhere it to the front of the card base that I embossed with the Stitches Cover Plate by Ellen.  To add the look of snow, I used the Marvy Uchida Snow Maker to add snow on the card.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving comments!  I hope you have a blessed week!

The birth of Jesus Christ:  “This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about:  His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.  Because Joseph was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to Him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”  Matthew 1:18-21 

ODBD Christmas Candles and Sunburst Background

Today’s Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge CC613 involves a color combination of Stampin’ Up! (SU) Real Red, Crushed Curry, and Garden Green.  For “dessert”, the hostess asked for “Christmas Glow”.  To achieve a “Christmas Glow”, I created a card that features Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Christmas Candles and Sunburst Background Dies for the challenge.

ODBD Christmas Candles and Sunburst Background

These are the colors for the color challenge. I began developing the card using a piece of Neenah Solar White Card Stock to emboss the ODBD Sunburst Background Die.  After embossing the card stock, I laid the die back on the card stock, and using a sponge dauber, I sponged SU Crushed Curry through the die.  I sponged more ink onto the outer sections to made them darker.

After sponging, I die cut a portion of the colored card stock with the ODBD Christmas Candles Dies.  I decided I wanted to use the Inlay Technique to create the candles and holly.  This is a closeup of the result.

To finish the card I added more holly that I die cut with the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens Dies.  Using the Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments Dies, I cut out the Merry Christmas sentiment and added it to the card.

I hope you enjoyed my card and will return for further inspiration!

Jesus said,  “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.  Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there.  And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.  That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”  Matthew 12:43-45

Glittering Glass Santa Digital Stamp

Hello, and thanks for stopping by!  Today my card share features the Power Poppy Glittering Glass Santa Digital Stamp.  I love this image, which was inspired by old fashioned glass ornaments from Germany.  I decided to color the ornament in non-traditional Christmas colors, and I love how it turned out!

I created my card in response to a Splitcoaststamper Sketch Challenge.  This is the sketch.

Because the image is digital, I resized it six times; one for the main image, and five for the #5 pieces of the sketch. I colored all six images with Copic Markers that closely match the SU Pool Party color, the primary color of the card.

After adhering the ribbon, designer series paper pieces, and main image to the card base, I used four different punches to cut Silver Glimmer Paper to mat the five miniature Santa images. I attached these at different levels using foam tape.  This gives the effect of the Russian Nesting Dolls.

Mondo Poinsettia

My card share today features the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Poinsettia Stamp Set. The poinsettia stamp set is gorgeous and it is large.  Therefore, my card is 5″ x 7″.  I created the card in response to a Color Challenge on Splitcoaststampers, as well as a Pin-Sights Challenge at Ellen Hutson LLC Classroom.  As of this posting, the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Poinsettia Stamp Set is unavailable.  However, you can enter your email address on the site and be notified when, and if, it is restocked.

The color combination for the color challenge was Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, and Pool Party.  I used these colors in card stock, but I colored the poinsettia with closely related Copic Sketch Marker colors.  The Ellen Hutson Pin-Sights Challenge involves viewing and being inspired by holiday photos on the site.  One photo, which inspired this card, is of poinsettia garland around a fire place.  The garland and adjacent decorations are beautiful.  The photo is in the top row, third from the left in the below.

For the Mossy Meadow border, I used the Spellbinders Holly Frame Dies to cut out the frame.  This frame is quite intricate and sometimes I experience difficulty getting all the leaves and swirls to cut out.  But the dies are worth it as they create beautiful art.

Thanks for stopping in to see my Mondo Poinsettia card!

Penny Black Let’s Chill

Has the weather changed to cooler or cold temperatures in your area?  Many people on social media are welcoming colder weather and snow.  I live in Florida and I mostly have sunny weather.  Thinking about colder weather, I made a card that will give you a chill as it is a cold, wintry scene.  The main feature on the card is the Penny Black Let’s Chill stamp image.

penny-black-lets-chill_1

Isn’t she cute all dressed up in her best winter coat, hat, scarf, and boots?  I think so. The wind is blowing, snow is falling, and temperature is chilly.  But she is warmly wrapped and enjoying the snow along with her little friend sitting on the snowy branch, the red cardinal.

I submitted this card for three Splitcoaststampers challenges:

1.  CC611 – Color Challenge using Real Red, Wild Wasabi, and Very Vanilla,
2.  F4A354 – Free for All Challenge to create with Snow, and
3.  MIX201 – Mix-Ability Challenge, Anything Goes.

For the Color Challenge, my beautiful little girl is wearing red and green, and she is standing beneath a Very Vanilla snowy tree branch that is holding my favorite bird – a cardinal.  She also is standing in mounds of snow, which is for the Free for All Challenge, and it is pouring down snow.  I made the card with die cuts, alcohol inks, Stickles, and Liquid Appliqué for the Mix-Ability Challenge.

Tim Holtz Mixed Media Christmas Dies

Christmas is rapidly approaching, and I am enjoying making Christmas cards.  I think Christmas cards are my favorite to make!  My card share is a Christmas card that features the Tim Holtz Mixed Media Christmas Dies.  These dies are corner dies, and I love them.

holly-and-poinsettias_1

The poinsettias on the bottom right of the card were created with one of the Tim Holtz Mixed Media Christmas Dies.  I used the Inlay Technique to create that corner.  But first, I embossed a piece of white card stock with the Stampin’ Up! Falling Snow Embossing Folder.  Then I cut out the corner of the embossed white card stock with the Tim Holtz’s poinsettias die.  I removed the pieces from the white card stock and adhered two 2.5″ pieces of a very strong adhesive to the back of the piece of card stock where the cut out is located.

Using the same die and pieces of Stampin’ Up! Real Red and Always Artichoke card stock, I cut out the poinsettias’ petals and holly leaves and berries.  Trying to keep the cut out pieces within the die with both the red and green card stock, I laid them over the cut out section on the white card stock, matching them exactly.  Then I used a Paper-Piercing Tool to push each piece onto the white card stock, thus creating an inlay.

The holly and berries were made with the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens dies and adhered to the top left corner of the card.  The Merry Christmas sentiment in the center at an angle is from the Catherine Pooler Hip Holiday Stamp Set which is currently unavailable.
