Stampin' Up! Bigz XL Die O Christmas Tree

I decided to make an ornament of out this. I used all Stampin' Up! products. Shimmery and Real Red card stock, Bead Duo Red, Crystal Effects, Silver Cord, Scallop Circle #2 die. I will be back later to visit everyone! Have a great Stampin' day!

Ornament

This is quick and easy and I got the idea from:

Cardstock I used Bravo Burgundy, Handsome Hunter

Guess what

I have completed a couple more cards that are not Christmas!!! I know you simply can not believe it but it is true ;-)

I hope you like them. These are using the Printed Window Sheets Clearly Thanks from Stampin' Up! that I have had and just not gotten around to using. I really needed a few Thinking of you cards to mail and decided to try these sheets. The card stock is Naturals White for the base card and Bermuda Bay for the background of the window sheet. I stamped the saying that is in the new Hostess set Kind and Caring Thoughts in Basic Black directly on the Bermuda Bay. Quick and easy but I think they look pretty good. I have another one in the works that I might be able to get uploaded later today. Have a wonderful stampin' day!

Great give a way!

What an awesome give-a-way I have just seen. You need to hurry over to http://keepsakesbymelissa.blogspot.com/
and see what she has for some lucky person. You only have until the end of this month so hurry!

Christmas time.....

Well, at least the second card is Christmas. The top card is that new In Color from Stampin' Up! Melon Mambo and it is stamped on Shimmery cardstock that has been run through the Big Shot using the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder. I love the look of that folder on that cardstock. I will get back with you on the stamp set as it slips my mind right now.

Now that Christmas card is all completed in Black, white and gold. It is the Stampin' Up! set Holy Family that will be available the 1st of September. I used a set of my Nesties for the layers and edged them each with a gold leafing pen. Also used the new Modern Label punch for the greeting and that greeting is a new one coming out on the 1st also. The set is Four the Holidays and I masked this stamp and only used Peace - the full stamp is Peace on Earth.

Hope to be back again soon. I'm also getting around and visiting everyone.

Delightful Decorations again......

This one is easy. I Embossed the ornament stamping it first with VersaMark then with Night of Navy Ink and used clear embossing powder. That new Ornament Punch from Stampin' Up! fits this set and then I used my gold leafing pen to outline it. I know the Navy organdy ribbon is retired from Stampin' Up! but just had to use it for this. The Merry Christmas comes from the set A Cardinal Christmas then punched with the new Modern Label punch then mounted on a piece of Night of Navy that I had cut from the Ovals Die. The Shimmery card stock background was embossed with the Petals-A- Plenty folder. All products Stampin' Up!
