Sparkly Winter Woods and Beautiful Boughs for Beautiful Holiday cards

  • Stampin' Up! Winter Woods
  • Beautiful Boughs Dies
  • Buffalo Checks for backgrounds

Sparkly Winter Woods with Beautiful Boughs

Today I pulled out Winter Woods again and paired it with Beautiful Boughs Dies in Gold Foil accents.  The background uses the Buffalo Check Background stamp.  I love that with this Background stamp I can create whatever color I need for my project without using Designer Series Paper.  The Gold foil accents, embossed Winter woods Tress, covered with Ice Stampin' Glitter sets just the right wintry feel for this time of year.              
  




The basecard is Thick Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then a layer of Soft Suede, then a layer of Very Vanilla stamped with the Buffalo Check Background stamp and Crumb Cake ink.   





To create the layer with the trees, I used a piece of Soft Suede, matted with Very Vanilla.  I used Sparkle Glimmer Paper to create a blanket of snow at the bottom of the trees.  The trees from Winter Woods Stamp Set were stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated with the Heat Tool until set.  Then I used glue and Ice Stampin' Glitter to add more shine and sparkle to the trees.

I  used dies from Detailed Deer and from Beautiful Boughs and cut elements from Gold Foil sheets to accent the sentiments and the top corner of the card.   



  
The sentiments are from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set, and the other from Country Home.  Both are stamped in Soft Suede ink on Whisper White backgrounds  The "So grateful..." sentiment is die cut using the labels from Frosted Bouquet.  The "Thinking of you..." sentiment is punched using the punch from the Darling Label Punch Box.  I hand cut the coordinating mat.

Plan your weekend now to stamp cards you know you'll need for the upcoming holidays.  Place your orders soon so you have the supplies you need to create beautiful handmade cards for those you love.  Add the Winter Woods stamp set and the Buffalo Checks Background Stamp to our supplies, along with Gold Foil Paper.  This is a great card to use for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, depending on the sentiment you choose.    You'll love everything you make with with these stamp sets.

Scrapbooking Page with Country Home Stamp Set

  • Stampin' Up! Country Home Stamp Set
  • Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder
  • Good Bye Christmas Card Classes

Country Home Stamp Set for Scrapbooking pages

Thinking ahead to the photos I'll take over Thanksgiving, I decided to start some scrapbooking pages to save my holiday memories.  I started with an several similar ideas from Pinterest using the Country Home Stamp Set, and then personalized it with elements I wanted to include using several different sets of dies.          
  





I started with an 8" X 8" piece of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock as the base for my page.  I used Crumb Cake Cardstock to mat each of my visual elements.   I used the Country Home Stamp Set to create the image on the left side of the page.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Blends alcohol markers.  




The  large block on the right side uses a piece of Blackberry Bliss from the Regals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper pack.  Then a piece of Silver Foil Sheets dry embossed with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder.   The leaf die cuts are Blackberry Bliss die cuts from the Seasonal Layers Dies.  A sentiment from the Country Home Stamp Set is stamped onto a Whisper White Stitched Nested Labels Die Cut.              

  



The bottom left image are die cuts from the Detailed Peacock Dies and tied with a Braided Linen Trim bow.  Next to the died flowers die cuts are embossed leaves from the Gathered Leaves Dies.  I inked the dies before die cutting/embossing the leaves.  

The Pine cones in the right lower corner and the branch are from the Beautiful Boughs Dies.  The pine cones are Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.  The Branch is Shaded Spruce.         

    





    


Next,  I'll make a matching page with a Blackberry Bliss base and Crumb Cake mats for my Thanksgiving photos, and I'll add sentiments to match my photos.  I love getting ahead of my needs.  It makes it so much easier to frame the photos I want to take over the Holidays and I'll have these memories for a lifetime.  You'll love creating your own holiday memories with the wide variety of stamps, embossing folders, and coordinating dies available in the Stampin' Up! catalogs.  

Watch for the upcoming Stampin' Up! Online Extravaganza November 20-22,1029, and pick up the items you need to make your Holiday Scrap Book Pages. You'll love everything you make with these coordinating Holiday products.

Say Good Bye To Christmas Card Classes

  
These two classes will be my final two Christmas Card classes.  With the busy Holidays approaching, there are many activities competing for my time.  I'm hoping to get one or two classes in during December, where I'm hoping to highlight New Year's cards and Holiday crafts.  As a Stampin' Up! demonstrators, we're already looking forward to 2020 and the fun, new stamp sets we'll have for the rest of Winter, including Valentines Day, and then our Spring sets and new catalog.  We need to create our samples so you have enough time to see these new Stamps and coordinating products when the new year arrives.  You're likely to begin seeing sneak peeks from the new catalogs within the next couple of weeks! 

Join one these upcoming classes, to finish out your holiday card-making needs.
