Happy Sunday! Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for December hosted by Sara Levin. This month, we’re doing things a little different! All the designers are getting “sketchy” by creating projects based on the sketch below! How fun!!!
Peaceful Cabin Card:
I’m working on my last few Christmas cards today for my nephews. This first one is perfect for the eldest who grew up in the mountain town of Mammoth Lakes. I used the Peaceful Cabin Bundle.
This card was so easy to make … I only stamped the sentiment. The circles were cut from Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper and either colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers or a Blending Brush. That paper is so pretty, it doesn’t need much else. 🙂
I decided to flip the sketch upside down for this card, so I could see the tops of the trees from the dry embossed Evergreen Forest background.
For the sentiment, I stamped and embossed it with different colors to emphasize the word “Peace” and allow that beautiful dry embossed background to peek through.
Final touches were some trees cut from a Snowy White Velvet Sheet, a few Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels and a little loop of Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
Sweet Little Stockings Card:
My next card features the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle and Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper. It’s for the middle nephew and his wife who have a dog and two cats. I think they’ll both appreciate these adorable images.
Again, there was very little stamping involved. I simply cut out the images from the adorable Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper and layered them over die-cut circles from the same paper pack. Then, I used a Blending Brush to add an ombre design behind the kitty with some Pool Party ink.
I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed it in gold on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a little trick to punch it out with the Label Me Fancy Punch. The punch was slightly too narrow to fit the entire sentiment, so to solve the problem, I trimmed the sentiment down to a narrow strip and then fed the sides through the back of the punch and punched the ends individually right where I wanted them.
I placed all my layers over a dry embossed background created with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.
Final touches were some Decorative Matte Dots and Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
