No more Christmas Cards

Is anyone but me getting sick of Christmas Cards? It seems like I've been designing Christmas Cards since July. Oh wait, that's because I have. I have decided to retire my Christmas stamps for the season now. There were a few more Christmas Cards that I did not get around to sharing, but I'll spare you those this year.  On with other fun cards now!

The card I have for you today is a birthday card that uses On a Pedestal. It was kind of putsy putting together because of all the coloring and cutting out, but I like how it turned out.  The top note is actually one stamp that I colored and stamped repeditively using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.  This is the first time that I purposed pulled it out to help with the creation of a card. Colors used were Pixie Pink, Certainly Celery, and Apricot Appeal. I also used Dazzling Diamonds and the Top Note Die.

Another Quick Sample

Here is a quick card that I made that shows another use for the ornament punch. This is not an original idea, but rather my take on it. I also used Pocket Sillouettes and Teeny Tiny Wishes. Colors are Night of Navy and Whipser White. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Share

I'm back (for now). Sorry it's been a while, but life has happened and I'm not sure where the time goes. Anyways, here is a quick Christmas Card share using Serene Snowflakes. Colors are Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, and Whisper White.

Medallion Sample

Today I'm taking a break from the Stamp A Stack samples because I think I'm going to redesign of the cards that I made on Monday before I share it with you.

Here is a sample I made using the Medallion stamp, Stampin' Up!'s most popular stamp. I used a technique that as many names, none of which I can remember right now, but basically what I did was stamp the image on DSP in Versamark and then embossed it with clear embossing power. I then used my brayer and inked over the entire piece of paper and where the image was embossed, the DSP shows through. The colors used were Pale Plum and Rich Razzleberry.

Another Stamp A Stack Option

Sorry it took me so long to get this up. My photographer was sick and didn't have time to get me the pictures last week. Yes, I know I could have taken the pictures myself, but I was too lazy. That's why I have a photographer :o) Anyways, this was the last of the Stamp A Stack cards I designed a couple of weekends ago, but have no fear because I was at it again last night and will share those later this week.

First, the Christmas card that features Serene Snowflakes, Four the Holidays, Certain Celery, Bashful Blue, and Cameo Coral.

Now, the non Christmas card, which feature Flight of the Butterfly, Inspired by Nature and same colors as above. I did also use by big shot for the circles (Circles #2).

 And as always, the two of them together.

Day 5 of Stamp A Stack Options

Today's layout is a total CASE from the 2009/2010 IBC. The only changes I made was the stamped images so I did not have to clean stamps in between stamping the different images. The stamp set is Holiday Blitz and sentiment from Snow Swirled. The colors used are So Saffron, Rose Red, Old Olive, and Pixie Pink.

The non-holiday card uses the same stamp set and colors.

And finally, the two of them together.

Stamp A Stack Day 4

Today I have two cards with similar layouts but different feels. The Christmas Card uses Lovely As Tree (yes, I finally broke down a purchased this set) and Delightful Decorations. The colors are Rich Razzleberry and Chocolate Chip.

The non-Christmas one use Autumn Days with the same colors, but instead of tiling the squres to look like a window pane, they are four separate stamped images.

And again, here are the two together.
