Smoky Slate and Basic Gray Wonderful Blessings Christmas cards

Hi Everyone,

How is your weekend going?  I have been so busy making Christmas cards lately,  Here is another one I made using the Wonderful Blessings single stamp when I had it out a couple of weeks ago plus a pics with another I already featured previously on my blog.  I do love the colour combinations and how you can sponge them for different looks using the Resist technique.


So the cardstock here was Basic Gray for the base and Smoky Slate for the background layer embossed with the Lucky Stars embossing folder.  Whisper White was used for the Resist technique with clear embossing powder stamped in Versamark and heat set.  The image was then cut with the Circle collection framelits and sponged with several inks including Smoky Slate, Wisteria wonder and Tip top Taupe.  Wisteria, Basic Gray and Dazzling diamonds glimmer were added as banners.



Rhinestones were added to the top of this card to balance it out.  Here is the full pic below.




When I was making this card, I also made the one beside it turning it into more of a ornament look by adding the silver cord loop to the top.  More details for this one are on an earlier post.




Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card.

Light up your Christmas

Hi Everyone, You all know how I love my Easel Cards right?  Well I've added a little light to them in the form of the little battery operated candles.  Neil bought me some boxes of them online.  I've been playing around with a couple of different designs which are for an upcoming class of very Special Christmas cards with my group but thought you might like to see them.  This is the first one I've done using the retired stamp set Christmas Lodge.  It's a gorgeous set with this beautiful tree and really suits a vintage style Christmas Card.  I've also used the Deco Label Framelits which are fast becoming a favourite and the Beautifully Baroque and Fancy Fan Embossing Folders. The Cardstock is Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. I have the light on so you can see the gorgeous effect from the little candle.  Here is a photo when it's off. This is how it looks from the side.  It's like a tent.  Extra card was added to the len
