Christmas Night Gazebo

Posted on December 8, 2015 10:16 AM by Julie Comment

Today’s Color Challenge (CC560 ) on Splitcoast is navy & lt blue. I love navy & white for Christmas/winter cards & adding a little lt blue seemed perfect.

This was a fairly simple card..a little white embossing of the greeting & snowflakes on the navy background, a little dry embossed snow hill, an into the window gazebo w/ a couple of lamp posts and some more white embossing on the bottom of the frame. Nothing too hard or time consuming. I really like the look of white embossing on navy…to me it just looks sharp & clean. I also added a little tree inside the gazebo from the Christmas Village 4 in 1 & added some red ornament dots on it. The white frame is elevated just a bit from the lt blue layer.

Joy Christmas Stocking

The Ways to Use It Challenge (WT560) has us putting a Christmas sock on our project. So I have a Christmas stocking w/ a button & bow topper.

I fussy cut a stocking shape & stamped it w/ one band of a woven plaid image then used a red Micron pen to add the borders on each band. A polka dot stamp & white pigment ink were used on the red topper, heel & toe. The woodgrain background was stamped onto a lt kraft using Memento desert sand. I added the ribbon & button and a couple of Candi dots to balance out the empty corner & I used a stitched rectangle on the white card front.

Stamps: DRS Designs- Wood Grain Bg, Woven Plaid, Polka Dot Bg, Joy to You Greeting

Serendipity SSCB#49- Christmas or Holiday

Posted on November 11, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 3 Comments

Welcome to the November Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is to make a Christmas or Holiday card! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We have something new…a “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image will be 50% off. This month- it’s the Skating Snowman. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps & sale stamps!And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Isn’t this Christmas Tree Farm image wonderful? After putting it in my Misti and stamping it w/ Memento, I colored it w/ Copics then over stamped using Versafine. It was die cut & I added a kraft colored mat & some stickles. I also stamped, colored, over stamped & fussy cut 3 trees from the Winter Farm image & added them in the lower right corner. After adding a couple more layers, the Merry Christmas was stamped underneath the image. I had a leftover strip of green houndstooth dp that I thought fit right in, so it was attached down the left side. The large Pretty Bow (available at Serendipity Stamps!) was die cut & embossed w/ a dot folder before attaching & I added a holly brad in the bow center.

Here’s a look at the inside (using the small bow) & below it are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps –Christmas Tree Farm, Merry Christmas, Winter Farm, (inside – Have Yourself)

Paper: X-Press It white, kraft, red, dp (Pebbles – Welcome Christmas)
