Sparkle Christmas Card

I worked on this card for quite a while and made several revisions. I am still not sure I am crazy about the result, but I thought I'd post it any way. This is for the Sketch on the Techno Stamper Blog. It is fun to try and come up with original ideas. Good exercise for the brain.

Inks: Real Red, Soft Suede, Gold Encore

Stamps, Serene Snow Flakes, Simple Snowflake, Warm Words

Accessories: Gold Emboss Powder, Gold Brad, Snowflake Punch, 3/4" & 1" circle punches, small oval punch, Dimensionals, glue dots, 1/2' red stitched white gros grain ribbon, round scallop punch.

Simply Scrappin' Christmas Card

Hi, for today's Monday Lunchtime Challenge I decided to use the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit. Over the weekend I used my kit to design a stamp-a-stack class for later this month. There were a lot of elements left over, so I used some of them for this challenge. It was pretty easy, no stamping, just cut and paste. I love making cards with the SS Kits. You can get so many cards out of one, by just adding a little extra card stock.

Stamps: none

Papers: Old Olive Card Stock, Real Red Card Stock, Chocolate Chip Card Stock

Accessories: Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin' Kit, Sleigh Bells Old Olive Ribbon, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Modern Label Punch.

Sketch 118 for Stamping 411

Top Image: Card Inside

Bottom Image: Card Front

I sat down this morning to create a card for the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #SSC118. My mind has been going to Christmas Card creations lately and I have several new sets that have been waiting for me since before my vacation. We had a great vacation by the way. Cool weather, lots of bicycling and relaxing in Yosemite and on the California Coast.

Anyway back to stamping. I wanted to use "Berry Christmas" out of the Holiday Mini Catalog and the new word set "Many Merry Messages". I have not invested in much Designer paper as of yet, so used all card stock and did some background stamping to create the accents for the card. You can really make a lot of your own contrasting papers in this way, and really make them coordinate well with the rest of the card. I am pleased with how this turned out. I also put some white card stock inside (top image), which I usually do when the base of my card is a darker color card stock. I hope you like my contribution to this challenge.

Stamp Sets: Many Merry Messages, Berry Christmas

Inks: Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry

Papers: Real Red, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Whisper White card stock

Accessories: circle cutter, Mistle Toe Old Olive Ribbon Originals, sponges

Delightful Decorations

One of the best things about Stampin' Up products is the many punches which co-ordinate with their stamp sets. It makes creating impressive cards so much easier. This is another sample of how well these products work together.

Stamp Set: Delightful Decorations, Razzle Dazzle
Inks: Versamark, Old Olive, Dusty Durango
Papers: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Bashful Blue Card Stock
Accessories: Ornament Punch, Dusty Durango Polka Dot Ribbon, Dimensional Adhesive, Silver Elastic Cord
