Painted Harvest Christmas

Hello, thanks for stopping by.  My share for you today is a Christmas card made primarily with a non-Christmas stamp set.  Painted Harvest is wonderful and is so easy to use.  My card base is Thick Whisper White followed by a layer of Real Red embossed with the Holly embossing folder.  A strip of Quilted Christmas dsp (design series paper) is the next layer up and then a square of the same paper stack, just a different print.  I used the largest square from the Stitched Shapes framelits to cut a piece of Whisper White and stamped the full image of the wreath with Lemon Lime Twist and the detailed image in Garden Green.  I then stamped another layer of Lemon Lime Twist with the full image again, turning the stamp to add some more texture to the wreath.  I saw Patty Bennett do this and think it adds so much to the stamped image.  I added some holly berries with Real Red ink.  The bow for the wreath is stamped with Real Red ink on Real Red cardstock using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and then cut with the Bouquet Bunch Framelits.  My greeting comes from Star of Light and then cut with the Bunch of Banners framelits.

For the inside of the card I stamped another wreath, the same as I did on the front.  I added a couple of strips of dsp cut into banners along with a sentiment from Hang Your Stocking.

Measurements are as follows:

Thick Whisper White: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 2 3/4 x 2 3/4, 3 x 3/4

Real Red: 4 x 5 1/4, plus scrap for bow

DSP: 4 1/4 x 2, 3 x3, 2 x 3/4, 1 5/8 x 1/2

Garden Green: 3 1/4 x 1

Country Livin'

Country Livin' with the new Stampin' Blends

Hello, and welcome to my blog.  My share for you today is a card I made for a co-worker's birthday.  I knew I wanted to use the boots from Country Livin' and the Stampin' Blends markers.  I stamped the boots with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and then cut them out with the 2nd largest Stitched Shape Framelit circle.  For the coloring, I used both light and dark markers of Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate and Pool Party.  I started out with the light Crumb Cake and colored one entire boot. I went in with the dark marker and went over the shading lines on the stamped image.  I did this a couple of times until I was happy with the color and then did the same thing on the other boot.  I colored the accents in Bermuda Bay and the soles of the boots in Smoky Slate.  I then used the Pool Party under the boots to ground them.  This piece was then layered onto a Crumb Cake circle cut with the 2nd largest Layering Circles Framelits and then layered onto a Bermuda Bay scallop circle cut with the largest scallop from the layering circles.  The card base is Bermuda Bay with a layer of Crumb Cake.  Before adhering the Crumb Cake layer I used the brick mask from the Pattern Party masks and applied a layer of embossing paste.  After that dried, I ran the Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze ink pads over it and then adhered it to the card base.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched with the classic label punch.  To finish it off I added 2 pieces of burlap ribbon and a little piece of the copper trim.  Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!
