Hidden Forest Stamping: Sending Sweet Thoughts Card

Sending Sweet Thoughts Card

I know it is a littlle early for Valentines; but, I tired a challenge #131 in Stamping 411 with the Operators this week andI just decided to go with this theme.  It is the next big celebrated holiday!!! 

All I used was SU Regal Rose, Whisper White, and Pretty in Pink cardstock.  Then stamped in Real Red the small Love heart in the new I {Heart} Hearts Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog that goes on sale January 5th. Using 3/4" Circle Punch, tying this to 1/2" Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Striped Ribbon with the Linen thread.  I then used Chocolate Chip Ink and the Wandering Words Stamp Set from the Holiday Mini Catalog (this stamp will no longer be available after January 4th).  Again, using the I {Heart} Hearts Set I stamped 2 small hearts punching them out with SU new Small Heart Punch (also in the Occasions Mini), glued them over the one of the larger hearts that I cut out after stamping with Craft White Ink gluing to corner.

I hope you enjoy and Happy Stamping, Lynette                 
 

Two More Last Minute Christmas Cards

I know Christmas is Friday, but sometimes your best ideas come to you while you are sleeping!!!  This is one.  Who would think black & pink for Christmas cards?  Elegant colors together. Two simple, last minute cards to make using just 3 paper colors, 2 one stamp sets, & 2 ink colors.

All were made from SU Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, & Pixie Pink cardstock, SU Basic Black & Pixie Pink Classic Ink.

The Merry Christmas card used the punch out part form the Joy card below layerd over the Basic Black, I took a strip of Pretty in Pink & glued to the back of the black for contrast, then using the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set & the Four the Holidays Stamp Set (which both are in the Holiday Mini & no longer available after Jan. 4th) inked in Basic Black.  Tearing the edge for texture.

The Joy card has Pixie Pink as the base, using the Eyelet Punch all around the Black layer, then using Pretty in Pink I again used the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set stamping in Basci black on Pixie Pink cardstock then using the Ornament Punch (Holiday Mini) adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals, using the Paper Piecring Tool & Mat Pack made the string.  Before I glued this to the Black layer I used the Horizontal Punch on the edges so the the ribbon (which I already had) would fit.

I made the Joy card first & then scraps (save our scraps my Stampers because you never know what might come out of them) to make the Merry Christmas card.

So to all my stampers, Merry Christmas & Happy Stamping, Lynette

Bundle of Joy

Well, Christmas is upon us so I won't be posting as much until after the first of the year.  But I had to show you this little card I mad for my niece's baby shower.

The second picture is the inside where I used SU Wisper White cardstock, Eyelet Punch, Tea Party Designer Paper, Teddy and Train Stamp Set, and Bermuda Blue Classic Ink.

This first is the outside of the card.  I used SU Certain Celery, Whisper White, and Apricot Appeal Cardstock, Eyelet Punch, Teddy and Train Stamp Set, Certain Celery 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Classic Black Ink, So Saffron and Brilliant Blue Stampin' Pastels.  You can't see it too good in the picture, but on the teddy bear I took the So Saffron Pastel scraped a little into a jar (this will not hurt your pastel chalk), dropped a little of Stampin' Crystal Effects and then used SU Aqua Painter to put a little water in this, stirred together and brushed in the body of the bear using one of the applicators in the Pastels.  When dried it gives a shimmery effect.  If I don't post again, Merry Christmas and Happy Stamping, Lynette
