Holiday Mini Card - Delightful Decorations

I am loving the products in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Starting tomorrow, September 1st you can order from the new mini through January 4, 2010. I will post a link in the side bar to the mini tomorrow. I had the chance to preorder some of the products and am sharing a card I made with a set in the Holiday Mini catalog named Delightful Decorations. The ornament was punched with a new punch named Ornament. How simple and easy to do!

I heat embossed two ornaments using Taken with Teal craft ink and clear embossing powder. I used the new Ornament punch to punch one out. I punched the 1/4 inch circle out of the other. Another ornament was embossed with white embossing powder and punched with a 1 inch circle punch. I layered the ornament together using Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig, I heat embossed the Merry Christmas stamp from Teeny Tiny stamp set using White embossing powder.

So Saffron, Whisper White card stock and Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper were used. The ribbon is 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon. On the inside I used the leftover portion from the white embossed ornament and added a 1 inch circle of a

stamp in the set to fill in the center of the ornament. I glued a strip of the Designer Series Paper to the bottom inside. I like decorating the inside. I will add a sentiment later. What do you think? Hope you have a wonderful, creative day.

Stampin Up! Lattice Die and Simple Flower Embosslit

I love Old Olive and adding Chocolate Chip as the neutral color worked perfectly with this card. The Lattice die is cut out of Bermuda Bay card stock, one of the new In Colors. I think Bermuda Bay is my favorite of the new In Colors. I heat embossed the sentiments from Warm Words with Detail White embossing powder. The button is from the Playground Designer Buttons. I tied a little crochet thread through the button. The Chocolate Chip flower brad is from Designer Brads Flower Assortment. Isn't it cute? The sketch for the card came from Stampin' 411 blog. I missed the deadline for uploading this one. :-( Have a wonderful day! Happy Stampin'!

Stampin' Up! Lattice Die

Hello all,

Loving the Sizzix Bigz Lattice Die! I haven't been able to stamp and post to my blog lately. My mom had major neck surgery and I was taking care of her. Last week I accompanied my husband on a business trip to Lynchburg, Virginia on Monday, came home to NC on Tuesday night, went to SC on Wednesday morning, and back to NC on Thursday evening. Whew! Anyway I haven't had a lot of time to make any cards, blog hop, or much of anything. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for my husband's job, just explaining where I have been.

This card uses one of Stampin' Up!'s 2009/10 In Colors. I love Bermuda Bay and I think it works wonderfully with Basic Grey.

This is an easy card. Just ran the Whisper White through the Big Shot and glued it to the Basic Gray piece. I stamped three of the Circus Circles stamps with Bermuda Bay on

Whisper White. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the circle. Using Stampin' Up! circle punches, I layered the stamped pieces on top of a circle of Bermuda Bay. I used the Scallop Oval Punch to punch a piece of Basic Gray. The oval punches are wonderful to frame sentiments. I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment stamping in Bermuda Bay. The ribbon is Organza White from Stampin' Up! I don't normally think of gray as a birthday color, but I thought it made a good neutral for Bermuda Bay. Hope you have a great day and a better tomorrow! Go and create something if you have the time.
