Ornament Keepsake Merry Christmas - Try Stampin' on Tuesday

I'm hiding down the basement as it's hot and humid outside.  The temperature feels like it's 40 degrees (C) - a bit of a shock after all the cool weather we've been having.  Doesn't make one feel like making Christmas cards, but that is what I'm doing.

This card is for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday here

Technique: The ornament was stamped 3 times using Cherry Cobbler ink onto Whisper White card stock.  They were die cut using the Holiday Ornaments framelits.  Each ornament was folded in half with the pattern to the inside.  Then the halves were glued together to create this 3D ornament that lies flat for mailing.
I stamped 3 smaller ornaments on the background, by stamping off prior to stamping on the image panel.

Stamps: Ornament Keepsake, Christmas Greetings
Inks: Cherry Cobbler
Papers: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Season of Style DSP
Accessories: Holiday Ornaments framelits, 3/8" white taffeta ribbon, 1/8" silver taffeta ribbon, dazzling diamonds, white Baker's twine, dimensionals.

The Bells of Christmas - The Paper Players #110

The temperature has sure cooled down.  Last night I had to put on a jacket while I was outside.  I know there are still hot days ahead, but the nights are cool - great for sleeping.
Market is finished for me, but I have many craft shows booked up until Dec. 3 - so I need a lot of Christmas cards.
This card was made for the challenge with The Paper Players here

 

Technique: 

Image:  The image was stamped with Black Stazon on Whisper White card stock, and colored with SU watercolor pencils, blending with odorless paint thinner.  Crystal Effects was applied to the bells and the berries.

The Holiday Ornament framelits was used to die cut the image, and the edges sponged with Real Red ink.

Using dimensionals the ornament shaped image was applied to a Whisper White panel embossed with the Square lattice embossing folder.  I then placed a bow of Cherry cobbler baker's twine at the neck of the ornament.

Sentiment: Stamped with Basic Black, and die cut using the Labels framelits and applied to the lower end of the image panel.  A rhinestone completed the image panel.
