Evergreen

I enjoyed making this card even though there was a lot of cutting.  It's a different take from the usual card with a tree on it.

Each tree was stamped with Versa Mark on Cherry Cobbler card stock and embossed with White embossing powder.  Each trees were then cut out.  The two trees on the edges were attached directly to the DSP; the one in the middle was attached using dimensionals.
The sentiment was also embossed with White embossing powder on Cherry Cobbler cardstock, and die cut using the Project Life framelits.
Here I use a couple of Champagne stars from my stash.  I have a small container just for small glimmer stars.  Instead of throwing away small pieces of champagne glimmer paper, or paper left over after die cutting, I use the small star punch and punch as many stars as I can from the remnants.  I do the same for the silver glimmer paper.

Evergreen Noel - The Friday Mashup 120

Well, it's Christmas in July at the Friday Mashup here and that suits me just fine as I have already started making my Christmas cards. Not only is the challenge to make a Christmas card, but to use stripes as well.

Technique: I used the 2 step stamping method and the stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the Christmas tree.  Then I added dazzling diamonds.
The image was die cut using the ovals framelits and backed with an Old Olive Apothecary label die cut.  The oval die cut was pricked using a pattern, mat pack and paper piercer.

Shimmer Evergreen - Try Stampin' on Tuesday 89

It's been a treat to sit down in my craft room and just create!  This morning it's cards, but this afternoon I have to get back to work getting ready for another craft show.
This card is for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday here

 

 

Technique:  

The image was stamped first with Early Espresso ink, and then with Champagne shimmer paint.  The image panel was matted with Champagne glitter paper, and adhered to the DSP using dimensionals.

The sentment was gold embossed on a vellum banner.

Evergreen Peace on Earth - Technostamper #242

Just got back from seeing the Optometrist who put drops in my eyes, and as a result my vision is a bit blurry.  I hope my card isn't blurry, because I really can't tell.
This card is for the Technostamper challenge here

 

As you can see, I took the liberty of turning the sketch onto its side.

Technique:

The image was first stamped in Gumball Green and then double stamped with Black Stazon onto a Whisper White oval die cut using the Ovals die #2.  Some stars were stamped around it using Summer Starfruit ink.  Some dazzling diamonds were applied to the tree and the stars, and the oval was sponged with Gumball Green ink.

The base of the card is Real Red, layered with  polka dot embossed Whisper White cardstock sponged with Early Espresso.

The 2 panels behind the image are Early Espresso Core-dination cardstock embossed with the woodgrain folder.

Stamps: Evergreen, Greetings of the season

Inks: Gumball Green, Black Stazon, Early Espresso, Summer Starfruit

Evergreen Christmas - Unscripted Sketches #167

This was a difficult challenge for me, and I wasn't 100% true to the sketch at Unscripted Sketches 167 here

 

The tree was embossed with Wild Wasabi embossing powder and colored with a Gumball green marker and a blender pen. Dazzling diamonds on the tree make the snow effect.

I didn't have room to put the 3 stars in a row so I put them in 2 layers.

Stamp: Evergreen

Inks: Versa Mark, Early Espresso, Gumball green marker

Papers: Real red, Very Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas designer paper,

Accessories: Stars die, 1/4" Real Red grosgrain ribbon, dazzling diamonds, blender pen, dimensionals, Wild Wasabi embossing powder
