Merry Moments from 2006!

December 23, 2012 in

At the Stampin' Up! Regional in Hamilton, Ontario back in August we were given the Merry Moments Simply Scrappin' kit for free! The "stamped" images you see (the circle medallions and the Basic Grey and Vanilla strip) are all card stock stickers. To create the medallions I layered a few of the card stock stickers on top of each other and then place a Rhinestone Jewel in the middle! Easy Peasy. I've always had a hard time making titles for my scrapbook pages, so instead I just used our names. I typed them up in My Digital Studio using Basic Grey for the text and then printed them at home onto Cherry Cobbler card stock. Finished off the titles with a square punch to make the banner end.

Supplies
Stamps: none
Ink: Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, the names were printed in Basic Grey using My Digital Studio on my home printer
Paper: Merry Moments Simply Scrappin': Old Olive, Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals, 1-3/8" Square Punch, Rhinestones

Merry Christmas!

Sparkle and Snow!

December 22, 2012 in ,
Still dealing with that Colorado low that has swept across Ontario since Thursday! I'm glad most of the snow fell north of us, but I was on the road north of Belleville this afternoon and the roads were slippery! Thank goodness my father was driving and not me. We came across 2 different accident sites, grateful none were fatalities. I do hope a little more snow falls over night and that it stays. It's great to have snow at Christmas to make it more festive - just as long as the roads are safe for everyone travelling (like me!).

Today's card has some great sparkle! The Silver Glimmer Paper definitely adds pizzazz to any card, you'll have to check back next month when I can share a birthday card I added a little of the Silver Glimmer Paper to.

Paper: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Silver Glimmer Paper, Whisper White

Fab Friday 08

December 20, 2012 in ,

It's a very interesting colour combination over at Fab Friday:
When I spied this colour combo I was still trying to finish up my Christmas cards! I wasn't sure if these colours would work for me, but I took a bunch of scraps and the way they fell onto the table together inspired this card! For the triple coloured card base I started with a piece of plain printer paper cut to 5.5" x 4.25" and they layered the 3 stripes on top of the plain paper. They run the piece through the Big Shot to create the texture.

Christmas Lodge

December 19, 2012 in , ,
Today's card was one I entered to Stampin' Up! for a contest and it didn't win so I thought I would share it with you! For the main image of this card I first embossed both the image and the sentiment in Early Esspresso before using the Big Shot and Labels framelit die to cut out the image. Framelits are great because you can see what part you are cutting out - but always stamp first then cut!

Accessories: Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch, Simply Scored, Early Espresso Embossing Powder, Big Shot, Labels Framelits, Woodgrain Textured Embossing Folder
