Keeping Christ in Christmas

Good Afternoon, and Happy Friday! Here today with a look at my card for today's Friends in Faith Instagram Hop...our theme is Keeping Christ in Christmas!

Not only is a decorated tree at Christmas a lovely sight to behold; it also reminds me of the tree that Christ came to earth to die on for our salvation. The very best gift!

My card features Stamp Simply's O Christmas Tree clear stamp and die set. I have always loved this cut Christmas tree image and enjoy using it every year.

The tree is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then Copic Sketch marker colored. After die cutting it with the matching die, I added some chunky glitter and a star on top. It's all layered over a backdrop of Carta Bella Happy Christmas decorator paper. 

The sentiment from the O Christmas Tree set is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, then die cut with Spellbinder Oval dies.

Stamp Simply Vintage Christmas: Product of the Week

Hello! Here with a card made with one of Stamp Simply's Products of the Week: Vintage Christmas Images clear stamps and steel die sets!

The set has four images that have matching dies...perfect to color with Copic Sketch markers! 

I began by stamping the birdhouse image onto cardstock with Memento Tuxedo ink before Copic Sketch marker coloring. The image was die cut with matching die.

The background is made up of decorator paper from Carta Bella's Happy Christmas pad. The red fishtail cut border behind the birdhouse was cut with a Stamp Simply Fishtail Sentiment Banner die.

The sentiment from the Vintage Christmas Image stamp set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Chunky glitter was added to the snow accents.

Baby Fox

Hello! Here today with a sweet card make for baby, in this case my great niece! I love the colors of the cardstock and this sweet fox die cut, along with Stamp Simply's Bible verse from their Welcome Baby clear stamp set. Let me tell you all about the card:

I began by paper piecing decorator paper cut stripes at an angle on the card base using Echo Park 12 x 12" Our Baby Girl decorator paper. I also cut the Cozy Autumn Fox die from Scrapbook.com from this paper.

The Stamp Simply Bible verse sentiment was stamped directly onto the paper pieced background. 

I love how it all turned out and little gal's parents loved it too!

Thanks for stopping in and enjoy your week!

Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

And, Stamp Simply is one of the Super Sponsors on the hop! 

The coffee cups were stamped onto Craft Consortium's Tartan Plaid decorator paper, then fussy cut before gluing to a base of white cardstock that was cut with the Have a Cup on Us dies. The cups were popped up onto the top background panel with dimensional squares.

The sentiment from the Wonder of Christmas Sentiment set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, directly on the top panel of the background.

My Favorite Hop: Favorite Leaf

 Hi! I have a quick post to share my card for today's My Favorite Instagram Hop: the theme for today is to share our favorite leaf. I'd have to say my favorite leaf is a maple leaf...we have a huge maple tree in our yard and are surrounded by maples in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. All so lovely in the Autumn!

This leaf die and embossing folder are from Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Bigz Layered Leaf die and embossing folder.  It seems to be a cross between a maple and oak leaf, but still very appealing!

I began by spritzing watercolor paper with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Spray inks, Distress Spritz Spray, and Mica Spray. After the sprays dried, I die cut the leaf with the die, then ran it through the matching embossing folder. I dabbed a bit of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide Frayed Burlap ink onto the edges of the leaf to complete the look that I wanted.

The leaf is mounted on a watercolor backdrop that was embossed with a Darice embossing folder; I believe it was called Chicken Wire.

Lovely vibrant color and easy to mail!

I hope that you get a chance to visit the My Favorite Instagram Hop...I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's leaf choices!

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Sunflower Let Your Light Shine

 Hi! Back again today with my card for the Friends in Faith Hop on Instagram. Today our theme is Let Your Light Shine! 

I've used two different sets from Stamp Simply for this card: Sunflower Season clear stamps and die and He is the Light clear stamp set for the sentiment.

The sunflower is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then Copic Sketch marker colored. I then die cut it with the sunflower die. 

The sentiment from the He is the Light stamp set was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, and then die cut with retired Spellbinder dies.

The decorator paper used is Echo Park's Bee Happy. Love the prints in this pad! Gingham is my absolute favorite!
