Evergreen Season of Style

The cards for the Troops inspired me to use Evergreen, my favorite Holiday Tree stamp set EVER!!  And it is on the carry over list so you can still order it!  This Tree pairs well with all styles and Season of Style Designer paper is a perfect match.  This card will be a Stamp a Stack choice.

 

The card base is Crumb Cake.  Season of Style Designer paper is embossed with the Northern Flurry  embossing folder.    A strip of Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon is knotted and adhered to the dsp and then to the card base.  I use Snail adhesive to adhere the ribbon front and back, then Tombow to adhere both to the card base.  The Tree was stamped in Old Olive and the Tree outline in Early Expresso.  The sentiment from Calm Christmas is stamped in Early Expresso.  Oval Framelits fit perfectly and make the tree the focal point of the card.  Dazzling Details adds sparkle to the branches.

Sweater Weather Sunflower

This Sunflower card was inspired by a Print I saw at the Craft fair.  My phone died so I could not take a picture.  I wanted to make the card as soon as I came home so I could capture the feeling of that fabric.  Inspiration can come from many places, oh how I wish I had taken my regular camera!

 

This picture does not do the fabric justice as the fabric had a sheen to it, I tried adding some dazzling details to the center, but it was too shiny.  So I prefer this matt version.  A Whisper White card base with a Crushed Curry mat 5 3/8 X 4 1/8.  The Sweater Weather paper measure 4 X 5 1/4.  The Sunflower was stamped in Early Expresso ink on the Designer paper.  Then embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder.  Adhere the layers.  The sentiment is stamped in Early Expresso ink on Crushed Curry and punched with the Ticket Duo punch.  Itty Bitty Shapes were punched from Early Expresso card stock and adhered to the center of the Sunflower.

Whisper White card stock  100730  $8.50
