Celebrate the Savior

Hi Friends!  

I am sharing a card on the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps blog today and wanted to share it with you here as well.

This card was designed using the new clear stamp set, Celebrate the Savior designed by Krista Hamrick for Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps Creative Worship line.

I love the images in the Celebrate the Savior clear stamp set- perfect for Christmas cards as well as Bible Art Journaling!

I am also linking this card to the Stampin’ Celebration SC134 Photo Inspiration challenge (I was inspired by the grays, cream and elegance of the items in the photos) along with the Simon Says Wednesday "Anything Goes" Challenge  and the Paper Players PP311 Theme Challenge.  

To create this card:

Slightly distress the edges of a piece of designer paper and use a sewing machine with a zig zag stitch to adhere the paper to a piece of gray cardstock.

Distress the edges of the gray cardstock and mount onto a piece of vanilla cardstock.

Add the crochet lace and gray ribbon (wrapping the ribbon ends behind the card front_ and mount the entire card front onto the gray card base.

De-static a piece of vanilla cardstock, ink the sentiment and angel image with embossing ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

Die cut the embossed images with a large circle die and also cut a piece of gray cardstock with the same size die.

Split the gray circle die cut in half, adhere behind the embossed image and distress the edges a bit.

Mount the focal image with dimensional foam, add the triple satin ribbon bow and adhere pearls to finish off the card.

Another CC511_CCC15 Christmas- Joy

Hi Again Stampers! 

While I had the CC511 Splitcoaststampers CC511 “Old Cake Whisperer”Color Challenge Colors available, I decided to create a second card for both the CC511 Challenge as well as the CCC15 Splitcoaststampers Christmas CardChallenge :-)

Again, if you not have already visited the Splitcoaststampers galleries, I hope you will find the time to do so- wonderful ideas from all! 

To create this Clean and Layered (CAL) card:

Use the Big Shot™ along with the Chalk Talk Framelits™ to cut the tag from a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Emboss with the Big Shot™ and the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  

Add the 7/8” Sahara Sand Lace Trim to the bottom of the tag, add the strips of ¼” Green Satin Ribbon along with the strands of Pearls. 

Ink the Joy bell image using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Color the image using retired SU! Watercolor Pencils (undiluted) and add shadows with the Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write marker, trim the image and mount onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock. 

Add the focal image to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Create the paper bow with the Bow Builder Punch from Old Olive cardstock.  Add the Antique Brad to the center of the bow and adhere at the top of the tag.

Emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, trim and layer onto the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock used for the tag (the background layers will cover the tag cut-out and reduce the weight for mailing).

Add a piece of retired Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the lower part of the Crumb Cake card front and add the scrap piece of ¼” Green Satin Ribbon to cover the edges.

 

Ink the Joy bell image using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Color the image using retired SU! Watercolor Pencils (undiluted) and add shadows with the Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write marker. 

Trim the image and mount onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock. 

Mount the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® to finish off the card.
