JUGS317 One Layer Poinsettia Christmas

Hi Friends!!

It’s time for the new Just Us Girls #317 “One Layer” Challenge and I decided to create a quick Christmas card using Heat Embossing along with Watercolor.

This is my last challenge as a Guest Designer for October and I have truly loved designing with these talented ladies :-)

I hope you will have a chance to check out the rest of the fabulous Just Us Girls Design Teamprojects, pull out your supplies and join in on the fun!   

It was a bit difficult to photograph this card since the panel seems
to warp a bit with the watercoloring but it is flatter IRL :-)

To create this card:

Score a 4.25” x 11” piece of Naturals White cardstock and de-static the front panel using the Embossing Buddy®, stamp the poinsettia and leaf images from the retired set, Joyful Christmas using Versamark™ Ink, apply Stampin’ Emboss White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

Color using an AquaPainter™ with Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Classic Ink.  Add additional color using the same colors in Stampin’ Write Markers- spritz with water and allow the colors to run a bit.

Carefully dry the panel with the Heat Tool and once dried, use the Daffodil Delight  Stampin’ Write markers to color the center.

Here is a straight frontal view- again the curve of the lens seems
to accentuate the paper curve from the watercoloring :-)

Stamp the sentiment from the retired set, Christmas Blessings using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and add splatters using Gorgeous Grunge with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink as well.

Quick and easy- perfect for Christmas!

Stamp Sets:  Joyful Christmas, Christmas Blessings (both retired Stampin’ Up!)

Ink: Versamark™, Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow; Stampin’ Write Markers- Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight

Paper: Naturals White

Accessories: Embossing Buddy®, Stampin’ Emboss® White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, AquaPainter™

Thanks again for visiting- I hope you have a wonderful week and come play along with us at Just Us Girls!

HYCCT1525 Christmas Blessings To You

Hi Friends!!

This card was created for the Splitcoaststampers’ “Hope You Can Cling To”  HYCCT1525Lisa’s “Stay Centered” Challenge along with the Happy Little Stamper Oct15 Christmas "Poinsettia" Challenge.

Again, if you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above galleries- wonderful inspiration from all!!

This was a quick, easy card to create- ink and stamp the images with Versamark™ onto Whisper White cardstock, emboss with White Embossing Powder and watercolor with Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and More Mustard.

Fussy cut the poinsettias and position onto the die cut More Mustard panel, mount onto the embossed Whisper White panel and layer onto More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

Another view to show that there is very little
dimension so less postage is needed as well :-)

Add the stamped sentiment with dimensional foam and you are finished!
