Farmhouse Christmas Card

     Hello friends, the weekend is almost here and believe me I really need it. How about you? Fall has definitely showed up. We are getting temps down into the 40s at night and only to mid 70s during the day. I noticed that Canada got some snow this week which I really love, but they probably don't It is really starting to put me into the Christmas mode so here is a Christmas card for you.

     I wanted to have a little fun with this one and when I was thinking about farmhouses my brain settled on bricks. Then I thought, "Wait Stampin' Up! has a brick mask." Then I knew what I wanted to do and that was using some embossing paste. I took some Cherry Cobbler refill ink and a little scoop of embossing paste and mixed it together. You can color the embossing paste any one of Stampin' Up!'s ink colors.

     This was a very simple card. I wanted to let the texture and the sentiment stand out the most. And the DSP (Designer Series Paper) is so beautiful for this suite. I love the country feel to them.

     I kept the inside just as simple with just a little stamping on the top and a little sentiment. You never really want the inside to take away from what you write.

Hugs,

Julie


Here is what I used.....

     Hello again crafty people! It's that time again for another blog hop with demonstrators from around the whole world who are part of Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Group. These hops are so fun because you can find inspiration and creativity from so many different people all over the globe. Lost your creative mojo or just don't where to get started then you need to check out each person on this hop to get those crafty ideas flowing. Here is my card.....      I was inspired to make this card from another card marker. I have always loved the Little Twinkle stamp set and knew that this was more then just for babies. By combining it with the Well Said Bundle I'm telling my loved one that our love was written in the stars.      I heat embossed the background first then watercolored it. This way I didn't have the watercoloring showing through the embossing from underneath. You could do this technique with any of the different embossing powders dependi

     Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Today I have a special post for you...an Aim for Alaska new Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek Blog Hop! That's right. You will get to see a whole bunch of blogs with new product from the new catalog! Now as some of you know I suffer from some pretty severe back issues along with a few other things and so lately while I have been going on a reducing my meds roller coaster I have lost a lot of my crafty mojo. That is why I love new catalog time!! With all the new product we get to play with, and a lot of inspiration out there among the other demonstrators, it has helped so much.      Speaking of new product...that is exactly what I used to make my mom her Mother's Day card. I used the Delightful Daisy Suite from the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog. I got to work with this product at OnStage in April which was a blast and I ordered it in my Product Premiere Purchase order, a speci

There is such a wide range of us from all over the globe. Some of the demonstrators in the group have already earned the trip. I haven't yet, but I am
