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.....

Cupcake Card

Image
     Here is the latest project I did for National Scrapbooking Day. I wanted something to celebrate the day but also something bright and cheerful. I think this card fits the bill just perfect.      I started with cutting a piece of Melon Mambo in half then folded the card in half for my card base. I then cut a piece of Daffodil Delight to 3-3/4" x 5" and a piece of Whisper White to 3-1/2" x 4-3/4". I glued the Whisper White onto the Daffodil Delight. I stamped the Celebrate You onto the layered Whisper White. I then got started on the cupcakes. First, I stamped all the  components of the cupcakes onto a piece of Whisper White. Next, I used the Cupcake Builder punch and punched out all the pieces. I then used some Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the cupcake pieces. Finally, I glued the layers onto the Melon Mambo card base and the card is finished.      I hope you had a great National Scrapbooking Day and you got a lot accomplish...

Yet Another Butterfly Card

Image
Welcome, welcome to my blog. I hope you are having a great day to far. Today, I have another butterfly card for you using the Butterfly Basics stamp set from Stampin' Up! and the Butterflies Thinlits that I used on my Big Shot to cut out. I first used a piece of So Saffron and cut it in half to make the card base. I then cut a piece of Calypso Coral to 5-1/4" x 4" and a piece of Whisper White to 5" x 3-3/4". I first stamped the leaves from the stamp set in Pear Pizzazz on the piece of Whisper White. Next, I stamped the honeycomb in So Saffron in the upper left corner and the date stamp in early Espresso on top. Then I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral in the lower right corner under the leaves. Now onto the butterflies. I stamped the twp smaller butterflies onto a piece of Whisper White. I then punched the smallest butterfly out. Next, I used my Big Shot to cut out the large butterfly in both Lost Lagoon and Vellum. Then I adhered the layers together and...

Watercolored Sorry Card - Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Challenge

Image
     Hello everyone! Today I have another special blog post for you. Kylie Bertucci, a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Australia, has invited demonstrators from around the world to take part in a fun international highlight blog. And here is my card! The theme this month was "Sorry" so I thought of the Ribbon for Courage stamp set. Patty Bennett created this stamp when she reached $1 million in sales and it is honor of her mother who she lost to cancer.      I started with the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textures Impression Folder and used Watercolor paper. I used the Aqua Painters to put the ink exactly where I wanted it. When I was finished watercoloring I then watered down a couple drops of the Shimmer Paint in Frost White and painted it over the areas where I had watercolored.      I stamped my sentiment and then layered it and placed it onto the card over some of the Nature's Twine in Grapefruit Grove. I placed the whole piece onto...
