The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Golden Foil Merry Christmas Card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean and Simple) Christmas card to share with you--well at least it's CAS for me LOL! I know CAS means something different for everyone and if you follow my blog you know I love to embellish and bling things up.  

Check out the beautiful embossed foil!  I love using the M-bossabilities folders and they always look fabulous with foil.  I used Spellbinders Craft Foil - Delicate Pastels (Gold) and  EL-013 Winter Wonders folder to create the embossed foil background.  Then I lightly sanded the foil to remove some of the gold and let the silver really pop.  Doing this also gives the foil a two-tone shabby/distressed look.  

Next I used Delicata Non-Tarnishing Ink Pad - Golden Glitz and JustRite Papercraft CR-03820 Christmas Vintage Labels One to stamp the sentiment.  Then I heat embossed using Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder - Gold.  I used S5-019 Labels Eight and S5-148 Decorative Labels Eight to create the die cuts and layered them with 3D Foam Squares.  To create the snowflakes I used S5-185 2013 Snowflake Pendant die template.  I added some  Melissa Frances Pearls - White to the centers of the snowflakes and 3D Foam Squares to pop up them up and add a little dimension. 

Here is a close up of the embossed trees and snowflakes.

Please be sure to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of the fantastic paper crafting products and the Blog for inspiration from the Design Team.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a creative day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Christmas Banner Wall Hanging

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a little Christmas banner wall hanging to share with you.

I used one of the Melissa Frances Backdrops Chipboard - Curved Triangles for the banner shape.  I painted the entire piece with ivory acrylic paint.    

Then I covered the piece of chipboard with some of the paper from Webster's Pages-A Christmas Story 6x6 paper pad collection.  I fussy cut a couple of the images from the paper and added them to the banner.  Next I added Melissa Frances Organza Pouf Ribbon - Pink and the rose colored trim from the Webster's Pages-A Christmas Story Designer Trims.

I used ivory cardstock and three of the dies from the S5-185 2013 Snowflake Pendant die templates from  Spellbinders Creative Arts® to create the snowflake.  I used 3D Foam Squares in between the layers of the snowflake to add some dimension.  Next I applied Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to the snowflake and then covered it with Tim Holtz Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.  I added one of the  Webster's Pages Designer Cameos - A Christmas Story to the center of the snowflake.

Here is the snowflake on the banner.  I also added some Sequins - White Iridescent - 8mm, Sequins - White Iridescent - 5mm and Melissa Frances Pearls - Cream.

Check out this sweet little Melissa Frances Hanger - Decorative Scroll Clip 4".  I just love these hangers!  They are so shabby and fun to add to your projects.  I didn't want to cover up too much of the hanger so I just added a little bit of Seam Binding Cameo Beige and a few Melissa Frances Pearls - Cream.  

Please be sure to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of the fantastic paper crafting products and the Blog for inspiration from the Design Team.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hope you stay warm and cozy during these cold winter days and 

have fun decorating for Christmas!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Elegant Celebrations Clear Stamps - JustRite Papercraft December New Release Day Five

Hello everyone and happy Saturday!  Today, is the final day of the JustRite Papercraft® December New Release and I have another stamp set and die template to share with you.

Here is the AG-04960 Elegant Celebrations Clear Stamps.  This beautiful stamp set was designed by Becca Feeken.  It has so many fantastic sentiments and some that you can mix and match too.

For those of you who love die templates this AG-04930 Heirloom Flourish One Die is going to be a must have.  This die template is also designed by Becca Feeken.  It is so pretty and such a fun accent die.

Here is the card that I designed using AG-04960 Elegant Celebrations Clear Stamps and AG-04930 Heirloom Flourish One Die.  This is a pretty CAS (Clean and Simple) card but I really wanted the beautiful border and the die to be showcased.  I used Versa Magic Aloe Vera ink to stamp the border three times and then I used Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the sentiment.  I added the May Arts Ribbon Sampler-Spring Green and the die cut at the top of the card with a few Prima Abby-White flowers.

Here is a close up of the die cut and flowers.

Grand Thank You Sentiments - JustRite Papercraft December New Release Day Three

Hello everyone!  Today, is day three of the JustRite Papercraft® December New Release. 

But before I share the new stamp set and card that I designed I wanted to let you know 

JustRite Papercraft® is having a Christmas Sale!  If you haven't already picked up some Christmas stamp sets now is the time to do it! 

Here is the stamp set that I have to share with you today--CL-04890 Grand Thank You Sentiments Cling Stamps.  I love the different fonts in this stamp set!

Here is the card that I designed using one of the Thank You sentiments from the CL-04890 Grand Thank You Sentiments Cling Stamps.  I used Delicata Golden Glitz Ink and gold embossing powder and then heat set it.  After that I used S4-310 Labels Eighteen to die cut the sentiment.  Next I used S6-001 5x7 Matting Basics die template and E3D-006 Framed Labels Eighteen folder to create the beautiful embossed background.  I layered the pieces together and then I lightly rubbed more of the ink along the bottom and edges of the card.  I used ivory metallic cardstock.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.  To embellish the card I added some seam binding, WOC Flowers and some bling.  I used 3D Foam Squares and EZ Runner® Permanent Strips-Refillable Dispenser from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to adhere all of the paper pieces together.

The finished card is a 5 x 7 size.

Time Flies Background and Timely Banner - JustRite Papercraft December New Release

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is the first day for the JustRite Papercraft December New Releases.  This is going to be another fabulous release! 

I have two stamp sets to share with you today.  The first one is CL-04885 Time Flies Cling Background.  I love this background stamp!  There are so many possibilities with this stamp--you can use it as a full background stamp or you could fussy cut part of the images to use on there own or you could stamp and fussy cut several times creating unique layered images.  If you love coloring this is also a fun image to color.

Here is the second stamp set called CR-04920 Timely Banners Clear Stamps.  This is another great stamp set and can be used for so many occasions.

Here is the card that I designed using both CL-04885 Time Flies Cling Background and CR-04920 Timely Banners Clear Stamps from JustRite Papercraft®.  I wanted to make a masculine card and this was a fun one to do.  I kept it pretty simple--just coloring with Copics and a few layers of paper.  I also added a fun dangle charm on the side.  

I started by coloring the rows of clocks in the background image.

Next I added just a hint of color to the wings to make the white appear more white.  The color is very faint and it is hard to see in the photo but it's there lol.

Next I colored the flourish.

I finished of the background image by coloring in the clock and the banner.

Here is a close up of the image after all of the coloring was done and the sentiment was added.

To create the dangle charm I used some chain and a lobster clasp from my stash and then I added Copper Gears, Silver Gears, Copper Jump Rings, and Steampunk Charm Collection (Watch Mechanism) from ButterBeeScraps.  I thought the gears and watch mechanism worked perfectly with this card.

Saying Goodbye to Our Sweet Girl Kerra

Last night our sweet little girl Kerra went to Heaven.

We love her and miss her so very much.  She brought so much joy, laughter and love into our hearts and our home.  She will forever be in our hearts.

Our Forever Pet

“There’s something missing in our home,

We feel it day and night,

We know it will take time and strength

Before things feel quite right.

But just for now, we need to mourn,

Our hearts—need to mend.

Though some may say it’s ‘just a pet’

We know we’ve lost a friend.

You’ve brought such laughter to our home,

And richness to our days…

A constant friend through joy or loss,

With gentle loving ways.

Companion, pal, and confidante,

A friend we won’t forget,

You’ll live for always in our hearts,

Our sweet forever pet.”

Gonna miss this sweet little face.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs,

Heidi (& Family)

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Peace Christmas Card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a quick and easy Christmas card to share with you.  

For my card I used some of the pretty papers from the Webster's Pages-A Christmas Story 6x6 paper pad collection,  I love the combination of the blue and ivory with a pop of red.  To create the matting layers I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A, S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B die templates with the dove pattern paper from the Webster's Pages-A Christmas Story 6x6 paper pad collection and some light blue solid colored cardstock.  

Next to create the pretty decorative edge die cuts I used two of the die templates from S4-414 Captivating Squares and layered with 3D Foam Squares.  Then I made another die cut using the S2-049 Corner Sprigs die template.  The little sprig kind of matches the one the doves have in the pattern paper.  I added some 8 mm Red Sequins-Multi 200pc Darice and  5 mm Red Sequins-Multi 800pc to look like little holly berries.  To finish of the card I added a bow made with the May Arts 3/8" Velvet with Gold Dots ribbon.  The center image is one I fussy cut from the pattern paper.

Please be sure to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of the fantastic paper crafting products and the Blog for inspiration from the Design Team.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a creative day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi
