Whispering Woods Card

Take some beautiful Designer Series Paper (Whispering Woods), add some color with a blending brush, put on a sentiment, and you've got a great card!  Lisa Freeman did just that (and thanks)!  The central focus of the card is the paper.  It already has the trees, bears, and deer printed on it.  It makes for a quick and easy card!  Plus, with each package purchased, $3 is donated to organizations to help spread a little holiday cheer.

By cutting the DSP into 4x4" squares, you get plenty of pieces to work with.  The scenes have color added to them using Pretty Peacock ink and a blending brush.  Be sure to a white space where the snow would've fallen.  I used a variety of holiday sentiments.  The left side has a strip embossed with the Plaid Embossing Folder and then a small strip of DSP added on the left edge.  Add some bling--and you've got a nice card.  Don't forget the inside--I just stamped a tree on the right edge in Shaded Spruce and then used the blending pens again.  Enjoy!!

Thanks & Giving Card

 I usually don't send cards for Thanksgiving, which is strange because being thankful is really what the holiday is all about. So, I starting a new tradition here in the Reno house, along with turkey, dressing, cranberry, and football.  Sending Thanksgiving cards!  This card, inspired by Laura Milligan, hit the right sentiment for me.  Spend $50 by 10/31 and I'll send you a pack of Radiant Gems! Plus you always get 10% in Stampin' Rewards---

It's pretty simple to make and I was able to create a bunch in a short amount of time.  Thanks & Giving Stamp Set is from the September Exclusives--it is easy to overlook; not a part of a bundle.

Begin with a White card base, then Pecan Pie layered.  Emboss a white piece of card stock Rustic Check folder.  Cut a 3x3" square from Radiant Foils DSP.  Stamp wreath in Pecan Pie onto a 2-3/4" white square.  Use Blending Brush with Barely Blush into to add some color; randomly color leaves with Light Golden Glow Blending Pen; adhere to DSP.  

Stamp sentiment with Pecan Pie ink onto white scrap; fussy cut and attach to wreath.Use Dimensionals to adhere to card; add a linen bow and some Gold Adhesive Backed Dots and you are done! Pretty Easy-Peasy.

Simply Leaves Card

Good Morning--Have you ever used a stamp/punch for something different than what it was made for?  This card very simply used the leaf punch for the blossoms of the flower.  Quite clever--not my idea--that's what Laura Milligan did!  This card creates the ease of the punch to create a flower. Easy-peasy!

The 2026-28 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP makes a beautiful backdrop for the flower.  This card was easy to make multiples of.  The hardest thing was my hand getting tire from all the punching!

October's Product of the Month is a MUST HAVE!!!  You get 24 star dies for $5 (along with a $75 purchase).  The stars are nested together making them easy to store.  The possibilities are endless!  Imagine using the stars with gold or silver foil paper.  This card was inspired by Susan Campfield and she coordinates the stars with the Swirls of Magic Embossing.  What a great idea!

This card's fold is at the top and is open at the bottom.  Base is 7-1/4" x 4-1/4", scored at 1-3/4".  Bottom piece is 1-3/4" X 4-1/4". Cut two pieces of white 1-5/8 x 4" and one piece 3x 3-1/2" (middle piece) and emboss all three with embossing folder. Cut Hydrangea Hue 3-5/8 x 3-1/4" piece for the center.  Adhere all pieces together.  Die cut 3rd and 4th largest stars from Hydrangea Hue and one each of smaller, loose star from Mosaic Garden DSP.  Adhere together with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Add a Glossy Garden Dot to the center.  Stamp sentiment and adhere to the card.  Beautiful!!
