Merry Christmas - Week 9

 

This card came from another SU! Website that I subscribe to www.mychicnscratch.com She had received this card in a swap but did not have the name of the person that created it so I won’t be able to give them credit.  It is super easy but is also super cute J!  I used the More Merry Messages Stamp set (my fave!) but hers was done using the Chock-Full of Cheer (Wood #126715 Clear #126717).

• Stamps: More Merry Messages - Wood #126400 Clear #126402

12 Weeks of Christmas - Week 7

 

This weeks card is made exclusively from one kit.  Below the card is a picture of all of the product you get in the kit and you can use it to create tons of cards, or scrapbook pages.  Some of the things included in the kit are sticker embellishments, 2 (12x12) sheets of basic grey, cherry cobbler, old olive, very vanilla and about 6 (can't remember the exact count) of designers series paper.  Several sheets of stickers.  Everything (a few exceptions) on this card came from the kit.  The ribbon is some ribbon that I had picked up on sale at Michaels.  I also used the More Merry Messages stamp set (which I absolutely LOVE!), bakers twine in Cherry Cobbler and Stampin Dimensionals.

12 Weeks of Christmas - Week 6

This week I decided to design a card (actually I did two) using the My Digital Studio 2 Software.  The first card I wanted to use one stamp and see how I could change it.   Here are the results

• I started with Baja Breeze Card Stock as the background
• The snowflake is from the Old St. Nick Stamp set in Whisper White.  I added the snowflake stamp and then copied/pasted several others on the page.  I resized them into different sizes and then changed the opacity (a slider bar in MDS 2) to make some of them appear translucent.
• The ribbon/bow embellishment in Whisper White
• Added Whisper White card stock as a page layer and then sized it down
• Sentiment is from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set in Basic Black
• Large Photo Corner Punch was used and layered behind the Whisper White.  The color of the Corner Punch was changed to Raspberry Ripple

For the second card I wanted to see how quickly I could design a card using a kit.  This card is made from the Candy Cane Lane Designer Kit.  The basic card took about 10 minutes (most of the time was making the decision as to what kit to use) and another 10 minutes to get the embellishments, stamp set and papers resized to my liking

• Real Red Card Stock was used as the background
• Whisper White card stock was added as a page layer and then resized to show the real red as a mat
• The ornament and designer series paper was added using the Candy Cane Lane designer kit and resized
• Whisper White was added as a second page layer and resized over the DSP
• Merry Christmas in Real Red from the Come to Bethlehem stamp set

Note:  Images from the MDS software can be printed on your personal printer or downloaded and professionally printed by Stampin Up!  You can complete a variety of projects from cards to scrapbooking pages, calendars, recipe cards, etc.
