With only a few days left in our Holiday Wishes stamp special, I wanted to share another card I made using the tree from this set.  The challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week was to use Black, White and WOW !   So my WOW color is red.   I'm not used to using Black and White for my Christmas colors but I think this card turned out nice! For this 5x7 card, I used a pattern from Jeanette Lynton's How To Book - Wishes .  The pattern is called Midpoint.   I used my Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to first cut out the tree.  Then I stamped the it with Black ink and added Red Glitz Glitter Gel (Z1484) to each little bird.   My red-checked ribbon is from the Designer Ribbon - Red Collection (Z1615).  I used 3-D foam tape to pop the tree up a little.   Here is a picture a little more close up of the tree and birds.  If you haven't ordered your Holiday Wishes yet, you still have time!   Just purchase $25 in My Acry...

Here is one more card with the special Holiday Wishes stamp!   I started this one a few days ago and didn't finish.  I can't remember now why I set it aside.  I sat down tonight to do a few challenges and saw the pieces for this card laying on my table.  All I had to do was put it together and add some finishing touches. I used the sketch from the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge .   She has some really nice sketches on here so I'll be checking this one out every Saturday! I used the Wonderland Level 2 Paper pack with this card.  See the flourish coming out from under the ribbon?  That is actually part of the Christmas Tree stamp from the Holiday Wishes stamp!  The wide ribbon is from the Dark Chocolate Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon (Z1617).  I love this ribbon!  The ribbon tied to the ornament is from the Designer Ribbon - Blue Collection (Z1385).  I stamped the ornament with Twilight Ink and added Prisma Glitter t...

Today's Holiday Wishes card uses the 4th shape that coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge - the Tree!  I used Mojo Monday's sketch for this 5x7 card.     I turned the design to the horizontal position so that my tree would fit the card.  The colors of Cranberry, Cocoa and New England Ivy along with the design of the tree give this card a little bit of an 'old' feel I think.  I cut the cocoa layer of the tree at 4 1/4".  After stamping the tree with New England Ivy ink, I used the little poinsettia stamp with cranberry ink and cut them out to adhere to the tree.  I added a dot of Red Glitz Glitter Gel to the center of each flower.   The poinsettia is from the Mistletoe Level 2 Assortment that you can purchase on line from the "While Supplies Last" section of my website.  I cut out the leaves using my Art Philosophy cartridge.  If you have not ordered your Holiday Wishes  stamp yet, you have until No...

Here is another Christmas card with Holiday Wishes !  I got the inspiration for this card from a card by Kelly Eubanks in the Holiday Cards magazine by Paper Crafts .    Can you believe this paper is not 'Christmas'?  This is from the Roxie Level 2 Paper pack!  This card has a 'woodsy' feel.  Makes me think of hot apple cider in front of a warm fire in a cabin in the woods!  I used Cranberry ink on Bamboo cardstock for the stocking.  I cut the stocking with the Art Philosophy cartridge first and then stamped it.  This week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge  is Metal Mania - incorporate something metal in your project. So I added two pewter buttons on top of the black grosgrain ribbon.  My final touch was the Foundry Pin Clip for a stocking hanger. REMEMBER!    Holiday Wishes can only be purchased this month!   Purchase $25 in My Acrylix stamps and you can get the Holiday Wishes for just $5!   (Savin...

Here is another card with my new stamp set Holiday Wishes!  For this card, I used the sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping .   I cut one star out with  Art Philosophy  cricut cartridge (a perfect fit) and then moved the measurement up 1/4" and cut another one to layer so that one star would stand out.  Notice my 'Baker's Twine'?  I got the tip to make my own from Close To My Heart's Facebook page.  I twisted together White and Crystal Blue Waxy flax to make my Baker's Twine.   Today I recieved a 'goodie box' from my upline Chris Szczechowski.   It was all about embossing!  I got embossing powders in Silver and Clear Detail, a Versamark ink pad and refill, an embossing pen and prisma glitter!  Chris also gave me this tip:  Mix Clear Detail embossing powder with prisma glitter for a cool effect.   I tried it out on the stars!  You can see the prisma glitter shimmering.    I first stamped the star ...

I just got my Holiday Wishes stamp and couldn't wait to play!  I created this quick card with the ornament stamp using the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge.   I can't wait to create more! My card is 5x5.   I used Mistletoe paper (now retired) along with New England Ivy and Cranberry cardstock from Close To My Heart. The poinsettia is also CTMH from the Mistletoe Level 2 Assortment .  You can purchase these on-line only from the "While Supplies Last" section of Shop Online. I used the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut out my ornament and then I stamped it with New England Ivy Ink.  Such a perfect fit!  I thought this ornament looked like it needed tassel so I added floss at the tip.  Then I used the Bronze Glitter Gel at the bottom of the ornament and added a few drops to accent the leaves.  My cranberry bow was my final touch. The Holiday Wishes stamp has four images that coordinate with the AP ca...
