Noble Peacock Foil Pretty Peacock Christmas

Here is the last in the trio of Noble Peacock Foil Sheet cards. This one uses this card as #pinspiration, really it was just using the Scripty 3D and orientation and the rest came from the Noble Peacock Foil Old Olive Christmas card.

~Enjoy!

---

The background uses the Pretty Peacock from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. The border is cut from Whisper White and one of the Delicate Lace Dies. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock and a stamp from the Itty Bitty Stamp Set. For the ribbon, I  colored the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon with a Pretty Peacock Blends Marker, I love how the sparkle shows though after coloring it! The envelope is stamped with one of my favorite holiday borders from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set and Pretty Peacock, so elegant! 

I decided to do all 3 card focals the same since I loved the Old Olive version so much. Tracy went with snowflakes for her cards, make sure to check it out! I cut Pretty Peacock with the Leaf Punch and topped that off with Ice Stampin' Glitter for extra holiday sparkle! The flower is cut from the large & small flowers from the Flourish Dies and White Glimmer Paper. More leaves were cut from Whisper White and Pool Party and Bouquet Bunch Dies.

Noble Peacock Foil Blueberry Bushel Christmas

Here is the second in the trio of Noble Peacock Foil Sheet cards. This was was also CASE-d from Pinterest.

~Enjoy!

---

The background uses the Blueberry Bushel from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets embossed with the Quilted Embossing Folder. The border is cut from Whisper White and one of the Delicate Lace Dies. The sentiment is stamped with Blueberry Bushel and a stamp from my stash. I roughed up the edges a little to give it a little more interest since it was hanging out all by itself away from the focal. The Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon is so pretty with Blueberry Bushel and Whisper White. The envelope is stamped with one of my favorite holiday borders from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set and Blueberry Bushel, so elegant! 

I decided to do all 3 card focals the same since I loved the Old Olive version so much. Tracy went with snowflakes for her cards, check it out! I cut some Night of Navy with the Leaf Punch and topped that off with Ice Stampin' Glitter for extra holiday sparkle! The flower is cut from the large & small flowers from the Flourish Dies and White Glimmer Paper. More leaves were cut from Whisper White and Seaside Spray and Bouquet Bunch Dies.

Noble Peacock Foil Old Olive Christmas

For the last "card" of the day, Tracy & I picked 2 cards made with the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets to CASE and a third to convert so that we could 
1) Use more DSP since we bought so much
2) Use one of each of the colors.
3) Use one of each of the Delicate Lace Dies
These cards are sooo pretty in person!

~Enjoy!

---

The background uses the Old Olive from the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. The sentiment cut from Whisper White and one of the Delicate Lace Dies and then stamped with Granny Apple Green and the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set (I love the fonts in this sentiment). For the ribbon, I  colored the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon with a Pear Pizzazz Blends Marker, I love how the sparkle shows though after coloring it! The envelope is stamped with one of my favorite holiday borders from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set, so elegant! 

For the accent pieces, even though it is for Christmas, I decided to stay with floral since I wanted the depth and colors. Tracy went with snowflakes for her cards. I cut some Pear Pizzazz with the Leaf Punch and topped that off with Ice Stampin' Glitter for extra holiday sparkle! The flower is cut from the large & small flowers from the Flourish Dies and White Glimmer Paper. More leaves were cut from Whisper White and Soft Sea Foam and Bouquet Bunch Dies.

Garden Lane meets Nature's Beauty Bunny

The last #OneSheetWonder card was one of the easiest and may be my favorite because of its softness.

~Enjoy!

---

For the background I embossed a piece of... you guessed it! Whisper White with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder layered over Mint Macaron. I added two strips of the Garen Lane DSP on each side of the bunny & framed them with Silver Glimmer Paper. The bunny is stamped in Soft Suede and cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and layered over another cut from Mint Macaron. The sentiment is stamped with the Old Olive and the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set. The whole thing is topped off with a knot of Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle and Silver Thread. The envelope is decorated with the border stamp from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set with Mint Macaron. 

Here is the paper cutting template. This card both of the 1 3/4 x 1 7/8 cuts.

Garden Lane meets Nature's Beauty Fox

The next #OneSheetWonder card uses the fox and I made it into a Christmas card.

~Enjoy!

---

For the background I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder layered over Old Olive. I added a strip of the Mossy Meadow with the leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow & trimmed it with the Delicate Lace Dies. That was topped off with a few little strips of Gold Glimmer Paper to add a little bling. The Garden Lane DSP strip runs down the left side. The fox is stamped in Soft Suede and cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The sentiment is stamped with the Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink and the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set. The whole thing is topped off with a bow made of Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon colored with the Mint Macaron Blends Marker. The envelope is stamped with the border stamp from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set.

Here is the paper cutting template. This card uses 1 1/2 x 6 cut and trimmed down to 5 1/2.

Garden Lane meets Nature's Beauty Easter

This is the first one I tackled using two of the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper #OneSheetWonder pieces measuring 2 3/4 x 1 7/8.

~Enjoy!

---

I recently made a Halloween card with this layout and thought it would be an easy way to start with this challenge. All layers & inks are Mossy Meadow except the bunny was stamped with Soft Suede. I flipped the leafy primary piece I would be using over to reveal the more Mint Macaron piece and layered them both with Mossy Meadow. For the background I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. I added a strip of green across the front & stamped it with the leaves stamp from the Nature's Beauty Stamp Set and trimmed it with a few strips of Silver Glimmer Paper. The bunny was cut using the Ornate Frames Dies. The sentiment is from a really old Stampin' Up! retired set and the whole thing is topped off with a bow made from the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon. The envelope is decorated with the border stamp from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set.

Here is the paper cutting template. This card uses the two middle bottom pieces.

Birch Background meets Details Deer Dies #2

For the North Carolina Stampin Up Demos meeting, I signed up for some display boards. This card was created for the board that used the Birch Background Stamp. I was to make 6 cards and focus on the Fall and winter holidays. My friend Tracy agred to make 3 of the 6 cards needed. Here is the first one I made.

~Enjoy!

---

This was a "template" I have made several times before & comes out nice every time I make it. This one uses the Birch Background Stamp in Smokey Slate, Real Red embossed with Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder and the Detailed Deer Dies cut from Silver Glimmer Paper. The sentiment is stamped with Itty Bitty Christmas. I colored the rhinestones with a Real Red Blends Marker and the whole thing is topped off with a bow made with White Polka Dot Tulle, White Bakers Twine and Silver thread. The envelope is decorated with a stamp from the Dashing Deer Stamp Set. This one is beautiful, but I decided to go with an alternate version that had a little more technique, make sure to see the final version here!

Decorated Envelopes

As we are fastly approaching Christmas - only 8 days left!!!! I want to give you some last minute inspiration. I did not buy the coordinating stamps for this Designer Series Paper, but found that the new Incredible Like You stamp set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog had a perfect leaf set to decorate the front and back flaps of the envelopes! I finished it off and found some clustered dots from my stash to add the holly.

~ Enjoy!

This envelope flap was decorated using the Dashing Deer stamp set for the holly and the Wishing You Well stamp set

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives November 2018

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

The November 2018 Paper Pumpkin was by far the best one yet! The beautiful plaids were very versatile, the envelope plaid was amazing and provided a new perspective from the very vanilla based plaids in the kit. There was also very nice laser cut greenery and you got a LOT! I started out with the basics - have to at least do one of each designed prepared by the designers, but then all bets are off! Alternatives here we come! All in all I was able to create 38 cards with this kit. It is the first time I used the entire kit with only simple scraps left over - which I normally do something with - but life is crazy - you know! Special shout out to Rachel Tessman, some of hers I CASEd below as well as some others for the amazing inspiration!

Special Delivery from the North Pole

The November 2018 Paper Pumpkin was really cute including the plaid envelopes they provided! Well - I could not let all of the cuteness go to waste - so I had to cut apart the envelope to utilize the cute plaid within. When I did that, there was this weird extra triangular piece left over and try as I might - every time I used it it sill ended up looking like an envelope - so I gave in & said - let me just make an envelope AS the card. So I went off to my stash to find an across the miles type sentiment & came across the Special Delivery from the North Pole - perfect!!! This is a typical A2 top fold card.

The card front is made from 2 pieces of the leftover cut apart envelope. I highlighted the seam of the envelope with a marker to get more of the point across that it is an envelope and mounted that on the enclosed card base in the Paper Pumpkin kit..

~Enjoy
