Cover Plate: Circles

Here is a card using the PTI die Cover Plate: Circles.  I used the die on Whisper White card stock and punched out all the circles and the diamonds. I cut off a portion so that only 3 rows of circles show and adhered it to Real Red card stock.  I stamped some of the circles with the three stamps in Country Charm by WPlus9 and left a few plain white. Then I adhered the circles back onto the punched out cover. The little red diamonds show through which I like.  I tied on twill tape then tied on some little tags with Baker's twine that I had punched with SU's tiny tags punch.  I stamped the sentiment in white  & then embossed it in white to make it pop out more. I really like how this turned out! Thanks for stopping by.

Sparkly Valentine

Time to get started on valentines cards.  This one is really simple.  I started out by punching a heart out of red glimmer paper. I then took a piece of white and embossed it with the new Adorning Accents embossing folder available in the Occasions mini catalog.  I started wrapping the Baker's twine around the bottom of the white layer beneath the heart but really thought it looked better right over the top of the heart and the embossing. The sentiment was stamped in Real Red below. The heart is popped up on dimensionals and this was layered on red. Like I said. Very simple but that's the way I like it.

Supplies all Stampin'Up:

Stamps: Holidays & Wishes

Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Red Glimmer paper

Ink: Real Red

Accessories: Heart punch, Adorning Accents EF, Baker's twine, dimensionals

Christmas Ornament Cards

Time to get down to making Christmas cards.  I got some new SU toys yesterday including the ornament punch and Delightful Decorations stamp set to match so had to play today. I am also playing along with the Pals Paper Arts challenge this week which is "puttin' on the ritz" (PPA123) or in other words to dress up your card with a little sparkle.

The first card has a Night of Navy card base.  I embossed the Cherry Cobbler layer with a Cuttlebug EF (some snowflakes) and layered it on white.  I stamped the ornament in Cherry Cobbler and punched it out then tied some Baker's Twine around it and added a rhinestone for some bling.  I popped the ornament on dimensionals on another new item that I got - silver glitter paper.  It is so pretty and shiny and I thought would look great behind the ornament .  This is also on dimensionals over some silver cord that SU retired several years ago.

Stamps: Delightful Decorations

Paper: Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White, Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Cuttlebug EF, ornament punch, silver cord (SU ret), Baker's twine, rhinestone, dimensionals, red sticky tape

For the second card I punched the ornament right out of the silver glimmer paper and tied the silver cord around it. I stamped the ornament decoration in Versamark and embossed it in white embossing powder, added a rhinestone and popped it up on a dimensional.  The ornament is also on dimensionals on the Cherry Cobbler square behind it.  This time I embossed with a fancier folder (Cuttlebug but I don't remember the name) to make it a bit more elegant.  This is layered on white and then the C.C. card base.   Hope you like these Christmas cards.  There will be more to come in the next few days :-)
