Peaceful Wreath on Woodland

Hello again folks.  Today I would like to share a Christmas card made by Delia Wilkes, one of my lovely downline who has also become a good friend. Delia used some new items from the autumn-winter catalogue which launches tomorrow, 1st September. Yay!

The new stamp set is Peaceful Wreath (photopolymer) and the 6" x 6" embossing folder is called Woodland.  Wonderful Wreath framelits dies coordinates with this stamp set, as well as two other sets in the annual catalogue: Wondrous Wreath, carried forward from last year, and Circle of Spring, new this year.

I love the glittery gold Noel layered over a red Noel, slightly off-set to give a shadow effect. I'm not sure which colours were used, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White I think. And of course you can see that the raised areas of the embossed background was lightly inked in green with a dauber or sponge - lovely.  Thank you Delia.

Thank you for stopping by x

Hope you're feeling special today

Happy weekend crafters.  Look what I stamped this morning.  Lots of fussy cutting but it didn't take long :)

This is a take on a card we made in class last week, which I'll share with you later as I still have three more classes where we will be making the original card.

First I stamped the striped background in Hello Honey using the new Brushstrokes stamp. Then for the flowers and leaves I used the beautiful, photopolymer Garden in Bloom stamp set. A very pretty, three-step, water colour look.

The flowers (and greeting) were stamped in Soft Suede, then filled in with the solid and accent stamps in Hello Honey and Blushing Bride.  I 'stamped off' the solid stamp once first to get the lighter colour, then stamped the accent in the same ink without stamping off, hence the two-tone petals. The leaves were stamped the same way using Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzaz.

As you can see it's one of my tent style folds, sitting on a custom made envelope as the card measures 4 1/2" x 5". I used the Decorative Label punch for the greeting and popped it on Hello Honey card which I cut using a die from the Chalk Talk set. 

I finished off with a bow in Very Vanilla.  Sadly the seam binding ribbon is no longer available in the vanilla but you can get other SU ribbon in that colour, like very lovely 5/8" satin ribbon.

Christmas Joy

So today's card is another version of yesterday's card.  I used the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and coordinating Wonderful Wreath framelits again.  This time I used Watermelon Wonder and Very Vanilla card stock.  Not forgetting the scrumptious gold glimmer card for 'Joy' and a 1/4" circle on the bow.  You can see the Softly Falling embossing clearly in the second photo, love it. You'll find a full list of products used below.

Sorry the photos are a bit shadowy, I took them in the conservatory where it was very bright but I forgot about the shadows cast.

Merry wishes wreath

Hello crafters.  So this is the first Christmas card I have made this year.  I have mixed it up using products from the annual and autumn-winter catalogues.  I expect you recognise the wreath, from Wondrous Wreath stamp set, carried over from last year's seasonal catalogue - and I'm so please about that.

The coordinating dies makes it easy peasy to cut out the elements which I popped on with dimensials. The berries can be stamped, which I did, but then I decided to punch out umpteen 1/8" circles with the handheld punch and stuck them over the top. Not something I'll be doing on all my wreath cards.

The new products I used are, one of my new favourites, the Softly Falling embossing folder and the greetings from Oh, What Fun stamp set.  It's a lovely set, great for tags and great for cards.  Thank you for visiting x
