Good Shepherd's Care

I did quite a bit of layering on this Christmas card using the Shepherd's Care stamp set which is in the Holiday Catalog. 

The image is stamped with Memento Black ink and colored in with Stampin' Blends. I used a piece of designer series paper from the Iconic Celebrations collection for the background and used Mossy Meadow card stock to mat it. There is Balmy Blue card stock matting the focal image and the card base is Misty Moonlight.

Supplies:

Shepherd's Care

Memento Black, Mossy Meadow ink

Stampin' Blends

Caring Leaves Birthday

I have been trying to figure out some fun ways to use the Season of Elegance specialty designer series paper on cards that are not Christmas themed. This birthday card uses one of the patterns in the background.

I used the Caring Leaves and Best Family Ever stamp sets pairing them with Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat and Old Olive ink. There is a piece of Cajun Craze card stock along the side that was randomly stamped with leaves as well.

The embellishments are from the Iridescent Foil Gems collection.

Wonderful Birthday

I took a couple of different patterns from the Earthen Elegance designer series paper and put together a few masculine 

birthday cards. 

I chose a base of Pebbled Path card stock and used Misty Moonlight card stock to mat the pieces of designer series paper.

The sentiment is from the Hooray for Surprises stamp set and is stamped on a die cut made with the Deckled Circles dies.

On My Mind

This card came about using lots of scraps and extra die cuts that I had on my craft table. 

I began with three strips of Bubble Bath card stock that was embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and then added a die cut made with the Radiating Stitched Dies. 

The designer series paper is from the Unbounded Beauty collection and is mounted on Berry Burst card stock. 

Finally, the sentiment from Wildflower Designs is stamped on a die cut made with the retired Stitched Rectangles Framelits.
