Seasons Greetings Set

It seems as thought I have been using the Cheers to the Years stamp set quite a bit lately for lots of different types of projects and today brings another one.  This is a card set and box that I put together using leftover pieces from the Be Merry Project Kit and some Year of Cheer specialty paper.

Each card also has a foil snowflake and a 2" circle of Merry Little Christmas designer series paper with one of the trees that were punched out when I created the Be Merry Kit rosettes.

I decorated an acetate box to match as well using the same supplies and adding some 7/8" striped ribbon which has wired in it so it can be manipulated easily.

Supplies:

Cheers to the Years

Old Olive, Basic Black ink

Old Olive card stock

Starburst punch

Rhinestones

Foil snowflakes

Year of Cheer specialty paper

acetate card box

7/8" striped ribbon

For Your Loss

Recently I made a few sympathy cards using the Sorry for Everything stamp set along with pieces of Delightful Daisy designer series paper. In the background I added some flower images from the Background Bits stamp set.

I chose to use Dapper Denim and Tranquil Tide card stock and inks and the "for your loss" is punched out with the classic label punch.

Supplies:

Sorry For Everything, Background Bits

Dapper Denim ink

Whisper White, Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide card stock

Delightful Daisy dsp

Classic Label punch

Quilted Half Full

For this card, I pulled out the Half Full stamp set again and added some extra pieces leftover from the Be Merry Project Kit - the green tulle circle and the ribbon.

The background is Pool Party that is embossed with the Quilt Top textured folder and I punched a Starburst circle out of Old Olive card stock and placed it behind the tulle circle and the wine glass. The birthday sentiment is from the Big on Birthdays stamp set.

Supplies:

Big on Birthdays, Half Full

Basic Black, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler ink and markers

Whisper White, Pool Party, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler card stock

Starburst Punch

Quilt Top textured folder

Wintery Greetings

On this card, I was again playing with the Embossing Paste although I didn't use the masks.  This time I just used a couple of the tools to layer some snow onto the Christmas Around the World designer series paper and then added some chunky glitter before it dried.

The sentiment comes from the Cheers to the Years stamp set and I die cut some trees from the Card Front Builder dies set.

Supplies:

Happy 15

This is a card I made for one of my nieces a little while ago using the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  I chose Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo for the card stock colors and added Smoky Slate and Basic Gray to the ink colors.

There is a strip of Gold Foil that is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the numbers are die cut using the Large Numbers framelits dies.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay card stock

Baptism Blessings

I really was excited to see the Inspired Events stamp set in the Catalog and Idea book when it came out.  There are lots of times when I need cards for baptism, confirmation, etc. and this set will come in very handy for that!

I chose to use some Delightful Daisy designer series paper in my background as well as a Lace doily and some rhinestones for accent and texture.

Supplies:

Inspired Events

Early Espresso, Soft Suede ink

Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Whisper White (on the inside) card stock

Delightful Daisy dsp

Lace doily

Rhinestones

Circled Birthday

When I die cut things I usually make extras for use in later projects and that is what I did with the Happy Birthday die cut awhile ago when I cut out some in Crumb Cake card stock.  The card I shared with you before needed more contrast in color between the die cut and the background so I tried a brighter background on this one.

The circle behind the die cut is made with the Circles framelits and Melon Mambo card stock.  I embossed it with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and then used glue dots to add the Happy Birthday.  To create the background, I took a piece of Fresh Fig card stock and stamped some images from the Cheers to the Years stamp set with Fresh Fig and Berry Burst ink.  You may notice that there are not full circle images in that stamp set, I kept the insides of the scribbled circle and circle with little lines to use for stamping when I put it together.

Supplies:

Cheers to the Years

Berry Burst, Fresh Fig ink

Melon Mambo, Crumb Cake, Fresh Fig card stock

Bermuda Bay mini chevron ribbon

Circles framelits

Happy Birthday thinlit

Perfect Polka dots folder
