Lovely As A Tree

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are well and that my friends in Old Shasta and Redding areas are safely evacuated because of the fire!  I'm praying, and hope that you will pray also, that no lives are lost and homes can be saved...it's a terrible fire!!

I have a beautiful card to share with you today!  It was inspired by a post on a friends Facebook page. Thank you Linda for sharing this!

I LOVE the words in this as well as the colors!  It's a beautiful quote and the colors are STUNNING!  It truly inspired me to create!  I hope it will inspire you too!

I also was challenged to create a card using the Lovely As A Tree stamp set....below is my card.

My card base is Blueberry Blush with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I also cut a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White cardstock and used my sponge brayers to create the background.  I used blueberry Blush, Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay for the top then Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry for the bottom.  The trees are stamped with Memento Black ink using the Lovely As A Tree stamp set.  Before attaching the two layers to the card base I tied a bow with a piece of White Baker's Twine around the top of the image. The sentiment is from the Hand Delivered stamp set.  Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!



That's it for today!  Thanks BUNCHES for stopping by!  Have a great rest of your day...BE SAFE!!!

Christmas Themed Facebook Hop!

Hello everyone! Golly, it's been a busy day! I worked at both of my part-time jobs!  Both took a while so I just arrived home!  Here I am FINALLY blogging! 

Tonight at 5pm PST I'll be participating in a Facebook Hop! You can click on the Facebook Icon to the right of this post and it should take you to my Stampin' UP! Facebook page where you can follow the hop!  

Here's what I'll be sharing on the hop!

Every month at my church we have a DOTK (Daughter of the King) meeting...I think I've mentioned it here before. We eat dinner together, pray, visit and sometimes we CREATE!  Last month I was able to teach the ladies how to make these cards!  I had a BLAST!!

I wanted to keep the card very simple because most ladies had never made cards before. This card has a Whisper White base, layer one is Basic Black and layer two is Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. I pre-cut ovals using my Stitched Shapes framelits and each lady used the Lovely as a Tree stamp set to stamp the tree in Pear Pizzazz Ink. A piece of Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Shimmery Ribbon is wrapped around the  first and second layers and then the stamped tree image is adhered with dimensionals! The fun thing about this card, especially where we live, is that it can be used for more than just Christmas! 

The next card that we created has a Basic Black cardbase with a layer of Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper.  I pre-cut ovals again using my Stitched Shapes framelits and another piece of Merry Little Christmas dsp. The trees were also pre-cut using the Card Front Builder Framelits and are cut in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.  The trees are attached to the oval with dimensionals and the oval is attached to the base also using dimensional.  A bow was tied with a piece of 1/8" Real Red Solid Ribbon and was attached with Multipurpose glue and a Clear Faceted Gem was added to the top of the bow.

There were some Christmas sentiments available to choose from to add to the inside of the cards. It was a really FUN evening!

That's it for today!  THANKS BUNCHES for stopping by! I LOVE what I do and LOVE to share it with you...and others!

Lovely As A Tree

Good Morning! So...I'm on my way to Salt Lake City for OnStage! I'm traveling with a dear friend and am so happy to be spending time with her! It's gonna be so much FUN catching up with team members and meeting new ones and I CAN'T WAIT to see the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs!!! YIPPEE!!!

I wanna share a card I made a while back using the Lovely As A Tree stamp set. My card base is Night of Navy with the first layer in Whisper White. Next I used a piece of Glossy White paper, dropped a few drops of Night of Navy and Island Indigo ink on it and spritzed it with water. I used a baby wipe to pick up excess ink. After it was dry, I heat embossed the tree with Silver embossing powder after stamping it with VersaMark! Last I added the star cut from Silver Foil paper using the Bethelem Edgelit Dies. The 1/8" Silver Ribbon finishes it off nicely! It's such a gorgeous card...and simple to create...the photo doesn't do it justise!




Here's What I Used!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I know there are lots of blogs out there you can follow and I am THRILLED that you follow mine! Have a TERRIFIC day!
