On A Pedestal


I cased this idea from the birthday card Hallmark sent to me, changing a lot of details to make it different. I loved the idea of the "streamers" across the design and tried to make mine with some narrow organdy ribbon. I used Stampin' Up's On A Pedestal embossing the cake plate in silver and the cake in Rose Red craft and clear e.p. The teeny tiny silver flowers are negatives from a floral border punch (I have a hard time throwing anything away). The silver embossed sentiment is from the retired set It's Your Birthday. Cardstocks used were Whisper White, Pretty In Pink, and Brushed Silver.

Warm Winter Welcome


The paper for this is Autumn Meadows by Stampin' Up with a Chocolate Chip base. Silver brad doorknob by Making Memories, wreath made with Martha Stewart branch punch and a small sunburst punch, embellished with mini jingle bells. The sentiment sticker is by Christine Adolph, the tinsel garland I had in my craft and ribbon stash, maker unknown. I tore a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the "snowdrift" at the bottom of the door and covered the top in Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

Nature Silhouettes


This card is for my Dad who is recovering from knee replacement surgery to cheer him up. He lives on a beautiful river in South Jersey with the state forest right across the river and this reminded me of that area. Very peaceful.
The card base is Basic Black with Autumn Meadows paper, Very Vanilla, and Soft Suede. I also used the pine branch from the Autumn Days set with Soft Suede polka dot grosgrain ribbon and gold photo corners. All supplies are Stampin' Up except the photo corners.

Baby's First Christmas Shoe Ornament


Shoe template from stampington.com made into an ornament for my niece's new son. Whisper White cardstock, gold jingle bells and cording, sentiment done on computer and affixed to shoe with an acrylic circle .

Yuletide Montage Angel


I love this Stampin' Up retired Christmas set, Yuletide Montage. It is one of my favorites. I used Whisper White and Pirouette Pink cardstocks. Embossed the angel in silver and added some pink Stampin' pastels to cheeks. Elegant Bouquet embossing folder was used for the background, the dots were highlighted with markers and I added Dazzling Diamonds. White organza ribbon and Pretties Kit stick pin to complete.

Dasher


I was inspired by a card on the Martha Stewart website, changing it with stamps, glitter, sentiment, and colors. All supplies used were Stampin' Up except for mini pearls and cranberry texture paint for berries.
Card base is Mellow Moss with Sahara Sand and Bravo Burgundy. I embossed Dasher with Chocolate Chip craft and clear embossing powder. The Lovely As A Tree image was stamped with a glue pad and then Fine Cosmo glitter in Celery was added. Sentiment in burgundy is from To You & Yours set.
