3D Scentsational Season Tree

I almost forgot that there are other cute stamps and matching die cuts for the Scentsational Season set with my obsession of the gingerbread man :)

Also used Be of Good Cheer designer paper, Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler, and Very Vanilla cardstocks. Cherry Cobbler taffeta ribbon, Sizzix Scallop Circles 2 die, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder, and Greetings of the Season for sentiment. I cut three of the tree for the 3d effect. This will mail flat if you just move one of the tree parts to one side. Added some "berries" in Cherry Cobbler marker.

Pumpkin shaped card

Stampin' Up Autumn Days and Very Thankful for sentiment on Whisper White cardstock with a Pumpkin Pie base. Spellbinders Nestabilities pumpkin dies that were stamped with an old Cornish Heritage Farms background trees stamp.

Scallop Punch Flower

Some Thanksgiving cards made using the Stampin' Up scallop punch and retired Autumn Vine paper. The turkey was an idea from the SU demo's magazine from 2008 that I have been wanting to try. The body is a 1 3/8" circle, head is 3/4". Feet are from the three flower punch. Sentiment from Very Thankful set.

To make the scallop punch flower, first count out five scallops and fold that portion down. Turn this over as seen in second picture and fold in hlaf to form crease in the middle, then unfold. Step 3: Fold flat edges down from each side to line up with the center crease. Four of these will make the full flower shown.

Christmas Blocks

Inspired by a sample card in the Papercrafts Holiday Cards issue, I modified it a bit, keeping the layout. Stampin' Up supplies were used for this: Greetings of the Season stamp set in Real Red and some retired SU holiday designer paper. This is a great design to make in multiples once you get going with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" punches and it is a nice, flat mailable design.

Simply Soft

Stampin' Up Simply Soft colored in Copic markers and shaded with chalk pastels. Cardstocks: Not Quite Navy and Whisper White.

All Tucked In

One more with the Scentsational Season gingerbread stamp and some candy canes. I tucked the images in behind the Old Olive strip that was embossed with Petals-a-Plenty folder. Real Red card base was embossed with Northern Flurry folder.

My white gel pen was running dry but I felt the card needed a little bit more to make it pop. I used an embossing stylus dotted with white acrylic paint. Remember the days when we actually dry embossed everything by hand, with a stylus and a light table?? Wow, thank goodness for the Big Shot.
