Christmas Gleaming Merry Christmas Card

A simple Merry Christmas card using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.  I wanted to try new neutral colors for this card.  The ornament and greeting are stamped in Early Espresso Ink and the leaves are colored in using Old Olive Blends and Crumb Cake Blends.

 

Stampin With Scraps Layout

I love when you can turn scraps into beautiful cards.  This scrap layout can give you many design options.  The scrap pieces measure 3" x 5" and cut on an angle... that's it.  For the first card I used scraps from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper and I used scraps from 'Tis The Season 6x6 Designer Series Paper for the second card.

Blessed Christmas Wreath

I wanted to wreath card but wanted to use non-traditional Christmas colors so I used Whisper White, Basic Gray, Black and Silver Foil cardstocks.  This card base measures 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" with the Silver Foil layer measuring 4" x 4".  I used the leaves from the Forever Flourishing Dies to create this pretty wreath card.  The "Blessed Christmas Wishes" sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set.

Inspired Stamping

I am calling this "Inspired Stamping" because I saw a picture of a wedding cake on Pinterest which inspired this anniversary card.  I used Gray Granite Ink and stamped off to create the flowers from the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set.  The leaves were stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink.  The Scripty 3D Embossing Folder gives a soft and elegant look to the background.

This was the inspiration behind this card.

 

Timeless Tulips and Gorgeous Grape

I love the way the tulips from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set stamped in Daffodil Delight Ink look against the Gorgeous Grape 6x6 Brights Designer Series Paper.  The DSP paper pieces measure 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", 2 1/2" x 1 3/8" and 5" x 1 1/4".
