You Are Loved Stamp Set

The card base is cut from Basic White card stock. It's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the paper.

I cut a piece of Neenah paper and colored it with the Distress Oxide inks that created a beautiful blue sky. The paper I colored is glued flat to the card base using wet glue.

I cut clouds and the snow drifts using the Slimline Clouds and Slimline Wavy Edgers dies. The clouds are glued down flat with wet glue as is the back snow drift. The front two snow drifts are popped up with foam tape to get it some added dimension. Make sure the foam tape is only along the bottom edge of the snow drifts so you have room to layer the fabulous tree between them.

My beautiful tree is layered between the back two snow drifts. Obviously you can layer them however you would like.

                    

You are loved has some fabulous sentiments that you can use to create such fun cards. Deck the Halls is stamped with Azure Afternoon ink and cut out with a scalloped circle. It's popped up with foam tape.

I can't WAIT for Christmas. It's my favorite season?

Snow Ladies Stamp Set

The card base is cut from Real Red card stock. It's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the paper.

I cut a piece of Neenah paper and colored it with the Distress Oxide inks. Just created a random pattern that would show through the holes in the Silver Foil. The paper I colored is glued flat to the back of the paper with the holes in it and the entire piece is glued directly to the card base using wet glue.

I used the Connected Oval die to cut the shape from a piece of Basic White card stock. It's glued with wet glue to the Silver Foil.

My two beautiful Snow Ladies are raised up with foam tape right in the center of the Connected Ovals piece. Obviously you can arrange them however you would like.

 

Snow Ladies has 6 fabulous sentiments. I stamped 'Merry Christmas' on Basic White card stock using Real Red ink. I cut it out with my Stitched So Sweetly die that I love so much. Creates a great visual with a fun border.

The card base is cut from Parakeet Party card stock. It's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the fold.

I cut a piece of Summer Splash patterned paper to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". Colors are perfect to be the background for my little tea cups. It's glued directly to the card base using wet glue.

I cut three pieces of card stock (Pumpkin Pie, Tahitian Tide, Polished Pink). They are 2 1/2" x 1 1/2". I layered pieces of Summer Splash that are cut to 2 3/8" x 1 3/8" on top of the three pieces of card stock. I cut another piece of Summer Splash to 5 1/4" x 3" and glued a piece of Parakeet Party cut to 2 1/2" x 1/7/8" on the bottom half (this is the piece with the dots on it in the bottom right corner).

For the assembly, I glued the long piece of patterned paper to the left edge with the Parakeet Party square at the bottom. Then I randomly layered the three pieces under the tea cups across the card from the upper right edge to the lower left edge. The tea cups are popped up with foam tape on top of them.

I love all the sentiments that are part of this stamp set. "But First Tea". Isn't that always true! I stamped the sentiment on a die cut tea cup. It's popped up with foam tape too.

For a little added fun I used Enamel Effects to create a little wispy smoke effect on top of the Parakeet card stock.

All my mornings are good when I start with Tea...

The card base is cut from Night of Navy card stock. It's cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" on the long side. Just a tip I learned. Make sure you use your bone folder and burnish the fold well so it doesn't tear the fold.

I cut a piece of beautiful patterned paper to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and rounded the corners with the corner rounder punch. Colors are perfect to be the background for my little coffee cups. I cut a piece of Polished Pink to a size of 3 7/8" x 2 5/8". I cut a second piece of the patterned paper to 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" and glued directly to the piece of Polished Pink using wet glue. I did round the corners before I glued it down.

I cut another piece of Polished Pink using the Connected Rectangles die. It's wet glued at a wonky angle to the back of the smaller piece I created above. They are both wet glued directly to the background in the center of the card.

I glued the Night of Navy piece cut with the Build A Frame stitched die across the top of the card and the Double Stitched Chevron to the bottom with foam tape. The fabulous coffee cups (and the point of the card) are glued down with foam tape at different angles for a little more added fun.

I love all the sentiments that are part of this stamp set. They are all so true when it comes to coffee!

But first Coffee...
