Enough of the technical stuff....
I wanted to share something extra special for today's hop but I really had a hard time deciding what that should be so here are a few of my recent favorites...
For this card, I stamped the poinsettia on DP two times, fussy cut one image then cut out some of the petals from the other image to layer on top of it for dimension. I do love how it turned out.
| Stamps: Poinsettia (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) |
| Paper: Christmas Home (Teresa Collins) |
| Ink: Versafine, Copic for shading of flower |
| Accessories: gold cord, gold stickles, scallop die (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps), holly embossing folder (Sizzix) |
For this card, I did two things I rarely do anymore...heat embossing and sponging.
| Stamps: Old-Fashioned Christmas, Snowflake Flourish, Christmas Sentiments (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) |
| Paper: white CS |
| Ink: Royal Satin Kaleidacolor pad, versamark, versafine black |
| Accessories: ribbon, white embossing powder, corner rounder |
And finally for this one I used a whole bunch of stamp sets to create this Christmas collage. I just love a country Christmas! :)
| Stamps: Vintage Ornaments, Vintage Postcard, Grunge Borders, Holiday Baubles, Light of Christmas Background (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) |
| Paper: brown CS, kraft CS, Webster's Pages, flecked white CS |
| Ink: Cranberry (CTMH), Rich Cocoa (Memento), Copics |
| Accessories: pearls & twine |
I hope you enjoy today's hop and find yourself inspired to create some of your own beautiful creations!

Happy Birthday!!! I was a brand new stamper last year when I followed your 4th birthday celebration!!! Your cards are incredible!!! They always are amazing!!!! That Poinsettia card is jaw dropping!!!! I have your snowman stamp set, the one where you can't see his eyes because he is looking up and has a huge smile on his face! I can't help but smile whenever I look at the card I made with him!!! I made it my wallpaper for awhile! Wishing you much success in the coming year!
Hi Korin! The poinsettia is stunning. I love the idea of stamping it on DP twice and then layering part of it. Never thought of that. Thanks for sharing the idea.
