Holiday Home Merry Christmas

This one is a little late today but I have created a Christmas card using the Holiday Home stamp set from Stampin' Up. Make a card base from Whisper White card stock cut to 5 ½”x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. Cut a piece of DSP from the Trim the Tree pack to 5 ¼” x 4” and wrap with a piece of ¼ white ribbon along the left side.   Adhere the panel to the card base using ATG gun. Using the flip side of the DSP used in the previous step, cut a shape out using the Fiskars frames-1 (#4589) to place over the ribbon panel, centered and toward the left. Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamp the sleigh from the Holiday Home stamp set in the top left corner with Early Espresso Classic Ink.   Stamp the house from the same set in the bottom right corner and then stamp the lamp post to the left of the house.   Stamp the Merry Christmas in Mossy Meadow Classic ink to the left of the lamp post at an angle.

Blooming Birthday Bookmark

Good morning everyone.  Today I have a simple bookmark project for you.I chose the Flower Patch stamp set to create this bookmark.  It's one of my favorites and it's so versatile. Instructions: Begin by cutting a 2" strip of Whisper White card stock.  The length is approximately 6 3/4" (will depend on the size you'd like your bookmark to be). Place the top of card stock in the Tag Topper Scalloped punch and push. Using a Stampin Sponge and Hello Honey ink, sponge all of the edges. Stamp your image choices over the white card stock.  For the larger flower image (Mossy Meadow) I stamped off once (for a lighter image) and then for the center went directly to the paper (for a darker image). Using Mossy Meadow ink stamp the sentiment in the bottom center of the book mark. In the bottom left corner stamp 3 stems (Mossy Meadow) and a flower image on top in Hello Honey ink. On a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock stamp your large flower image then die c
