Stampin' Up- Reason for the Season

Hello and welcome to another post. Today kicks off my series called "Stepped Up". I make one card in a clean and simple fashion and then I make the same card that's more intricate in detail. This series will be posted on Wednesday but not sure how long it will run. Today I have a Christmas card project using some of the products from the New Holiday catalog that went live yesterday. Take a look at the projects below and let me know what you think.

For the first card I started with stamping the image on a piece of Whisper White card stock using Mossy Meadow ink and then I colored the image using a water brush and the ink colors Cucumber Crush and Real Red. I stamped the sentiment in stamped-off Mossy Meadow ink to the right of the image. Next, I adhered a piece of DSP to the bottom portion of the Whisper White panel and inked the edges in Mossy Meadow. What do you think?

Now take a look at the Stepped Up version.

On this card I heat-embossed the image with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with Gold embossing powder. I still used the water brush to color the image in and I stamped the sentiment the same way I did on the first card, then added some Woven Stitched ribbon to separate the panels. Isn't that fun?

Here are the supplies used on both cards.

Hang Your Stocking Christmas card 7-28-19

Hello crafters and welcome to some Christmas inspiration on the blog today. I am in the process of using up my stash and making as many cards as possible before the hustle bustle of the season begins.

I stamped the stocking and the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink and then stamped the snowflakes with VersaMark ink and heat set with some silver embossing powder. I love how this card came out and more inspiration is on the way. Take a look at the project below and please let me know what you think. Supplies used: .
