Simple one layer Christmas

With so much talk on the demo side of Splitcoast stampers of simple one layer cards I wanted to play with my Papertrey Inc set Believe to get my creative mind thinking because I have a workshop to prepare for this week. I also took out my Lovely as A Tree set from Stampin up on this card.


I decided to do alittle reverse masking on it too. Ink used on this card was Bashful Blue and classic black. I then colored my tree in with my Stampin Up markers. and of course I had to add alittle dimension to the card using crystal effects on the berries in the tree.



I took a piece of my Bashful blue taffeta ribbon and a piece of silver cording to finish this card off. Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. i really need to go do some more stampin...

EDITED on 9/23 I could not believe this but guess what my blog is a year old....

Trying a few challenges...

Today I decided to try a few challenges over on Splitcoaststampers... My first attempt was ok...


Supplies for this card can be found listed HERE.

This Challenge was entitled LSC130 oldies but goodies. We had to combine an old color challenge and an old sketch challenge. I used Sketch challenge SC50 and color challenge CC27. I didn't quite stick to the color challenge as it was to use only handsome hunter, taken with teal and green galore. I added in some red and yellow stickles. Not to thrilled with it but it is not too bad either...

On to the next challenge....

This was the sketch challenge for this week SC 138. This card I liked. Of course I had to take a close up of the tree for you to see all the details and sparkles... isn't it pretty.

Hope you all have a great weekend... we will be doing lots of yard work so maybe I will get a chance to play sometime....

Challenge card for Janurary

I made this card actually last month for someone special but I like it so much I am going to use it for my Christmas card challenge card on splitcoaststampers for this month. This is such a great challenge you make ten cards a month and share with the group the one to post hers first gets a prize. It helps get your cards made up for next christmas quicker so your not making them at the last minute.

To make this card I took Stampin Up's lovely as a tree stamp and stamped it twice without reinking to give it some depth. I used whisper white cardstock, brushed silver, and brocade blue. For the sentiment I took Happy holidays from the stampin up hostess set warmest regards. To add some sparkle to the card i took my gellyroll stardust pen and outlined the trees and the words.... I really thought this turned out really cool.
