JAI #333 : JUST ADD "G", WITH STAMPIN' UP! TOTALLY TREES

This week at Just Add Ink, our challenge is to "Just Add G" to a papercraft project.  It could be anything starting with "G" ... and I've chosen green, and gold, and a gratitude theme.

I started off by masking a circle in the centre of my white panel. The next step was to repeatedly stamp, then gold-emboss, one of the cute trees from Totally Trees around the circle, with the trunks not showing.  I think they're a bit reminscent of palm fronds.  After gold-embossing the trees, I stamped in Mint Macaron ink the solid overlay on each one.

My stamping and embossing is (perfectly) imperfect - which I think just enhances the charm of a handmade card, really!

Listed below are the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  In addition to those items, I used the retired Gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker, to edge the white panel.

Make sure you visit the Just Add Ink site, to see what the rest of the Design Team have created - and why not play along with us?

STAMPIN' UP! PRETTY PINES MEETS PRETTY PAISLEYS - 3 & 4

Today I am sharing the last couple of cards in my series of Christmas cards, using the Christmas Pines stamp set, Pretty Pines Thinlits dies, and Pretty Paisleys embossing folder.

The layout I've used is simple enough to make multiples of these cards in a sitting - unless, that is, you're like me, and don't like making lots of the same cards!  I get bored very easily, and need to change designs!

This first card is on a Crumb Cake card base, and the pine cones were stamped in Crumb Cake, cut out with thinlits, then overlaid with a second, more intricate pine cone die cut.

My second card is on a Garden Green card base, and the pine cones were cut from Soft Suede cardstock.  All of the pine cones have been painted with Gold Wink of Stella.

Listed below are the Stampin' Up! products I used to make these cards.  If you would like to buy them, to make the cards for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, and you'll be taken to my online store.

I hope you have enjoyed this latest series of cards, and feel inspired!

STAMPIN' UP! PRETTY PINES MEETS PRETTY PAISLEYS - 2

Hi, and welcome to the second in my latest series of simple Christmas cards, using Stampin' Up! products!

I have used the same layout as the card I shared yesterday.  In fact, I have used the same products, but have varied the sentiment and use of enamel shapes.

Please just use your imagination, and see shimmery gold highlights painted on the pinecones!

Below is a list of the products I used; if you would like to buy them, just click on one of the thumbnail images, to be taken to my online store.  If you come back to visit my blog tomorrow, I'll have another couple of cards in this series, to show you!
