Frosted Gingerbread Pages

Christmas layouts are so fun to create for me. I love all the bright colors and fun patterns that is associated with Christmas. 

Here is one of the fun layouts that I made recently with the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite.

I started with Real Red 12 x 12 cardstock. I cut the  designer series paper to 2" x 6" strips. I picked the order of the patterns and adhered the papers to the tops of the cardstock. 

This suite had a Memories and More pack as part of it and I used two of those cards to help accent the layout. I also die cut the star, ornament, bell and snowflake from Cinnamon Cider and Basic White to layer together for accent pieces. A little bit of ribbon helped finish these pages.

Working with the 6 x 6 papers is a challenge for me at times. I'm not always sure how to use them on scrapbook pages. I love the way these pages turned out though. I may have to do this layout, or one similar again.

Many of these supplies are no longer available but you can still click on the pictures below to be taken to my online store and see what is available!

Happy Stampin'!

Happy Hedgehogs

Happy Hedgehogs is the focus for my Class to Go right now. You have until February 20 to let me know you want to participate in this class. You have three options to choose from to fit your budget and needs. All three options come with Watercolor Pencils, one Blender Pen, the supplies to make six cards and a PDF tutorial

Calming Camellia

Sale-a-bration always has amazing goodies that you can get for free. One is this fantastic stamp set called Calming Camellia. This set can be yours with a $300 workshop. Let's plan a day to create with some of your friends and get this set into your hot little hands!

I started with Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I stamped the camellias with Cherry Cobbler ink and then colored in the flowers with a blender pen and white craft ink. My re-fill for my craft ink needed to be shaken up more before I used it as it was sitting for a while. I ended up putting two coats of ink on the flowers. You probably wouldn't have to if your ink is all mixed. This technique is called whitewash.

I did create this card on a Facebook Live. You can watch that HERE. 

Festive Foliage

Did you notice this large background stamp in the July-December mini catalog? It was pretty easy to miss but WOW is it easy to use and make some fantastic cards! This background is called Festive Foliage.

I heat embossed the image onto Evening Evergreen with gold embossing powder. I wrapped that layer with Soft Succulent ribbon and added the greeting which was also heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Super simple! This would be really easy to mass produce.

Merry Scrapbook Pages

I truly love the challenge of creating scrapbook pages. Cards come much easier for me but pages take a bit more work and time. I also love to design paper around a stamp set. Sometimes though, the designer series paper just calls my name and I must create!

This paper was in the June to December mini catalog. It is called Whimsy & Wonder. It had a coordinating stamp set and dies but I was not as intrigued by them so I didn't purchase them. There is no stamping on these pages. 

The base for these pages is 2 pieces of Mossy Meadow 12" x 12" cardstock.
