Peace On Earth

Hello Stamping Friends!
Here today with a card inspired by the creative folks over at Merry Monday, which is an ongoing Christmas card challenge.  If you love Christmas cards as much as I do, then go take a peek at their blog and join in the fun!  

Today's card uses another of my favorite stamps from the SU Holiday Catalog, called Nature's Peace.  I love this image and wanted to make it special, as it is the total focus of the card.  So, I embossed it with a combination of Iridescent Ice and Early Espresso embossing powders.  I'm not sure the pretty shimmer shows very well in my photos, but it's the perfect touch in real life!  
I hope you enjoy this card and plan for some creative time this weekend.  

Happy Stamping,
barb

I also wanted to make the card special in and of itself, so I chose to make an easel card.  I used Under The Tree dsp for the card, and the envelope as well.  This design really puts the card on display for the recipient.  ;)

Inside:
Right after I ink distressed the cardstock, I sprinkled Iridescent Ice over the still slightly wet edges, and what stuck, I heated.  It's a subtle, sparkly touch.


A little detail:  My favorite~~pearls.

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Is LIVE and A Little Country Christmas

Hello Stamping Friends!
Good news for you today!  The Stampin' Up! new Holiday Mini Catalog  is live and orders are ready to be taken!  It's 95 degrees here in Oklahoma City, but even so, my mind is on the cooler temps of autumn and winter, and on the holidays these seasons bring.  I must tell you, I absolutely love this new country-ish designer paper in the holiday mini.  It's called Under The Tree and I'm obsessed with it!  It gives me such a warm feeling and reminds me of my simple childhood Christmases at home, with family all around our "Charilie Brown" tree. Such lovely memories.  :-)
 On to the card details:  I created this card with this Sketch in mind from The Paper Players.  They have such fun challenges over on their blog.  I encourage you to visit them and try it out.  It's really great inspiration.  So, here is my card and the sketch.  
Enjoy!

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek: Festival of Trees

Good Wednesday, folks!

Today's card is brought to you because I found two challenges that I had to take.  ;)  The first stamp set that came to mind for this sketch was the new stamp set Festival of Trees and the coordinating punch soon to be released in the upcoming Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. (Release Aug 28, 2014)  The of the other products used on this card are also in the holiday catty as well.   This color combo challenge, was my other inspiration.  I think this little card would make a really good workshop card.  Quick and easy!  ;) I hope you enjoy this card and hope it starts your Christmas card wheels a spinnin'!  

 Here is my card:
