Pretty Pines Thinlits - DSC#207 Challenge

Hi Stampers,

It has been a few weeks since I was able to do a  card blog post, because my personal life has just been a little crazy lately.  But here is a look at this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#207 Sketch Pad Challenge! For this card I used my new Pretty Pines Thinlits. I have to tell you that the pine ferns made from these Thinlits are outstanding!  They are so fine and delicate.  You will just fall in love with this set!

I absolutely love the way that this card came out!  I'm not sure if  I'm ready for the Holidays coming so quickly, but it is just around the corner so here is a Christmas Card for you.

The finishing touch was to add the little piece of gold cording.

Basic Instructions:

• Cut Whisper White CS base 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and score at 4-1/4". (You will also need scrap for the banner).
• Cut Real Red CS @ 4" x 5-1/4" and another one @ 1" x 3-3/4". (You will need scrap for the berries).
• Cut Whisper White CS @ 3-3/4" x 5", then emboss using Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
• Cut (1) medium size and (3) small pine fern using the Pretty Pines Thinlits. 
• Cut 1 pieces of Real Red 3/8" (1 Cm) Stitched Satin Ribbon for a bow and 8" of  Gold Cording Trim.
• Add 2 Gold Sequins (I removed from them from the Gold Sequin Trim) .
• Using a scrap of Whisper White CS stamp the sentiment using Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad and the Seasonal Bells Clear-Mount Stamp Set  then cut out using the Bunch Of Banners Framelits Dies.
• Envelope Liner was made with the Envelope Punch Board and the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper.

Hi Stampers,

Starting November 1, you can purchase the NEW Stitched Shapes Framelits ahead of their official release in the 2017-2018 annual catalog. With the Stitched Shapes Framelits you can make thoughtful paper stitches in seconds, turning any project into one that is stitched from the heart. And during the month of November, coordinating stamp sets are 25% off! But don’t worry…Stitched Shapes Framelits will still be available for purchase after November 30. Stampin Up is allowing you to purchase these early before they actually come out in new catalog.  I ordered mine right away as they coordinate also with the other Stampin Up circle, ovals and squares and the below stamp sets work with them too.  It looks like the cut has sewing stitching on them.  Really neat!   Watch the video below for more information.

Googly Ghouls Jar of Love Card - DSC#201

Hi Stampers,

Halloween is almost here.....take a look at my Halloween Card for this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#201 Home Sweet Home Challenge! I really wanted to start using my new Jar of Love Stamp Set & Framelits Die Bundle and knew that I wanted something crazy hanging in the jar, Well...I found the perfect spider hanging from a web in an older stamp set of mine called  Googly Ghouls.   That black paper spider web was last years Spider Web Doilies, they are now sadly discontinued, and I really really miss them.  I wish that Stampin Up would bring them back!

I had fun creating an idea for this week's challenge!  Halloween Cards are always fun to design and designing them lets the less serious side of your personality come out.

The finishing touch was to add the little google eyes on both of the characters!

Always enjoying reading your comments!
