Wondrous Wreath Joy Card

November 21, 2014

Here is a simple Christmas card we created in November card club. I like the soft look of the Pistachio Pudding and Vanilla with pops or Garden Green and Real Red. The Filigree Frame TEIF has the perfect window opening to house the Wreath from this set. The JOY phrase was cut from Red glitter paper using the coordinating Wondrous Wreath framelits. Tip for detailed framelits: layer your glitter paper with wax paper before cutting out to allow for easier removal of the paper.

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas. Next up is Cheryl @nukumach1 Hopping today are: Anja @1stampingnightowl Bree @craftsomnia Charlet @i.heart.stamps - that's me!

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels

It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
