Embossing Folder

I love this card!!!! What makes this card look great is the embossing folder I used for this card. The in-colors make it look really nice, too. I love the Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo combination.

As you can see it didn't take much to make this card. I embossed the Melon layer. I then used my circle punch and Scallop Circle punch to frame the words which I put on the card with a dimensional. I then added ribbon along the edge to bring it all together. I have started to layer my ribbon and it adds an extra dimension.

Happy In-color stamping! Britni :)

Sewing Friends

Not a Christmas Card....crazy!

Well, I used Puns from the Past for this card. I do love this set because because of this stamp. I love the antique sewing machine.

I layered Rose Red, Regal Rose, and Certainly Celery. Using the Spiral Punch along the edge gave me a nice place to put the ribbon through. I kept this card simple and sweet. Cards don't have to be complicated to look good.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Glitter Christmas

Can you tell that I love this time of year? I love to prepare for Christmas and I love winter. That is why you are seeing so many Christmas cards.

This card was inspired by a card that I saw on a blog. I changed it a little for my personal preference. I started by stamping the trees from Patterned Pines in Bermuda Bay. I then drew a line under the trees using my Glue Pen so that way I could use my glitter. I then stamped a snowflake and cut it out. I attached a brad and popped it up with a dimensional.

I also used Four the Holidays on this card.

Sorry that the second picture is a little fuzzy, but I wanted to show you the small little border stamp that comes with this set. It makes a nice frame for the inside of the card.

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Christmas in 3-D

Check out my Diroma Card! I love how it turned out. These cards are not hard to make and turn out really nice. They also fit in a open ended envelope in our catalog.

The supplies I used for this project are: Garden Green Paper, Ruby Red Paper, Snow Swirled Stamp Set, and Circle Punches.

Card club girls....you get to make this project this month! Get Excited!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Dasher is at it again!

If there is one Christmas stamp that I think you should get this year....okay wait two sets that I think you should get this year - Dasher and Four the Holidays. You could make a lot of cards just using these two and they are both inexpensive!

For this card I was inspired by another card I saw on a blog. I started with Old Olive as the base and layered with Merry Moments DSP, Chocolate Chip (which I used my Scallop Punch), and another stripe of Old Olive.

I love how Dasher looks on this Crisp Whisper White along with the words from Four the Holidays.

Feel free to use this card and make some holiday cards of your own.

Happy Christmas Stamping! Britni :)

Christmas Boxes...Hot Chocolate

Tomorrow I will be stamping with some of my fellow stampers. We will be working on Christmas cards. We will be in the Christmas spirit by the end of the day.

I love to give a gift when I know the stampers will be working extra hard. All the ladies that are joining me tomorrow will receive a little Fancy Favor Christmas Box with hot chocolate mix and mini marshmallows. YUM!

These boxes are so easy to make once you cut the shape out on the Big Shot. When using DSP that is almost all you need to do. For this gift I did add a little Just For You note punched out with my circle punch and then layered with anther circle and the Snowflake punch! (Thanks for letting me borrow that Mom!)

I hope they enjoy their gift! Have a wonderful weekend and I hop you are starting your Christmas cards!

Happy Stamping! Britni :)

Tags, Tags!

It isn't time to start wrapping your gifts yet, but that doesn't mean you can't plan ahead. In the past I have spent hours making beautiful tags to put on packages for my family. I will admit, I had a blast and it was worth every minute.

Now, this year I will be saving a lot of time that I could spend making home-made gifts and cookies for my family and friends!

All I need is my Two Tag Die for the Big Shot, some card stock, and some stamps. You really don't have to complicate it by adding a lot to them. These tags are cute just the way they are. I of course love stamping on them, though.

I hope you enjoyed my sample today. Let me know if you have any questions, need help with gift giving ideas/wrapping, etc. I am here for you!

Happy Tag Making! Britni :)
