Stretching Your Dies (Part 2)

If you haven't seen the post I made yesterday regarding using your dies in ways other than intended, click HERE. When I started playing around with this idea, I realized there were so many other ways to use the tree dies from the Winter Woods Bundle. This was the first card I made.

Just like yesterday's card, I cut the background tree from watercolor paper and used Moss Green Brusho on it. The die I used for that tree is circled below.

For the Old Olive tree layered on top of the Brusho tree, I used the die circled below.

As you can see from the photos of the dies, they are approximately the same height. I didn't alter the Brusho tree for this card, but I did alter the Old Olive tree by just snipping off the bottom with a pair of scissors to make the tree shorter. The little red bird is from the Best Birds Bundle. I love the little pop of Real Red on this card.

I used Brusho on watercolor paper again for the tree in the front. However, I shortened it by using the die to trim the base of the tree off to make it shorter. This is similar to what I did yesterday, only I cut yesterday's tree in three pieces. I finished it off with another little red bird and a red rhinestone.

You can make this too!

Penned & Painted

There are several reasons why I love the Penned & Painted stamp set that made its first appearance in the latest annual catalog from Stampin' Up! One of the main reasons is that even though it is a two step stamping set, it is one of those that has elements that just stand on their own quite beautifully. The other thing I like about it is that you don't really have to worry too much about how you line up the images. For me, this set screams what I like to call a haphazard or artsy style, etc. All products Stampin' Up!

Don't you just love the bold sentiment from the Layering Love set? I used Watermelon Wonder Classic ink to stamp the lightest flower image, Real Red Classic ink for the darker image, Daffodil Delight Classic ink for the center and Basic Black Archival ink for the flower outline. I think the polka dot matching paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack really completed this card.

Supply list:

As a reminder, the limited time Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Branches bundle will only be available through 8/31/16 or while supplies last! Don't miss out on this amazing group of products that has so much to offer.

I'm playing along with the Global Design Project challenge (again) this week, which is a sketch challenge. This blog post will be a short one, so please let me know if you have any questions about supplies needed.

As you can see, mine is a loose interpretation of the above sketch. I made this card to give to my Husband for Valentine's Day. I just love the watercolor-y, abstract look of this card!

Mossy Meadow + Real Red

Mossy Meadow + Real Red make for a very traditional looking Christmas card. All products Stampin' Up!

I can't seem to get enough of the tree stamp from the Wonderland stamp set. Even though it, along with the word dies & embossing folder are on the retiring list...it is one I'm glad I have in my stampin' stash. The tree, pine & antler stamp will be good year round. My advice is to get your set before the January 4th deadline.

My only faux pas with this card, is that I inadvertently used a retired ribbon. However, this Real Red 1/4 cotton ribbon is available and would work just as well.

I cut 4 of the word "peace" from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies and glued them together with a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This really gives great dimension on this card, especially when paired with the Boughs & Berries embossing folder.

To recap: the stamp set, thinlits and embossing folder used to make this card are all on the retiring list, which can be found here. Retiring products will be available until January 4th or while supplies last. If you are viewing this blog post via email, you may have to hop on over to my actual blog to see the detailed supply list below.

Contemporary Christmas Card Duo

I've had such fun this weekend playing with the Tree Punch and the Ornamental Pine set. Pair all of those ideas and add in a stamping buddy who has been sending me pics of her Tree Punch cards and you end up with a stack of Tree Punch cards!

The one on the left is very similar to the one I posted here yesterday, only in black & white with a pop of Real Red cardstock thrown in for good measure. The one on the right was inspired by one my good friend Vicki Burk made, only hers was in more traditional colors and used DSP for the tree. I colored the Rhinestone Basics with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to embellish the one on the left and the Black & White Bakers Twine adds a bit of interest to the card on the right.

I just love the way this card looks with the white layer popped up with double Dimensionals.

Products list is below. If you are viewing this post in an email, you may have to click on over to my blog to see the line up.
