Lookie What I Got To Do This Weekend!

I love having 3 day weekends! We had Friday off so I got to stamp Friday and Saturday. I am making samples to show my workshop attenders Friday. My upline let me borrow some of her stamps so I had fun stamping and coloring. I wanted to make a variety of items from the mini catalog for them to see.

Here's a peek so you can see what you think.
This is a CASE of Michelle's card but mine is smaller than hers. I didn't know what size to start with for any of the cardstock, so I did what I could. I like the layered look of it and I think the snow looks okay on the tree. I've tried this before and didn't like it. This time I like it. Thanks Michelle for your beautiful tutorials. I'm going to try a brayer on soon.

I took the poinsettia stamp and stamped it once with riding hood red, turned it a bit and stamped again and got the pink color. I stamped it in garden green and cut it out and used it for leaves. The edges of the small squares are in gold. (Boy does that stuff smell!!) Christ is Born is embossed in black.....I actually remembered to use my embossing buddy this time!

I loved this set when I saw it in the catty. I enjoyed coloring it too. I used markers then liquid applique for snow. The wreath was punched out and mounted on dimensionals so it would add dimension to the card.


I used the dotted swiss folder for the background here. I loved the dots on the paper too. I put bashful blue ink on the cuttlebug folder and ran it through the machine to get the cool blue color on the card. Bashful blue cardstock with the watercolored bird mounted on black looked nice I thought. The bird was watercolored with wwc, and an aqua painter.

I love the contrast of the tree and the sky in this card. The trees were embossed with black ep. The sky is colored using bashful blue marker, then I used my dauber and sponged blue on top. The dove and saying have dimensionals under them Snow was added with liquid applique

This was watercolored on watercolor paper using wwc and an aqua painter. I stamped in kiwi on the background, added riding hood red paper and the large oval with the words and ribbon. I finally had an ah-ha moment while doing this card. Ya know how it takes so long to color around the cardinal after you stamp? Well it hit me that I could color the sky first, then stamp the cardinal!

This was watercolored on watercolor paper with wwc. I used the masking technique to add the branches in front and behind the cardinal. The words are on dimensionals. Perfect layers was used to add the black layer.

This is a small ornament or gift tag that I mad to showcase this cute little stamp. The skaters were colored with wwc and an aqua painter. The sparkling snow was added using versamark and iridescent ice ep. I used the scallop punch for all the sides and added a ribbon to hang. The woman has liquid applique for her collar and cuffs.

I embossed the image with white embossing powder then colored the trees with green marker. The sky is a copic marker. The dove is embossed using black ep. It and the saying are on dimensionals. It's a simple layout but love how the dove stands out.


Well, I think that's enough stamping for a while. I have to go do some ironing and pick up a book I started reading a while ago. I hope I remember what's going on in the book and don't have to start it over again!
May God be near and may you feel his presence wherever you go.
Bless you for stopping by.
