Poppystamps: Merry Holiday

Today, I’m sharing a Poppystamps card in which I’ve paired a die from the new release with one of my favorites in the Poppystamps collection.

Poppystamps: Merry Holiday
To begin, I cut the Magnificent Merry out of brushed silver cardstock. I then cut the Fremont Pine Landscape out of white cardstock. Next I die cut the Merry out of the Fremont Pine Landscape panel and carefully replaced it with the brushed silver one, making sure to include the pieces in the “m” and “e” when I did so. I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and attached it to a precut sky blue panel, adhering the scene to my card base.

Happy New Year

Happy 2013! I created this card for the “Anything Goes” Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.

Happy New Year - Paper Smooches

I’m embracing the colors and cold temps of winter! (It’s a sunny, cold day here in the Pacific Northwest.) My card uses some of my favorite card making techniques – paper piecing, die cutting and embossing.

Supplies: Echo Park Winter Wishes; Stampin’ Up cardstock (orange); The Twinery twine; McGill tag punch

Peace on Earth

For me, the holidays represent an opportunity to embrace the winter season. I also tend to be more reflective at this time of year. I wanted to create a card expressing the quietness and beauty of winter.

This card uses the same design that I used for the Sparks Challenge in October. I simply replaced the yellow birds with the red cardinal and added a glittery, soft blue background.

Supplies: Spellbinders circle dies; Stampin’ Up cardstock (red); glitter paper (Michaels); Encore ink (silver)
