Christmas Angel

Hello, once again!  This has been a hard month for blogging and card making due to my shoulder surgery, but I will prevail!  Even with some nerve damage in my right hand (and I'm right-handed) I am still making the attempt to stamp and blog one-handed!  Nothing is gonna keep this crafter down!  It's actually part of my healing therapy!

Christmas in the Air, Part 2

Hi, there!  I have two more Christmas cards to share with you, made with some of the brand new Christmas stamps from Chocolate Baroque.  This first one was made using the huge 5" by 5" Big Bold Background Tangled Baubles stamp.  I re-stamped an ornament twice, cut it out, then scored the two down the middle and adhered just on the score lines to the front of the card.  On the main image, I heat embossed it in gold then shaded it with red and green glittered 3-D stamp paint.  With the addition of a gold sprig, and a few gold pearls, this card is complete.  This was a very easy card to make.

This next card is one of my favorites.  Whenever I think of Christmas, I remember that Christ the King was born, and he's royalty!  I love using purple and gold for these cards, for that reason. 

























This card was made using the Gothic Angels set, shown below.  Love it!  That lettering is fantastic!



Wishing you a wonderful Christmas in August!

Christmas in the Air, Yes, Already!

Hello, Friends!  I am so excited about the new Chocolate Baroque Christmas Stamps!  They are absolutely gorgeous!  I've combined some of the new stamps with older ones, to create a couple of cards. 

For the background on this card, I used the new Big Bold Background Holly stamp, and when I say big, I mean BIG!  These new backgrounds are a huge 5" by 5", with lots of varying surface details!  I stamped the Holly background with an olive green ink onto white cardstock, then shaded the leaves and berries with green and red 3-D stamp paint.  It's a new product that I found at a craft convention, and it's just amazing what it does!  I used a sponge dauber to apply this creamy, sparkly paint, which dries almost instantly.  I used a new die to cut the red, green and white lattice layers, and the sentiment tag.  "Yuletide Greetings" is from the new Chocolate Baroque Christmas set, Gothic Angels.  I re-stamped a few of the holly leaves, cut them out, then layered them at the bottom of the tag, with three red berries (red pearls).

This next card looks so elegant but was a very easy one to do.  Again, I used shades of teal ink, and gold 3-D stamp paint applied with a sponge dauber to create an old-timey look.  It adds such a sheen!  I used stamps from the Gothic Angels set, some printed paper, and a tree stamp from the Christmas Flourish set, shown below.  I heat embossed the larger script stamp image, and the tree in gold.

 

 

Thanks so much for taking a few moments out of your busy day to come by!  I appreciate your comments, too!

Poppy Meadow

Hello, all!  Here in Tennessee, we have had a fairly mild summer.   It's been around 10 degrees lower on average all summer, but I'll bet we'll see some of the hot stuff before Autumn arrives.  We've had quite a bit of rain, so there are a lot of flowers in bloom.

Speaking of blooming - you're going to want to get this new set of gorgeous floral stamps from Chocolate Baroque, called Poppy Meadow!  This set compliments a few other sets from Chocolate Baroque, and they are fantastic to mix and match with! 

 

Here is the set, and if you click on the name or the photo, you will fly directly to the Chocolate Baroque website page, where you can get more details on the fabulous set which will become a fave!
