Hello, crafty friends and welcome back to another fun challenge at Sunday Stamps!  This week we are working with a sketch: A classic sketch layout with a little extra "something" on the bottom left hand side.  You can change the shape of the heart to anything you want.  Here's what I made using the Merriest Wishes Bundle . A Christmas card using the rich colors of Night of Navy and Whisper White with a splash of Silver.   To create the front panel, I first embossed a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock using the Holly Embossing folder  and then added strips of the Floral Boutique Designer Washi Tape  to the center.   NOTE: The Floral Boutique Designer Washi Tape is part of my FREE gift offer for the month of November!   See my Online Rewards page  HERE .   To create the layered sentiment, I stamped  "Be Joyful" with Versamark ink and embossed it with Silver Stampin' Emboss powder.  I...

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have a gift/money card holder I made using the beautiful Christmas Pines Bundle and matching Pine Bough Textured embossing folder . This is a super easy card to recreate.  On the inside, there is a 1 1/4" flap that folds the Mint Macaron card base up to hold a gift card.  We made a similar gift card holder at my Make and Take class back in October.  I am so happy that Stampin' UP! came out with a pine bough stamp set and matching framelits!  I have been waiting patiently for this! :) Supplies: STAMPS : Christmas Pines Bundle ( 143496 ) INK : Versamark ( 102283 ) PAPER: Mint Macaron ( 138337 ), Very Vanilla ( 101650 ), Garden Green ( 102584 ) ACCESSORIES: Pretty Pines Thinlits ( 143496 ), Gold Foil Sheets ( 132622 ), Gold Embossing powder ( 109129 ), Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes ( 141678 ) November Hostess Code Offer!!    Receive the  Floral Washi Boutique Designer Washi Tape  and th...

Hello, crafty friends! Welcome back to another challenge at Sunday Stamps!  This week we are working with some FABULOUS fall colors!

I also used the Cable Knit  and Softly Falling embossing folders.  The sentiment is from the Remarkable You stamp set . You have until F...
