Pines and Poisettias – Stamper's Blog

This card is similar to one I did last year – simple and sweet. It uses Pines and Poinsettias and Four the Holidays.

On this card I used Dazzling Details – but found that Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds works better on the small images. This also used the Designer Frames to highlight the pine cone.

Supplies

Stamp sets – Pines and Poinsettias, Four the Holidays

card stock – Shimmery White, Real Red

Ink – Chocolate Chip

Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive

Etc – Designer frames, Old Olive 1/8 ribbon, Dazzling Details

I’m working on a special gift for all my blog friends! Hope to have the directions ready to go tomorrow – but here’s a peek at what I have for you

Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Here’s a birthday scene created for my neice – and I hope she’s already recieved it since I’m going ahead and sharing it! This crazy card uses so many sets it even makes me blush! But I’ll try to walk you through it. The front is created with, mainly, the super fun Big Top Birthday Designer Series paper and Bring on the Cake stamp set. Since I really don’t own any sets that go with this paper – I paper pieced images from the paper itself.

The little clown and stong man are cut from the DSP and popped up on dimensionals –

The strong man’s “thingie that he holds up” has card stock circles applied over top and covered with Crystal Effects – and there is Crystal Effects on the clown’s buttons.

And then the inside!

It’s hard to photograph because the balloons are on the now retired spiral (cut from acetate) from the Table Setting die. They “float” up as you open the card.

There’s a pop-up banner, some flowers, clouds – well, just lots of stuff! The birds holding the Happy Birthday are from Easy Events – the banner from Pines and Poinsettias – the words from Teeny Tiny Wishes! Pennant Parade is on the pennant, the ballons are from Party This Way- just lots and lots of stuff!

How crazy is this? Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
