Peaceful Dear Layered Circles Rudolph

Greetings!

There have been some beautiful stamp sets in recent years featuring reindeer.  The clincher for this year's to be the best is that it comes with a punch!  The stamp set is gorgeous!  It features deer in 3 different positions and sizes, as well as a variety of trees to create beautiful scenery for your deer, and also includes greetings and lovely messages for the inside of your card.  All this and did I mention it comes with a punch?!!  The punch makes it so fun to cut out not only the deer, but antlers, and a cute little nose!  Since it has the nose, my card I'm sharing today is featuring Rudolph.


Simply adorable!

Notice the beautiful papers for the background.  They are from the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP) featured in the Sale-a-bration catalog.  These papers are FREE with a $50 purchase now through Sept. 30, 2021.  This Peaceful Deer Bundle combined with these Peaceful Prints papers gives you a beautiful variety of options for making and sending many beautiful cards this holiday season.

Nature's Harvest Healing Thoughts

  Greetings!

The Nature's Harvest Bundle in the Jul-Dec mini catalog contains awesome dies mated with beautiful stamps and heartfelt sentiments.  If you love images of nature this is a must have set!

The large painted daisy stamp is a fabulous size to be the focal point of your card.  To keep it simple and avoid coloring, simply brush color onto a piece of light colored cardstock using the Blending Brushes, stamp the image over the blended colors and you have a gorgeous piece of art in no time!  The Bark 3D Embossing Folder brings in more nature and texture to the card.



Nature inspired beauty!

Look how rich these colors are!  The Early Espresso cardstock is the perfect color for the card base as well as the ink to stamp the flower. Cherry Cobbler is used for both the flower color and as a beautiful offset frame layer.  Old Olive pairs beautifully for the stems and as a layer to frame this gorgeous creation.

Wild Cats birthday card

 Greetings!

When the annual catalog arrived this Spring, it was a day of celebration for sure!  I love going page by page and admiring all the creativity displayed on each and every page.  When I got to the page showing the In the Wild Suite I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped!  The images and the colors in this suite are so unique and eye catching. This set features wild cats in both a standing and sitting position. You then decide if they will be Tigers or Jaguars, Cheetahs or Leopards by adding the correct stamped images to fill in their stripes or spots.  Ingenious!  The messages in this set are purr-fect for wild cats!

For today's card the Leopard was the winner.  Look how beautiful the detail is around the face!  


 

The In the Wild Designer Series Paper (DSP) made it easy to choose the colors.  Look how gorgeous these papers are...and this is only two of the 12 design/color options available in this pack.  

Gather your supplies:

  • Wild Cats Bundle (Wild Cats stamp set + Big Cats Dies - save 10% when purchased with bundle item #)
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Crushed Curry cardstock- 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded at 4-1/4" OR 4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5-1/2"
  • Evening Evergreen cardstock-5-3/8" x 4-1/8", 3" x 3" for scalloped circle 
  • Soft Succulent cardstock- 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" for circle
  • Basic White cardstock - 5 " x 3-3/4" for inside layer, 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" for cat,  4" x 1-1/4"

===============================================================

Product List
===============================================================
Here's how it's made:

Ink sitting cat image with Soft Succulent.  Stamp onto white cardstock.  Ink face outline stamp with Evening Evergreen, position over cat face, and stamp.

TIP: The Stamparatus stamp positioning tool makes getting your two-step stamping perfect every time. It's also great when wanting to stamp multiple images at once, as I did with the face and the spots.

Here is the official youtube video to show you how to use the Stamparatus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2o3rBfUiGw

Select two circle dies and one scalloped circle die to fit inside each cardstock square, position on  Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and cut.  Adhere cat onto Soft Succulent circle.  Adhere to scalloped circle using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Adhere Evening Evergreen layer to card front, attach DSP.  Position cat circle in upper center, adhere.  Adhere white cardstock strip, adhere DSP strip.  

Here's what the inside looks like:



Stamp inside message with Crushed Curry.  Adhere cardstock to inside.  Attach DSP.
Use the Simply Shammy to easily clean your Stamparatus and Clear Blocks.
