Incredibly quick and easy Christmas card made with Stampin' Up products 
from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue

As always with metallic cards, I had enormous problems photographing this card! I haven't done it justice - it looks so much prettier in person!

Such an easy but elegant Christmas card! 
Forever Gold and Plush Poinsettia Specialty Papers,  Poinsettia Die

This card continues with my exploration of the Poinsettia Place Suite and the more I use it, the more I love it!  See more here and  here.

This card was sooo quick and easy!  

I made a base card with Thick Whisper White card, then cut layers with Gold Foil Sheet and normal Whisper White.  I gave the top white layer some texture with the Subtle Embossing Folder and then adhered the gold centre piece from the Forever Gold Specialty Paper.  

TIP:  To minimise usage, I like to cut out the centres of my metallic layers, leaving a frame shape which is covered by the top layer!

With the coordinating Poinsettia Dies, it's so easy to cut out soft, velvety Plush Poinsettias!

The flower was really easy to cut from the Plush Poinsettia paper using the coordinating Poinsettia die.  Then I just added one of the Beaded Pearls to finish it off!

All of the large poinsettias on this sheet fit the die.

I hope you've enjoyed the card you've seen here on my blog today.  You are currently visiting Stephanie Fischer.

Poppy Moments Purple Sympathy Card

A sympathy card featuring the Poppy Moments Dies

As I mentioned on Friday, last week I found myself in need to two sympathy cards.  This is the second.

Using the dies and embossing folder makes this a very quick and simple card but I'm pleased with the result.  

I resisted the temptation to fill the top right corner with some bling to keep it nice and flat for its long journey to England.

So Much Love & Sympathy

 

An image from the So Much Love stamp set, coloured with three watercolour pencils

It's a bad week when I need to make a sympathy card - this is the first time I've been confronted with the need to make two in one week - words fail me.

So this one is super-easy.  A stamped image coloured with three watercolour pencils - Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White.

The second one is not quite finished as I write this, so I'll share it with you on Monday.

Thank you for visiting.

Prized Peony die cut flower on Plush Poinsettia paper

I like the versatility of many of the items in the latest Mini Catalogue
It's not all Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween!

There's always a niggling concern in my mind that the Mini Catalogue is going to be only about Christmas, Thanksgiving (which is not an Australian holiday) and Halloween (also not widely celebrated in Australia).  

So it gives me a lot of pleasure to find the versatile products.

The background for this card is one of the designs in the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper pack.  I've combined it with the Peony Dies to make  pretty birthday card.

The banner under the peony was created with the Banners Pick A Punch with is an incredibly useful tool!  And I added some Elegant Faceted Gems and Snowflake Spendour ribbon for bling!

Items from the August-December Mini Catalogue will become available in my online store next week.

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time!

Christmas cards: Heat Embossed Poinsettia Petals Bundle with Plush Poinsettia

Poinsettia Petals Bundle with Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper in traditional colours

Following on from Friday's card, more fun with the Poinsettia Petals Bundle from the Poinsettia Place Suite.

This time I heat embossed the images from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and cut them out with the coordinating Poinsettia Dies before arranging them onto a layer of the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.

For both cards I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and cut the label out with one of the Ornate Frames dies.  For the top card I also used Shaded Spruce card and ink, All The Trimmings ribbon and Wonderful Gems

Slightly less traditional colour scheme for this Xmas card made with Poinsettia Petals Bundle

For the second card I used  white heat embossing, Pretty Peacock card and ink, Beaded Pearls, Elegant Faceted Gems and Snowflake Splendor ribbon.

Items from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue will be available from 4 August.
