25 days of Christmas- Cottage wreath with pearlized enamel effects


this is another variation of the gatefold magnet card.

base card is pool party.  the right panel is embossed using winger 3D embossing folder. The left panel is stamped with the holly and berry from the cottage wreath set but stamped off each time to create a soft background.  the center panel is pool party and whisper white stamped with pool party wreath, then branches tih early expresso as well as the sentiment. then the berry with real red.  then I went over it with the Pearlized enamel effects and set it aside to dry it out for a few hours and I love the bumpy dimensions on the berries.

25 days of Christmas- Christmas Scottie

 

Isn't this a fun little card- and so easy!  I had stamped and punched out a bunch of the scotty dog and was playing with it . Base card is real red.  then a whisper white cardstock with the ribbon border stamped all around .

then stamped the sentiment in memento Tuxedo black.  

I used the stamparatus to stamp the scotty dog so I could repeat stamp and get a really good solic image.  

I somehow lost the little bow stamp ( you know I had it on my table and I am sure it is stuck on the bottom of some tool and I am sure i will find it some day)  but for now I am using the 3/8 inch real red ribbon which I think looks great- so maybe it is not a bad thing that I lost the ribbon stamp and had to find another say to deal with this... Mount the dog with dimensionals and another easy peasy card-

25 days of Christmas- Sweet Candy Canes and Christmas Banners


 Don't you just love this set?  

The base card is thick white CS as always- I love the heft.
The DSP is from Heartwarming hugs (retired) 
Stamp the greenery from the Christmas Banners set in pear pizazz, old olive and Mossy Meadow and poppy parade berries on a whisper white CS. If this was all diecut it would have taken forever but becuase I just stamped the images, it was easy peasy.  Diecut the candy cane and stamp the cane with poppy parade - I used the stamparatus to stamp the candy cane few times to get a really good solid color and mounted it using dimensionals.
Stamp the banner in old olive and stamp the sentiments in Poppy Parade and mount with dimensionals

25 days of Christmas- Scotty Dog Double Fold easel A2 card


I saw this card ( https://www.inspiringinkin.com/2022/07/christmas-scottie-dog-double-easel-fun-fold-card-video ) with a double easel but I wanted to make it into a A2 card so I tweaked it to make it so. 
My card is shown above.
This is what it looks like on its side
and this is how it looks from the back. 
  
This is really an easy card to make- take a 5 1/2x 8 1/2 inch cardstock and score is if you are making a horizontal A2 card. cut the top 1 1/2 inch. so you are left with a 5 1/2 x 7 inch cardstock. make a vertical cut from the top to the fold line as shown and score diagonally from the outside to the center score line as shown. and that is it! so easy. 
fold over the score line as shown- it should look like a shirt collar.  and the front triangle above is where you will put the tape and adhere the 2 3/4 inch square pieces .


The 2 square pieces will fold down to mail and the bottom of the image will be on the inside as shown above.

I stamped the check piece in Tahitian tide and put another dog - punched out and mounted on dimensionals so it can hold the feet of the easel. 
stamp the sentiment and the ribbons in poppy parade on either side as shown. 

This would be a perfect template for any 2 images side by side or a photo on one side and sentiment on the other- and so easy.
i was just trying to come up with the template but you can decorate it up the wazoo as much as you may wish.

Enjoy!  Lynda

25 days of Christmas- Cottage Wreath Door


This was one of the projects for my October Stampin with Lynda class. The whole A2 card becomes the door and you need 2 incremental panels for the doors. 

the one above just had the plain panels; the one on the left is exactly the same with the whole door and the front panels embossed with the Timber embossing folder.

the front panel was mounted with dimensionals 

the top panel back is 2 x 1 5/8

the top panel front is 1 3/4 x 1 3/8

the bottom panel back is 2 1/2 x 1 5/8

the bottom panel front is 2 1/4 x 1 3/8

stamp the wreath in old olive and diecut the ribbon from poppy parade CS . 

stamp the sentiment on a 1/2 band. mount them with dimensionals.

I did add an opal round as a door knob 

 Love how the wreath has all these dimensions although just one ink. so cool.

Enjoy! Lynda
