25 days of Christmas- simple Window Wishes

This is a simplified version of the Window Wishes card- take a base thick white cardstock and emboss with  snowflake from the Winter embossing folder.

Take a piece of whisper white Cardstock and stamp the snowbank in Pool Party.  stamp another on a scrap piece of paper. put it on the snowbank stamped image and stamp the house using the mask  so the house image does not come below the snowbank.

 House in Smoky Slate, roof in real red and mossy meadow trees.

stamp snow in pool party and sentiment in real red and simple easy card. layer the white piece on a pice of pool party and you are done.

25 days of Christmas- Bay Window card with Window Wishes

This is such a fun card- it is a Bay WIndow card and the Window Wishes stamp set is perfect for it.

take a 11x 4 1/4 inch thick white CS base and score along the 11 inch side at 5 1/2, 6 1/4, 7 1/8, 9 5/8 and 10 1/2 as shown on the left.

I diecut the window in the center panel - the die with the small panels on the top only cuts out the holes for the window.  I used another scrap piece to diecut the frame piece with the arched top. 

I stamped the sentiment using Soft Suede on the top of the arch. using a scrap I stamped the house in Granny Apple green and roof in Soft Suede and diecut it out with a piece of white to creat the snow bank. 

Take a piece of Pool Party 2 1/4x 4 inches.  Place behind the window opening and stamp the tree with early Expresso and snow with versamark and emboss using white embossing powder and heat to set. 

Place behind the window and mount using dimenstionals to create some depth.

I used Design a Daydream DSP 2 pieces each of  4x 5/8"  and 4 x 3/4 ' strips as shown below.

 

The last piece on the far right is placed on the inside panel and leave the outside right side panel plain as shown above. 

 

Now this is the mechanism so make sure you pay attention to this:  

 take a piece of 4 1/4x 1/4 inch thick white cardstock strip and tape or glue down on the far right side of the inside panel leaving about 1/8 inch space from the edge. Now tape the last DSP piece using tape only on top of the white strip on the right side so that you leave the left side of the DSP open- this is where you will slip in the front panel to pop it up.

now tape the far left side panel to the inside panel so it stays stuck as shown on the far left in the picture to the left.  Once you slide the right front panel to the inside DSP panel it should look like this. 

take it out to mail and it mails flat- hopefully whoever receives the card will know enough about you to pop it up.

Enjoy! Lynda

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
