Somehow I missed coloring this embossing folder from the SSS Sending Cheer release until today. I am so glad I found it in my basket of products to use! It is called the Deluxe Bouquet Embossing Folder as shown here:

Flowers? To color? On an embossing folder? Yes I’m in! Here is my card:

I feel like I always color flowers the same colors (pink, coral, red, more pink) so I decided to color them purple today. Not sure I like it to be honest! I’ll be back to my usual color palette next time! I embossed the Deluxe Bouquet EF using white cardstock. I colored it with Copics. I used colored pencils also on the flowers but I don’t like how they look – the lines aren’t smooth enough for me! And to think – all I used was colored pencils for years!

I attached it to a white card base. I stamped a sentiment from a previous set called Delicate Blossoms using black ink and die-cut it out with the matching dies. I glued that to the bottom corner. I added some silver twine wrapped three times and then tied in a bow to the left hand side. I used some silver sequins around the card.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to make a non-holiday card today but I did enjoy it. Back to holiday tomorrow! Thanks for visiting! suzy

I made a card today that isn’t my usual style. Every now and then I just enjoy a really clean card! And this one has NO coloring and only uses a few products! I used the Peace, Joy, Love Wafer Die from the SSS STAMPtember release. Here is my card:

I die-cut the Peace, Joy, Love Wafer Die from 6 colors of glitter cardstock (all are in my supply list). I used Bubblegum, Pale Green, Crimson, Silver, Gold, and White. I used a dot adhesive runner over a white card base and then attached the white glitter frame first.

From here it was kind of like doing a puzzle and I love puzzles! I just pushed the pieces into place as the adhesive was already there. I die-cut a bow from the pale green glitter cardstock using the Pretty Bows 2 Wafer Dies. I love these two sets of bows and I use them all the time. I tried adding so many things to the open area of this card and I didn’t like anything except this bow! I then tried adding a second sentiment and again I didn’t like anything! So I just kept it plain! There you go!

Now that I have die-cut this Peace, Joy, Love Wafer Die from six different glitter papers, I have lots of pieces and frames left! I could easily make 5 more cards with my leftovers – hmmm, great idea for mass production!!! I hope you like my very clean and easy card today! (((Should I have added more?))). Suzy

Here are my three cards:

This card is very glittery! For the background, I cut a piece of the SSS Luxe Glitter Cardstock in Gold to be 4.25×5.5″ for the card background. I then used the Holiday Hymns Coordinating Die Set to die-cut a piece of the Twilight Twinkle 6×6 Inch Double-Sided Paper. I attached that to the center of the gold background with foam tape behind it.

I used the O Holy Night stamp in the Holiday Hymns 4×6 Inch Stamp Set embossed with gold embossing powder. I die-cut it out with the Holiday Hymns Coordinating Dies. I attached that to the center of the black paper. I used some of the SSS Min Stars Embellishments around the black paper.

I embossed the Tranquil Dove Embossing Folder in the kit using white cardstock. I die-cut the Tranquil Dove Coordinating Die (not included in the kit) and embossed that. I colored the embossing folder with Copics including the blue background. I added some gray shading to the die-cut dove and attached that over the embossing folder.

I embossed three stems and a sentiment from the Glory to the Newborn King 6×8 Inch Stamp Set with gold embossing powder. I die-cut them out with the Glory to the Newborn King Coordinating Dies (not in kit). I tucked the branches around the dove and glued the sentiment to the top right. I added three of the gold star embellishments around the sentiment.

I die-cut the The First Noel Die Set from white cardstock and the frame with it from the Champagne Kraft Metallic 6×9 inch cardstock in the kit. I glued the white pieces to the frame. I embossed the large star design in the Glory to the Newborn King stamp with gold embossing powder and die-cut it out. I glued that to the top of the die-cut scene.

I embossed a sentiment from the Glory to the Newborn King stamp set with gold embossing powder and die-cut it out with the matching dies (not in kit). I cut a piece of the patterned paper in the kit to be A2 card size. I glued the die-cut design over it and added the sentiment to the bottom.

This Glory to the Newborn King Limited Edition Card Kit is SO FULL and also has so many great add-on products this year. I wanted to use more of them but it would take a lot more than 3 cards to really show off this very full kit! Thank you for visiting and happy soon to be holidays to everyone! Suzy

I made a Fall card today using the SSS STAMPtember Haunted Garden stamp and die bundle. Here is an image:

Here is my card:

I embossed the Fluted Forest Embossing Folder using Orange Cardstock. I rubbed a mini white ink cube over it that was in my November card kit. I loved the little size as it was easier to control than a big ink pad! I die-cut the Timeless Grateful Die from white and Dark Orange Cardstock and glued the letters over the white background.

I stamped the pumpkin image with Latte PSInk and the sentiment using Terra Cotta PSInk. I colored the image in with Copic markers. I die-cut it out with the matching dies and attached it to the bottom of the card front with foam tape. I added the Grateful die to the top of the card. I added the stamped sentiment below it. I used some TerraCotta Embellishment Mix between the image and the sentiment.

I hope you liked this fall card using the Haunted Garden stamp and die bundle from the STAMPtember release. I’m not big on fall colors but I really like the colors in this one. Thanks for visiting! Suzy

I made a birthday card today using the Strike Up the Fun stamp and die bundle from the STAMPtember release as well as the Celebrate Wafer Die from the Sending Cheer Release. Here is the stamp bundle:

Here is my card:

I stamped all of the images in the Strike Up the Fun stamp set with black ink. I colored them in with Copic markers. I just used two shades of aqua, yellow, and pink and kept the shading pretty simple and soft. I die-cut all of the images out with the matching dies.

I made the background using the new Gentle Whirl Embossing Folder that was part of the November Card Kit. This EF is perfect for birthday cards as it looks like confetti bursts. I colored them with the same three colors I used in the cupcakes just outlining the raised portions in a very messy way! I die-cut the Celebrate Die from the Sending Cheer release from white cardstock. I colored the background the same three colors. I then glued two sets of letters over it so they had more depth. I attached all of the stamped images over the background. I should have added some festive confetti sequins but I forgot to!

I don’t think we can ever have enough birthday cards so this Strike Up the Fun stamp and die bundle is a really useful set to have! I hope you enjoyed my card! Thanks for visiting! Suzy

I love penguin stamps so much – no idea why. They are just so cute. I was so happy when I saw a penguin set in the Sending Cheer release. It is called Penguin Mischief and is sold with dies as a bundle as shown here:

Here is my card. I wanted to use ALL of the images and I got them all on a 4x.25×5.5″ standard A2 sized card yay!

I stamped all of the penguins in the Penguin Mischief stamp set with black ink. I colored them with Copic markers (all the cool grays: C5, C7, and C9). I die-cut them out with the matching dies. I stamped a sentiment as well using Versafine ink and die-cut it out.

I made the background with a piece of blue patterned paper embossed using the SSS Soft Snowfall Embossing Folder. I painted over the white dots using the end of a paintbrush and acrylic paint. You can also use a white Uniball or a white acrylic marker. I then die-cut two hills using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Dies with white cardstock. I attached the first hill over the background and the second hill with foam tape over it on the first hill. I added 3 pretty snowflakes using the SSS Splendid Snowflake Dies. I attached all of the penguins and the sentiment. I used Frosted Lace Stickles over the snow and snowflakes.

Do you love penguins as much as I do? if so, this Penguin Mischief set is the perfect set for your winter cards! I’m working my way through the Sending Cheer release so keep visiting daily! Thank you! Suzy

I have two cards to share with you:

I embossed the Gentle Whirl Embossing Folder using white cardstock. I then applied Pastel Pink Ink over the center of each twirl design. I die-cut the Snow Globe Die Set from the Matte Silver Cardstock in the kit and from white cardstock. I die-cut the center piece using one of the Snow Flurries Card Fronts and attached all of the pieces together.

I stamped the trees, stars, snowman and scarf from the Jolly Seasons stamp set using black ink. I colored them with Copics. I attached them inside the globe. I tied some silver twine around the outside edge of the card. I stamped a sentiment with black ink and die-cut it out and attached it to the bottom of the card.

I used one of the SSS Snow Flurries Card Fronts for the background. I die-cut a snow bank with a stitched hillside die and attached that over it. I stamped the three carolers and the sentiment with black ink. I colored them in with Copics and die-cut them all out.

I die-cut the Twinkle Star Wafer Dies from the matte silver cardstock in the kit. I arranged them on the top of the card surrounding the sentiment. I added the 3 carolers over the snow. I filled my shaker card with the bag of white shaker balls in the kit.

I didn’t receive this kit Jolly Season November Card Kit until 4:00 today and I made two cards really fast since I only had a few hours before it would go live. I hope you like them even though I did rush! Thanks for visiting today! Suzy

I made another Halloween card today. Simon Says Stamp has so many cute HW stamps this year that aren’t scary! I just love the illustrator of all of these cute stamps as you can tell as I’ve used all of them now! This one is called Happy Howloween sold with dies as a bundle shown here:

See? So cute and so fun to color! I thought these were all the same type of dog – that one with the short legs and why can’t I think of what it is called right now???!!! Here is my card:

I started with the background using the Interlacing Trees Wafer Die die-cut from kraft cardstock. I then added some shading to it with Copics but kept it primarily kraft color especially the frame. I painted a panel to use behind it with Meteorite Shimmer Powder (which SSS no longer says but is my favorite color for skies!). I added some white splatter and attached the trees over it. I die-cut a second set of trees and glued them together so it was more dimensional.

I stamped all of the images in the Happy Howloween stamp set with black ink and colored them in with Copics. I die-cut them out with the matching dies. I also stamped a sentiment and die-cut it out. I glued them all over the trees. I added some 3mm Moonshine sequins around the trees.

I love this cutsie Happy Howloween stamp and die bundle. I have so many products to pick from using the Sending Cheer release and the STAMPtember release. Can’t wait to share more with you daily this week! Thanks for stopping by! Suzy

I love dogs. My dogs are my favorite thing in the world. Well one is anyway. So when I saw this stamp set called Howliday Joy with doggies dressed up for Christmas (from the Sending Cheer release), I was in love! Here is an image of the Howliday Joy Bundle:

Here is my card:

I stamped the six dogs from the Howliday Joy stamp set using black ink and colored them in with Copic Markers. I used some Glossy Accents over some areas for shine and texture. I used a Gold and White Uniball for details. I die-cut them out with the Howliday Joy matching dies.

I made the background using either the A2 Rectangle Dies or the A2 More Rectangle Dies. I mixed them all together so I never know which rectangle size goes to which set but they do get used a lot! I die-cut a piece of patterned paper with polka dots on it using all of the colors I had colored my images with. I attached it to a red card base. Then I die-cut another red cardstock rectangle to fit on the top of the paper. I glued the 6 doggies over it and added a sentiment to the center. I finished it with 2 twine bows and 3 peppermint clay embellishments.

There are so many products in the Sending Cheer release and the STAMPtember release that I haven’t had time to use yet. I love this cute little Howliday Joy stamp and die bundle so much! Thanks for stopping by! Suzy

I have some tags to share with you today using the brand new Christmas Ornaments stamp and die bundle from the SSS Sending Cheer release. Here is an image of this bundle:

Here are my 3 tags:

I die-cut all of my tags out using a set of tag dies that was part of the Tim Holtz STAMPtember release last year. I didn’t realize when I used them they aren’t available for purchase anymore. But this Christmas Ornament stamp set would fit on any of the SSS tag dies. I stamped this ornament with Apple and Cranberry PSInk. I die-cut it out and attached it to a tag die-cut using Gold Matte Cardstock. I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set and the inside part of the ornament stamp using gold embossing powder and die-cut that out. I added some gold gems to the ornament. I die-cut and embossed one of the new Beautiful Bows EF and CDs using Red Matte Cardstock. I also die-cut the tag top using Red Matte Cardstock. I glued all to the gold tag and used some Peppermint Twine in the top.

Same direction on this one except the colors. I used Tropic and Aegean PSInks and a metallic green paper for the bow. I used gold embossing powder again for the ornament detail stamp and the sentiment.

Same instructions as Tag 1. I used Cadette and Royal PSInks for this one and some blue metallic cardstock I had in my stash for the bow.

The Christmas Ornaments stamp and die bundle is so perfect for making tags. It has lots of good sentiments for tags as well. I hope you are enjoying the brand new Sending Cheer release. Don’t forget the blog hop that is on Friday and Saturday (scroll to see my blog post for day 1 of the blog hop). Suzy
