Every Blessing

Posted by on Sep 21, 2015 in Every Blessing, Heat Embossing | 2 comments

I am happy to be posting again after having been under the weather last week.  It was quite a adventure after almost passing out in the grocery store!  Thank goodness Mike was with me and could save the day….Literately, take me to a chair and sit me down.  Then take me to the car (basically carrying me).  I had to sit on the curb to wait for him.  I was so week.  This is what happens when you get the dreaded stomach bug.  I of course was very dehydrated.  The doc. gave me some great med that made me sleep for about 24 hours.  It took several days of water, Gaterade, and chicken soup but I am  all better.  If you are wondering the green apple Gaterade taste just like a jolly rancher. But, I am left with a wondering thought about how they make it so green!!! (The things that make you go Hummm)

On Saturday, I tried to move about a bit and this was the results of the effort.  Every Blessing is a wonderful stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  Every Blessing Stampin' Up!

The paper used is Winter Wonderland from the Holiday Catalog.  When I finally got this paper in my hands two things struck  me. How wonderfully different this paper was.  The combination of back, gold, and white is just wonderful.  It has a great shine about it that speaks to the specialty of the Holiday Season.  The second was how one particular sheet looked so much like the night sky constellations.  Winter Wonderland

Is it just so Shinny and Bright!!!Versatile Christmas

The sentiment is from Versatile Christmas in the Holiday Catalog.  This is a must have set if you are planning on making Christmas Cards.  Because it is full of sentiments many of witch can be used inside a card or on the outside.  I only used part of a sentiment stamp.  By masking off the part I was no going to use.  This allowed me to only ink the part of the stamp I was going to use.  Then I removed the mask before stamping.

Here are the details:

  • The card base is Basic Black card stock cut at 5 1/2 inches and scored at 4 1/4 inches
  • The layers are Whisper White (5 3/8 by 4 1/8), Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper ( 5 1/4 by 4)
  • The strips are Basic Black( 5 1/4 by 3/4) and Whisper White(5 1/4 by 1)
  • On the Winter Wonderland layer stamp the image in Versa Mark ink and sprinkle with the gold embossing powder.  Heat set the image.  Before stamping make sure to use the embossing buddy so the powder does not stick to unwanted surfaces on the paper.
  • Adhere the black and white strips together then add a layer of gold thread.
  • Stamp the sentiment from Versatile Christmas in Versa Mark ink and sprinkle with gold embossing powder. Heat set the sentiment.  Again be sure to use the embossing buddy before stamping.  I masked off the with you so it would not show when stamped.
  • Add the sentiment to a Whisper White layer
  • All that is left is adhering everything together.  I used multipurpose glue for this task.

The very talented Teneale Williams has a wonderful sketch for the Global Design Project second challenge.  I thrilled to be playing along with this fab. group of card designers once again.  They have some very wonderful cards for this sketch.  So, please be sure to hop over to Global Design Project and check out all the creations.  GDP002

When I got home from work last night the UPS Mad had left a box full of Happy Mail.  Yeepee, It was full of new stamp set!!!!   I am looking forward to making many new projects over the next few days to show you guys all the wonderful items that was in my Happy Mail. I was so excited that I had to use one of my new sets for this challenge.  Jolly Christmas is a very happy set.  It has a modern retro (Is that even a thing)  feel about the designs.  I just loved it from the first time I saw it in the Holiday Catalog.  For me, it was a must have stamp set!  Jolly Christmas

The deer is my favorite image in this set.  I love the way he is leaping… Makes me think of something Pottery Barn would put on a pillow.  Now there’s a idea…..

The greeting I used is from another set that Mr. UPS Man left.  Oh What Fun

Oh What Fun stamp set is full of amazing fonts and fun saying for Christmas.IMAG2175

Here are the detials:

  • The card base is Cherry Cobbler card stock cut at 5 1/2 inches and scored at 4 1/4 inches.
  • The layers are Mossy Meadow (5 3/4 by 4 1/8) ,Cherry Cobbler (3 3/4 by 2), and Winter Wonderland Designer Series Vellum(3 3/4 by 1 5/8) gold dots turned upside down.
  • On the Mossy Meadow layer stamp the “star” using versa mark.  Then emboss using silver embossing power and a heat gun
  • On Cherry Cobbler card stock stamp the deer image in versa mark. Then emboss using silver embossing power and a heat gun  After embossing cut out using the circles collection framelits and the Big Shot
  • The sliver layer was made by embossing whisper white paper with versa mark ink, silver embossing power, and a heat gun.  If you have silver foil paper this would work also.  I did not have silver foil so I had to make my own.  I used this paper to make a strip that was 1/8 inch by 3 3/4 and to cut out a circle using the circles collection framelits
  • Stamp the “tis the season” from Oh What Fun stamp set in Basic Black ink on Mossy Meadow card stock and cut it out in a fun little way
  • Add the vellum to the Cherry Cobbler by gluing the vellum to the silver strip and then gluing the sliver strip to the Cherry Cobbler Add silver thread over the vellum and Cherry Cobbler
