Stamp Off Simply Scored Seasonal Layers

Susan, Buffy and I are enjoying another Stamp Off

Challenge.  This week, we are pulling out our score

boards to add some texture to our projects.

I enjoy using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (page 189), 

to highlight aspects or portions of a card.  In this 

example, I scored around and below the images and 

sentiment.  The circle layer is taken from the

See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper on page 166.

The snowflakes, made from Sparkle Glimmer Paper

(page 169) was run through Seasonal Layers Dies

(page 195) to create the snowflakes.  The sentiment comes 

from the Merry Moose set on page 27 of the Holiday Catalog.

I liked the vertical aspect of the sentiment on this

particular layout.

Now please hop on over to check out the cards

created by Buffy and Susan!!

Pine Tree Punch on Wrapped in Plaid

I frequently pull out the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer

Series Paper (Holiday page 14), because the gold accents make

simple cards sparkle.  It pairs really well with the Pine Tree

Punch on page 13.  The punch makes it quick and easy to

get to the section of the DSP that you want, or punch

a tree in a layer of DSP in order to recess an image.

Either way, it's a very rapid approach to making

a collection of Christmas Cards.

I stamped the sentiment from Merry Moose,

and used a die from the Garage Gears Dies on page

193, to cut it out.

Detailed Skate Dies on Wrapped in Plaid

Yes, indeed, I've pulled out the skates again.  That would

be the Detailed Skate Dies on page 44 of the

Holiday catalog.  I paired it with the Wrapped in

Plaid 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper on page 13.

I love this DSP because of the glints of gold running

throughout the paper.  It's really hard to see in photos.

The sentiment comes from the Merry Moose set

on page 27.  Love the moose, love those sentiments!

Wicked Halloween

It's crazy to look at the calendar and see that Halloween

is almost here.  I have candy in the back of my car for

trunk or treat, so I guess that I'm ready.

This is a quick Halloween card, using the Wicked Dies

on page 55 of the Holiday Catalog.  The background was

created with the smoke from Geared Up Garage on 

page 154.  All it needed was some background layers

and those google eyes!

First Frost with Frosted Bouquet Dies

I'm really enjoying using the First Frost Stamp set

(page 140) and coordinating Frosted Bouquet combination

for Christmas cards.  This is a set from last year and

it is just dandy.  Adding some die cut Gold Foil always pumps it

up a notch.  These products would also coordinate with 

the Frosted Foliage Suite

from this year's Holiday catalog.

I put all the bits and pieces on a layer of Whisper White

that was run through the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing

Folder on page 31 of the Holiday Catalog.

Moose Punch Christmas on Magnolia DSP

This is another card that I made for last Friday's 

Stamp Off Challenge.  I figured that people are tired of

seeing Merry Moose cards for challenges.  However,

this Moose punch (Holiday page 27), makes for the 

quickest Christmas cards.  In this example, I layered the moose 

on to some Magnolia suite DSP, Gold foil strips 

and Rhinestone jewels colored with Stampin' Blends.
 The card base was run through the Hammered Metal 3D
Embossing Folder on page 31 of the Holiday catalog.
