This card features the Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set and its coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!.

I began by doing all the stamping.  For the flower backgrounds I used Blackberry Bliss and Blueberry Bushel Ink on Whisper White Cardstock.  I used Shaded Spruce on WW Cardstock for the leaves.

Then I die cut the top pieces of the flowers from Blackberry Bliss and Night of Navy Cardstock, the little stems from Shaded Spruce Cardstock.  The leaves were cut as stamped.

I die cut a piece of Mint Macaron Cardstock using the diamond shaped geometric die for the top mat of the card.

I glued the flower sections together and then glued and popped up the pieces to the top mat as shown.

I stamped the Thinking of You sentiment from Colorful Seasons in Shaded Spruce Ink.

Then I glued the top mat to a white card base.

Add lastly, I added a few White Perfect Accents on the card front.

These 3 cards feature Lovely Lattice stamp set from Stampin' Up!

For this 1st one I stamped onto Natural White Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I colored the flowers and lattice edges with Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends.

I added a piece of Bermuda Bay Ribbon at the bottom.

The sentiment is from Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and was stamped in Bermuda Bay Ink onto Pool Party Cardstock.  It was die cut with a die from Bunch of Banners Framelits and popped up with Dimensionals.

The bird is from Serene Gardens stamp set and was stamped in Tranquil Tide ink onto Pool Party Cardstock.  It was also popped up with Dimensionals.

The top mat was glued to Pool Party Cardstock and mounted on a white card base.

This 2nd card was stamped using Versamark ink on Mossy Meadow Cardstock . I sprinkled the card front with White Embossing Powder, shook off the excess, and used the Heat Tool to melt & set the powder.

I painted the flowers with White Acrylic Paint, let it dry thoroughly and then colored them with Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends.  The paint doesn't go on smoothly and it  gives the card a hand painted look.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to cut the corners of the cardstock.

The sentiment was die cut from Daffodil Delight Cardstock with Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and glued onto a strip of White Organza Ribbon.

The top mat was glued to a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and then glued to a white card base.

This 3rd card was stamped using Versamark ink on Blueberry Bushel Cardstock.  I sprinkled the card front with White Embossing Powder, shook off the excess, and used a heat tool to set the powder.

For this version, I painted Whisper White Craft ink onto the flowers, let it dry thoroughly and then colored them with Night of Navy and Melon Mango Stampin' Blends.  ( I think Stampin' Write Markers would have worked better as the alcohol markers do not wipe off the White Embossing Powder.  Later  I touched up the white with Stampin' Up!'s chalk marker but the line was thicker than I would have liked.)

The sentiment was die cut from Balmy Blue Cardstock with Celebrate You Thinlits dies and glued to the bottom of the top mat.

The top mat was then glued to a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and both then glued to a white card base.

Here's one more card:

I stamped the four petals from Lasting Lily as shown in Flirty Flamingo Ink on Whisper White cardstock.  

Then I stamped the stems in Old Olive ink.

Next I stamped the pattern stamp from the set in Old Olive around the stems as shown.  And then I used a sponge dauber to add some Whisper White craft ink to this section.

I glued the top mat onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo and then both pieces to a white card base.

I will add a sentiment when needed at a later date.

For this card I began by stamping the flower petals in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks as shown on Whisper White cardstock.

As Christmas is fast approaching, I have spent the last few days putting finishing touches on several Holiday Cards that were started, but not quite complete.

This first one uses the large "Blizzard" stamp from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set from Stampin' Up!, which was stamped as a background for the sentiment stamp from Merry Christmas to All set, and the trees from Lovely as a Tree,  I used Pool Party and Tranquil Tide inks.   This is an A2 size card.

Merry Christmas to all my Blogger Friends!

These first 2 cards feature the die from the Beautiful Blizzard Bundle in Stampin' Up!'s 2018 Holiday Catalog.   The Blizzard Thinlits Die is a single die that cuts out lots of snowflakes all at once.   The pieces at the top of these 2 cards are from the cardstock left behind after the snowflakes are all removed.   I trimmed the pieces to size to fit my card and also added a few of the snowflakes and the sentiment to the bottom of the card.  

This last card features the large snowflake from Snowfall Thinlets.  I mounted it on a piece of Christmas DSP and a Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  These three are all A2 size cards.

These 2 cards feature the tree stamps from the Winter Woods Bundle from Stampin' Up!.  One stamped and mounted in Shaded Spruce, and the other using Tranquil Tide.  These are both A7 size cards.

This holiday card features the Winter Woods stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  I began by sponging some Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana ink on the top mat of Whisper White CS. Then I stamped the trees with Versamark ink using clear embossing powder. To darken the background I sponged some Island Indigo ink onto the mat and then wiped off the embossed area revealing the lighter colored trees. I finished the card front by heat embossing some "snow" across the mat using white embossing powder. The Sentiment is from the November 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit. This card was inspired by a video done by Linda Bedinger.

Here's another card using a the same process, with different inks and a different layout.

These are both A2 size cards.

This card features the Signs of Santa Bundle from Stampin' Up!.  I think this is definitely the "cutest" set in this years 2018 Holiday Catalog.  Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus and the sign post were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends and die cut with the coordinating Framelits dies.  They were layered onto a piece of Whisper White CS that was embossed using their Softly Falling embossing folder.  The sentiment from Timeless Tidings was stamped in Real Red ink.  This is an A2 size card.

This Seasonal card features the Woodlands Texture Embossing Folder and Lovely as a Tree stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  I began by opening the embossing folder and sponging Island Indigo & Soft Sky ink on the inside of the embossing folder on the spaces in between the trees.  Then I stamped the trees in Tranquil Tide ink, inserted my Whisper White CS, closed the embossing folder & ran the it through the Big Shot. I mounted the finished piece on a Island Indigo CS.  The sentiment is from Merry Christmas to All stamp set. I CASE'd this process from a video I saw by Carolyn Serviss.  This is 6-1/2" x 4-1/2" card.

My sister was up for Thanksgiving so we worked on the November 2018 Paper Pumpkin - To You & Yours.  Wow! I love the card stock and pine boughs in this kit. 

A few days ago I posted several cards I made using the Peaceful Poinsettia Bundle.  The post included a card that I had embossed on my Big Shot using both the corner die and the flower die onto a piece of card stock and then outlining the flower, branches and leaves & then coloring them in.  I really liked this process and wanted to share these additional two A2 size cards using the same process.  On the first one I added a few white die cuts.  On the second I added some foil paper dots.

This Winter Scene card features one of the snowman from the Spirited Snowman stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  The trees are from their Lovely As A Tree stamp set and the sentiment from Peaceful Noel.  The background has been sponged and Dazzling Diamonds applied for a snow effect.  This is an A7 size card.
