For this first card I began by cutting 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" square of Whisper White CS, and then stamped it with the 3 branch stamp from the stamp set using Shaded Spruce Ink- by placing the stamp on my Stamparatus and then rotating the mat to form the wreath shape.

Next I stamped the dot cluster from the stamp set as shown and the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set in Real Red Ink.

I popped up the mat using Dimensionals onto a top mat cut from a piece of the Under The Mistletoe DSP set, and added a couple strips of narrow red ribbon from my stash.

I attached the top mat to a bottom mat of Shaded Spruce CS, and then to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

Lastly I added several Frosted Epoxy Droplets which I colored with Real Red Stampin' Blends.

For this next card I stamped the wreath from the Tidings All Around Stamp Set using Emerald Envy ink on a scrap piece of Emerald Envy CS, and die cut it using the coordinating die from the All Around Wreath Dies. 

I cut an appropriately sized circle of Whisper White CS and used Tape Runner to attach it to the back of the Wreath.  I cut some sprigs of Gold and Green Foil Paper using the dies from the same set and used Tape Runner to attach them as shown.

The sentiment is from this same stamp set.

I popped up the wreath using Dimensionals onto a top mat of Wrapped in Plaid DSP.  And attached the piece to a bottom mat of Emerald Envy CS.  And then to a White Card Base.

I added a gold bow to the wreath on the completed card.

The deer was cut from Gold Foil Paper using the Detailed Deer Thinlits.

The sprigs on the wreath and the bottom mat were cut from Shaded Spruce CS.

The sentiment is from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set and was stamped with Shaded Spruce Ink.

For these next 2 cards I added a second layer under the wreath.  It was cut from Shaded Spruce CS using the second die from the All Around Wreath Dies. I cut several of them, then cut them into sections, and  I attached them to the back side of the top wreath using Tape Runner.

Both of these cards were embellished with either Enamel Shapes or colored Frosted Epoxy Droplets and Bows. I wrapped some green twine around the green card.

These are really simple cards to make, its really about the two large dies in the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits.

I cut the top die out of Island Indigo CS and the bottom die out of Balmy Blue CS and then glued them together using Tombow glue.  It is a little tricky to get them aligned correctly - just takes time and patience, but I love the finished piece which I glued onto a top mat cut from some of the  that I had in my stash.

That top mat was then attached to a Island Indigo CS bottom mat using Tape Runner, and then then attached to a White Card Base.

These A2 sized cards feature the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and the coordinating Magnolia Memories Dies from Stampin' Up!

Link to My Stampin' Up! Store

These were my first 3 cards I made with this stamp set using the large Magnolia.  I wanted to start by experimenting with the 3 different ways I saw online to color the magnolia.

For this first card I stamped the large Magnolia from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set on Whisper White CS using Memento Black Ink.

I used Stampin' Blends to color the flower: for the petals I used the Flirty Flamingo Set, for the center I used the Daffodil Delight Set, for the leaves I used the Old Olive Set, and for the branch I used the Crumb Cake Set. Then I cut out the flower using the coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies.

For the top frame I cut a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of the Galvanized Metallic DSP and then used one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies to cut out the center piece.  The mat underneath was cut to fit the empty space from a piece of Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Banners Stamp Set, was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White CS using Flirty Flamingo Ink, and cut with a die from the coordinating Bunch of Banners Framelits.

The 2 mats were attached using Tape Runner, the sentiment and magnolia were popped up with Dimensionals, and then the completed piece was attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.  

For this second card, I stamped the flower on Whisper White CS using Archival Black Ink (there was some bleeding of the black ink - StazOn Ink would have been a better choice).  To color the flower I used inks which I applied with a Blender Pen:  Crushed Curry Ink for the petals and center, Mossy Meadow Ink for the leaves and branch.

The completed flower was cut out with the coordinating Magnolia Memory Dies, and then sprayed with some Shimmer Spray.

I cut a standard top mat (5" x 3-3/4") out of Crushed Curry CS and then ran it thru the Big Shot using the Tufted Embossing Folder.

The standard bottom mat (5-1/4" x 4") was cut from Mossy Meadow CS.

I attached the top mat to the bottom mat using Tape Runner.

Then I cut a couple of pieces of Mossy Meadow CS using the Decorative Ribbon Punch to frame the sentiment, which is from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set, and stamped on a strip of Crushed Curry CS using Mossy Meadow Ink.  The pieces were attached to the card front using Tape Runner and then trimmed to 4".

The completed piece was  attached to a White Card Base using Tape Runner.

For this third card, I stamped the flower on Shimmer Paper using StazOn Ink, and then used Watercolor Pencils to color the flower: for the petals I used Coastal Cabana, for the center I used Daffodil Delight, for the leaves I used Garden Green and Granny Apple Green, and for the branch I used Early Espresso.  If you haven't used watercolor pencils before it is a pretty simple process.  First you use the pencils to fill in the area and then I used my water-filled Aqua Painter to distribute the color.  For the darker area I applied additional layers of color using the pencils and then the Aqua Painter.

I cut this frame using two of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies from a piece of  Island Indigo CS which I had embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from the same Birthday Banners Stamp Set that I used for the first card - but this time I used Pool Party CS and Island Indigo Ink and then it was cut out with the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

The frame was attached directly to a White Card Base and then the sentiment and Magnolia were popped up with Dimensionals.
