Tree Selections Sneak Peek


Hello and welcome.  Today I am sharing a card made with the soon to be released set called Tree Selections Mini from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company.  This mini will be available for free when you purchase all four of the new releases available next week.  If you wish to buy the mini buy itself, you'll have to wait until September's release, so it is really the better deal to get it for free during the release.

For my card, I paired it with the Greetings of the Season mini to continue getting a jump on my Christmas cards.  I started out by stamping the larger tree from the Tree Selections mini in Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink onto snow storm smooth heavy card stock before stippling Tim Holtz forest moss distress ink for the ground and then tumbled glass distress ink for the sky before layering and adding brads.  My card is made from evergreen card stock with the pine branch from the Greetings of the Season mini using Tim Holtz pine needles distress ink.  My only additional embellishments were some gold cording and a brass pine charm.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to join us next week for our monthly blog hop.

Stamps: MFP Greetings Of The Season Mini, Tree Selections Mini
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Pine Needles, Tumbled Glass, Forest Moss
Card Stock: MFP Snow Storm Smooth Heavy, Evergreen
Accessories: Stipple Brushes, Brads, Gold Cord, Charm

Celebrate Big


Hello and welcome.  Today I am sharing a card made with the soon to be released set called Celebrate Big from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company. I am totally in love with this new cupcake set we are getting!!

After stamping my images in memento tuxedo black onto snow storm smooth heavy card stock, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and got busy coloring making sure my cupcakes matched the Die Cuts With A View designer paper I had pulled out.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around them before layering onto limeade and Grandma's lavender patch card stock.  After cutting the "Happy Birthday" saying in half, I stamped it directly onto the designer paper in memento tuxedo black ink before adding a small Martha Stewart lime gingham bow.  Clean, simple, and totally easy to do even with a migraine.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  Make sure to stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek at the new mini being released next week.

Stamps: MFP Celebrate Big
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass
Card Stock: MFP Snow Storm Smooth, Grandma's Lavender Patch, Limeade, DCWV Sweet Shoppe
Accessories: Prismacolor Markers, Martha Stewart Bow, Stipple Brush
