The House That Stamps Built: New Years

  It's Wednesday so time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built!

Our theme this week is New Years.
 


I went with a simple design using a gold dotted pattern paper,
I embossed Happy New Year in gold, and framed it in a gold
die cut.  I added a few extra gold dots.  Very simple but
fun and fitting for the theme.

  

Join the fun and you might be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing
 for the  $25 Repeat Impression's  gift certificate. You don't have
 to use Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas, Option of favorite technique

 It's Wednesday so time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built!
Our theme is Christmas with the option of your favorite technique.
 

Those of you that visit regularly know that I enjoy fun fold cards,
so I knew right away that I would go with that for today.  Every
Christmas I make a few cards with Penguin Tree. It makes such
a fun cheery card.  I cut the image and the green border on my
Scan'N'Cut.  Colored with Copics and glitter glue on the hats.

JDS: Miracle of Christmas

 I can't believe it is already the middle of December, time is flying by.  It is already
mid month at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge blog.  Stop by and see what the Design
Team has created.  Many of us have used the new set Santa's Gift.

 


 I chose to highlight only this one sentiment which just really struck me.  I used all gold
papers and accents to showcase it.  Check out the rest of the Design Teams cards, 
you will see the darling Santa and other images here.

Noel

 

 Two more cards made with snippets from a die swap years ago, paired with 
backgrounds from my background box.  Quick, easy and fun.  I wish I know
who made the dies.  The Noel is a Tim Holtz from Sizziz Holiday
Greetings.

Holly Christmas card


 Another card put together with snippets from my Christmas drawer,
background box and shimmer papers.  I added some gold to the 
die to brighten it up and the sentiment is from Taylored expressions.

Christmas snowflake snippet


 

 

 I made a lot of my Christmas this year from snippets from my
craft room.  I had several dies from a swap years ago that I pulled
out,  backgrounds from my background box and I got 
out my shimmery papers that I never use because they are too
pretty and used those too. I used these as my inspiration
to put together some quick yet beautiful
cards.  I will be showing one each day this 
weekend.  Unfortunately most got mailed before I took
pictures.

Sizziz to finish off my card.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas: Option-Use Patterned paper

 It's time for another Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built

 

I started by gluing my patterned paper to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 " card stock and then 
embossing it with a snowflake embossing folder.  I distressed the edges with ink.
I then stamped  Repeat Impressions: Snow Skating ,  die cut it and colored it with Copics,
 and then stamped Let It Snow, distress it with ink after die cutting.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas: Option-Nontraditional Colors

It's time for another Wednesday challenge at The House That Stamps Built.

 

 I went with the option: Christmas with nontraditional colors, using pink and silver. I 
masked and embossed Pointsettia three times in silver on pink card stock.  I then
blended ink over the edges for some depth and stamped  Merry Christmas in the
same shade of pink.   A few gems and a splattering of silver (which does not show up 
as well as in real life) and  a layer of silver card stock completed this card.
