Scene Building - Winter holiday cheer peace card

 Hello, Gaylynn here.  Thanks for visiting.  Here on this last day of July, I am sharing card scene building using a mix of stamping, heat embossing and ink blending.  I am getting an early start on my holiday card making.

Sentiment:  Peace.  Holiday cheer.

Go through your crafty stash for stamps not intended for the holidays to help create a holiday card.  These trees worked great for building the winter scene.

Monochromatic Sympathy Card + Gold Stamping

 Hello and welcome.  Today,  I am sharing a monochromatic sympathy card with gold metallic stamping.  The colors are blue on blue with a hint of shine from the gold stamping.

Sentiment:  With sympathy.

Condolences are some of the most difficult greetings to make and send.  But, making them subtle yet pretty helps.

Silhouette Cat Card ~ Silver Metallic Stamping

 Today, I am featuring this silhouette cat card using silver metallic stamping over at Unity Stamp Co.  The cat stamp looks more intense on the black cardstock.

Sentiment:
May your day be as wonderful as you are.

I paired the dark stamped panel with a bright lime green background frame for extra pop.

Layering stencils and silver stamping balloon card

Layering stencils and silver stamping are easy card making techniques.  I combined the two with a Unity stamp and stencil set for this shimmering celebration card.  

The sentiment can be changed to work for other occasions.
