Christmas Spirit

Christmas is right around the corner!  I got into the holiday spirit making this bottle shaped card, using the fun new Bottle Won't Open stamp as a label.  I printed a photo of a bottle from my computer and used it as a template for cutting the card shape out of dark red cardstock.  Stamped the sentiment on mottled DSP, colored the holly leaves and added some red gems for the berries.  Used a small piece of gold paper stamped with Holly and Berries on the neck of the bottle.  Finished with some gold matting on the label and a couple of gold leaf stickers.  Sponged the edges of the bottle with Highland Heather to add dimension.  Here are links to these stamps:

The best things in life!

Good day! Today I am sharing the new sentiment Old, Loved and Rescued. for this card, I cut the sentiment apart and paired it with the sweet dog from Please Forgive Me. I found this super fun plaid designer paper in my scraps pile and thought it'd look cute with this pup. I colored the pup with Zig watercolor brush markers and cut out with a stitched die and popped on dimensionals. The sentiment is popped up, too.

Christmas is coming !

Today where I am sharing a few more Christmas cards I have made with a couple of the new releases this month.

First up using up some of my Christmas scrap paper

I did the background in herring bone design

Embossed the 'bottle won't open' saying in gold

and gold around the edges

Added gold corners from a die cut I have and the saying

is popped up a little

Next up - using scraps again - This quick and easy design

Using the new Scripted Merry Christmas embossed onto the cardstock

Last one to share today is again using the 'bottle won't open' stamp along with an older stamp 'the happy housewife' 

Emobossed in Gold - then the background was embossed with a snowflake folder.  The lovely lady was fussy cut out and layered on.

The look on her face would be the same as mine if I couldn't get my wine bottle open  LOL.

Are You in the Holiday Spirit

 Hey Crafty Friends - 

Looking for a fun stamp set to use as you work on your holiday cards? If so I highly encourage you to grab the newly released The Bottle Won't Open stamp set! Check out the below instructions providing steps on how I put this card together. 

• The colors were important so I began looking through my stash of patterned paper to find that special piece of paper. I knew I wanted to use red/cranberry as my main colors with a hint of green to color the leaves. 
• I cut a piece of patterned paper as well as white card stock using a nested deckled edge die. I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and the white card stock to the patterned paper. 
• The sentiment is from the November Release stamp set, The Bottle Won't Open. You can either mask the sentiment or cut the stamp. I am a cutter so I tend to cut stamps. I know I am fearless! LOL The great thing is you put it back together like a puzzle piece. 
• I stamped the portion of the sentiment that read "I'm trying to get in the Holiday Spirit". I colored the banner and leaves using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. 
• The sentiment was paired with the Gnome for Christmas stamp set. Isn't the Gnome beyond cute??!!
• The Gnome image was stamped in black ink onto the white mat and then again on a scrap piece of white card stock. I colored the image, fussy cut it out and adhered it over the stamped image with 3-D foam tape adding dimension. 
• The cuffs at the end of the gnomes shirt was colored with Stickles to add flair. 
• I added a few bitty sparkles to round out this card. 

Isn't he cute?! 

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are inspired. Don't forget the new November Release stamps are 15% off through November 8th. All other stamps receive a 10% discount when you use code TJ10Shalana at checkout. Happy Crafting!!
