Oh Holy Night ~ HSS403

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #403.  I have to say that photo inspiration challenges are among my favorite to participate in!  There's always so many directions to go!  I was inspired by the nativity photo.  

I started with a piece of Misty Moonlight and stamped various star images on it from So Many Stars.  I embossed with white embossing powder and then used my blender brush to brush on some Night of Navy ink around the edges.  The white embossed parts must be wiped off with a cloth after blending.  I used Going Gray and Whisper White as coordinating colors for this card.  I also played around with the off-set corner mount for a little bit of added interest.  I finished the card off with a beautiful sentiment from the stamp set stamped in Going Gray ink on a label cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.  Some polka dot tulle ribbon and Metallic Mesh ribbon tucked behind the sentiment and a few rhinestone finish it all off. 

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Peaceful Deer in the Aspen ~ HSS402

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for November.  Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, and Evening Evergreen are the colors for the week.  

I chose to go with a nature theme and used several stamps from Peaceful Deer and added in the Aspen Trees die.  

The deer and rabbit were colored with blends and fussy cut out.  I stamped and embossed a few snowflakes above the aspens. 

I kept thinking I should add something more, like a ribbon or some other accessory, but ultimately decided against it.  Less is more.  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Fancy Leopard and Snowflake Christmas ~ HSS401; PP615

Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #401 and all I can say is I LOVE THIS!  I have been waiting to use these particular items for ages and ages.  I was going through my scraps one day and came across the silver snowflake, the pink scalloped circle, the other snowflakes and the pink leopard print paper.  The oval is also an extra piece from an old project.  I just love, love, love how this came together!!! The baubles from For Everything Fancy Sequins surround the sentiment and boy, do they do their job!  They certainly make things fancy!!!! 

I'm also playing with The Paper Players Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I'm going diagonal using metallic, texture, and stitching.  The metallic is obvious, but there's a ton of texture going on with this card. The large white snowflake is cut from velvet paper.  More texture comes by way of the Evergreen embossed background and the sequins.  The stitched part is in the die cut oval.

  

Thanks for taking a look and have a blessed day!

For Everything Fancy CASE HSS400

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments photo inspiration challenge.  I chose to be inspired by the colors of the gourds and pumpkins. 

 I had seen a post on Instagram a while ago that used the For Everything Fancy sequins, only her card was in hues of  blues and tans.  I loved the use of the sequins down the one side, so I decided to case her card.  I wish I could remember who this gal was so I could give her credit....her card was so, so beautiful! I have a screenshot of it below, but no name to go with it. You are so very talented, whoever you are!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Wishing you Everything Wonderful ~ HSS399, TTTC181, PP611, CTC389

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge for the month of October.  They are fall-ish colors or could go Halloween too, I suppose.  

I had lots and lots of inspiration for this challenge.  First I started with Casing the Catty's bundle case challenge.  I cased a card from page 38 that features the Charming Sentiments bundle.

I also used the Tic Tac Toe challenge down the right side: Autumn Colors, Enamel dots or gems, and Ink blending.  Lastly I used the theme challenge from The Paper Players: Changing Seasons.  Their challenge inspiration photo held some of the same colors as our color challenge this week....a match made in heaven!

Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Charming Sentiments

Paper: White, Pool Party, Beautifully Penned DSP, Shimmer White, Black

Ink: Pool party, Starry Sky, Pumpkin Pie, Memento Black

Accessories: Sentiment Silhouette dies, Intricate Leaves dies, Linen Thread, Blue gems, Layered Leaves EF

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Playing With Leftovers ~ HSS398

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments newest card sketch challenge.  I've had some of these leftovers laying around on my desk for quite some time.  In fact the only thing I cut for this card was the card base and the background DSP.  Everything else was already cut and stamped.  

The flowers were stamped and cut with Pretty Perennials, the gold holy leaves are cut from Seasonal Swirls dies. The sentiment is from Rustic Retreat. I really kinda like the way it came together!  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
