My Favorite Things Stamps...Merry & Bright

Hey Stampin' friends! I'm still making a few last minute cards. My mom wants a gift card to the Apple store to go towards the MacBook Pro laptop that she wants. Unfortunately, we've had a few unforeseen events that prevented us from making the trip to the Apple Store, in Toronto, to pick up that gift card.  I still wanted to make something special so that she knows I had good intentions and I'll include the money in lieu of the gift card.   

I was inspired to make this card by an e-mail Apple gift card that I saw on the Apple website. I made the card with the Blueprints 4 from Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock and I cut the Red Delicious Die-namics from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and used a circle die from the Circle STAX to make the Apple icon. I used the Plaid Background Builder Stamp Set and stamped it with Sweet Tooth Pigment Dye Ink and heat embossed it with AC Zing White  Embossing powder. I stamped a sentiment from the Cheerful Christmas Greetings Stamp set in Electric Red Premium Dye Ink on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the Layered Treat Tag Die-namics. Lastly, I added a few YNS Gumdrops in White Sugar and Holly Berry Red.

on the inside... I added a Gift Card Pocket with the Gift Card Pocket - Horizontal Die-namics cut from the Electric Red Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped a sentiment from LJD Gift Card Greetings II Stamp Set in MFT Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink. 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at yet another MFT Christmas Card!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 146...Happy Holidays!

Hey Stampin' friends! I thought I would play along with the fabulous sketch over at the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club....MFTWSC146! I'm just getting it in under the wire but it gave me the chance to make another Christmas card and play with the new Glimmer Glaze that I bought the other day too.

*** Make sure to enter your name in my BLOG CANDY giveaway for a MFT LLD Insert It - 3X4 Notebook Die-namics and I will include a few other fun crafting goodies too. Just add your name to the Link Up Gadget at the bottom of the post HERE.***

Good Luck!

Here is the fabulous sketch that I used.

For my card I used the festive BoBunny Silver and Gold 6X6 paper pad and I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Brick Red and Jellybean Green. For the rectangle panel in the sketch I decided to use the LLD Insert It - 3X4 Notepad Die-namics. I also used the gorgeous Poinsettia Die-namics cut from pattern paper. After cutting out the flowers I turned them over on a foam mat and used my ball stylist, rubbing in circular motion, to add some dimension to the petals and leaves. Then I applied the Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze in Sangria and I used Parsley Glimmer Glaze on the leaves.

I stamped one of the fabulous sentiments from the NEW Cheerful Christmas Sentiments Stamp set on Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock in Brick Red Premium Dye Ink.

Here is a close up of the Glimmer Glazed Poinsettia...it adds such a pretty shimmer and glimmer and still lets the pattern in the paper show through...I really like how it looks and is very simple to use and dries quickly, so no long wait while it dries. 
 

This is the inside...very simple...I used another sentiment from the NEW Cheerful Christmas Sentiments Stamp set in Brick Red Premium Dye Ink.

Well, Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club # 146.
