Thursday with Toni

Hello!   And, goodbye.  ;-(    Sadly this is my last post as a member of the Great Impressions Design Team.  It's been so much fun and I'll miss you all! 

I've made two cards this time.  I had to have the H203 Magical Tree stamp the moment I saw it.  It's so gorgeous!  I had a bunch of ideas but settled on this one for the first card. 

Here I used designer paper that had the look of layered stamping without all the fuss and muss.  I then stamped the tree using a matching blue.  I decided to emboss the panel for textural interest before adding the Tim Holtz star.

For my final card as part of the Great Impressions design team, I went ultra simple and modern with a one layer card using G496 Evergreen Wreath and F621 Holidays.  You may recall I have used this stamp before.  Totally different effect, right?


Be sure to stop by again as a new team will be starting and will have fantastic inspiration to share with you!  Happy holidays to you and yours!

Don't forget about the GI monthly challenge!

You don't have to use GI stamps but it'd be totally awesome if you did!

Also, if you do use GI stamps, be sure to link up to the customer gallery to show us your fabulous work and for a chance to get a little year-end prize.

Wishing You a Magical Holiday Season ...

Good morning and Happy Wednesday! Ruza here to share a card featuring some of the awesome Great Impressions Stamps.

As we all know the holidays will be here before you know it, and that means it's time to start making my holiday cards.

Today's card features the Magical Tree (H203) and Magical Holiday Sentiment (G389).

Using VersaMark Ink I stamped the Magical Tree (H203), embossed it with Winter Wonderland Embossing Powder, fussy cut it out, and put it on the side. I then stamped the Magical Holiday Sentiment (G389) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, went over the snowflakes with a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen, and then used some Crystal Stickles to add snowflakes all around the sentiment.

The sentiment panel was layered on my cardbase with dimensional tape, and then I added the Magical Tree (H203).

That is all for me today. I will be back next week with another project featuring some amazing stamps from Great Impressions! I hope you will check out our current Great Impressions Challenge, and if you use some Great Impressions stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!
