Elegant Berry Branch

Good Tuesday Morning, Donna Here!


Another delightful wintry card to share with you......sit back and grab a sweater.  lol

 

I have used the beautiful Great Impressions Stamp  J120 Elegant Berry Branch.  I stamped the branch on a Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangle die and layered that on some pretty red card stock.  Added a bright red and white gingham check ribbon and bow to the top of the branch.  Placed that all on a white piece of card stock embossed using a Snowflakes Swirl Folder.  I also added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter all over the embossed panel, it shimmers and shines so much, in real life.

 

After assembling my whole card I grabbed a bunch of Red Adhesive Rhinestones and decorated the larger berries I had colored with a Copic Marker.

 

This card really has an impact.  AND it is Clean And Simple which I really struggle with.  YAY!!!

Guess the Carol Week: Day Three

Good morning! Ruza here and I'm hosting Day Three of Guess the Carol Week!

Welcome back to another day for our "Guess the Carol" week here at Great Impressions! We have loved all of your guesses so far, and cannot wait to see what you think today's carol is!  Please leave a comment below with your guess for your chance to win the stamps used on today's project.

Today's card features the adorable Peeking Reindeer (G529). He was so much fun to color with my Copic Markers with a bit of distress ink surrounding the Reindeer.

A little sparkle for the snow was created with Crystal and Waterfall Stickles with a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen, and we can't forget that shiny/sparkly red nose.

The embossed sparkly snowdrift against the tree lined background was the perfect mix for this adorable guy.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  If you'd like more chances to win, please check out the other posts from this week and stay tuned for another post tomorrow!  See you then!

I used the sweetest Henry image by  Great Impressions,   G494, Christmas Henry, isn't he just darlin'?  I actually won him 2 years ago during Guess The Carol Week, pretty cool, right?

 

 

This was super FUN to make, lots of embellishments going on here!  Stitched Traditional  Tag, Western Star Border, and Fancy Flourish dies used.  Wooden Star charm painted bright yellow topped with glitter.  Eyelet, Ribbon, Gold Twine, Sakura and Wink Of Stella Glitter Pens, Sequins and more Glitter.  Images colored with Copic Markers.

I think he's making his Christmas Wish.....just darlin'.  I may have tricked you a bit with this creation.....good luck with your guess!

Oh Christmas Tree

Good Tuesday Morning, Donna Here!

I loooooooooove this card I created for the upcoming Christmas Holiday.  Hope you do as well.

 

This is the adorable Great Impressions stamp, E402 Oh Christmas Tree.  Isn't that mouse and his little friend (in this case a blue bird) just the sweetest???  Adorable!!!  I stamped the image on to a Sizzix Labels And Stitched Frames die cut (sans the stitched one) and added a bit of sponging using Antique Linen ink.  Copic Markers used for coloring.

 

Dotted Scallop Border and Heart String dies used.  Corrugated strip for texture, Chipboard Button, Jute Twine and Enamel Dots for accents.  I also added some chunky glitter for a snowy path. 

 

This guy looks like he is on a mission......a wonderful Christmasy Mission!
