Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Hello and welcome to this months Stampers Showcase of the July to December Mini Catalogue which features a bunch of new Holiday Season items, as well as some returning favourites. I've created a card using one of my favourite "go to" designs which is perfect for highlighting DSP, and one of the returning favorites in the catalogue is the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. For the card today, I cut a strip of the foiled paper featuring snowflakes, then lightly applied Blushing Bride to soften the stark white for my non-traditional coloured Christmas Card. After silver embossing the sentiment from Snowflake Season, then popped up the Blushing Bride layers with dimensionals.  And that's it, a quick and easy card that lets the gorgeous Designer Series Paper do all the work (with just a little help from the sentiment). Sometimes "keeping it simple" really does work! I can't wait for you to see all the other inspiration from the new catalogue in...

After my little mishap with my first card I was actaully feeling pretty good from the "salvage process" and thought - make another card with that left over piece of DSP. In a jiffy I had the card planned, this design is one of my "go to" designs for using up strips of DSP, and it hasn't disappointed yet! In a nut shell, use your strip of DSP, then add a raised layer of card stock (or you could just do a flat layer, but I love the raised look). As with the card on Sunday, I added the frosty goodness of Ice Stampin' Glitter for my bling. The small sentiments in Itty Bitty Christmas gave me a challenge, so many to choose from, finally I decided on "joy to the world", I really like the mixture of fonts.

I've wanted to create for the past few days, but my mojo hasn't been my friend - today I decided no matter what I was going to finish a card..... here's how the story goes... First I cleaned my craft desk, with the help of Rimmer - he's been clinging to me the past week, poor little fella got a bit over playful with our Bengal, and now they are no where near being friends, he cowers at the sight of her. So when the desk was cleared I saw my Feels Like Frost DSP - perfect, I thought, this paper is so gorgeous it will do pretty much all the work for me, and I should have a card in no time... or so I thought... Can you believe it, I dropped my stamp, I was so annoyed with myself - can mojo please shine on me soon? I hoped that as I had stamped with VersaMark to then emboss, the ink would dry clear and I could restamp, but my ink pad is well loved and a little stained with colour so, no such luck, what to do? I decided to make a raised sentiment, and ...

I have a totally different looking card using the Feels Like Frost DSP today. Not only does this gorgeous designer paper captures the wonder of winter with photographic imagery, the other side features hand-drawn designs with silver foil, and it is just stunning paired with some silver embossing. I created this card using the piece of DSP left over from the card below, now all I have left from 1 piece of 6 x 6 DSP is a few narrow strips - that checks all my boxes, I hate wasting gorgeous DSP. You could simply lay the foil DSP on top or your card front, or dress things up a little by using raised layers. Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project.
