4 Papers + 1 Die = 4 Cute Holiday Cards

I have 4 holiday cards to share on this post using only 4 pieces of designer papers

Neglected Stuff Challenge-July

I've had the Holiday Home stamp set since 2021, but haven't used it in ages.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I used 3 designer papers from Miss Kate's Gingerbread Lane paper pad with the Kraft paper with trees from the DCWV The Winter in the Woods stack. I cut each paper using the Newton's Nook Designs newly released Card Layout 4 die. Then I set the 4 frames in front of me and began mixing the different "puzzle" pieces in the frame. I have a bag of precut NND holiday images, so I started selecting images as I rearranged the different patterns in each frame. Once I decided on what each panel will look like, I began adhering the panels together. I adhered each panel to a cream card stock base. I then colored the images using similar colors from the paper. It was important to me that each card have a unique look. So I pulled different dies for the sentiments and arranged them differently on each card. I used some 3D tape to add dimension. And like that....I have 4 darling cards!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Pizza Birthday

 I adore this Newton's Nook Designs image. It's from the Newton Loves Pizza stamp set.  I placed him on  a stitched that I ink smoothed using water colors in shades of red, orange, yellows.  I placed everything on this fun pizza paper from the DCWV Good Eats 12x12 paper pad.

TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch #25

I love the simplicity of this fabulous sketch, so I've been making lots of cards using. 

Card #1-Card #5 feature papers from a 12"X12" Card stack from DCWV--Good Eats.  I've had this stack forever!  As I was looking through my Newton's Nook Designs products, I realized that I had stamp images for pizza, donuts, tacos, and ice cream, so I thought it was about time to use up some of this paper stack for a collection of food-themed cards.  I used the above sketch on all the cards, but I did put the sentiment box at the bottom of a couple of cards to balance the card out better. If you haven't tried this sketch yet, you should as it is a fun, easy sketch that yields fabulous cards!

I haven't had a chance to play with the DCWV monthly sketch challenges, so I made time to play with this fun sketch.  I used the DCWV Lemon Flower Mat Stack.  I just love the colors and designs, so I let them do the "work" on this card.  Thanks for stopping by!  ~Deb

DCWV July Sketch 2015

Supplies:
Border punch--Fiskars
Design paper--DCWV
Bow Die--Lil' Inkers
Sentiment Stamp--Paper Smooches
Swirly die--Sizzix

Today is the Day--Enjoy

This card features a new stamp set for me--Paper Smooches--Hot Concoctions.  I used DCWV Gilded Paper Stack.  This is a small card  (~3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches) using a portion of the paper from the stack. To add a bit of interest I cut the paper and added fun foam to add dimension. I stamped the cup on cardstock and die cut the small doily from DCWV. With the sentiment stamped on and a few gold dots added, I ended up with a fun little card!  Thanks for stopping by! ~D
