Winterly Tree Tops – Thinking of you Always

Posted on July 23, 2024 by Genevieve Valdes

Hey there! I can’t believe it’s July and soon it will be Christmas. So I decided to make a card with the Winterly Tree Tops bundle to give you a sneak peak of this beautiful bundle. Perfect for making Christmas cards or any other type of card. This bundle will be available in the September – December 2024 Mini catalog and available September 4.

My card is also inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge, I used the Winterly Tree Tops bundle, Nests of Winter DSP, Designer Tags and Distressed Tile 3D to create this ‘Thinking of You’ card.

I used retired Winter Meadow DSP for the background and used Soft Sea Foam card stock to die cut the tag and embossed it with Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder then added the coordinating Natural Tones Linen Thread to the ends of the tags. The birds are die cut from the coordinating Nests of Winter DSP. The sentiment is from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set. The inside of the card I stamped the bird and colored it with watercolor pencils – Gray, Cherry Cobbler, Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry and Pecan Pie.

Thinking of You with Season of Chic

Posted on January 10, 2023 by Genevieve Valdes

Happy 2023! Hand Stamped Sentiments is back with a color challenge of Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mango Melody. Love these colors together which inspired me to create a card using the Season of Chic bundle and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.

This Season of Chic bundle is versatile for making many types of cards for all seasons. Hence the name Season Chic. I created this thinking of you card using the seashells.

I embossed the Pool Party layer with the Time Worn Type Embossing Folder. I then die cut the netting using the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. followed by stamping the shells with Mango Melody and Petal Pink on Basic White then die cutting. I also die cut the shells and leaves from Petal Pink paper. The front shell I die cut two shells the rim in Pool Party and the inside from Basic White then water-colored in Pool Party. The leaves on the right side of the card I die cut from Mango Melody. The small shell on the left side I die cut from the Distressed Gold. The sentiment I heat embossed in gold then embellished and die cut using the Tailor Made Tag dies then embellished with gold Elegant Trim. The rest of the card is embellished with Sold Faceted Gems.

Go to HSS to see more inspiration and join the challenge.
