Merry Patterns-Deer

  When I saw the deer in the Merry Patterns stamp set it was the only part of the stamp that I was not sure of.  But, I found this great card posted by Marion Stempelt and loved the way the deer looked.  

Colors-Early Espresso, Soft Sky

Wood Textures Designer paper

Layering Ovals Framelits

Delicate White Doilies

  I love the wood look of the background and how the paint looks scraped off and the wood shows underneath.

Tomorrow I will share a card that shows how parts of this stamp set can be used for other than Christmas.

Merry Patterns-Tis the Season Simple card

 Doesn't this look like a simple card to make?  I think that is one of the reasons I decided to feature it.  Check out this website to see if there are more simple cards to create. badabingcrafting@blogspot.com

This stamp set is great because it is two part stamping.  First, you stamp the outline in Basic Black and then the green fills in the outline of the word season.  Very easy to place properly.

Paper- Christmas Around the World designer paper, real red Emerald Envy, and Whisper White card stock

Thinlit- Lovely Laurel, Layering Ovals

Ink- Basic black, Emerald Envy

Tomorrow I will share a simple card with a WOW factor.

Merry Patterns-Candles

There are several things I love about this card featured on a blog by stampwithamy.

1. It is pretty simple to create.

2. The embossing folder Winter Wonder is a favorite.

3. The candles are so easy to stamp.  They are a 2 step stamp.  First you stamp the outline in a dark color.  Then the candles are stamped with two separate stamps which is how you can stagger the colors.

You might wonder how I got the garland behind the candles.  I did not stamp them first but last.  I created a mask, by stamping the candles on a post it note, then placed the note over the stamped image and then stamped the pine bough.  When I took off the post it note the garland was behind the candles.

This week I am featuring the Merry Patterns stamp set which is available free with a $300 minimum order.  If you don't want to place an order for that much, then get some friends to order and when all the orders total $300 you have earned the set as one of your hostess benefits.  Check with me if you have any questions, or would like to book a party.  We can make some of the cards I am featuring this week at the party so everyone can have a chance for a hands on experience.

Tomorrow I will show off a very simple card made with this set.
