Merry Mistletoe & Merry Little Christmas Black & White

This is a card I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) but I can't remember where I saw the original idea. It is not your typical red & green Christmas card but I personally liked it so I made one.

Cardstock Dimensions:

Whisper White: 4-1/4"x11" scored at 5-1/2"
Whisper White: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"
Basic Black: 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"
Basic Black: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"
DSP (Trees) 2 x 3-3/4"
White Plaid DSP 3" x 3-3/4"
Black Shimmer Ribbon 20"

Using Basic Black ink stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment onto the small Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the swag in Basic Black underneath the sentiment.  Use the largest square framelit from the Stitched Shapes framelits to cut out the sentiment and swag. Cut out a scallop square using the largest square from the layering squares framelits. Adhere the white cardstock with the sentiment onto the black scalloped square using your choice of adhesive. Adhere both pieces of DSP to the Basic Black cardstock
 then adhere the scalloped square to the upper portion of the card using stampin' dimensionals to pop it up. Wrap ribbon around black cardstock and tie into a bow. Adhere entire piece to front of card base. Stamp sentiment of your choice inside the card. Voila! Your non traditional black & white card is finished!

Painted Harvest Wreath

   (Sorry it's sideways again lol)

Hi all! Hope you are still as excited about the Painted Harvest set/bundle as I am. I just cannot stop using it! I decided to do a little something different other than beautiful sunflowers/flowers. I decided to CASE (Cope and Share Everything) a Christmas card from another demonstrator. Unfortunately, I didn't have a current holiday saying so I just used the saying from the Painted Harvest stamp set. I have included instructions, dimensions and a list of supplies for you. In the list of supplies you will notice that I also added the Painted Harvest BUNDLE. If you chose this item you will get the Painted Harvest stamp set and coordinating leaf punch for 10% off!  If you would like to order anything in the list of products just click on them and you will be taken to my personal stampin up page. Make sure to create an account if you haven't done so already. Thank you in advance. I appreciate any and all orders.

Now on to the instructions

Cut all cardstock as follows: Whisper White card stock at 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4; 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" Lemon Lime Twist; 3"x3" Whisper White; 2"x5-1/2" strip of Autumn Harvest DSP (Designer Series Paper).

Adhere strip of designer paper to front of card...see sample.

Stamp bigger, less detailed sunflower stamp onto piece of 3x3 cardstock using Lemon Lime Twist Stamp Pad.

Stamp smaller, more detailed sunflower stamp directly onto other sunflower image.

Stamp small dots/seeds onto Lemon Lime Twist "wreath" using Cherry Cobbler to make the berries.

Stamp greeting in Early Espresso. In the card I cased they had used a saying that said something about being joyous or something for Christmas. I didn't have any Christmas sayings that are current so I just went ahead and used the saying from the Painted Harvest stamp set.

Take the largest stitched shaped framelit and cut out the piece that you stamped the wreath on.

Use the largest scallopped framelit from the layering squares framelits to cut out a Lemon Lime Twist Square.

Using snail adhesive or fast fuse adhere the wreath layer to the Lemon Lime Twist layer.

Take a piece of Lemon Lime Twist woven ribbon and form into a ribbon and adhere to strip of DSP with glue dots.Layer the Lemon Lime Twist piece with the wreath layer attatched using. stampin dimensionals. Voila! 

I hope you have enjoyed this card! IF you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. You can reach me at crosbylisa@hotmail.com,
