Quick Holiday Cards in Plum

Hello! As I mentioned last month, I have never really been too interested in subscription kits for card making, until now. I am hooked on the products in White Rose Crafts' December Kit. I broke my cards down into color families, and today I am sharing two cards that use mostly shades of plum.

Everything you see on these 2 cards is included in the kit except for my plain cardstock. I let the pictures from the ScrapBerry "Elegantly Festive Toppers" guide the direction of my cards. I love the high contrast of the cookies and table in this first card, so I used high contrast colors for the rest of the card.

I also used one of the stickers from the accompanying Kaisercraft "Christmas Jewel" stickers for my sentiment. I also added 3 sequins from the "Very Merry" Sparkle Blend.

I approached this card in a similar fashion, but with tearing a few extra edges and adding some white Mulberry Lace Paper. No sparkle on this one, because I didn't think it needed it.

At this very busy time of year, it's great to be able to make quick, easy-to-duplicate cards. As much as I enjoy stamping, it can be time consuming. I also love these non-traditional colors and this mix of papers. Please be sure to visit White Rose Crafts LLC to see what else is in the December Kit, as well as all of the Add-Ons. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Mediterranean Dreams Shaker

Hello! Today I have a card that features the Mediterranean Dreams Subscription Kit from White Rose Crafts.  This fabulous Subscription Kit brings together sparkling, azure Mediterranean seas, sun-bleached shores and the rich colors of vibrant Mediterranean cultures in a carefully curated kit. I knew I just had to try the Jillibean Soup shaker card and I chose to use one of the stamps (from Kaisercraft) to make my background. I stamped the seashell with Tea Dye Distress Oxide all over the background of the card. Then I applied some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide to my craft mat, spritzed it with some water, and splattered it on to my card base. Last, I inked the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide with a Mini Blending Brush. For my sentiment, I die cut a stitched rectangle from my stash, out of the pearly yellow cardstock that came in the kit and stamped it with "Wish You Were Here" stamp from the same "Summer Splash" stamp set, with StazOn Pigment ink. And ...

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
