Night in Bethlehem

Hey friends!

Here was the second of the Artisan Stamp Club cards we made last week. (if you missed the first one, you can go back and see Friday's post!). I wanted something that really showcased this bundle, but at the same time was quick and simple. I love the effect of this one. It would be easy to crank out a pile of these!! It may be a little late for this year - but now may be a good time to think ahead to next year!!

I used the Champagne Foil Sheets here - it is a subtle stop in between gold and silver and so, so pretty! And the star is from the Year of Cheer embellishments. Your choice of gold or silver!

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Snowflake Sentiments meets

Every once in a while, I pick up some products and a beautiful card just magically happens. It's like I don't even have a say - it just tells me what to do. That was what happened here, and I love it :)

That snowflake border, though! So pretty! I will let you know - this is one of the framelits that you'll want to have a new Big Shot platform and Precision Base Plate for. If you don't have one yet, you'll probably be able to identify with framelits not cutting fully through, and struggling to get small pieces out of intricate dies. No more with the Precison Base Plate!! It is a must-have for using with intricate dies like this and will make your life soooo much easier.

The rest of the card is very, very simple. Just some Year of Cheer designer series paper, silver glimmer, and some embossing. You know, all the glam. :)

What's your favorite metallic? Foil or Glimmer?

ICS Blog Hop: Tags & Trimmings

Hi everyone! I am a new hopper on the Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop, and I am super excited to be joining this group of talented artists! Please enjoy my post, leave me a comment so I know you were here (we bloggers need lots of encouragement!), and when you get to the bottom, click on that NEXT arrow to visit the next blogger in the hop.

Today, I'd like to share with you a card I made with my stamp club. I LOVE to take products that you wouldn't normally put together and make something beautiful with them. This month, I used the Tags & Trimmings bundle along with the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack. Unconventional Christmas card colors, for sure! But I love the finished product, and I hope you do too!

It's hard to see the glimmer in the snowflake in the photo, so I took a closer look at the card so you could see it - it's so pretty!! And also notice those layers - it is my go-to-standby-everybody's-gotta-have-it duo of the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Circles Framelits. Non-negotiable, guys. They will up your layer game for sure! Also the Triple Banner Punch. I pull that thing out for at least every other card I make. The unsung hero in this card, though, is the Whisper White Craft Stampin' Ink Pad. It shows up as beautifully white snowflakes against a Berry Burst background. Give it a couple of minutes to let dry after you stamp, though, so it doesn't smudge!

Thanks for stopping by today! If you like what you see and you'd like to create it at home, you can always visit the Stampin' Up! online store. If you don't have a demonstrator (and you're in Canada!), I'd love to be yours, whether you're near or far. If you already have a demonstrator, you can contact them about how to get these products.

Now, go see Karie who is next on the hop!

It's a Magical Day

Hey guys!

So, if you follow me on instagram (artisansanonymous) or facebook (Stampin' Up! with Jenilee Pauls) then you'll know that my awesome husband took me to Mexico last week for my birthday, so I was a little MIA. I did have time to make this little sneak peek card before leaving though, and I wanted to share it with you! It's a mashup of current and upcoming product - and I looooove it. :) It's a combination of some of my favorite colors, and some of my favorite products. I hope you love it too!

That sweet little dragon is from this set called Magical Day, and it is part of a Myths & Magic suite that includes Specialty Designer Series Paper, Washi Tape, Glimmer Paper, and framelits!! So cute. I can't wait to ink up that knight in shining armor for Valentine's Day!

I combined this dragon with a little circle from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, and the super simple clouds with embossing paste. The sequins and ribbon add just enough texture. Love it!

ALSO - I used the blends to color these. This is one of the techniques we'll be doing as part of my Blends club - using more than one color duo to bring light and life to your images!

Enjoy!
