Christmas Means More
.
I love this sentiment from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. This stamp set is called Christmas Means More and there are other sentiments in this set that I like too. This card was inspired by Mary Fish, although I didn't have the same ribbon she had which was the Shaded Spruce Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack. I used her measurements for my card.
1. The base of the card is 4-1/4” x 11” and
scored at 3-1/2” and 9.
2. Cut the Tis the Season DSP at 3-1/4” x 4”
and 1-3/4” x 4.
3. Whisper White cardstock is die cut with the
Stitched Shape Dies at 2-5/8” Square and with the Stitched Rectangle Dies at
3-3/8” x 4-3/4”.
4. Cut the Shaded Spruce cardstock at 3-1/8”
square and the Cherry Cobbler cardstock at 2-7/8” square.
5. Adhere the DSP to outside flaps of the
cards with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.
6. Adhere half the Shaded Spruce square to the
left side with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.
7. Cut the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon about
14”. Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the
ribbon on the Shaded Spruce square and then wrap around the entire card.
8. Attach two Jingle Bells to some Metallic
Mesh Ribbon and tie it all together in a bow on the side.
9. Ink up the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink
and stamp on the Whisper White Stitched Shape Square. Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler Square with Seal
Adhesive.
10. Attach to Shaded Spruce Square with Seal
Adhesive or Dimensionals.
11. Color the bells with Smoky Slate
Blends. Add Wink of Stella.

Rooted in Nature - Thank you Card
We all need "Thank You" cards to show our appreciation for something we receive from others. I needed to make one for a customer in another state and this is the card I made which is similar to one I made a couple years ago with the Rooted in Nature set. The colors are different as well as the sentiment and label. Sometimes, I refer back to some of the original artwork for ideas. I just change it up a bit which you can do with other cards you might see on Pinterest, Blogs, or Websites. Sometimes, I just Case the card exactly as it is if I really like it and don't change a thing, but always give credit to the artist. Also, this card can be used for any occasion by just changing the sentiment to a birthday, Get Well, etc.

Christmas Means More - Angel-Dove Wings
"Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets its Wings" which is from the old movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. I didn't see that movie until I was in my 30's. It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.
I bought the Jingle Bells last year and so glad they were carried over so that I could create this card. This is the card I made that my customers fell in love with and wanted to buy the Dove of Hope set.
the card was inspired by Tricia Chuba on how to make the angel wings, but I made my card different than hers. The wings are die-cut and then one is reversed and I used Versamark ink and Clear Embossing Powder to create shiny wings. The sentiment is also embossed with Versamark and then Pretty Peacock inks, then Clear Embossing Powder heat set with the Heat Tool. I used the Metallic Mesh Ribbon to tie on the gold jingle bell. Here are all the products I used:

Dove of Hope Case
The stamp set Dove of Hope doesn't do it justice in the catalog. This is a card I cased from Akiko Sudana because it is an absolutely beautiful card using the Snowflake Splendor DSP in the background. My club members made it on Sunday and thought it was stamped in the background. They liked the card so much that a lot of them ordered the Bundle especially when I showed them a card I made making the dove wings into angel wings which I'll post more about it in the future, but here's the card.
Products I used to make the Dove of Hope card with the sentiment "Peace on Earth" on the front.
