As promised, more of my favorite OnStage swaps from last week. This unique layout caught my eye! Jo Ann Harris created this card using Peaceful Poinsettia Bundle #149962, New Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and Blends Markers.
The images are heat embossed with Silver and this poinsettia is shimmered with Wink of Stella #141897.
I especially love the slashes of Silver Glimmer Paper!! #146960
Here is a DELIGHTFUL birthday creation by Jackie O'Bryan of KS. Black really POPS the colors!! This is the cute Broadway Birthday Bundle #148321.
Check out this UNIQUE detail: she ran a circle of Window Sheet #142314 thru the Subtle Embossing Folder # 143706!!! Very interesting texture!!
All the color strips are popped out using the Foam Adhesive Strips #141825! This is a HAPPY card for ANYONE's Birthday!
Everyone needs Gift Card Holders for the Holiday. This one is very easy!
Cut base card stock 4-1/4" x 11", and score at 5-1/2" and 8-1/2". Use about a 1" circle punch to punch a thumb hole in the edge of the card stock. This edge folds to the inside of the card and is attached only on the side edges with strong adhesive like Tear & Tape #138995. Attach the inside layer that is 4" X 2-1/2". Last, close your card and attach the front layer so it hides the inside layer. The lovely sentiment is from the Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set #147702.
Here is a FUN "easel card" made with the Dashing Deer Stamp Set #147728! It's easy to create.
Cut the base cardstock 4-1/4" X 11, scored at 5-1/2" and 8-1/4". Create your card and attach only the lower half of the front layer. Inside, place a "STOP" for the lower front edge of the card to rest against. I often place a sentiment on the "stop." The "stop" needs to be dimensionalized. Very simply and impressive! Try it!
Interlocking Gate Fold cards are FUN and impressive!!
Making Christmas Bright Bundle #149947 contains a Punch! This bundle is a good choice for this fancy fold format.
The punched Christmas lights are layered onto the 1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch #146139 and mounted on alternate sides of the center opening with Dimensionals. It's simple!
The ADORABLE "All is Bright Designer Series Paper" #14789 pops this format!! Try this!

This deer is die cut from Gold Foil #132622. I applied Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets #144106 on both the Black and Gold Foils before die cutting with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine #143263. The deer die cuts become "stickers," which are SIMPLE to apply!!

Farmhouse Christmas Bundle #147922 is FUN!! I created a wintery scene with lot of white for snow. The house and porch have frosty roofs created with Clear Wink of Stella #141897. It dries very quickly.
This bundle could easily create a spooky Halloween scene, too.

This one substitutes an edge of ribbon for the punched strip. The images are shimmered with Clear Wink of Stella #141897.
First Frost is such a pretty, versatile stamp set!!
Such a HAPPY fellow because he is surrounded by HAPPY COLORS of Real Red and Granny Apple Green! This is an easy format: simply cut 1" off the right front edge of your basic card. That piece becomes the banner by tucking 1" under the inside Whisper White layer and folding back over the front! PRESTO!
This arrow shows where the 1" banner tab is tucked under the inside white layer.
Blends were used to color the Spirited Snowman #148072. Time to start those Christmas cards!
Christmas is coming FAST!! Here is a quick, inexpensive little gift idea. These are composition books covered with the BEAUTIFUL "All is Bright" Designer Series Paper #147892.
I placed Tear & Tape #138995 on all edges of the book. I avoided the fabric spine because it flexes when the book opens. Next I placed a straight edge of the designer paper right along the fabric spine, smooth the paper, opened the cover and cut away the excess designer paper.
This paper is colorful and playful! This book would make a great Christmas Shopping List or Teacher gift!
This paper is from the same package, but has an elegant feel.
Try covering any size book that suits your needs. It's easy!!
Color makes all the difference!! I'm playing with all the Buffalo Check samples I recently made and posted. LOVE the versatility of the Buffalo Check Background Stamp #147797!!
Checks stamped in NEW Mango Melody ink give a BRIGHT, CRISP feel. It's happy and youthful. This sweet little lion is from A Little Wild Stamp Set #144344.
Cherry Cobbler and NEW Shaded Spruce inks create a wonderful CLASSIC, traditional Christmas feeling. Notice I added added lines within the checks with Shaded Spruce BLENDS marker! Sure changes the look. This adorable little tree is from Timeless Tidings Stamp Set #148936
Lastly, Canjun Craze ink feels like chilly autumn and flannel shirts. I added TWO lines within the checks using Old Olive and Daffodil BLENDS markers. The sentiment is from Labels to Love Stamp Set #144967.
Buffalo Check Background Stamp does it ALL!! It's a MUST for your collection!!

Eliminate the Christmas tree in the back of the truck to create a MASCULINE Birthday Card!! Increase the versatility of this Farmhouse Christmas Bundle #147922.

REMEMBER the men in your life with a special "guy card!"
From Woodsman to Sweet Baby, BUFFALO CHECK background stamp #147797 has you covered!
The Stamparatus Positioning Tools lets you print perfect checks. If you don't have that tool yet, this is my preferred printing method for large background stamps: lay the stamp rubber UP, ink up the stamp well, lay cardstock on top. Place a large piece of scrap paper on top and RUB thoroughly with your hand both horizontally and verically. You see my scrap paper on the right. Lift the cardstock straight up.
The dark colored cardstock does not grab the ink as well as Whisper White and Very Vanilla. But this looks like FANNEL to me, perfect for masculine, outdoorsy cards! Black ink on Soft Suede Cardstock. Black ink on Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.
The soft colors on Whisper White are Balmy Blue, Powder Pink and Sea Form. They remind me of Spring, Easter and BABIES!
Crisp, bright Mango Melody and Real Red look like PICNICS and summer!
CHANGE your check to a PLAID!! Simply draw consistent straight lines - SO EASY. I love BLENDS for this because the color goes on even. Start your lines OFF the edge of the cardstock. This is Cajun Craze ink on Whisper White Cardstock with Old Olive and Daffodil Blends. Definitely AUTUMN!
Just check out the variety and VERSATILITY of Buffalo Check!! You MUST add this multi-occasion stamp from the Holiday Catalog to your collection!
This is an elegant Angel for sure! I've heat emboss her in Copper to coordinate with the copper snowflakes in this lovely Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper #147816.
