Christmas, Valentine's Day & Friendship

Love my new Uniko Rustic Wreath stamp set & at least I made one card before loosing the tiny dots stamp!  Anyway, the wreath was silver embossed & the dots were stamped in Ultimate Metallic Blue & clear embossed.
I added some silver splatters & attached it to a silver embossed circle.  The sentiment from the same set was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist, die cut with a circle & mounted with foam tape.
Love the pine needles embossing folder which made the perfect background, I think.  I'm entering Uniko Challenge 57 & Rudolph Days.

Time Out Challenges has a fun theme--be inspired by something in your wardrobe.  I always got compliments when I wore this skirt with my red heels.
The Penny Black stamp called blissful is an old favorite which I white embossed on black cardstock.  I trimmed it down & mounted it to a black A2 panel. 
The MFT sentiment was white embossed on a black scrap & layered with a bit of red.  I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & The Snippets Playground

Last is another entry for the Pinkfresh January Challenge.  This time I used the April theme of frames & shakers using my new PFS Circle Frame with Botanicals that was part of the wonderful giveaway I won from Ivana.
I used 2 more of the PFS Delicate Blooms die cuts still on my table.  These were colored with DI tattered rose, tumbled glass & cracked pistachio.  I attached the blooms between 2 layers of the frame die cuts & stamped the sentiment from PFS Delicate Wreath in Versafine Clair Morning Mist.  I used a sparkle pen on the blooms & the circle frame.
The beautiful printed papers are from the PFS Felicity pad & I finished it off with gray splatters & clear sequins.  Looks kind of springy, but I'll probably send it as a Valentine.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

  1. three lovlies, Greta - the b & w is stunning and love the soft colors in the last one - if i did a card from my wardrobe it would be pretty boring - stripes, black or navy.

  3. That silver wreath is so beautiful and those dots are sure tiny! Wish I could see you modeling that skirt with your red heels. It will be pretty to wear on Valentine's day for dinner with hubby as you give him that matching Valentine. The sweet blooms look so pretty in that circle frame.

  5. oh I don't think my comment went through from earlier...but it was somewhere along the lines of...I love that skirt and bet I would love the red shoes too! I thought you had embossed on white card but wow to doing it the other way around-looks amazing. And then to add the layered strips-perfect for a touch of colour. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog and for joining Time Out x

  9. All the cards are so beautiful and well designed. My favorite is the silver wreath however and I feel so bad you lost the little dots. But perhaps you can make dots with a fine line marker that will still make the same look.

  11. Fabulous grouping of cards, Greta. I get so frustrated when I lose a stamp and lately I seem to be having an epidemic of lost stamps...whole sets..bits and pieces. I especially love that wreath, and the soft colors in your die cuts. YOur wardrobe inspiration is lovely.

  19. OOOH, such an elegant christmas card, Greta! I love the silver and white and the embossed background is perfect. I once lost a tiny I.O. Sentiment die so now i put even the tiniest supplies in large envelopes. :) Thank you so much for playing along with the Rudolph Days challenge.

  20. Three fab cards Greta, hope you can keep those tiny berry stamps safe! The subtle textured background to your wreath works well too.

  21. Wonderful card Greta - especially your snippets one, I love it. And your skirt is fab - can just imagine it worn with red heels! I hope your little dots stamps turns up. It happens to me quite often and eventually things do reappear. Fingers crossed! PS, I hope you're not paying massive postage to the USA for Uniko stuff - Bev is very fair but I could always forward it on from me if the difference is worthwhile.

    Hugs

  23. So much to look at - I'm off to make a cuppa so I can browse at my leisure! Ah! that's better. Slurp! What a gorgeous group of cards Greta. I like the way you explain what you've used. The Wreath care with silver and pops of blue is so elegant. I love the drama of the black and white inspired by your skirt and the pretty delicate look of the Hello friend card. Thanks for the inspiration.
