Now, time for my first projects with The Stencil Specialist.
You can learn more about each card by clicking on the photo.

This pair of cards use the Pine Ornaments Cling Rubber Stamp and Gold Tinsel Glitter Embossing Powder.  These CAS designs were quick and easy to prepare and assemble.



Here is a close-up pic showing the delicate detail of the stamp
and the stunning sparkle of the tinsel embossing powder.


This pair of cards use the Pine Ornaments Cling Rubber Stamp and Rose Gold Embossing Enamel.




Here is a close-up pic showing the beautiful detail of the stamp
and the delicate shimmer of the rose gold embossing enamel.


For this next card, I stamped the Pine Ornaments and coloured them with Copic markers.


And lucky last comes some burlap and woodgrain.
I stamped the Pine Ornaments, masked the ornaments, inked the background with Distress Inks, coloured the ornaments with Copic markers and finished them off with a touch of Wink Of Stella.
I considered adding some sparkling clear sequins to this card.
What do you think?  Add some?


Here is a close-up pic showing the sparkle of the golden ornaments.


That's all my cards for today.
I hope that I have inspired you and that you can see how versatile
the Pine Ornaments stamp can be, from sparkling elegance
to bold & bright, even rustic too.

  1. Just me Tracy. Fist of all, thank you for joining our team. Secondly, WOW! What a wonderful set of cards you have created. This stamp lends itself to be used in so many ways and you have definitely highlighted this with what you have created. I love them all and please don't add sequins to your rustic card. I think that would take away from the beautifully coloured baubles.

  9. All of your cards are so beautifully done! I had to go take a look at the details for the last card to see what colors you used to achieve that beautiful coloring you did on the ornaments. Unfortunately, some of them are colors I don't have. I am lacking in the yellow and orange part of my collection (I am grateful just to have a collection! There was a time I didn't think I was even interested in Copics. I think watching Sandy Alnock videos changed my mind =) ).

    I am so happy for you to have earned a place on this design team! You really did a great job of showing that there many ways to use this one set.

    1. Thank You SO MUCH Marianne :)
      Yes, the Copics are ever so addictive. I highly recommend the yellows I used for when you get the chance to buy some more, they blend perfectly together and come in so handy for both yellow and gold combinations.

  10. Hey Tracy, I'm from Victoria as well. I can't decide whether I like the rose gold sparkle or the copic coloured baubles best...Nope, they are an even first in my book. The rose gold I prefer as I believe it's more subtle and the copic coloured baubles are just wonderful. I have some markers and am yet to give them a try...Best I do so before they dry up and blow away...;-)
    Gorgeous cards Tracy...looking forward to seeing more of them.

      Yes, you really do need to pop the lids on your markers! It opens another exciting and creative world to explore!
