Sunday Fun Day: KISS Christmas cards

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing KISS Christmas cards. KISS stands for "keep it simple stamping" and when you have a lot of Christmas cards to make, these are the best kind!  I turned to a layout I used a few weeks ago (see that blog post here).  I love how the DSP makes these cards come together so easily.

 

  I really like the images in this Tidings & Trimmings stamp set and the patterns in the coordinating Tidings of Christmas DSP and knew they'd be perfect for these clean and simple KISS cards.  I used Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Misty Moonlight, Soft Succulent and Basic White card stock and ink (pulled from the colors of the DSP). To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store or click on any of the images above.

 

 

 

  Here is the first card - I used cherry cobbler card stock for the mat and a basic white card base. 

 

 

  For this second card, the mat is basic white and the base card is soft succulent card stock. I stamped the decorative star with evening evergreen ink and cut it out and then popped it up on the stamped panel. Which one is your favorite?

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!

November 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Thankful/Grateful project

 

  Hi there and welcome to the November 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing projects with a Thankful/Grateful theme, which is perfect since Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I made a thank you card and matching candy favor with many of my favorite fall colors.

 

 

  I once again pulled out the Banner Year stamp set, such a great one with tons of images and sentiments perfect for this time of year.  Did you catch my project back in September that featured this set? Check it out here.  In addition, I used the Buffalo Check stamp set (sorry, I didn't realize this had retired!), along with the Double Oval and Everyday Label punches.  The color combo that I used includes Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie.  Be sure to click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to purchase.

 

 

  Here is the card - when I was designing it I envisioned a picnic blanket spread on the ground covered in beautiful fall leaves. The trees are so full of gorgeous colors here in Central Virginia right now, I love to see them when I walk my dog in the neighborhood - reds, oranges and yellows. Which is your favorite? 

 

 

 

  Since I didn't want to cover up much of the stamped background, I decided to stamp the sentiment and cut it out along with a mat using the Double Oval punch.  It was still a bit small, so I decided to add a banner of pumpkin pie card stock. I trimmed it to 1-1/2" wide and fed it through the Everyday Label punch from the top so that I could notch the end of the strip. It was still a little boring, so I spritzed the card stock with water and then crumbled it up. I then used my bone folder to flatten it out and now it kind of has a leathery look.  I really like the texture that it adds to the card!

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I kept it super simple and just stamped the leaf image down one side using all three colors to look like falling leaves. I love how it turned out!

 

 

  Here is another view of my card, you can really see the texture on the pumpkin pie card stock strip!

 

 

 

  I have a bunch of these little glass jars from the yogurt that I like and I hate to throw them away once I have eaten the yummy yogurt. I peel the labels off and run them through the dishwasher - they are perfect for holding a bone folder, my paper snips and Tombow adhesive (upside down so the glue is always at the tip). I thought it would be fun to fill one with chocolates and decorate it as a little favor. Wouldn't this be a cute little addition for each guest at your Thanksgiving table?!  I was thinking the scalloped ovals look a little like feathers or leaves. I inked up the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment (it is a single line, so inked each word separately to ad to the bumblebee oval), then glued them together and punched a hole in the top so I could tie them to the jar with linen thread. 

 

 

   Here is a close up of the tag - looks cute, right?!  I hope you and your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!  Be sure to visit each of the participating bloggers on the hop using the links below for even more inspiration.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Sunday Fun Day: Sailing Home card set

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects created using the Sailing Home stamp set.  I decided to make a card set once again using the Harvest Meadow DSP and featuring a color combo of Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Basic White.

 

  When I looked at this stamp set I knew I wanted to use Misty Moonlight since it reminds me of the blue ocean.  I remembered that Misty Moonlight is included in the Harvest Meadow DSP and that I had used the crumb cake pattern last week for the monochromatic card. I thought it would work great with this stamp set. In addition, I also used the Stitched So Sweetly dies, Checks and Dots embossing folders and twine from the Flowers for Every Occasion ribbon pack.   To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store or click on any of the images above.

 

 

 

  This first card is a thank you card and features the large sail boat image which fit perfectly in the largest label die from the Stitched So Sweetly set.  I wanted to add some fun texture so used the checkered embossing folder from the Checks and Dots set.  I added a simple strip of crumb cake card stock stamped with the Thanks sentiment and notched the ends with my paper snips.  I left the inside of the card blank.

 

 

 

  My second card features the lighthouse image that I stamped on crumb cake card stock. I added a simple bow tied from the bakers twin included in the Flowers for Every Occasion pack.  I tried stamping the Congrats directly on the DSP, but it didn't show up well enough so I stamped it again on a strip of basic white card stock, notched the end and added it to the DSP.  A simple card, but I really like how it turned out!

Sunday Fun Day: Thinking of You with Harvest Meadow Positive Thoughts

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Thinking of You projects, and to me that usually means someone needs hugs, prayers and love.  I decided to make a card set using the Harvest Meadow DSP and the Positive Thoughts stamp set as I love the images and sentiments in this set. I also used a card layout that I saw on Pinterest earlier this week (see it here). I think it is perfect for showcasing beautiful DSP patterns from the same pack that coordinate so well together.

 

  With fall fully upon us here in Central Virginia, I knew I wanted to use the Harvest Meadow DSP pack from the Holiday catalog. The colors are beautiful and I pulled Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulents for the card stock and ink from the papers.  And don't you agree that the Positive Thoughts stamp set is perfect for this theme today?  Using the Label Me Lovely punch for the center stamped panel on each card worked out perfectly and there was plenty of room to add texture from a bow tied with linen thread.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store or click on any of the images above.

 

 

  This first card features the Soft Succulent and Misty Moonlight patterns. The foliage image from the stamp set was perfect for this card. I stamped the image on the inside panel of the card as well.

 

 

 

  This card features the Cajun Craze and Bumblebee patterns and I thought it was perfect for the flower image in the stamp set. I included the butterfly on the inside panel.

 

 

 

   Here is a monochromatic Crumb Cake card. The images are inked with Crumb Cake ink and the sentiments were done with Soft Suede ink.  I used the feather image for the front of the card and the foliage image for the inside panel.

 

 

 

  Here is my last card featuring Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight DSP patterns. I used the flower image on the front panel and the butterfly for the inside (both stamped off before added to the basic white card stock).  This card may be my favorite - which one is yours?

Sunday Fun Day: Happy Halloween!

 

  Hello and Happy Halloween!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Halloween projects.  I decided to make a little favor treat bag to take to our neighbors across the street. My dog Bruno will be terrified of the constantly ringing doorbell tonight, so sadly I will not be handing out candy.

 

  I once again used this fun Clever Cats stamp set along with a middle sized rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store. 

 

 

  I pulled out my Tuxedo Black Memento pad, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie ink pads and stamped the smaller images from the stamp set onto white tissue paper to make it more festive. Did you know that you can stamp on tissue paper to personalize it for any occasion? I haven't done this in a while and forgot how messy it can be - be sure to let it dry completely so you don't smudge! 

 

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the stamped panel that I attached to the front of the gift bag with stampin' dimensionals. I think this kitty cat is the cutest!  Remember how I warned you about smudging above? Well, I had some of the gorgeous grape ink on my fingers after inking the tissue paper and smudged my stamped panel when attaching it to the bag. You can see it a little by the cat's tail - I just stamped the sentiment again on a piece of Highland Heather card stock and snipped it to make a banner and hide it. Bet you wouldn't have known if I had not told you, right? Don't ever fret over a smudge, use it as an opportunity to add another layer.  

 

 

   Here is one last look at my little favor bag. I think it turned out super-cute!  Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great Halloween ideas and inspiration!!

Sunday Fun Day: Christmas card set featuring a fun card sketch

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards made using a fun card sketch, courtesy of Karla.

 

 

  This is the layout that we are using for this week's projects. I stuck pretty close to it with my two cards today that feature a few products from the Holiday catalog.

 

 

  I chose to use the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set along with the Gingerbread & Peppermint 6" x 6" DSP from the Holiday catalog along with the largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies set.  To purchase the items used with today's project - please hop over to my Stampin' Up! store.

 

 

 

  This first card feaures the tiny peppermint DSP for the corners and I cut out the cookie cutter Christmas tree from one of the sheets. I started with a 3" x 3" piece of the DSP that I cut in half diagonally.  The sentiment was inked with cinnamon cider, old olive and real red stampin' write markers. To top off the tree, I added a basic rhinestone for a little bling.  For the inside of the card, I just added a simple strip of the DSP that features larger peppermint candies.

 

 

 

   For my second card I used this fun swirly patterned DSP and cut out a snowflake, which I adorned with a basic rhinestone right in the center.  The sentiment was inked with old olive ink and I added a strip of the same DSP to the inside of the card.

 

 

 

   So which one do you like better? My daughter Amanda prefers the Christmas Tree card, but I think I like the snowflake one just a little bit better.  I plan to make more of these quick & easy cards to send out to my friends and family this year.  I hope I have inspired you to get started on  your Christmas cards also! Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great card ideas featuring this great card layout for additional ideas and inspiration!!

Sunday Fun Day: Halloween trick-or-treat!!

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Halloween treats and I once again went with my favorite 2-4-6-8 favor box.  I thought I had ordered Halloween DSP, but alas I did not. So, I did the next best thing and created my own using various images from the Clever Cats stamp set that I used for my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop project a few days ago (see that post here). 

 

  The products I used with today's project include the Clever Cats stamp set, Label Me Lovely punch and Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon, which I colored with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends marker.  Click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to place an online order.

 

 

  These little favor boxes come together so quickly from just half a sheet of card stock - just cut it in half so it is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", then score it on the long side at 2", 4", 6" and 8" so you have four 2" panels and one 1/2" flap. Next, rotate the card stock 90 degrees and score at 4". Cut the bottom flaps, trim the corners and glue it together - easy-peasey!  For more detailed directions, see this PDF from my Countdown to Christmas 2020.

 

 

 

   And here is a close-up of the panel - I stamped the solid pumpkin image with Mango Melody ink and then added the detailed jack-o-lantern image over it with a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad (best to use this since the stamp set is photopolymer). I added the kitty cat, which I somehow managed to miss sitting directly on the pumpkin, and the sentiment.  The hardest part of this project was threading the ribbon through the tiny holes.  I didn't tie a knot so it is easy to open the favor without destroying it.

 

 

   Here is one last look at my favor box.  I hope I have inspired you with my stamped Halloween treat. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great card Halloween treat ideas and inspiration!!

October 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Chalkboard Technique

 

  Hi there and welcome to the October 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing cards featuring the Chalkboard technique and I thought it would be fun to use the Clever Cats stamp set that I just got in my last order to make a fun Halloween card.

 

 

  I think this Clever Cats stamp set from the Holiday catalog is so fun for Halloween, lots of non-spooky images and sentiments to use for kids of all ages.  The color scheme I am using includes Basic Black along with several of the Brights: Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody. I used only Whisper White craft ink for the "chalk" and for the inside of the card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The Black & White 1/4" Gingham ribbon sure is fun! You can color it with stampin' blends, but I left it as is for this card.  The added texture on the Gorgeous Grape card stock is from the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Be sure to click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store to purchase.

 

 

  Here is a view from above of the card - you can really see the texture and the fun chalkboard effect. To make it look even more like a chalkboard, I took a Q-tip and lightly brushed the Whisper White craft ink in different areas on the basic black card stock.  Here's a tip - I was off just a smidge when I added the peeking cat to the top of the jack-o-lantern image. I was able to use a Blender Pen and fill in the blank space easily!

 

 

  Here is a sideview of the stamped panel where you can really see the smudged chalk look that I was going for - what do you think? Does it look realistic?  I just love this little gingham ribbon bow!

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I kept it super simple and added a few of the fun images from the set using Tuxedo Black ink. Since this is a photopolymer stamp set, that is my go-to ink for black images. Isn't that cat in the corner so funny?!

 

 

  Here is one last view of my Halloween card featuring the chalkboard technique. I hope I have inspired you to make some cards using this technique. For even more card inspiration and ideas, be sure to check out the other designer's blog posts using the links below.

 

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

Sunday Fun Day: Seashells and Vellum Birthday Card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing cards featuring vellum cardstock. I must admit, I had to dust off my pack as it has been quite a while since I've used it.  The hardest part about vellum is adhering it - since it is totally translucent, it is hard to hide the glue. I decided to use a very busy texture folder and use little drops of Tombow multipurpose liquid glue strategically under a card stock strip with the sentiment as well as in the corners under the design.  If you look really closely, you can spot it, but I think it turned out okay.

 

 

  The products I used with today's project include the 8-1/2" x 11" Vellum cardstock, Friends are Like Seashells stamp set, coordinating Seashells 3D embossing folder and Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack.

 

 

 

   Here is another view of my card - the rhinestones show up a little better in this view and look a little like water drops to me.  At least that is the look I was going for - did it work?  

 

 

 

  From this angle, you can see the great texture provided by the Seashells 3D embossing folder on the vellum cardstock.  I found that having a piece of the darker Pacific Point cardstock underneath really brought out the white design details. I added these to a base card of Coastal Cabana card stock since it looks so great with Pacific Point, very beach-y.  Although the bakers twine is misty moonlight, it does match the blue of the Pacific Point card stock that shows through the vellum.

 

 

 

   And here is how I stamped the inside of my card - I used Coastal Cabana ink with the large shell in the corner and stamped the sentiment with Pacific Point ink, leaving lots of room to write.

 

 

   Here is one last look at my card.  I hope I have inspired you with my vellum card. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great card ideas and inspiration and to find out who won the Blog Candy from last week's post!!
