Unfrogettable Stamping!: December 2019

Fabulous Friday: Winter Birthday Card

Hello and Happy Friday! It is so hard to believe that Christmas is over already. Although it has been a balmy 68 degrees the last couple of days here in Central Virginia, Rachel tasked us with creating winter-themed cards for Fabulous Friday this week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog. I had ordered the Snowman Builder Punch and forgotten all about it until today - I unwrapped it and used it for this winter birthday card along with some fun snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

I decided to use a fun color palette for my winter card: balmy blue and highland heather from the Subtles family along with crumb cake and whisper white. You can't really see it, but there is plenty of Wink of Stella glitter all over the snowflakes and sentiment banner.

Here is a close-up of the snowman - I cheated and colored the whisper white carrot nose piece with a Terracotta Tile stampin' write marker instead of cutting it out separately from that card stock (since I already had one from cutting out the snowman) and drew on the eyes and buttons with a basic black stampin' write marker. Here you can see where I colored the crumb cake banner with the Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush to give it some shimmer. It's harder to see on the snowflakes.

Here is how I stamped the inside of the card - I kept it super simple and left plenty of room to write a personal note.

Here is one more look at my fun Snowman winter birthday card. For even more winter card ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Last-minute Gift Card Holder idea

Hello and Happy Friday! It is so hard to believe that Christmas is less than a week away! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we created Quick & Easy Christmas gift card holders for our Fabulous Friday projects. Once again I pulled out the Wrapped in Plaid DSP (I love these!) and paired it with the Dashing Deer stamp set that carried over from last year's Holiday catalog.

This is what the inside of the card looks like - there is a small vertical pocket on the inside front of the card that easily holds a gift card and then there is plenty of room to write on the other inside flap. I very simply embelished the inside of the card with more of the DSP and stamped a simple sentiment. Now all I have to do is sign the card and it is ready to give away.

Here are the directions for making this super easy gift card holder. Make sure you only glue the two short sides in green, otherwise you don't end up with a pocket. I just used a super skinny line of Tombow Multipurpose glue and it is holding beautifully. Be sure not to squish any out of the sides and use it sparingly.

Here is a close-up look at the front panel. I stamped the deer with soft suede ink then once dry I went back over it with a clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush to give him shine shimmer and shine. I also added a little bling to the sentiment strip with rhinestone jewels in the centers of the cherry cobbler flowers.

Here is a view of the pocket with a gift card inside. It easily fits and stays put.

Here is one more look at my Quick & Easy Christmas gift card holder. For even more gift card holder ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

December 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop - Glimmer, Shimmer and Shine

Hi there and welcome to the December 2019 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects that glimmer, shimmer and shine. I designed this cute little Christmas favor that holds chocolate kisses, but it is also just the right size to hold a lot of great gifts - earrings, a small ornament and other smaller items. If you haven't seen one before it is called a 2-4-6-8 box and they're super easy to make!

Here is a front view of the favor box. To make one, cut a sheet of card stock in half so that it is 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Score it on the long side at 2", 4", 6" and 8" leaving a 1/2" strip (this is why the box is called a 2-4-6-8 box!). Next, rotate the card stock a quarter turn and score at 1-1/2". If you are going to emboss the card stock, make sure you really crease the folds with a bone folder prior to doing so. Next, you'll want to notch each of the tabs and cut the tiny 1/2" x 1-1/2" corner off. Glue the side strip to close the box and then glue the bottom flaps shut. I used my retired crop-a-dile to punch holes in the top and fed through this gorgeous silver trimmed ribbon. Check out a few of the other 2-4-6-8 boxes I have created earlier here, here and here.

Here is a close-up of the tree cut out with the Pine Tree punch - so easy to use to cut the silver glimmer paper. I added it to the front of my favor box using stampin' dimensionals. I also cut a 1/2" strip of whisper white card stock and stamped the sentiment from the Dashing Deer using Shaded Spruce ink and then the two small flowers using Poppy Parade ink to match the card stock box. I embellished with a few Rhinestone basic jewels (for even more bling) and then notched the ends with my paper snips. This was also attached to the box using stampin' dimensionals.

Here is a side view of the favor box. For even more glimmer, shimmer and shine project ideas and inspiration, be sure to check out the rest of the projects on the Hop by using the links below.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!

Fabulous Friday: Tiny Tree Christmas ornament

Hello and Happy Friday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Karla asked us to design Christmas ornaments for our Fabulous Friday projects. Once again I pulled out the Wrapped in Plaid DSP along with the Pine Tree punch and created this cute little Christmas Tree ornament.

Here is a close-up of the ornament - I simply punched out 5 trees, bent them in half and glued them to each other. Before gluing the last one I taped in a piece of linen thread that I had looped so that I had something to hang it with on my Christmas tree. I embellished it with a bunch of tiny pearls - so cute!

Here is a view of the ornament from above - you can see how I glued these punched pieces of DSP together to form the 3D ornament. Did you know that you can make any 3D item using any of our punches that are symmetrical when folded in half? Pretty cool! For even more ornament ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!

Fabulous Friday: Quick & Easy Christmas Card

Hello and Happy Friday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog Rachel asked us to design Quick & Easy Christmas cards for our Fabulous Friday projects. Once again I pulled out the Perfectly Plaid stamp set because I love the font used with the sentiments (did you see last week's non-traditional Christmas card using this set?). I used a few cool tools including the Basic Patterns Decorative Mask from the Holiday catalog to create the pretty background as well as the Sprig and Timeless Label punches to pull this simple card together.

If you haven't tried these Decorative Masks they are pretty cool! You can use it like a stencil and sponge ink right through to create a background like I did, or if you're feeling adventuresome you can use a palette and embossing paste and create a very interesting texture on your card stock. And great news, this product is on the Carryover list (see the link to the full list at the bottom of this post)!!

Here is a close-up of the sentiment and focal piece of the card. I did hand-cut the sweet little pinecone after stamping it on whisper white card stock. This cherry cobbler diagonal striped ribbon is so fun and reminds me of a candy cane!

Not forgetting to stamp the inside of the card, I used cherry cobbler ink for the sentiment and added a cute little pine tree down in the corner stamped with garden green and soft suede inks.

Here is one more look at my Quick & Easy Christmas card. For even more card ideas and inspiration please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created this week.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
