Unfrogettable Stamping!

September 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Christmas Creations

 

  Hi there and welcome to the September 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing Christmas cards and featuring products from the new Holiday catalog.  Have you seen the Holiday catalog? If not, be sure to check it out online here in my Stampin' Up! store.  What are your favorite items and must-have's on your wish list?  I created this clean and simple Christmas card using a few of my favorite items. How stinkin' cute is this penguin dressed up as Rudolph?!

 

 

  I absolutely fell in love with the Penguin Place bundle (stamp set and coordinating punch), Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP, Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set and the fun Real Red 3/8" Mini Ruffled ribbon.  Click on any of the images above to visit my Stampin' Up! store. 

 

 

  Here is a view from above of the card - you can really see how ruffly and textured this beautiful ribbon is!  And I can't get over how cute this little penguin is.

 

 

 

  Here is a sideview of the penguin - I stamped his antlers on the basic white panel, then lined up the punch. It would have been too much work to cut out the antlers!

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I added a strip of the DSP that I had in my stash from a prior project and added another sentiment from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my clean and simple (CAS) Christmas card. I hope I have inspired you to make a CAS Christmas card - these are so much easier to duplicate en masse and ones that would be appreciated by your family and friends.

August 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop: Cards that Move

 

  Hi there and welcome to the August 2021 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are sharing cards that move and I decided to create a moving 2-fold card that I saw on Pinterest (see it here) that was created by Mary Deatherage. I love this card technique and hope you do, too! I changed up my dimensions just a bit to make it easier to cut - I'll share those soon.

 

  I wanted to use the new Penguin Place bundle (stamp set and coordinating punch) from the Holiday catalog along with the matching Penguin Playmates DSP that is a Sale-a-Bration selection free with a $50 purchase. I also used one of the new Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments - don't you love it?  

 

 

  Here is a view from above of the card - there are a lot of folds involved but I like how the accordion fold opens the card.  It does make it hard to photograph, though!  Check out all the fun patterns I used from the Penguin Playmates DSP!!  The colors are so fun and the images are cute.

 

 

  For this front panel, I relied heavily on the DSP. The dotted background and little penguin are from the DSP. I like how the pretty Wonderful Snowflake embellishment shines in the background.  I added a sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set inked with Fresh Freesia on top to complete the front panel.  I think the tree patterned DSP is really bright and fun, too!

  The back of that front panel also includes another fun piece of the DSP.  You can also see how I completed the inside of the card as well as the DSP panels on the accordion folds that work to open the card.

 

 

  For the inside of the card, I added a few more strips of the colorful striped DSP and added a sentiment stamped in Misty Moonlight DSP. The penguin was stamped on a separate sheet of basic white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black and Calypso Coral ink and then cut out using the coordinating punch (easy-peasey!).  I used a stampin' dimensional to raise him up a little for contrast.

 

 

  Here is one last view of my closed card. I hope you've enjoyed my moving 2-fold card featuring the Penguin Place product suite. For even more moving cards 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: Holly Jolly Wishes CAS Christmas card

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday!  For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made with our favorite new stamp sets from the Holiday catalog that debuts on Tuesday!!  I always love to get word sets, and the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set was first on my list from this catalog. I love the different fonts and the sentiments themselves are great, too.  I also used the Tidings of Christmas DSP from the Annual catalog along with several punches to create my Clean & Simple (CAS) Christmas card.  

 

  Here is another view of my card - I relied heavily on several punches to pull this design together and let the beautiful DSP be the star of the card.  I've used this DSP twice now on other projects - be sure to check out my 6x6 OSW project here and my all about bling card here.

 

 

 

  I cut the sentiment out using the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch and layered it on a piece of real red card stock cut out using the Label Me Lovely punch.  To add a little more interest, I mimicked the foliage in the DSP using the Sprig punch with basic white and soft succulent card stock.

 

 

 

  I kept the inside of the card super simple with just a strip of DSP and another sentiment from the stamp set stamped with real red ink.

 

 

 

   Here is one last look at card.  I hope I have inspired you to get a jump start on your Christmas cards. Don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more card ideas and inspiration from the Holiday catalog. 

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
