Quick and Easy Handmade Gift Card Featuring Warm Hugs Stamp Set and Dies

Hello, my crafty friends. How are you all doing with your holiday card making? I still have plenty of cards to make before I have completed my "list." For today's card, I decided to combine my holiday gift tags with my card making.

This gift card holder uses a Whisper White note card for the base, or create your own from Whisper White cardstock (5" x 7", scored in the center at 3 1/2"). The mat is a piece of pattern paper from Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (3 1/2" x 4"), leaving 1" along the bottom of the note card to stamp the sentiment from the Warm Hugs Stamp Set. DO NOT FORGET: The DSP is on sale yet (15% off) through Saturday, October 31!

The gift tag embellishment build is created using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, plus super cute stamping and die cuts from the Warm Hugs Bundle: Warm Hugs Stamp Set and coordinating Warm Wraps Dies. Love the Vellum accent and the Braided Linen Trim (it curls!!). Inside I created a slot for a gift card with a 3 1/2" x 2" strip of Whisper White (and since the gift card must go vertical in a note card, the circle punch access at the top is not necessary).

I created a collection of gift-giving projects with the Warm Hugs Bundle. Instructions on requesting a pdf of the instructions is in the business section below my sign off.

The Simple Stamping Challenge for October is to create a Thank You card with only stamps, ink, paper, and ribbon. To see my card, click HERE for my post from earlier this month. Today's card is modeled from that card design. Give the #simplestamping card a try!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

October Paper Crafting Blog Hop


Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the October Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sue McDonald's blog. Welcome one and all.

This month we are featuring fall-themed projects or projects demonstrating Stampin' Up!'s fabulous pattern paper called Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is not a secret that select packages of DSP are on sale this month at a 15% discount.

For my cards today I decided to use the Life is Beautiful Stamp Set, designed by Million Sales Achiever LeeAnn Graff, using both a fall theme and Plaid Tidings DSP.

I cannot believe I waited this long to use this stamp set. When I first saw the bird house in this stamp set, I had to have it. Now I have found that I love this tree! For the leaves I used a group of colors from a color challenge last week (The Paper Players Color Challenge PP512: Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Cinnamon Cider). The black plaid strip along the left side is a 3/4" strip from the workshop cards we made this past Saturday.

This weekend I watched a video where LeeAnn Graff shows several cards she designed using her stamp set. In one of her cards she used purple for the leaves. I thought I should try it - I used Rich Razzleberry which coordinates with this strip from the Plaid Tidings DSP.

The Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" DSP is from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (MC pp. 56-57). Versatile and adorable patterned paper!

These cards are fairly simple to recreate, but if you need measurements, just let me know. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you and your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it!

Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring So Sentimental Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Super busy, crafty weekend for me. How about you? I did not want to miss posting this week so this is a quick card I made for some yummy, pumpkin pie gifting this Thanksgiving holiday. For today's card I used the heart punches for the sentiment. Although I tried to keep this card simple, I did sneak in a strip of cardstock with the stitched edge from the large rectangle die. Once again, I am highly recommending that you add to your collection the Heart Punch Pack for quick layering.

The card base is a side fold A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4", cut at 5 1/2") in Whisper White cardstock. The mat is Pumpkin Pie cardstock (cut 4" x 5 1/4"). The pattern paper is a sheet of Pumpkin Pie from the Regals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (cut 3 3/4" x 5") then trim off 1 3/4" and pick which side of the pattern paper goes where! The heart on the sentiment build is from the Dog Punch. Super cute!.

I think you should give this card a try!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.

Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring So Sentimental

Hello, my crafty friends. What crafty projects were you working on for World Card Making Day? Don't forget to send out those cards this week. #makeacardsendacard 

Simple Stamping Challenge for October is to create a Thank You card with only stamps, ink, paper, and ribbon. Ribbon is always a nice way to add texture to your projects. 

#simplestamping

This card uses a note card for the base, or create your own (5" x 7", scored in the center at 3 1/2") with Whisper White cardstock. The mat is a piece of pattern paper from Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (3 1/2" x 4"), leaving 1" along the bottom of the note card to stamp the sentiment from the So Sentimental Stamp Set. I masked the words above and below so it fits perfectly.

I wanted to use the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon on my card, but I felt like it was "lost" in the background, so I gently pressed the ribbon in my Mossy Meadow ink pad and, viola, created my own matching ribbon!

Give this super #simplestamping card a try!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
