Quick and Easy Handmade Card Featuring Warm Hugs Stamp Set and Dies v2

Hello, my crafty friends. So, how is your holiday card making going? I have been working on them for the last month now off and on. Still several cards to make before I have completed my "list." Here is another card using the Warm Hugs Bundle to coordinate with my gift cards holders.

Warm Hugs Holiday Card

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 Mossy Meadow cardstock. The mat is two separate sheets from the Heartwarming Hugs DSP (top cut 4" x 2 1/4", bottom cut 4" x 3"). The Pear Pizzazz strip is cut using one of the decorative scalloped dies for the coffee cup "sleeve" in the Warm Wraps Dies. It is decorated with alternating Red Rhinestone gems and die cut candy canes. The circle embellishment build is also created with stamps and dies from this bundle. Love the Real Red Braided Linen Trim (and it curls too!!) for the small bow.

The sentiment is stamped on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock flagged using the Banners Pick a Punch. 

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.

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.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

November Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the November 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 Carol Payne's blog. Welcome one and all.

For this month's blog hop, we are all featuring holiday-themed cards and projects using any current Stampin' Up! catalog product. I selected the Merry Moose Bundle for my card.

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 Real Red cardstock. The mat build is a sheet from the Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" DSP (cut 3" x 5") and a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock (cut 2 1/4" x 4"). The sentiment is stamped on a 1/2" strip of Whisper White flagged using the Banners Pick a Punch. You could hand cut the flag, but why would you when the punch makes it so-o-o easy.

SIDE NOTE: I will be making lots of holiday cards using the Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" DSP from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (MC pp. 56-57). I might have went a little overboard when select DSP was on sale last month!

Due to the restrictions on get togethers, my paper crafting groups have been meeting online via Zoom to finish our holiday cards, gifts and projects. We voted on three different stamp sets and bundles so I could focus on slightly more simple designs that would carry across all of our stamping selections and could easily be replicated with their own supplies from their craft stash. If you need measurements, just let me know. I think our pick, Merry Moose Bundle, and returning fave from last year, has won my heart.

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!

Simple Stamping Challenge Featuring Merry Moose Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. In my last blog post (which published on Sunday) I announced that today's card would be a Simple Stamping card. You know how I feel -- simple is not always easy for me. The challenge for November is to create a card, any theme, with only stamps, ink, paper, and an embellishment of your choice!

#simplestamping

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 Shaded Spruce cardstock. The mat is piece of Crumb Cake cardstock (cut 4" x 5 1/4"). Admittedly, this card started as a full Whisper White card without a mat at all, but things sometimes do not go as planned. I really did not like all that "real estate" and then "fixing" it looked cluttered so I cut out the "moose parade" to a 1 3/4" strip and added 1/4" strips of Real Red to the top and bottom as a frame. The sentiment was stamped on a 1" square of Whisper White, close to the bottom edge, then I flag cut with my snips the top edge. My embellishment - the simple Red Rhinestone. Super cute!!

Give the #simplestamping challenge a try!
