Quick and Easy Holiday Gift Tags with Tidings and Trimmings Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Happy holidays. Just a quick post today for an update on my holiday cards. Finally finished this past weekend. Whew!! I was able to complete my list with the cards from the October Paper Pumpkin kit (Peaceful Christmas). They were so pretty.

Now this week I have been busy making gift tags! The quickest way to accomplish this is to use one of the Tag Topper punches - Fancy Tag Topper or Delightful Tag Topper. This image shows the tags I made using the retired Scallop Tag Topper, but they all work the same.

I mixed and matched several stamp sets: Tidings & Trimmings, Banner Year, Perfectly Plaid, Time of Giving. I also used the November Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set (Gifts Galore)! 

Finishing touches: (not shown) Each tag was finished with red ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my holiday tag project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. 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.

Quick and Easy Holiday Card featuring Time of Giving Cling Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! I have been wondering how everyone is coming along with their holiday cardmaking. All mailed out yet? I have been diligent, but I must confess I am not quite finished. Hopefully this weekend!

Today I want to show you this super quick and easy holiday card using the Time of Giving bundle. The Time of Giving cling stamp set is bundled with the Giving Gifts Dies (bundle pricing that will only be available through the end of the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, January 3). If you go to p. 61 of the mini catalog, this is where I got the idea to pair this bundle with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

The card base is a top fold, landscape A2 card (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Evening Evergreen or Soft Succulent cardstock. The next layer is the alternate of these two colors and the "snow" is stamped in either White Craft or Evening Evergreen to accent. You can use any size of the tags, but I used the smallest one to get the most out of my DSP. The largest one in matching cardstock to the base for the Santa/Sleigh and Reindeer.

The "Merry" sentiment is a die cut from the Word Wishes Dies (see p. 14, 166 in the Annual Catalog). First time I have used this one(!!), but it looks great in Merry Merlot on this tag cut from a cute Sahara Sand sheet from the Tidings of Christmas DSP pack.

Finishing touches: The bow is also a die from the Giving Gifts Dies. A bit of the Gold Fine Art Ribbon tied off with a piece of Linen Trim.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. 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.

November Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set and Bundle

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the December 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 Joy Nelson's blog. Great project, Joy! Welcome one and all.

The theme for this month's blog hop is December Holidays. Recently, I have been gearing up my holiday cardmaking to get those Christmas cards ready to mail. The card I am sharing today uses the Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set (p. 27 of the July-Dec 2021 Catalog) and the Holly Border Punch (which is bundle priced during this catalog).

The card base is a top fold, landscape A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut in half at 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4") in Shaded Spruce cardstock. On Basic White cardstock (cut 5 1/4" x 4"), punch the row of holly using the Holly Border Punch along the bottom edge twice. (Tip: Line up the outer edges by viewing from the back side of the punch.) Layer onto a slightly smaller piece of Real Red Cardstock. And it is hard to see from this photo, but I punched out the leaves and stems in scraps of Shaded Spruce and paper pieced in the holly leaves and stems. The red berries were too many different sizes for paper piecing, and that is why I used the Real Red cardstock layer. 

The bird is stamped in Early Espresso and the beak is colored with a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. The 1/2" strip of Shaded Spruce cardstock hides my birds feet. You could move the bird up a "smidge" (a really technical term for just a bit) so the bird's feet rest on the strip, but I felt the bird needed a "resting" place.

A simple Red Rhinestone adds a festive splash!!

How are you doing so far with your holiday cardmaking? Hope you are closing in on the finish line. After the Thanksgiving holiday (U.S.) next week, I plan to move onto gift tags and packaging projects. Come back anytime to see what I am working on.

So, now it is time to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Maureen Rauchfuss.

Quick and Easy Holiday Card featuring Candy Canes Cling Stamp

Hello my crafty friends! I think you can agree that now that November is finally here, it is time to begin making our holiday cards - for real. Let's start off pretty simple and easy with the Candy Canes Cling Stamp.

The card base is a side fold, landscape A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Basic White cardstock. The candy canes are stamped in Real Red ink on Basic White cardstock cut 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" and layered on Real Red cardstock cut 3 3/4" x 5".

The "Seasons Greetings" sentiment is from the Time of Giving stamp set stamped in Real Red on Basic White cardstock cut 1 1/8" x 2 1/2" and layered on Real Red cardstock die cut from the Stitched Rectangles (scrap @ least 1 1/2" x 2 3/4").

The bow is a fake bow created by tying a piece of Linen Thread around a scrap of the Real Red Sheer Ribbon. A couple of holly leaves from the Holly Punch is the finishing touch.

Seriously, Just One More Quick and Easy Card Featuring Cutest Halloween Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! I know I said last week just one more quick and easy card featuring the Cutest Halloween stamp set, but I thought - why not another! I think you will agree it is totally cute.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Old Olive cardstock. The next layer is a sheet from Cute Halloween DSP, cut 4" x 5 1/4", and then cut across the center a little more than half resulting in two pieces measuring 3" and 2 1/4" across. Adhere the larger piece on the bottom and the smaller on top. Use two scraps of coordinating color strips of varying widths to cover the seam. 

Here's more: I found the spider web and the sentiment from the Banner Year Stamp Set (AC p. 95). Embellishment assist by the Layering Circles Dies and my favorite ribbon! The super cute skeleton is fussy cut from a scrap of the Cute Halloween DSP.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. 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.

Just One More Quick and Easy Card Featuring Cutest Halloween Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! How about just one more quick and easy card featuring the Cutest Halloween stamp set!! I have a couple of punches lined up to help out.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Highland Heather cardstock. The next layer is a sheet from Cute Halloween DSP, cut 4" x 5 1/4", and then cut in a little more than half resulting in two pieces measuring 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" across. Adhere the wider piece (2 1/2") on the left side of the front panel, then flip the narrow piece (1 1/2") and adhere to the right side of the front panel. A thin strip of Highland Heather (approximately 1/4") will hide the seam perfectly. Don't forget to color the "candy" with various Stampin' Blends.

To decorate the card front, I used the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to frame the three windows of Halloween cuteness. The traditional Halloween chant of "trick or treat" is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white on a build of the Heart Punch Pack.

I am still gathering everyone's ideas for our holiday card making. Plus this Saturday, October 2, is World Card Making Day. I was thinking about a quick Facebook Live in the morning to stamp a card and chat about what everyone else is making.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. 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.

Quick and Easy Card Featuring Cutest Halloween Stamp Set

Hello my crafty friends! Can you believe September is almost over? Recently I  have taken some time off from blogging, but I am ready to knuckle down and get cranking on some cards. Let's start with this cute Halloween fun fold card.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (5 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 1 3/4", 5 1/2", 9 3/4") in Basic Gray cardstock. These score lines (and following measurements) were shared by fellow SU Demonstrator Dena Rekow in her August video. Be sure to burnish these score lines with a bone folder. The final card size will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and fits in our medium envelopes.

The DSP pieces are cut 1 1/2" x 5 1/4", 1" x 5 1/4", 3 1/2" x 5 1/4". I think you will see where these pieces will fit nicely on the card panels, and be sure to watch the direction of the images on your DSP. The belly band is a 1" x 11" strip of Basic Gray, topped with a die panel from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

It is time to start planning those holiday cards my friends! I am going to trying to focus mainly on holiday cards from now until the Christmas.If you need help designing a card with supplied you have on hand, let me know - I would love to help. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!  I hope my project has inspired your creativity.  I would love to see what you have created. 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.

August Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello my crafty friends. Welcome to the August 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 Sandra Roberts' blog. Fantastic project, Sandra! Welcome one and all.

This month our projects will center around punches which was a great choice for me since I have been featuring punches in my weekly cards throughout the pandemic. Here's my card using three (3) punches: Flowers & Leaves punch, Label Me Fancy punch and Banners Pick a Punch. Shhhh, there is also a wee bit of fussy cutting - I hope you don't mind.

The card base is a side fold, portrait A2 (8 1/2" x 11" sheet, scored at 4 1/4" and cut in half at 5 1/2") in Mint Macaron cardstock. The next layer is Basic White cardstock, cut 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped with the large flower cluster image from Flowers of Friendship inked in Soft Succulent. The Designer Series Paper is from the Hand-Penned 12" x 12" DSP cut 4" x 1 1/4". 

Punch #1 - Flowers & Leaves Punch

On a scrap of Pale Papaya cardstock, I stamped the flowers, twice, using Cinnamon Cider ink. I fussy cut one set of three flowers and the second set I punched the center petal of the flower using the small flower on the Flowers & Leaves punch. Just a small amount of trimming to get the petal to look just right and centered on those fussy cut flowers.

On a scrap of Mint Macaron cardstock, I stamped the leaves using Soft Succulent ink. A 1" x 4 1/4" strip is long enough to punch all four leaves following the pattern in this picture.

Tip for punching out the leaves: With the back side of the punch facing you, bring the strip of the small leaves into the punch from the left side, and then the larger leaf into the punch from the right side. Perfect!!

*The second strip in the image shows how the Just Jade looks on the Mint Macaron cardstock. I liked the Soft Succulent better.

Punch #2 - Label Me Fancy Punch

I believe that this is my...Favorite. Punch. Ever. And, I just don't use it enough. It is great for sentiments. This time I am using the punch vertically. The teeny, tiny hole is also part of this punch. For depth, I added two more punches of Vellum Cardstock and a short 1/2" strip of Pale Papaya in the back. String all of these together using the White 1/4" (6.4 MM) Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (with a hint of Pale Papaya ink from my fingers - so I just went with it!) and Linen Thread tied at the base of the ribbon to secure it.

Punch #3 - Banners Pick a Punch

The 1/2" strip of Pale Papaya cardstock peeks out of the bottom of the sentiment build and is flagged using the Banners Pick a Punch.

Whew. That is all there is to it! So, now it is time to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Joy Nelson.
