Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the October Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Once again I am participating in this blog hop with several fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, Australia and United Kingdom. You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sue Boerner's blog. Welcome one and all.
This month's theme is Fall or Thanksgiving so I have chosen the Country Home stamp set (AC p. 95). This beautiful floral arrangement showcases the Stampin' Blends. See a full list of the colors below.
The crosshatch effect in the background was created by swiping Balmy Blue ink across the Subtle 3D embossing folder and running it through the die cutting machine twice - once in portrait mode and once in landscape. PS: I did mask the finished milk jug image first.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring Country Home Stamp Set. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Sue McDonald.

Yesterday on the Blog Hop with several Stampin' Up! demonstrators, I shared my Father's Day card featuring the Truly Tailored Bundle and the True Gentlemen Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Buttons. I sure hope you enjoyed the blog hop. What a great group of ladies in this Blog Hop. They all love to share everything Stampin' Up! As promised, today I am sharing my tips and tricks for my card.
My goal is to utilize every inch of the DSP drives every cut of my DSP. Cutting this piece of the DSP at 4" x 3" will give you 12 card fronts (2 cuts of 4" down from the top and 3 cuts of 3" across from the side). The Dapper Denim piece is 4" x 2 1/4" so this layer totals 4" x 5 1/4". Then emboss using the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).
To make the cute embellishment, after stamping the sentiment from the Truly Tailored stamp set in Dapper Denim on Very Vanilla Card Stock, instead of centering the sentiment in the Tailored Tag punch window, move the upper edge of the image for a cut that does not allow as much "white space." Maybe this picture will help.
Then adhere a scrap piece to the back of the sentiment for a "handle" and punch the lower edge of the sentiment close with a similar "white space" edge,
Then snip both sides to make the "white space" even around the sentiment.
Adhere to a full punch of Dapper Denim and stack on dimensionals with a twist of Burlap Ribbon. I secured the ribbon with small glue dots.
Finally, for the "Dad" flag, stamp on a strip of Dapper Denim, adhere to a slightly larger strip of Very Vanilla and flag both ends pushing the strip through the top of the Tailored Tag punch, line it up evenly (as shown, looks like a little house, right?) and punch.
So two additional uses for the Tailored Tag Punch. Yay! Then adhere a couple of the small True Gentlemen Buttons and this card is all set!!
I really hope you enjoyed my card and the Blog Hop See you next Wednesday for another new card.
Stamp On!!
Sandy

Welcome to the Father's Day Blog Hop! I am participating again in a blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you maybe coming from Emilie Poncelet's blog. Welcome one and all. The theme for our blog this month is to create a card or project for Father's Day. Here in the States, that is celebrated on June 17th.
Although Night of Navy was one of the featured colors in the DSP, I love the way Dapper Denim brings this card together. And how about the large, all caps "DAD." I love one word sentiments, especially when they are in large fonts -- and maybe it is just because they are more pleasing to my aging eyes. Here's a quick peek at the inside of the card.
Leave a comment below with a trail to find you. I would be interested in seeing your creations.
