Easy Handmade Holiday Card Using Stampin' Up! Making Christmas Bright

Hello, my crafty friends. It is the first Wednesday of November and today I am featuring another holiday card to help inspire you to get started on your holiday cards. My quick and simple card today features the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set and coordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch introduced in the 2018 Holiday Catalog and available in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog.

In keeping with the "spirit" of making "a lot" of holiday cards, once again this is a fairly basic design concept. The base card is Whisper White Cardstock and the layer build is 1) Shaded Spruce (5.25" x 4") and 2) Whisper White (5" x 3.75"). Stamp 2 rows of the string of lights and 1 curve black line for "hanging" the Christmas bulbs punched from the 2018-20 In Colors (I used Blueberry Bushel, Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove), Shaded Spruce and Gold Foil for the base.

The build on the bottom is an angled-cut piece of the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper, a thin strip of Gold Foil Sheet, and an even thinner strip of Shaded Spruce. The sentiment is fussy cut. Sorry about that, but you could make the angled section a little larger and use one of the smaller rectangle die. :) The trunk of the Pine Tree Punch is wrapped with Linen Thread tied with a cute little bow.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.

October Simple Stamping Challenge Using Country Home Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Last week on my blog I featured a quick and easy handmade card using the Country Home Stamp Set (click HERE in case you missed it). It was my submission for the monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop I participate in with several other Stampin' Up! demonstrators. It is a fun group of demonstrators from the US and other countries and we have a great time showing you (and each other) our ideas, tips and tricks.

Today I thought it might be fun to try a Simple Stamping Challenge by Stamping Up a/k/a #simplestamping. The October challenge is to create a card using stamps, ink, paper, and punches. The theme is "Thank You."

My card features the beautiful floral arrangement on the "inside" of a Whisper White Note Card and I used the 2" circle punch on the front panel to create negative space, i.e. the peek-a-boo effect (hum, really hard to see in this photo though, my apologies). I finished the opening with a frame of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock double-punched with the 2-1/4" and 2" circle punches. Color is added to the floral arrangement with a Blender Pen and several ink pads (see the supplies list below). An alternative would have been to use the Stampin' Write Markers or the Stampin' Blends, however, I was unsure if Markers or Blends would be considered "ink" under the rules of the challenge.

This photo is the original design. It is exactly the same as the card above except it eliminates the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock frame around the peek-a-boo effect and the edges are sponged with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have enjoyed my #simplestamping card featuring the Country Home Stamp Set. I know that I have enjoyed sharing it with you.

October Paper Crafting Blog Hop

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.

Easy Handmade Card Using Around the Corner Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

Hello, my crafty friends. This week I thought I would share a greeting card for a celebration of any kind. This card uses the cutest stamp set, Around the Corner (AC p. 157). I think you should add this stamp set to your wish list!

In creating this card I decided to use Stampin' Up! colors Night of Navy and Crumb Cake so the card will easily work for celebrations for male or female recipients. There is just a hint of Mango Melody which could be changed to your favorite accent color. The Crumb Cake layer is embossed using the Subtle 3D embossing folder (AC p. 199)

For embellishments, I opted to use a piece of the new 3/8" (1 cm) Denim Ribbon (AC p. 174) behind the stack of images and three of the versatile Clear Epoxy Droplets (AC p. 178) in a row right above the ribbon on the right hand side.

You could make a stack of these pretty quickly. Leave the stamping of the inside sentiment for later -- save them for a future emergency card situation for any occasion!

Stamps:

Around the Corner (AC p. 157)

Ink:

Neutrals Classic Stampin' Ink Night of Navy (AC p. 162)

Neutrals Classic Stampin' Ink Crumb Cake (AC p. 162)

Paper:

Colorful Seasons Papercrafters Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the September 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 any kind of fall project. I have chosen Colorful Seasons (AC p. 56) to show off Stampin' Up!'s beautiful fall colors. The colors used include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso.

The Colorful Seasons Stamp Set coordinates with the Seasonal Layers Dies (AC p. 195), Don't you love those adirondack chairs!! And, there is the Buffalo Check Background Stamp (AC p. 156) again.

I am terribly lacking in fall sentiments since it is not such a "hot" theme here in Florida. I chose the word "welcome" from the Well Written dies (AC p. 197) and created "fall" combining letters from two other dies. (Well Said Stamp Set, AC p. 47 - not used on this card front, but coordinates with the dies.) Hard to tell, but the "fall" sign is hanging from the top sentiment flag using the linen thread. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring Colorful Seasons. 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.

Easy Handmade Holiday Card Using Stampin' Up! Dashing Deer Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. It is September so you might be feeling a crisp breeze in the air. Or, perhaps you may live along the Florida coast and are feeling a strong, balmy breeze accompanied by driving rain from Hurricane Dorian! - and if so, I hope you and your family and friends are safe and sound. 

The first Wednesday of the month for September, October and November, I will be featuring a holiday card to help inspire you to get started on your holiday cards. If you are like me, I have a very LONG holiday card list so I need to start early with multiple designs to keep from burn out. I also need quick and simple to get the job done.

My card today features the Dashing Deer Stamp Set and coordinating Detailed Deer Dies introduced in the 2018 Holiday Catalog. It is a current stamp set found in the Annual Catalog (p. 71, the die is on p. 192).

This is a fairly basic design concept with one layer of DSP for the background (cut 4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half, or maybe another dimension, say 2 1/2 and 2 3/4) to use the reverse side as an accent piece. I did hide the seam with a 1" wide strip of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock, topped with a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon. [Edited: Oops, this picture shows the retired Striped Burlap Trim; I had a spool of this ribbon in my holiday box and forgot this ribbon did not carry over. The Burlap Ribbon looks just fine here as well.] Then embellish with one of the cutest deer, stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut using the dies. You will notice that the DSP is the Dashing Along DSP from last year -- it is currently on the Clearance Rack for $4.40. (Do I need to say, Hurry!)
