Around The World On Wednesday September Blog Hop The Way We Were

Welcome to the Around the World On Wednesday September Blog Hop with our theme this month, "The Way We Were". Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity as we explore this fun theme.

When I saw this month's theme, it made me think of nostalgia and reminiscing about fun memories. With the new Mix & Match Ephemera Packs in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, I thought it would be fun to create a clean and simple Christmas card that reminds me of the old fashioned designs that I remember from years past. The Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack are filled with old style holiday images and beautiful sentiments that make creating your own unique Christmas cards fun. I used one of the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes for my card base to give my card the feeling of a Winter scene.

The Mix & Match Ephemera Packs are filled with a variety of images and sayings to give you so many choices to create your card designs. They pair beautifully with the Gold Dipped Cards & Envelopes to help you create clean and simple cards for the holidays. Did you know that on pages 16-17 of the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, there are sketches to help you put together your own cards and tags? All you have to do is choose which images and sayings you want to use to decorate your cards and tags. Whether you choose to create a classically elegant design like the one I created, or something more fun and nostalgic, the possibilities are endless. The best part? No stamping required, so no inky fingers. This would be a fun project to do with your family to get ready for the holidays.

Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop September-December 2024 Mini Catalog

It's time to hop along with the Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop as we showcase the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas featuring new products to help you get ready for the holidays.

I am not normally a flower person, but I must admit, I fell in love with the gorgeous designs in the new Regal Winter Designer Series Paper from the new mini catalog. There is just something about the beautiful, bold color combinations that spoke to my heart and I knew that it would be perfect for creating elegant clean and simple card designs. For today's card, I chose to pair it with the new Autumn Expressions Bundle to create the sentiment focal image. I love how the Gold embossing pops against the Blackberry Bliss cardstock and the Gold Foil is perfect for the frame around the sentiment.

Products Used:

Autumn Expressions Bundle (item #164056)

Regal Winter Designer Series Paper (item #164156)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Blackberry Bliss Cardstock (item #133675)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Wow Embossing Powders (item #165678)

Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots (item #164027)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Sentiment Label die cut with the Autumn Expressions Dies

Regal Winter Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

Gold Foil Sheets

Frame die cut with the Autumn Expressions Dies

I am always looking for new ways to create beautiful clean and simple card designs and I thought that combining the Regal Winter Designer Series Paper with the Autumn Expressions Bundle was a perfect combination. To begin, I started with a Blackberry Bliss cardstock card base and added the floral design as my card front. To create the sentiment label, I die cut one half of the frame using the die cut from the Autumn Expressions Dies and heat embossed the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the center die cut. For the Gold frame, I did the same thing, by die cutting the frame from a piece of Gold Foil and then aligned the Blackberry Bliss sentiment label inside the Gold frame and added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back to hold the two pieces together. I then added it to the center of the card front to create my simply Wow card design. To complete the design, I chose to use several of the new Gold Textured Adhesive Backed Dots, which can also be found in the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I added the Gold dots to several of the red flowers on the designer series paper to help make them pop. I love how this card turned out and it would work well for so many occasions, including as a special birthday card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design help inspire you to explore the amazing new products in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog to create your own beautiful projects.

I love creating clean and simple cards with designer series paper and I couldn't resist creating this card design using the new Splendid Autumn 6"x6" Designer Series Paper from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I combined this pretty paper with the coordinating Autumn Expressions stamp set, which has a wonderful variety of sentiments.

This beautiful clean and simple Fall themed card is easy to assemble and requires just a few supplies to create.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Autumn Expressions stamp set with Gold embossing powder directly onto the designer series paper card front.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 36 - Cajun Craze

Happy Friday everyone. It's time for Week 36 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Cajun Craze, a beautiful warm color perfect for Fall. With the new season just around the corner, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to create an elegant clean and simple card to help us get ready for Fall.

One of my favorite things about the Changing Leaves Bundle is that it has all the pieces to create beautiful cards. The detailed embossing folder is perfect for backgrounds and I coordinates perfectly with the detailed die cuts. The stamp set has wonderful sentiments that work for a variety of occasions to help finish off the design. To help showcase Cajun Craze, I paired it with Very Vanilla cardstock and Gold Foil sheets to create a simply elegant design.

Products Used:

Changing Leaves Bundle (item #164139)

Cajun Craze Cardstock (item #119684)

Very Vanilla Cardstock (item #101650)

Cajun Craze Classic Ink Pad (item #147085)

Blooming Pearls (item #162238)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Cajun Craze Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Detailed Leaves die cut with Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Very Vanilla Cardstock

Card Front - 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" embossed with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder

Gold Foil Sheets

Detailed Leaves & Sprig die cut with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder Dies

To create this simply beautiful Fall card, I started by embossing the Very Vanilla cardstock card front with the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder. I love the deep, detailed impressions this embossing folder adds to the cardstock and it was perfect for the background of this card design. I then die cut several detailed leaves from Cajun Craze cardstock to help add some texture and detail to the design. To add contrast and help step up the design, I die cut one of the smaller leaf sprigs as well as the detailed sprig from the Gold Foil. I stamped the sentiment with Cajun Craze Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and then die cut the sentiment out with one of the coordinating dies. I also cut another die cut from Cajun Craze cardstock to layer behind the sentiment label. I attached the leaves to the card front and then added the layered sentiment over the top with Stampin' Dimensionals to add some depth to the design. To finish off the card, I added two small Gold pearls to the sentiment labels for a touch of bling.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using Cajun Craze in your upcoming projects. It is a perfect color for Fall and the upcoming holidays.

We Create August Blog Hop Never Too Early

Can you believe it is September already? I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. Today we are hopping along with the We Create September Blog Hop and our theme is "Never Too Early". As we get ready to switch to Fall soon, I start thinking about the holiday season and the opportunity to create fun projects for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Winter. That's a lot to look forward to, so I think it's never too early to create for the holidays. Which one do you think I will choose for today?

I love Halloween so I am super excited to get started on creating projects ready for this fun holiday. Even though my kids are all grown up, I still enjoy making spooky fun cards and treats to celebrate. Luckily, there are several Halloween products in the Online Exclusives that are perfect for both of these types of projects. Today I am playing with the new Playful Ghosts stamp set and I paired it with one of the designs from the Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. There is something about Moody Mauve that is perfect for this holiday and I paired it with Blackberry Bliss to create this sweet card design.

Ghost image stamped with Playful Ghosts stamp set and fussy cut with Paper Snips

This clean and simple Halloween card is easy to create and I had fun using a variety of Stampin' Blends markers to color in the focal image to add a pop of color to the card design. I also heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder and the clouds with Clear embossing powder to help step up the design. I love the detail around the edge of the focal circle that I die cut using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. For the card front, I chose the Moody Mauve stars patterned paper from the Iconic Celebrations to give the feeling of a night sky. I love that this pack of paper has such a wonderful variety of designs suitable for all the upcoming holidays. The Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling to give the look of stars sparkling in the evening sky. Creating this card design has really put me in the mood for Halloween and I can't wait to create more projects using these fun products.
