Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop Peaceful Christmas

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities October Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas using the Peaceful Christmas Kit. This beautiful card kit has so many wonderful options and you will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

The cards in this month's kit are simply beautiful, especially the snowy scene in shades of gray and silver. I noticed that the design was on both the front and back of the card base and it gave me and idea to be able to double the number of cards I could create from these five card bases. I cut the back of the card base to create a card front and chose Soft Succulent cardstock for the card base to frame the design. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't capture the beautiful shimmer of the silver foil stars in my photos. I wanted the pretty scenery to be the main focus of my card design and added a sentiment label created with the Label Me Fancy Punch with Silver embossing to coordinate with the card design.

Products Used:

Card Front (cut from the back of the card base) - 5 1/4" x 4"

This clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to double the number of cards you can create from the five card bases with the shimmery snow scene. With just a few basic supplies, you can create an elegant set of Christmas cards. For the sentiment, I chose one of the images from the exclusive stamp set in the kit and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I used the Silver trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack and wrapped it around the card front twice and tied it in a knot at the front, towards the bottom of the card front. I attached the sentiment label over the Silver trim with Stampin' Dimensionals included in the kit. I then attached the card front to the Soft Succulent card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To finish off the card design, I added several Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the sky for a touch of bling. The Silver shimmer of this card design is so soft and pretty and the Soft Succulent cardstock adds a touch of color to help make the card front pop.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my alternate card design will help inspire you to think outside the box to create your own beautiful projects for the holidays. With just a few simple supplies, it's easy to step up your Christmas cards to send to the people in your life.

Ink. Stamp. Share Special November Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Special November Blog Hop as we share projects we are currently working on using current Stampin' Up! products. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their creative ideas and projects to help inspire you.

With everything that has happened this year, I have been focusing on fun and cheerful Christmas card designs to help make people smile. The Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog has images and sentiments that are perfect for this type of card and I paired it with the pretty Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #155969) from the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle, which has wonderful patterns in traditional Christmas colors.

Products Used:

Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208)

Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #155969)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (item #151326)

Real Red Cardstock (item #102482)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Shaded Spruce Classic Ink Pad (item #147088)

Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad (item #147115)

Measurements:

Whisper White Cardstock - For Oval Die Cuts

Real Red Cardstock - For Scalloped Oval Die Cuts

This clean and simple Christmas card is easy to create and simple to duplicate. The image of the owls from the Have A Hoot stamp set was stamped onto the large Whisper White oval with Soft Suede Classic ink and colored with a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment with Shaded Spruce Classic ink just below the image and also to the smaller Whisper White oval. To embellish the card, I added a small bow tied with Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and I attached it to the top of the large image. For a touch of bling, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to the small oval sentiment label to complete the design. The Have A Hoot stamp set has several images suitable for creating cute Christmas cards and the Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper has a wonderful variety of patterns to help you create cards for all your family and friends.

GSF August Blog Hop Drinks Galore

It's time for the August Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop (aka GSF) and this month we have been challenged to create a project with the theme "Drinks Galore". I recently had a card class for Christmas in July, so I am still feeling the holiday spirit, so I decided to create a Christmas card, using some of the supplies I had left over from my class.

I love the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper that I featured in my class, so I decided to use one of the pieces I had left over from one of my card designs, using the negative space cut from the Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies (item #149013). This die set is exclusive to the Color Your Season Promotion, which is available only during the month of August, or while supplies last.

The card base is Whisper White and I embossed a layer of Whisper White cardstock with the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #143537) to create the background for the coffee cup. The coffee cup was created using the Coffee Café stamp set (item #143677) and the coordinating Coffee Cups Framelits dies (item #143745) using Real Red cardstock for the cup, Soft Suede for the band and Whisper White for the whipped cream on top. The sentiment, from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (item #146667), was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder on Whisper White cardstock and die cut with the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies (item #145372) and matted onto a scalloped oval die cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits dies (item #141706) from Real Red cardstock.

For added texture, I used Tombow Multipurpose Glue to add Dazzling Diamonds to the whipped cream and I embellished the sentiment with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (item #146924). This is a fun and simple Christmas card design to create and now is the perfect time to get a jump start on your holiday cards.

I hope that you have enjoyed my holiday card design for this month's theme and I hope it will inspire you to get an early start on your Christmas cards.
