GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop

Welcome to the GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop for the month of August. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as we share our project ideas to help inspire you. I hope that you will enjoy our blog hop this month.

Today I thought I would share with you a card I designed for my Christmas in July class last month, featuring the Winter Woods cling stamp set (item #151359) and the coordinating In The Woods Dies. For this card design, I chose to use Pretty Peacock, one of the new 2019-2021 In Colors, with Night of Navy and Sahara Sand.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Sahara Sand cardstock that I stamped using the Crackle Paint background stamp (item #148752) with Pretty Peacock Classic ink, to create the look of bark. I just love the texture that this stamp adds to the background. Using a 2" strip of Pretty Peacock Gingham from the 2019-2021 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack (item #149617), I created a banner using the Banner Triple Punch (item #138292) and attached to the Sahara Sand layer with Snail Adhesive.

To create the look of a night sky, I die cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock using the largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323). I attached the circle to the banner using Snail Adhesive.

To create my Christmas tree, I stamped the large evergreen tree image from the Winter Woods stamp set with Pretty Peacock Classic ink onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and then die cut it with the coordinating die from the In The Woods Dies.

For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Dashing Deer cling stamp set (item #151362) with Versamark ink onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I die cut the label using the Merry Christmas Dies (item #147912) I attached the sentiment and the tree image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up.

To complete my card design, I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the tree to create the look of snow and colored some small Basic Pearls with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker to create ornaments to decorate the tree.

I hope that you have enjoyed my Christmas card today and that it helps you to see how versatile the Winter Woods stamp set and coordinating In The Woods Dies can be in creating your own projects. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.

GSF September Blog Hop Color Challenge: Call Me Clover

It's time to hop with the GSF (aka Global Stamping Friends) September Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use the new In Color, Call Me Clover, to create our projects. You may have just visited Amber's blog or perhaps you are starting with me. I hope that our creations will inspire you to give Call Me Clover a try in your creative projects.

Call Me Clover is a beautiful, vibrant green and when I first saw it, I new it would be a perfect Christmas green. So when we were given this challenge, I knew that I wanted to create a Christmas card featuring this wonderful shade of green. As you can see in the image above, I used Call Me Clover cardstock, Classic Ink pad, 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon and the Call Me Clover Dark Stampin' Blends Marker to create my design. I just love that Stampin' Up! provides us with such a wide variety of products that coordinate to make our life easier.

To create my card, I chose the new Dashing Deer Bundle from the New 2018 Holiday Catalog, to create a clean and simple Christmas card design. I wanted something that could easily be mass produced but have a classically elegant look. (Note: When your purchase the stamp set and thinlets dies together as a bundle, you save 10%).

The card base and cardstock elements have been created with Call Me Clover cardstock. I added a layer of Thick Whisper White cardstock and embossed it with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #147923). The deer has been die cut from Gold Foil using one of the dies from the Detailed Deer Thinlets dies (item #147915) and attached to the Call Me Clover oval with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Dashing Deer stamp set was heat embossed with Gold embossing powder and die cut with one of the dies from the Merry Christmas Thinlets dies (item #147912), which is also available in the new Holiday Catalog. I attached the sentiment with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, placing it over the 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon.

To add a touch of bling, I used the Call Me Clover Dark Stampin' Blends Marker to color three of the small Basic Rhinestones and attached them to the card front.

The great thing about the Dashing Deer stamp set is that it has sentiments suitable for both the front and inside of your card. I heat embossed one of these sentiments onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Gold embossing powder and then used Call Me Clover Classic ink to stamp the garland to embellish the top and bottom of the cardstock.

I just love the way that this card came together and contrast between the Whisper White with the Call Me Clover with the Gold accents adding a classic elegance. I think that this card design demonstrates that you don't need a lot of colors or supplies to create a beautiful card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that you enjoyed the card I shared today. Now it's time to visit Anastasia's blog and see what she has created this month.
