Around The World On Wednesday December Blog Hop Something New Something Used

Welcome to the Around the World On Wednesday December Blog Hop as we share projects with the theme, "Something New, Something Used". It's hard to believe this is our last hop for 2022 but I think you will love the wonderful projects and ideas that our Design Team members will be sharing to help inspire you to get creative. 

For my card design, I decided to pair the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, with the Gnomes Dies which are carrying over from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. I love that the several of the dies fit the cute gnomes in the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set. For my design, I wanted to create a cute Valentine's Day card using one of the cute gnome images and the Love You sentiment. To create the layout, I used the Framed Florets Dies with one of the designs from the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. These products are very definitely something I have "used" a lot to create projects over the past two months and I love how they fit with my card theme. This card design is a wonderful example of how you can combine something new, with products that you already own to create new projects.

This cute Valentine's Day card was so much fun to create and I love that one of the designs in the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, worked perfectly for this card design. I used the detailed hearts die to create the frame in the designer series paper with the cute little hearts and added the Cherry Cobbler Oval frame to the center to frame the focal oval. For the gnome, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored it with Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut the image out with the coordinating die from the Gnomes Dies and attached it to the Basic White focal oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. to create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Cherry Cobbler Classic ink onto the Blushing Bride sentiment label and attached it to the bottom of the oval with Stampin' Dimensionals, just below the gnome's feet. I decided not to add any embellishments to my card design, preferring to let the hearts frame stand out. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to combine some of your old favorites with new products coming soon in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. It's a great way to show some love to some of the products you already have and give them new life when combined with new options.

ICS December Blog Hop Thank You

Welcome to the last ICS Blog Hop for 2022 as we showcase Thank You cards to help inspire you. It's hard to believe it is December already and Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. It's the perfect time to create Thank You cards to have on hand to send to the people you appreciate and let them know you care. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity and help you to create your own beautiful cards to share with others.

This time of year can get very hectic and stressful and one of my favorite ways to relax and unwind is to enjoy some Creative Therapy. Creating clean and simple cards is not only a rewarding experience but a great way to replenish your card stash. For today's Thank You card, I have chosen to use the beautiful Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper with the coordinating Framed Florets Bundle. You may recognize this layout as one I have used quite a few times over the past couple of months and I must admit, it has become a favorite of mine. This time, I decided to create a landscape orientated design to show another variation with these products. I heat embossed the sentiment and floral details with Silver embossing powder and colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends Markers to step up the design. This design would work well for a variety of occasions, for people of all ages. 

Products Used:

Framed Florets Bundle (item #162407)

Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (item #161814)

Balmy Blue Cardstock (item #146982)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Polished Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #155520)

Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #155521)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Measurements:

Balmy Blue Cardstock

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

Detailed Oval Frame die cut with the Framed Florets Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Oval die cut with the Framed Florets Dies

Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

This card is so simple to assemble and doesn't need a lot of supplies. The hardest part just might be choosing which design from the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to use for your background. There are so many great ones to choose from. To create the sentiment and frame, I die cut one of the medium detailed frames from Balmy Blue cardstock and one from Basic White cardstock. This way I have the outer frame in Balmy Blue and the matching center oval in Basic White for my sentiment. I heat embossed my sentiment and floral details with Silver embossing to add an elegant touch to the design. For a pop of color, I colored in the flower with the Light Polished Pink Stampin' Blends Marker and the leaves with the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Marker. The next step is to assemble the card by attaching the card front to the card base and then centering the frame and sentiment oval on the card front. The finishing touch is adding some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the sentiment oval for a touch of bling. And there you have it! A simply beautiful card that is easy and stress-free to create. The Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper is only available while supplies last, so I would recommend ordering it soon to add to our collection. There are so many beautiful designs suitable for all seasons and both masculine and feminine designs. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful Thank You cards to share with the people you love. The Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and coordinating Framed Florets Bundle, help take the stress out of creating a variety of wonderful card designs.

Global Stamping Friends November Blog Hop So Many Thanks

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends November Blog Hop as we explore this month's theme "So Many Thanks". Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own cards and gift ideas to say Thank You to the people you care about.

Today I have created a beautiful Thank You card with the new Fitting Florets Collection, that is available for a limited time. I have fallen in love with these wonderful coordinating products and I am having so much fun coming up with new ways to create with them. This card design has more of a fresh Spring/Summer feel to it with the pretty floral design and the color combination of Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Basic White. The layout for this card would work well for other occasions such as a Birthday or Thinking of You.

This beautiful card combines all the wonderful elements in this collection to create a wonderful all occasion design. I love how the sentiment and coordinating frame work as the focal image for the design and the flowers and decorate the frame to step up the design. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Balmy Blue Classic ink onto the Basic White medium oval. I adhered the Balmy Blue frame to the designer series paper card front and added the sentiment oval in the center of the frame, using Mini Dimensionals to pop it up. This made it easier to add the detailed die cut leaf stems underneath to create the layers for the floral arrangements. I cut each of the leaf stems in half to create two pieces in both Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, and added them to the top right and bottom left sides of the sentiment oval. The flowers were stamped with Night of Navy Classic ink and colored with Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Markers and the leaves were stamped with Evening Evergreen Classic ink and colored with the Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Markers. I attached the flowers with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to the sentiment label and tucked the leaves underneath the flowers to complete the design. To embellish the card, I added two of the Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls to the centers of the flowers and I added some Balmy Blue Double-Stitched Ribbon to create the look of a loop at the top and the tails at the bottom of the sentiment oval. I just love how this card design turned out and I can't wait to try this layout with other designs from the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore creating your own beautiful projects to share with family and friends to show your appreciation.

Stamped & die cut Gnome image with the Kindest Gnomes Bundle

This pretty clean and simple Christmas card has a whimsical feel with the addition of the cute little gnome. One of my favorite color combinations for Christmas is Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen and I just love the pop of color that the Sweet Sorbet berries add to this card design. The designer series paper has white berries as part of the design but I decided to color them with the Light Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Marker to give it more of a Christmas feel. I am a big fan of ovals, so I was so excited to get the new Framed Florets Dies with the beautiful oval options that layer so beautifully together. I chose Soft Succulent for the detailed frame and Evening Evergreen for the sentiment, tying in with the colors in the designer series paper. I love how the Gold embossing of the sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set pops against the Evening Evergreen cardstock and it gives the card design a classically elegant look. This stamp set has so many wonderful sentiments for the holidays and I just love the combination of fonts. For the gnome, I colored the image using Stampin' Blends Markers to add a pop of color against the card front. To finish off th design, I added several Soft Succulent Opal Rounds to the sentiment label for a touch of bling. This card design was so much fun to create and I love how versatile this new collection of products is for creating projects not only for the holidays but throughout the year.
