Ink. Stamp. Share. November Monthly Blog Hop Christmas Tree Decorations

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. November Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase ideas to help you decorate the Christmas Tree. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas is to create unique Christmas ornaments using blank ceramic ornaments that I found at a craft store. For this ornament, I used the cute image and coordinating sentiments from the Have A Hoot stamp set (item #153389) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, to decorate the front and back of the ornament. I stamped the image and sentiments using Stazon Jet Black Ink and colored the images using Stampin' Blends Markers.

Products Used:

Have A Hoot stamp set (item #153389)

Flight Of Fancy stamp set (item #153410)

Stazon Jet Black Ink Pad (item #101406)

Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154885)

Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154882)

Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #153105)

Real Red Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154899)

Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154901)

Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #146989)

Creating this ornament is simple but it is also something that should not be rushed. I used Stazon Jet Black ink to stamp the owls image first and then added the sentiment below it. Make sure to plan out your images on the ornament first to make sure they will fit before you actually stamp them. This will prevent mistakes and frustration. After stamping the front, I let it sit for a few minutes to dry before flipping the ornament over and stamping the back with the sentiment and the extra snowflakes from the Flight Of Fancy stamp set. Again, I let it sit for a few minutes to give the ink time to dry. To color the owls, I used Light Crumb Cake for the belly, and eye lids of the owls and Light Cinnamon Cider for the rest of the feathers. Apply the color with a gentle dabbing motion so that you have control over where the color goes on the ornament and it also helps to prevent bleeding by applying too much ink. It also helps to protect the tips of your Stampin' Blends Markers so they don't get damaged. The beak and claws were colored with Light Mango Melody. I used Light Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Dark Real Red for the berries. The branches were colored with Light Crumb Cake and the snow and snowflakes were colored with Light Seaside Spray. I love the vibrancy of the Stampin' Blends Markers for these ornaments.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my ornament will help inspire you to create your own fun projects to celebrate the holiday season. Just think of the variety of stamps that you can use to create your own unique ornaments.

ICS November Blog Hop Christmas Is Coming

Welcome to the ICS November Blog Hop as we showcase Christmas cards with the theme "Christmas Is Coming". You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

The first time I saw the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, I fell in love with the Flight of Fancy stamp set (item #153410) and when I was deciding on my card design for this hop, I just knew I had to use this set. The angel image is so sweet and it gives me this feeling of hope, which is something we all need in this crazy year. I paired this stamp set with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512) and I loved how this pretty paper provided me with the color combination for this design. As this stamp set is an image only set, I chose a sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (item #153475) and I just love the beautiful fonts in this set.

This fun Christmas card design was so much fun to create. I loved coloring the stamped image with the Stampin' Blends Markers using colors that coordinate with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. I stamped the image using Smoky Slate Classic ink so that the lines would not be so harsh. I love that the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon adds just a touch of sparkle to the background and the Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling. In case you were wondering, I added an extra star near the Angel because I had a small ink mark there that was really bothering me and adding that star meant I had 5 stars all together, which made me feel that it was more balanced. I love that the label fits along the bottom and almost gives a snow globe appearance to the image. This card design just makes me happy when I look at it and I hope that the person that receives it will feel the same way when they receive it.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my Christmas card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful cards to send to family and friends.

New At SU August Blog Hop Mini Catalog Premier

It's time to hop along with the New At SU August Blog Hop as we showcase products in the New August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

I love Halloween so I thought I would share a fun card design created with the Flight of Fancy stamp set (item #153410), one of the hidden gems in this new catalog. I paired it with the amazing Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (item #153517) to create a spooky background and added the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set (item #153362) for the sentiment.

To create this Halloween card, I started with Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and I added a layer of the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper for the background. I wanted my card design to be colorful while still reflecting a fun, spooky feeling. I added a piece of the new 1 1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon (item #153550) around the center of the background to add some texture to the design.

The focal design was created by die cutting a piece of Whisper White cardstock with one of the scalloped rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690), one of my favorite die sets in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I stamped the witch image from the Flight of Fancy stamp set onto the die cut rectangle with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I sponged the background using a variety of Classic ink pad colors including Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight, using Sponge Daubers to blend the colors together to create an eerie sky.

I stamped the witch image a second time onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut around the moon, witch and broomstick. I colored the image using a variety of Stampin' Blends Marker including Light and Dark Rich Razzleberry, Light Soft Sea Foam, Light Cinnamon Cider, Light and Dark Cajun Craze and Light and Dark Daffodil Delight. I added the witch and moon images to the sponged layer with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder to the top left corner. This fun Halloween card is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day and a great example of how you can mix and match products in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to look at the hidden gems in this new catalog to help you with your holiday projects. You will be amazed and the variety of ways you can mix and match the products to create wonderful projects.
