Global Stamping Friends December Blog Hop Last Minute Lucy

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends December Blog Hop and this month our theme is appropriately called "Last Minute Lucy". If you are like me, you are woefully behind on everything to do with Christmas and maybe even a little desperate for some fun holiday projects to help save the day. Our Design Team will be sharing their wonderful ideas and projects to help spark your creativity ready for the holiday season.

Clean and simple holiday cards don't need to be boring and I couldn't wait to create this card design using the Sweetest Star Bundle and the Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to show how much fun you can have with a few simple supplies. I love heat embossing and this technique was perfect for creating the cute gingerbread star men as well as the sentiments for the card design. The candy cane designer series paper helps to tie it all together and add a pop of color to the card.

Products Used:

Sweetest Star Bundle (item #164098)

1 3/4" Circle Punch (item #119850)

Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #164193)

Pecan Pie Cardstock (item #161717)

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock (item #119685)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Basics Wow Embossing Powders (item #165679)

Blooming Pearls (item #162238)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Pecan Pie Cardstock

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

2 Gingerbread Stars stamped and punched with the Sweetest Star Bundle

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock

Matte Layer - 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"

Sentiment Circle punched out with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch

Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper

Focal Strip - 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"

This fun layout is simple to create and you can use it to create a variety of card designs using these supplies. Just think of the stack of cards you could create to send out to family and friends. I heat embossed the gingerbread men image onto Pecan Pie cardstock using White embossing powder and then punched them out using the coordinating Sweetest Star Punch. For the sentiment, I also heat embossed the image with White embossing powder and punched it out using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch. To help make the designer series paper layer stand out, I layered it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to create a matte layer. I also heat embossed the main sentiment along the bottom of the Pecan Pie card base with White embossing powder and then added the designer series paper layer to the card base, centering it above the sentiment. I added the gingerbread stars to the designer series paper layer and then popped up the Cherry Cobbler circle with Stampin' Dimensionals to add some dimension to the design. To complete the card, I added several of the small Pink Pearls from the Blooming Pearls to create the buttons on each of the gingerbread men and two of the large Pink Pearls on either side of the bottom sentiment. Isn't this card so cute and fun? I think it would be perfect for the baker in your life or maybe just right for someone who loves cookies.

It's time to hop along with the New At SU November Blog Hop and this month we have a fun Color Challenge to explore. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects featuring the following colors: Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige. We can choose to use all or some of these colors to create our projects to help spark your creativity.

For my card design, I chose to create a fun, non-traditional Christmas card design using all of the above colors. This isn't a color combination that I would have thought to create with on my own, so it was a wonderful way for me to step outside my comfort zone and explore this beautiful colors. I used a combination of card stock, designer series paper and inks in the various colors to showcase how well these colors work together. I did add one extra color, Lemon Lolly, for the hair for my image. The patterns in the designer series paper strips add texture and contrast to the design and work well with the whimsy of the focal image and sentiment from the Dear Santa stamp set. I love how all the different elements combined to create this sweet Christmas card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.

I love the fun images in the Dear Santa stamp set and I thought the sweet little girl eating the cookies was perfect for this color combination. The combination of the Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper strips really pop against the Basic Beige card front and add some fun to this card design. I used Stampin' Blends Markers to color the focal image as well as Basic Beige Classic ink with a Blender Pen to color the cookies. The Old Olive cardstock layer makes a wonderful border around the card front and pops against the Moody Mauve card base. To complete the layout, I stamped the sentiment with Moody Mauve Classic ink onto the Bubble Bath cardstock label and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added several Bubble Bath Dots to a subtle touch of bling to finish off the card design. I love how this card design turned out and how pretty it looks with this color combination.

Welcome to the We Create November Blog Hop as we celebrate Gratititude & Gatherings. Here in the U.S. we celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of November and it's the perfect time to send out cards to the people we love to let them know how much we appreciate them. Our Design Team is excited to share their projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects to send to the people you care about.

One of my favorite new Fall themed bundles would have to be the Autumn Expressions Bundle. I love the beautiful sentiments with their elegant fonts and the images are perfect for creating gorgeous Fall cards for a variety of occasions. Today I paired this bundle with one of the designs from the Iconic Celebrations 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to add some wonderful texture to the background. The Gold Foil die cuts help step up the design and coordinate perfectly with the Gold embossing. This is a beautiful card to send at this time of year to let people know how much you appreciate them in your life.

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.
