Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop Festive Paperscapes

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop as we explore this month's theme, "Festive Paperscapes" with a specific focus on a fun celebration. Our amazing Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas using this theme to help spark your creativity. 

For my Festive Paperscape, I decided to create a fun fold design using the Storybook Gnome Suite. I recently saw a video created by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Karen Titus, where she created a Fancy Accordian Fun Fold, and I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas card. The background designs and focal elements all come from the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper and I used the coordinating dies from the Kindest Gnomes Bundle to die cut the toadstool house and cute little gnome. I felt like the flow of this card design told a story of a Wintery Christmas and I love the way the design coordinate. 

Products Used:

Kindest Gnomes Bundle (item #159616)

Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)

Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper (item #159615)

Balmy Blue Cardstock (item #146982)

Pacific Point Cardstock (item #111350)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Basics Embossing Powders (item #155554)

Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (item #155475)

Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels (item #158130)

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (item #144108)

Measurements:

Balmy Blue Cardstock

Card Base - 4 1/4" x 11" (Scored at 2 3/4", 4 1/4", 7 1/4" & 8 1/2")

Pacific Point Cardstock 

2 Squares - 4" x 4"

Sentiment Label die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies

Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper

1 Square - 3 3/4" Design #1

1 Square 3 3/4" Design #2

Toadstool House die cut with the Gnomes Dies

Gnome die cut with the Gnomes Dies 

Deer & Fox fussy cut with Paper Snips

Basic White Cardstock

1 rectangle - 2 1/4" x 4" 

This fun fold looks complicated but it really is quite simple to assemble and decorate. For the front panel, I layered the snowflake designer series paper onto one of the Pacific Point cardstock squares and decorated it with the die cut toadstool house and gnome. I heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder onto the Stitched Rectangle die cut and added some White Baker's Twine across the top to embellish it. I added the sentiment to the front panel with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added several Iridescent Rhinestones to the background snowflakes. I attached this front panel to the front panel of the card base with adhesive, centering it so that it leaves a border around the edge. For the second panel, I added the Balmy Blue designer series panel square to the 2nd Pacific Point square and added the fussy cut deer to the left side. I attached this panel to the inside fold with adhesive, centering it so that it lines up with the front panel. To complete the card design, I added the Basic White cardstock layer to the last panel and added the cute little fox to the bottom right corner. As you can see, this card design requires minimal stamping and the flow of the designs on each of the flap, coordinates to create a cute Winter scene that is perfect for celebrating Christmas. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own Paperscape. There are so many wonderful options available to explore.

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.

Stamped and die cut mushroom and gnome using Kindest Gnomes Bundle

This cute card design was so much fun to create and very simple to assemble. After cutting the card base and folding on the score lines, I attached the layer of Basic White Cardstock to the inside of the card base and then adhered the two side panels to the base of the card with adhesive. I then attached the two Rustic Harvest panels to decorate each side. For the center panel, I attached the two panels of designer series paper above and below the fold line to create the background. I stamped the mushroom and gnome images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut them out with the coordinating dies. For the sentiment tag, I heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder and tied a simple bow with Linen Thread through the hole in the tag. I attached the tag to the base of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals to create the anchor point for the easel. To complete the card, I attached the mushroom to the bottom of the center panel on the left side and added the gnome with Stampin' Dimensionals on the right side. I love how this card turned out and the wonderful feeling of Fall with this color combination.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design help encourage to create your own wonderful Fun Folds to celebrate Fall. There are so many possibilities to explore.

Welcome to the ICS July Blog Hop as we celebrate the new Sale-a-brations catalog and all the amazing new products that you can earn for free with a qualifying order. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for the Summer. 

It was so hard to choose which Sale-a-bration product I wanted to showcase.

Circle die cut with Beautiful Shapes Dies

Sentiment Label die cut with Beautiful Shapes Dies

Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper (Silver Polka Dot)

Card Front - 5" x 3 3/4" 

For this card design, I used Blending Brushes to create the beautiful background. I started with Tahitian Tide Classic ink, starting in the center of the Silver Polka Dot piece of designer series paper, and worked my way out towards the edges. Then I blended Orchid Oasis Classic ink from the outside edges, especially at the corners, towards the middle. For my focal image, I stamped the cute little gnome onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. Using Stampin' Blends Markers, I colored in the image to coordinate with the background. I attached the gnome to the Starry Sky circle and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. for the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto Starry Sky cardstock and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added several small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to make it sparkle. I just love how the silver polka dots on the design series paper pop against the blended background and give the impression of falling snow. This card design would work well for a variety of occasions for the Winter months. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help you to get excited about the amazing new products in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. Whether you love stamp sets, designer series paper or even dies, there is something for everyone.
