Stamping With Friends November Blog Hop Anything Christmas

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends November Blog Hop as we celebrate Anything Christmas. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help you get in the spirit of the season to create your own beautiful cards and projects to share with family and friends.

Gift cards are a wonderful idea for the holidays but it can be a bit boring to just put them in an envelope with a normal card. That's why I love creating fun and festive gift card holders for the holidays and today I have another cute design to help spark your creativity. You may remember this card that I created here using the Beary Christmas Suite and I wanted to create another version of this type of gift card holder using the A Walk In The Forest Designer Series Paper to show how versatile this design can be. This beautiful designer series paper is part of Stampin' Up!'s Craft For A Cause and for every pack of A Walk In The Forest Designer Series Paper that is sold, $3 will be donated to the Marines Toys For Tots Charity.

Christmas Tree fussy cut

Bear punched out with Beary Cute Punch

I feel like I have become a bit addicted to creating these gift card holders. I love how easy it is to transform the base into a variety of designs to help make each one special. For this gift card holder, I used one of the A Walk In The Forest designs for the card front and fussy cut out the tree and punched out the bear with the Beary Cute Punch from a different sheet to create the focal image. I also added some snowbanks along the bottom of the card front to help ground the tree and the bear. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the snow to give it a little sparkle and also to the tree. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the Pretty Peacock label and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To decorate the tree, I added some Festive Pearls to give the appearance of ornaments. To create the basic gift card holder, I used the 2 3/8" Circle Punch to create the opening on the end of the card base that holds the gift card. I used Tear & Tape to create the pocket. I added the front panel to the front section of the base, making sure to not add adhesive beyond the half way point. For the inside of the card, I stamped the bear with Pecan Pie Classic ink onto the Basic White insert and then attached it to the Pretty Peacock layer before adding it inside the card. I just love how this cut gift card holder turned out. I think it would be perfect for a masculine card as well.

Stamping Inkspirations July Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations July Blog Hop and this month we have a special Color Challenge to share with you. The colors for this month's Color Challenge have been inspired by the cover of the 2023 Hallmark Dream Book, which is celebrating 50 years of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. Click here to see the PDF. I know that my family has a few special Hallmark ornaments that we have collected over the years, so I am excited to take part in this challenge. We have the choice to use the 3-5 of the colors from the image below, including Wild Wheat, Sweet Sorbet, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Pretty Peacock, or we can choose to create our own Color Challenge from any of the images inside the Dream Book. I am excited to see what my fellow Design Team members will choose to create.

For this Color Challenge I decided to create a Christmas card featuring all 5 of the colors featured in the above image. I wanted to create a pretty Winter scene using the Regal Reindeer stamp set and coordinating Reindeer Dies for my design. These colors work together beautifully and I love that this scene has an almost Scandinavian feel to it. While the dominate colors are Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler and Basic for the card base and layers, the other colors were used to color the images using Stampin' Blends Markers. I decided not to add a sentiment to the front, but instead added the verse and sentiment to the inside layer.

Reindeer & child stamped and die cut with the Reindeer Dies

Snow Banks die cut with the Reindeer Dies

This Winter themed Christmas card has a series of layers to help create a frame for the focal design. I love the bold look that the Pretty Peacock, Basic White and Cherry Cobbler layers provide for this design. For the focal layer, I stamped and die cut the child and reindeer images and then colored them with Stampin' Blends Markers to bring them to life. I love that Wild Wheat has the look of vintage gold and I used it to color the bells and harness. I used Pecan Pie to color the reindeer and used a combination f the other colors to color the remainder of both images. For the background of the focal layer, I stamped the trees on either side with Pretty Peacock Classic ink and then used a Blender Pen to gently color the trees using the ink from the outline to blend into the white areas. For the base of the layer, I die cut several snowbank pieces from Basic White cardstock and attached them to the layer. Using Clear Wink of Stella, I a colored the snowbanks to make it look like glistening snow. To complete the card front, I adhered the images of the child and reindeer so that it looks like the child is feeding the reindeer and apple. The only embellishment is several Gold Pearls on the reindeer to replicate the bells.

For the inside of the card, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and I stamped the verse and sentiment using Pretty Peacock Classic ink. I also stamped the tree image on either side of the bottom of the layer. I love how this beautiful card turned out and how well these colors worked together.
