Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop The World Around Us

It's time to hop along with The Around The World On Wednesday October Blog Hop and this month our theme is "The World Around Us". You will have the opportunity to visit talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their creative projects and ideas to help inspire you.

For my card, I decided to create a mini sampler design featuring the colors and elements of Fall. I used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle and the Gather Together Bundle from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I wanted to create windows with a different Fall element displayed. I used the Pick A Hoot Dies to create the window openings.

Products Used:

Beautiful Autumn Bundle (item #155189)

Gather Together Bundle (item #153036)

Peek A Hoot Die (item #153573)

Cinnamon Cider cardstock

Crumb Cake cardstock

Very Vanilla cardstock

Cinnamon Cider Classic Ink Pad

Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad

Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink Pad

Stampin' Blends Markers

Basic Pearl Jewels

Measurements:

Early Espresso cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored 4 1/4")

Cinnamon Cider cardstock layer - 5 1/4" X 4"

Crumb Cake cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

(die cut with Peek A Hoot Dies and embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder)

This card design was a challenge for me and had me thinking outside of my comfort zone. I love the idea that each window shows a different element of Fall, as it reflects the changing view outside of the world outside. It was fun to combine these different bundles with the warm colors of this season.

Colour Combo October Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo October Blog Hop as we are challenged to use Mossy Meadow, Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate to create our project this month. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

This month's color combination was quite a challenge and I decided to create a Winter themed card design using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I combined it with dies from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies and the In The Woods Dies to help create the Winter Scene as the focal image. I think that this design would work well as a masculine card for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:

Snowflake Wishes stamp set (item #153444)

In The Woods Dies (item #151809)

Snow Globe Scenes Dies (item #150655)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Bermuda Bay cardstock (item #131197)

Mossy Meadow cardstock (item #133676)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad (item #131202)

Bermuda Bay Classic Ink Pad (item #147096)

Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Combo (item #154878)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Sponge Daubers (item #133773)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 51/2" (scored at 4 1/4")

Mossy Meadow cardstock layer - 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White cardstock layer - 3 3/4" x 5"

Bermuda Bay cardstock for circle die cut

Whisper White cardstock for snow

Mossy Meadow cardstock for trees die cut

The key to this card design is in the layers. I attached the Whisper White cardstock layer to the Mossy Meadow cardstock layer with Stampin' Seal and then added it to the Bermuda Bay cardstock card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the focal image, I die cut a large circle from Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and then die cut another circle from Whisper White cardstock and used the curved die from the In The Woods Dies to create the two layers for the snow. Using Bermuda Bay Classic ink, I sponged the edges of the snow layers with a Sponge Dauber to add a touch of color. The first layer of snow was attached to the Bermuda Bay circle with Stampin' Seal and then I attached the trees which were die cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies with Stampin' Seal to the snow layer. I attached the second layer of snow with Stampin' Dimensionals to add dimension to the design. The sentiment and snowflakes were stamped with Smoky Slate Classic ink and I added Basic Rhinestones colored with the Light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Marker for a touch of bling and added Clear Wink of Stella to the trees for shimmer.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to try this color combination to help you create your own projects.

The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop Harvest Time

It's time to hop along with The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop as we showcase Harvest Time for this month's theme. We will be sharing ideas and projects to inspire you to create your own Autumn and Harvest themed projects to celebrate the new season.

When I think of Fall I think the changing leaves and fields of pumpkins that are common here in Colorado at this time of year. I decided to create a card design that reflected both of these things using the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper combined with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, both from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the Gold Foil detail in this pretty paper and the warm colors that are perfect for this season.

Products Used:

Beautiful Autumn stamp set

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Brushed Metallic cardstock

Cajun Craze cardstock

Very Vanilla cardstock

Layering Circles Dies

Gathered Leaves Dies

Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

Gold Embossing Powder

Measurements:

Cajun Craze cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper layer

5 1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla cardstock for Circle die cut

Brushed Metallic cardstock (gold)

for Circle die cut and detailed leaf die cut

This card design is simple to create but has a beautiful, elegant look to it. The Brushed Metallic cardstock coordinates with the foil details in the background paper and really steps up the design. The detailed leaf was die cut with one of the leaf dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies and I die cut it from the center of the Brushed Metallic cardstock circle to save on cardstock. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder to coordinate with the rest of the design. I added small Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to add a touch of bling without overwhelming the card design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to create your own wonderful projects to celebrate the season using designer series paper. It is a wonderful way to create beautiful cards quickly and simply.

Ink. Stamp. Share. October Special Blog Hop Stamper's Choice

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. October Special Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

Recently we celebrated World Card Making Day and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to create some fun and simple Christmas cards using the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set (item #153322) with the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (item #150432) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. These cute gnomes are so much fun to color with Stampin' Blends Markers and this design is easy to duplicate to create multiple cards to send out to family and friends.

Supplies Used:

Gnome For The Holiday stamp set (item #153322)

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (item #150432)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Classic Label Punch (item #141491)

Real Red cardstock (item #102482)

Garden Green cardstock (item #102584)

Thick Very Vanilla cardstock (item #144237)

Very Vanilla cardstock (item #101650)

Garden Green Classic Ink Pad (item #147089)

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (item #132708)

Stampin' Blends Markers (assorted colors)

Measurements (card #1):

Real Red cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper

(Garden Green Striped) - 5 1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla cardstock - for Oval die cuts

Real Red cardstock - for Scalloped Oval die cuts

Measurements (card #2):

Thick Very Vanilla cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(scored at 4 1/4")

Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper

(Real Red Striped) - 5 1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla cardstock - for Oval die cut and sentiment label

Garden Green cardstock - for Scalloped Oval die cut

Both of these clean and simple card designs are created the same with the exception of the sentiment label. The fun thing about the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper patterns, is that one side is Real Red and the other side is Garden Green. So it is simply a matter of choosing which side you want facing up when creating your card design. The gnome images were stamped onto the Very Vanilla cardstock oval die cuts and colored with Stampin' Blends Marker. I went with traditional Christmas colors to go with the designer series paper. I layered the focal images onto the scalloped oval die cuts and attached them with Stampin' Seal Adhesive and attached them to the card fronts.

For the sentiments, I chose to stamp them both onto Very Vanilla cardstock with Garden Green Classic ink using images from the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set. I punched out the smaller sentiment using the Classic Label Punch and attached it below the focal image on the Real Red designer series paper. For the other sentiment, I die cut it using the Layering Ovals Dies and added a Garden Green cardstock scalloped oval as a matte. I attached this sentiment to the front of the Garden Green striped designer series paper. I decided not to add any embellishments so that the design would be flat and easy to mail but it would simple to add some Basic Rhinestones or Basic Pearls if you wanted to add a little bling to decorate.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card designs help inspire you to explore creating your own Christmas cards using designer series paper. Don't forget to take advantage of the great sale during October and save 15% on select packs of designer series paper. There are so many wonderful designs and the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper is just one of the amazing designs to choose from.
