Ink. Stamp. Share Special November Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Special November Blog Hop as we share projects we are currently working on using current Stampin' Up! products. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their creative ideas and projects to help inspire you.

With everything that has happened this year, I have been focusing on fun and cheerful Christmas card designs to help make people smile. The Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog has images and sentiments that are perfect for this type of card and I paired it with the pretty Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #155969) from the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle, which has wonderful patterns in traditional Christmas colors.

Products Used:

Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208)

Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #155969)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (item #151326)

Real Red Cardstock (item #102482)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Shaded Spruce Classic Ink Pad (item #147088)

Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad (item #147115)

Whisper White Cardstock - For Oval Die Cuts

Real Red Cardstock - For Scalloped Oval Die Cuts

This clean and simple Christmas card is easy to create and simple to duplicate. The image of the owls from the Have A Hoot stamp set was stamped onto the large Whisper White oval with Soft Suede Classic ink and colored with a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment with Shaded Spruce Classic ink just below the image and also to the smaller Whisper White oval. To embellish the card, I added a small bow tied with Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and I attached it to the top of the large image. For a touch of bling, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to the small oval sentiment label to complete the design. The Have A Hoot stamp set has several images suitable for creating cute Christmas cards and the Classic Christmas 6"x6" Designer Series Paper has a wonderful variety of patterns to help you create cards for all your family and friends.

New At SU November Blog Hop Happy Holidays

Welcome to the New At SU November Blog Hop and this month our theme is Happy Holidays. Our team of creative Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will be sharing their creative ideas and projects to help inspire you to create you own wonderful projects for the holidays to share with family and friends.

Today I thought I would share a clean and simple Christmas card featuring the Christmas Means More stamp set (item #154730) combined with the Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153489) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the old fashioned traditional feel of the patterns in this designer series paper and how well the designs coordinate with this fun stamp set. The beautiful big sentiments are great as a focal point for creating simple Christmas cards that have a Wow factor.

Products Used:

Christmas Means More stamp set (item #154730)

Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153489)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders (item #153574)

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock (item #119685)

Garden Green Cardstock (item #102584)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Silver Foil Sheets (item #132178)

Silver Embossing Powder (item #109131)

Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon (item #153548)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154880)

Just Jade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #153107)

Measurements:

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

Garden Green Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

(Embossed with the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders)

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock Strip - 2 1/4" x 4"

Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Strip - 2" x 4"

Whisper White Cardstock - For large circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Silver Foil Sheet - For large scalloped circle die cut with the Layering Circles Dies

This card design is easy to create and assemble and would be wonderful for creating multiple cards and you can use different sentiments from the Christmas Means More stamp set and different patterns from the Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to add variety to your cards. I love how the Silver Embossing steps up this card design and I added a touch of color by coloring in the bells with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker and the Dark Just Jade Stampin' Blends Marker. To emboss the Garden Green cardstock layer, I embossed one half of the cardstock and then embossed the other half, matching up the embossing so that the join doesn't show. The great thing is that it is covered up by the decorative strip so it really isn't noticeable. I embellished the card design by coloring a piece of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker and then tied a bow with it. I added it to the base of the sentiment circle with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional. I love the old fashioned look of this Christmas card and the sentiment is one that people will readily recognize and is sure to make them smile.

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 fun cards to send to family and friends. In this crazy time, something as simple as a Christmas card can make all the difference in someone's life. There are so many wonderful products in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog to choose from to help you with your Holiday projects.

Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop The Market - All About Texture

It's time to hop along with the Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop as we explore the theme of "The Market - All About Texture". You will be visiting with wonderful Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they explore this theme and provide you with wonderful ideas and projects to inspire you.

Today is November 11th, Veteran's Day here in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, including Australia. As I think back to being a young girl growing up in a small country town in Australia, I have strong memories of this day and the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Red Poppies are an important symbol of this special day and I wanted to incorporate them into my card design today to create this special card. When I think of markets, I think of the beautiful assortment of flowers on display, waiting to go home with someone to brighten their day. The Peaceful Moments Bundle (item #153824) was a perfect choice with it's wonderful dies that layer to create detailed flowers and the beautiful sentiments that express the importance of this occasion.

Products Used:

Peaceful Moments Dies (item #153824)

Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)

Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200)

Classic Label Punch (item #141491)

Poppy Parade Cardstock (item #119793)

Calypso Coral Cardstock (item #122925)

Garden Green Cardstock (item #102584)

Old Olive Cardstock (item #100702)

Basic Black Cardstock (item #121045)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (item #132708)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Gilded Gems (item #152478)

Measurements:

Poppy Parade Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Whisper White Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

(Embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder)

Basic Black Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

(Die cut the center opening with the Stitched Rectangles Dies)

Basic Black Cardstock - for flower die cuts and sentiment label

Poppy Parade Cardstock - For flower base die cuts

Calypso Coral Cardstock - For intricate floral die cuts

Old Olive Cardstock - For leaf base die cuts

Garden Green Cardstock - For intricate leaf die cuts and small leaves

This beautiful card design is all about layers. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the Whisper White cardstock layer with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then embossed the layer with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I attached this layer to the Poppy Parade card base. To create the Basic Black cardstock frame, I die cut the center out using the 3 largest die in the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I attached the frame over the top of the Whisper White cardstock layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the poppies, I die cut the bases of the flowers from Poppy Parade cardstock and the detailed layers from Calypso Coral cardstock using the Poppy Moments Dies and attached them with adhesive. I die cut the detailed centers of the flowers from Basic Black cardstock and added them to the centers of the flowers. The leaves were created by die cutting the bases from Old Olive cardstock and the detailed layers and small leaves from Garden Green cardstock. I assembled the leaves and flowers and attached them to the Basic Black cardstock frame, using Stampin' Dimensionals and Stampin' Seal adhesive. The small sentiment was created by heat embossing the image onto a scrap of Basic Black cardstock with Gold Embossing Powder and punched out using the Classic Label Punch. I tucked one end of the label under the flower and attached it to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added a small Gilded Gem at the end of the sentiment label to coordinate with the Gold embossing. I love this bold color combination and the wonderful texture of the background that makes me think of wrinkled paper that could represent an old letter written home to family. This card design is just my way of remembering this special day. Lest We Forget.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore adding texture to your projects. It's amazing the ideas you can find in the world around you and how you can use these elements to create special memories and projects.

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.

Products Used:

Flight Of Fancy stamp set (item #153410)

Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512)

Poinsettia Petals stamp set (item #153475)

Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon (item #153548)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Pacific Point Cardstock (item #111350)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad (item #131202)

White Embossing Powder (item #109132)

Stampin' Blends Markers

Measurements:

Pacific Point Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Pacific Point Cardstock for Scalloped Oval Die Cut

and Label Die Cut

Whisper White Cardstock for Oval Die Cut

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. There are so many wonderful products in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog to choose from to create your own unique design.

Colour Combo November Blog Hop

It's time to explore the world of color with the Colour Combo November Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose to create our projects. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their amazing projects and ideas with you.

When I saw this month's color combination, I thought of Summer time and the beach. I decided to create this clean and simple card design using the Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the softness of the watercolor look with these colors and used the Clear Wink of Stella with ink to create a soft shimmer.

Products Used:

Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Coastal Cabana cardstock (item #131297)

Daffodil Delight cardstock (item #119683)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Pad (item #147097)

Rococo Rose Classic Ink Pad (item #150080)

Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pad (item #147094)

Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154900)

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Daffodil Delight Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White cardstock for stamped images

This pretty card design is simple to create with just a few layers and a little fussy cutting. To create the background for the card design, I stamped the sand with Daffodil Delight Classic ink and added the seaweed on the right side with Coastal Cabana Classic ink. I stamped the sea horse, sea shell and sand dollar onto Whisper White cardstock and water colored the images using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and the Classic Ink in Coastal Cabana for the sea horse, Rococo Rose for the sea shell and Daffodil Delight for the sand dollar. I fussy cut out the images and added them to the Whisper White cardstock layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment with Coastal Cabana Classic ink and added several Basic Rhinestones that I colored with the Dark Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Marker for a touch of bling.

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