Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite Christmas Set

December 19, 2020 · 1 Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our favorite Christmas set.

No problem for this! I have loved the Gift Wrapped stamp set before it was a thing! It’s just the perfect stamp set for a lot of things!

Look at this gorgeous stamped bow –

And, this design can work for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

Look as it is opened –

And fully opened –

I made a gift (business) card holder! Yes, another gift card holder!

I’ve made the tall pop up versions, but not the wide. So I got to playing around! Now, I’ll to take it apart for the measurements! I kept tweaking it!

I was really hoping this bundle would have carried over. It is a wonderful, versatile one! I guess I can use mine when no one is looking! I’ll be great for birthdays!

I am curious as to what everyone’s favorite set is, aren’t you? Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Kre8tors Blog Hop – Holidays

December 13, 2020 · 6 Comments

Hello! Happy day to be hopping with this ‘pop up’ hop with –

Our theme is holidays, anything holiday!

The other night I hosted a Zoom meeting with my stampers on gift cards. Here is one of the styles we created –

I changed it up and used different elements for this one.

Here is what it looks like opened –

Just the cutest!

I made three from one sheet of card stock. Here is how I did it –

With the 11′ sife of my card stock at the top of my Simply Scored (score board), I scored my card stock at 3 3/4″ and 7 1/2″.

I rotated my card stock and cut 2 3/4′ strips, creating 3, with a sliver left to toss.

On the last, shortest rectangle, I cut a diagonal from the scoreline to the corner.

I used Tear & Tape to adhere just along the bottom to make the pocket.

Then I decorated it! Since I used a darker base, I added a piece of Whisper White to the inside to write on.

My pattern paper came from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley. Since there is gold in the pattern, I punched a gold bow from the Gift Bow Builder Punch. FYI, it is retiring and on sale!

I also stamped another bow and punched it, layering the 2 together, slightly askew.

Honsetly, the direction took longer to write than to create this gem! Try it out for yourself!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Whimsical Christmas

November 21, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features a Whimsical Christmas!

I have the perfect card!

Every year I create a santa suit card. And, this year is no different –

Isn’t this the cutest????

It is a fun mini slim card, sized 3 1/” x 6″!

I started with a sheet of 12″ x 12″ and was able to get three from one sheet!

I used the Stamparatus to get a nice, clean, crisp stamped image. Sentiment is from the Christmas Means More. And it is very appropriate for a Santa card!

The red Santa suit is the Red Velvet paper, the belt is a strip of sparkly Black Glitter paper.And, the nifty belt? I used the tiny tag from the Gift Bow Builder Punch!

So easy. So creative. So Santa!

Shoot me an email or comment with email and I’d be happy to send you a pdf with the directions!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest color challenge –

And here is how I used it –

I created a pretty ‘gift’ perfect for a birthday or any ‘just because’ occasion!

My highlight was the stamped bow, colored with Stampin’ Blends.

I added it to piece of 2020-2022 In Color 6 x 6 DSP in Just Jade.

I layered on the Night of Navy backing and the Pretty Peacock ribbon strips.

Check out the Design Team creations on our Create with Connie and Mary blog.

Friday fun card today!

I do have some (ok, lots of) other stamps and dies from other companies besides Stampin’ Up!. Here, I just had to combine two companies –

I used all Stampin’ Up! except for the Disney mouse, which can be recreated with circle dies we have.

The bright pink is Magenta Madness, as well as the stamping and coloring on the bow. That adorable stamp is from the Gift Wrapped stamp set with coordinating Gift Bow Builder Punch.

The simple letters are from the Playful Alphabets Dies. I love the look of them!

This card came together so quickly too. Now, to make more for my Disney lovin’ friends! Lol!

Joy of Sets – Christmas in July Blog Hop

July 11, 2020 · 12 Comments

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to my second blog hop for the day!

I’m shifting gears for this Christmas in July.

I just got all new Christmas stuff in. But, my favorite is this Best Plaid Builder Die to create a gorgeous Christmas plaid –

For the plaid, I used Poppy Parade as the red. The thin lines are Just Jade and Shaded Spruce. All placed on a Soft Sea Foam card base.

The bow is the new Gift Wrap bundle, Gift Wrap stamp set and Gift Bow Builder Punch. I stamped on Soft Sea Foam card stock in Soft Sea Foam ink. I used a Blends to color the bow partially and also to color the card stock strip.

The sentiment is from the Banner Year stamp set, another new one.
