Gingerbread

Sending Cheer

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Our challenges are either a color or a layout challenge to inspire your creativity. This week is a layout challenge.

Here is my design –

Fabulous layout of course!

I chose the Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper as this week I am short on time, and everything else. This card is designed in true holiday fashion then, right?

These gingerbreads are already on one of the patterns in the pack as a tag. I just trimmed it to fit. Stamped the sentiment from the Festive Cheer stamp set.

Then added detail with these epoxy candy canes. Made the card soo sweet!

You can easily create this card in no time!

Sending Christmas Cheer

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

This week, our challenge for you is to create a card using this layout –

What a simply fun layout!

I started with the Scalloped Christmas Cheer Dies and cut a card base out of Basic White. I put the folded card base just slightly below the scallops to retain the fold.

I then cut another single, full rectangle out of the Timeless Christmas Cheer Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the base.

I stamped two cute gingerbreads and die cut those. I placed them on 2 squares cut from the same Designer Series Paper like the sketch called for.

I added a sentiment and these sweet little Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints. I am soo glad we still have these!

Simple. Easy. Cute.

Favorite Christmas Bundle with Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

November 25, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features our favorite Christmas bundle.

When I first got this catalog, this Sending Cheer Bundle was what I was drawn to –

These are actually tags, but I removed the loops to use them like this. Although these as tags would be stinkin’ cute!

As you can see, they stamp very nice and solid too! No special tools here! Just a little cushion as these are photopolymer stamps.

I added the button heart detailing from the dies and thought, I’d like these to be a boy and a girl. The little bows from the Playing in The Rain Dies are perfect for this!

Another favorite of mine for this card are the colors – red and green just say Christmas to me! I added a strip from the A Walk in The Forest Designer Series Paper.

Big bonus about this stamp and die I featured here? It is on sale! Bummer it is on the Last Chance list and is retiring though.

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

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

I rotated the sketched and created this –

A super sweet – yes, pun intended – card! I am in love with this little gingerbread! It is from the Sending Cheer Bundle. I stamped and die cut it adding the face and the Cherry Cobbler stamped hearts.

I placed him on rectangles from the Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper. Red and green are my go-to Christmas colors. They look so nice on the Soft Sea Foam base. It is such a bright and cheery color!

The Warm Wishes sentiment just goes with ‘cookies’! I had to use it here!

The added detail of the Cherry Cobbler die cut mini hearts really made the card stand out! They are soo tiny!

Check out the other Design Team cards on our Create with Connie and Mary blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas using this sketch the upright way! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

CASing Lori de Groot from Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop

September 23, 2023 · 2 Comments

Welcome stampers!

Thank you for joining us for our weekly Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week is CASing our own designer, Lori de Groot!

I loved the sweet colors of this card and decided this was the one for me to CAS!

I used the Sending Cheer Bundle –

….and created this sweet gingerbread card!

I cut them directly and did not stamp them, just the face and the ‘buttons’ after they were cut.

I used the new Tiny Christmas Tree Die for the background making mine landscape instead of portrait. I love how it turned out!

The sentiment is from the Merry & Bright stamp set. Using the Happy Labels Pick A Punch was a nice to detail the ends.

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great CASes of Lori deGroot for us!

We will see you next week with more great inspirations in card making!
