Stitched Stars Dies

We Create – Bundle Up

November 1, 2020 · 3 Comments

Hello November 1st! Wow!

Time is flying this year! Time for another hop with my crafty friends at –

Our theme this month is Bundle Up. Which means, bundled products!

I am using products from the Curvy Celebrations collection. It will be available November 3rd.

Here are the products I used –

Curvy Christmas stamp set

Curvy Dies

Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper

I had so much fun creating with them –

Each one is a mini slim card, 3 1/2″ x 6″.

Here they are in detail –

I added Silver Foil and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The bows were fussy cut. This is a tall mini slim card.

Simple long mini slim card with an added bow of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim. The leaves are die cut from the set.

I added smaller Stitched Stars Dies cut from the Designer Series Paper.

When I cut the two above cards, I was left with these two, solid curvy pieces. I added them to a long mini slim card base with Designer Series Paper in the center. I added two trees using the Pine Tree Punch and another linen bow.

All of these cards show the variety of patterns in the Designer Series Paper. They were also very simple to create. What do you think?

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Metallics

I decided to create another Halloween card –

I started with this Magic in The Night Designer Series Paper. It looks spooky and creepy, but sort of pretty.

I stamped the sentiment from the Banner year stamp set and die cut it using the Stitched Squares Dies.

For the swirls, I die cut some Black Foil swirls from the Stitched Stars Dies.

Trimming them, I placed them around the sentiment.

Pretty quick and easy. Pretty nice for a Halloween card.

Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe – September Challenge

September 5, 2020 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

Here is our latest monthly challenge grid –

I love these! They really stretch my creativity!

Using Star, Purple, and Layers, here is my take on the sketch –

I started with the Summer Nights Add On as my focal layer.

Next, I cut three cob web ‘stars’ out of the Magic in The Night Designer Series Paper. I used the Stitched Stars Dies to do this. The look great against the variegated background layer.

The die cut spider is a spooky addition to the star.

Sentiment is stamped from the Hallows Night Magic stamp set.

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Patriotic Cards

July 4, 2020 · 1 Comment

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

Our theme this week features patriotic cards!

Perfect way to celebrate in the USA, more importantly in Texas, with the current health crisis and advised self quarantining.

I decided to make a nifty background using this lined stamp from the Pattern Play stamp set along with the Stamparatus –

I love this background!!! I used Misty Moonlight first and stamped the three sets of stripes, skipping a wrung on the Stamparatus as I moved it down. I removed the panel, flipped it, then repeated the stripes the same way in Poppy Parade. So. Pretty.

I didn’t want to cover it up too much, so I added a couple of stars and a swirl from the Stitched Stars Dies.

The Cue the Confetti sentiment is from the same Pattern Play stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight on Seaside Spray.

Quite festive wouldn’t you say?

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