Home for the Holidays & An Olive Story

/ , , / Leave a Comment

I am excited to share the Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin kit with you today!! I had a chance to sit down and create these colorful holiday cards.

I really wanted to do an unboxing video of this adorable Paper Pumpkin Kit – Home for the Holidays, however, Olive had other ideas.

Olive is my Treeing Walker Coonhound, and she is usually sleeping next to my desk when I’m crafting. I setup my lighting, my phone to record the video and got the video started. I was halfway through creating the first card when she woke up. She smelled the stinky skunk outside and insisted on investigating. After investigating she was ready to get back in her bed when she started to reverse sneeze. If you’ve never heard a dog reverse sneeze its quite alarming the first time. By this time she settled back down at least 45 minutes had passed and it was getting late so I stopped recording for the evening.

Fast foward a week, I tried again to record a video for you and guess what?? Yup, it happened again. Olive woke up and insisted on sniffing all around the desk, nudging my arm to make her presense known and decided she needed to go out to sniff the air. I’m still working on editing the video and I hope it’s useable.

I didnt want to wait any longer to share the cards with you. They are so cute and easy to create. My favorite element in this kit is the glitter glue. It adds a subtle touch of sparkle, and I do love a little sparkle. These cards have lots of vibrant color and dimension too. Aren’t they cute?!

Quick Gift Tags with the Very Best Trio Punch

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

I love to make handmade gift tags as well as handmade cards! Although I never seem to make enough of them and this time of year I usually need to make more. These are some of my favorite tags I’ve made. The Very Best Trio Punch and Lights Aglow Specialty DSP with the gold foil accents made these pretty tags come together quickly.

Even thought the Lights Aglow DSP is no longer available(sorry I didn’t get these posted before it sold out) you can make these tags with any DSP for any occasion.

I started by cutting some Basic White Cardstock to 3″x3″ and punching the corners then the tag for the ribbon with the Very Best Trio Punch. Using the Christmas Lights stamp set I stamped the stars across the bottom of the tags in Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen ink.

Next, I cut the Lights Aglow DSP and punched the corners and tags. Using the Stylish shapes Dies I die cut some stitched squares and circles. Then, I stamped the sentiments in Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Ink from the Brightest Glow & Framed & Festive stamp sets.

To finish the tags I added some White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed my gift tags. You can purchase the stamp sets, punch, cardstock and ink along with other supplies to create your own tags in my online store.

Happy Stamping!!

Colorful Merry with the Alphabest Bundle

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

How cute is this brightly colored card? It was very quick and easy to make, and if you’ve been following me for any length of time you know I love a quick and simple card and bling. This card is no exception. The Celebrate Everything DSP has patterns for any occasion and this one is my favorite with all the bright colors! The Granny Apple Green card base is a perfect to match.

To create the label, I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to die cut Sweet Sorbet and Basic White cardstock and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Alphabest Bundle was the perfect choice to add merry in the same bright colors in the Celebrate Everything DSP. I punched them out with the Best Label punch and adhered them to the Basic White rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These layers were adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Inside I added a small piece of the Celebrate everything DSP the Basic White cardstock. As the final touch, I colored a few Opal Rounds with the Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and added them to the front of the card.

Alphabest Merry Card Measurements:

  • Granny Apple Green Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Celebrate Everything DSP Layer: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″
  • Basic White Cardstock Inside Card: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Celebrate Everything Inside Card: 1/2″ x 4″

Demonstrator Training Blog Hop-Fitting Florets

/ , , , , / 15 Comments

Welcome to our Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop of ideas and creative inspiration we have to share with you. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support!

Today we are featuring the new Fitting Florets Suite!! As part of this beautiful suite, the Framed Florets bundle is an early release from the coming soon Jan-June 2023 Mini Catalog. Stampin’ Up! has also released several exclusive products in this suite that are available while supplies last, Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls, Fitting Florets DSP and just in time for Christmas the Framed & Festive Stamp set! Click here to shop the Fitting Florets Suite.

I chose to do a Book Binding Fun Fold for my card. It’s an easy way to add a fun fold element to a standard size card.

To create this card, start with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Basic White Thick cardstock. Score the cardstock, on the 11″ side, at 4-1/2″ and 5-1/2″ inches. This will create a 1 inch “book binding” section on the card. Fold the card in half on the 5-1/2″ score line.

Inside the card add a bit of glue between the two score lines to adhere this section of the card close. Once the book binding section is secure, the card front will open at the point of the second score line.

Next, I cut 2 pieces of Fitting Florets DSP, 3/4″ x 4″ and 4″ x 4-1/4″and adhered them to the front of the card.

To create the label, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Framed & Festive Stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder on basic White Thick cardstock, and die cut it with the second largest frame from the Framed Florets Dies. Then die cut the largest frame with Vellum. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I adhered the Basic White oval to the Vellum oval, then added adhered them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. I die cut a few leaves from the Framed Florets Dies with Vellum and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots under the edges of the Vellum Oval.

To complete this pretty card, Tie a bow on the book binding with some Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I also wanted to add a pop of color so I also added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
