Holiday

Holly Jolly Wishes

/ Leave a Comment

I usually prefer traditional colors of red, green and white for Christmas cards but just couldn’t resist making a card with the Holly Jolly Wishes Cling Stamp set & the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. I love the colors in this DSP, and the iridescent foil in the patterns give it the perfect touch of bling!

I started with a Mint Macaron card base and added a layer of the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. I love the packages in this pattern. In keeping with the pattern of the DSP, I added the Glittered Organdy Ribbon wrapped around the top of the card like a package.

I added one of the Wonderful Snowflakes, which are part of the Whimsy & Wonder Suite Collection. It coordinates beautifully with the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. Then I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock. Using the Layering Circles Dies, I die cut the sentiment and layered it on a scallop circle that I die cut from the Whimsy & Wonder DSP. I really like the subtle look of the pattern on the DSP showing.

To finish my card I added an In Color Jewel to the Snowflake and tied the ribbon bow and attached it to the card with a glue dot. And last but not least, I brushed a Wink of Stella on the Misty Moonlight scalloped circle.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Card Measurements:

  • Card base: 5-1/2″x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • DSP layer: 4′ x 5-1/4″

Happy Stamping!

Candy Canes

/ Leave a Comment

I love candy canes at Christmas. During the holidays I keep them on my desk at work, I put them on the Christmas tree and we alway have extras so I’m usually still enjoying them after Christmas.

Of course I had to have the new Candy Cane background stamp available in the July – August Mini Catalog. It’s the perfect stamp for simple stamping with just ink, stamps and paper. I have found that the best way for me to get a clear image when using a background stamp is to use my Stamparatus. It allows me to stamp multiple times without fear of not lining up the image correctly. It was so easy I decided to make one with Real Red and one with Garden Green.

The sentiment I choose for these cards is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, with pairs perfectly with this background stamp. To dress the card up a bit I used a bit of Gold Foil Specialty paper with the sentiment layer. It was quick and easy to put these simple, cute cards together.

Candy Cane Card Measurements:

  • Real Red Card Base: 5 ½ x 8 ¼”, score at 4 ¼”
  • Basic White Cardstock: 4 x 5 ¼”, 1 ½ x 2″
  • Real Red Cardstock: 1 ¾ x 2 ¼”
  • Gold Foil: 1 5/8 x 2 1/8″

Sale-a-bration Penguin Playmates DSP

/ Leave a Comment

My card today features the new Penguin Playmates DSP, available during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order. All you need to create this simple and cute card is the Penguin Playmates DSP, a sentiment, some coordinating cardstock and ink.

The card base is a piece of Just Jade cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 11″, scored in half at 5 1/2″. I cut the Designer Series Paper layer to 4 x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to the cardbase with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Holly Jolly Wishes stamps set in Just Jade on a piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 2 x 3 1/4″, little to the left of center to allow room for the Polar Bear image. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer the sentiment layer on a 2 1/4 x 3 1/2″ piece of Just Jade cardstock. Then I attached it to the dsp layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I fussy cut the animals from a piece of the Penguin Playmates DSP. To attach the Penguin and the Fox I used both Glue Dots for the sections that attached to the Basic White cardstock. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals where they are hanging off the Basic White cardstock to give them the same dimension as the Basic White layer. I used Glue Dots for the Polar Bear.

I hope you enjoyed this cute card. It was quick and easy to make.

What will you create with the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper?

Happy Stamping!

Tag Buffet

/ Leave a Comment

Today I want to share with you how I used a few of the tags from the Tag Buffet Kit in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

 Not only do I make Christmas cards to send out but I also make all the gift tags that we use each year. 

As I was making the tags from the kit, I decided to use them to dress up a few gift boxes. 

 

 
 

The Gold Mini Pizza boxes are the perfect size for some tasty treats or a small gift. They are also the perfect size for the tags in the Tag Buffet Kit with just a bit of trimming. 


 

 

The base layer of the tag is 3 1/4″, exactly what I needed for the Pizza Box. I trimmed bit off the top of the tag so that it measures 3 1/4″x 3 1/4″. The white layer is 3″ wide, so I trimmed a bit off the top again so that it measures 3″ x 3″.   

 

Once they were trimmed to the perfect size I layered them with some Multi Purpose glue and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the tree up. 

 

Using the small tag from the Tag Buffet Kit I stamped the “To” & “From” using a stamp from the Little Treats Stamp set. I wanted this little tag to be a little off center, so I added Stampin’ Dimensionals on the end to keep it popped up with the tree and some Multipurpose Glue to make sure it adhered to the tree. 

To dress it up a bit I added a few little yellow stars from the All The Trimming embellishments. Then the Tag was attached to the Pizza box with a bit of glue. I love how they turned out.

The Tag Buffet Kit  and All The Trimmings Embellishments are on sale now during the Year-End Close Out, now is the perfect time to snatch them up for next year! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
