Saturday Blog Hop – Non-Christmas using a Christmas Set

August 19, 2017 By Connie | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! Our design team theme is featuring “a Non-Christmas card using a Christmas set”. Hmmm, a little more challenging this week! Can’t wait to see what the Design Team does with this theme…it is always a surprise on what set they use!

I decided to use a set that I received in Thailand as a pillow gift, Ready for Christmas! I changed it up to be a birthday card using that cute little wiener dog!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Lemon Lime Twist, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White.
A 3-1/2 x 4 piece of Birthday Memories Designer Paper was added to the bottom of the Whisper White and a length of Lemon Lime Twist Woven Ribbon was added to hide the seam and adhered in the back.
The greeting from Bunch of Blossoms was stamped in Early Espresso Ink above the ribbon.
The largest oval From Stitched Shapes was cut from Whisper White cardstock and the table stamped with Early Espresso Ink, then watercolored with Crumb Cake.
The presents, cookies and dachshund were stamped with Memento Black on Whisper White cardstock, then watercolored with Sweet Sugarplum, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Lemon Lime Twist, Chocolate Chip Inks and an AquaPainted. They were cut with the Christmas Staircase Thinlits. They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

OK…can I say how HAPPY this card made me? It came out exactly how I pictured it in my head. So glad I can use this set for a birthday, too!

Check out what the rest of the Design Team did with the Non-Christmas with a Christmas Set theme on their cards by taking our Saturday Blog Hop!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
