Stamping 411 – Season of Friendship

December 31, 2010 By Connie | 14 Comments

Finally feeling a little better today.  I gave my massive head cold to my husband, though.  He's not too happy right now!  We'll be staying in this New Year's Eve.  I don't like to be out on the roads anyway.  Be safe everyone!

 

 

Stamping 411 has a fun sketch this week!  Hope you try it out!  Here is my version.

 

 

I pulled out a set I haven't used in a while called Season of Friendship and used a couple new products that will be available in the Occasions Mini!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Love Impressions Specialty Designer Paper.  Great colors of Real Red, Basic Gray and Pink Pirouette!  I cut a strip for the background and layered it on Real Red cardstock.  Along the top, I used the Eyelet Border Punch.  I adhered it to a base card of Basic Gray cardstock.

 

To pick up the Basic Gray, I stamped the trunk of the Season of Friendship stamp in Basic Gray and stamped on Whisper White.  I stamped several leaves in Pear Pizzazz on scrap Whisper White and cut them out and applied to several of the branches.  I punched several Small Hearts from the fun Glimmer Paper (I hope they carry this is MANY more colors in the new catalog!), then placed them on the branches, too.  Finally, I stamped Love from Fabulous Phrases in Basic Gray and punched with the Small Jewelry Tag and added it to the card with a Real Red Mini Brad.

 

I LOVE how this turned out!  Make sure to check out what the rest of the Stamping 411 Operators did this week and play along with the sketch!

 

AND THE WINNER IS…..

 

The winner of last week's Blog Candy was picked by Random.org!  Patrice…email me to claim your prize!  When I was very young, my grandmother and I would sing Little Drummer Boy during the holidays.  It was her favorite song!  I love it still today!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year 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 Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, 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!

    This card is wonderful – I'm not a fan of that stamp set, but I love the glittery hearts on the tree. Just a fabulous idea!
    Happy New Year!
