Saturday Blog Hop – Ready for Christmas

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week’s challenge is “Ready for Christmas”!

PINE TREE TRIMMINGS

To me, putting up the Christmas tree is the ultimate symbol of the holiday season!  I used Pine Tree Trimmings for today’s Ready for Christmas theme!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Modern Christmas Designer Paper was next…love that print!
  • The Everyday Arch was cut with the die from Smoky Slate cardstock and added to the center.
  • The Pine Tree Trimmings tree was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  It was added to the center of the arch with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The star at the top was cut with the Die from Silver Foil Paper and added with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1 x 2 piece of Basic White and the end cut at an angle.  It was tucked under the side of the tree.
  • Two Lost Lagoon Faceted Gem Trios were added to the background.

 

This card came together pretty quickly!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Saturday Blog Hop – Christmas trees or branches

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week’s challenge is “Christmas Trees or Branches”!

PINE TREE TRIMMINGS

You may sort of remember this card!  Well, it is different because I updated it using the new Pine Tree Trimmings stamp set!  I have “remade” this card several different times over the years…the original from 2012 is one of my most saved Pinterest pins!  I think it is the different colors I used that catches people’s eye!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is added on top.
  • The 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock is stamped with the Pine Tree Trimmings greeting in Poppy Parade Ink and the small snowflakes from Snowy Delights stamp set in White Craft Ink across the top half.
  • The snowbanks were torn 4″ wide strips of Basic White cardstock adhered across the bottom.
  • Two trees were stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Pine Tree Trimmings Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The garland and stars were cut from Poppy Parade cardstock using the Dies, then trimmed and adhered to the trees.
  • A red Faceted Snowflake was added to the center of each star for a little bling.

 

 

So, the same, but different than the original!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a fun platter of Christmas cookies!

PINE TREE TRIMMINGS

This is a cute little set with fun Christmas trees!  I picked out the Christmas tree cookie to replicate on today’s card!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Garden Green cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Real Red cardstock was added to the front.
  • Two 1 x 5-1/4 strips of Christmas Tags & More DSP was added to the top and bottom of the Real Red layer.
  • The Everyday Arches was cut with the Die from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimenisonals.
  • The Pine Tree Trimmings open tree was stamped with Memento Black Ink on the Christmas Tags & More DSP and cut with the Die.  The trimming was cut several times with the Die from Real Read cardstock and the star from Crushed Curry cardstock.  They were adhered to the tree.  The tree was added to the arch with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 3/4 x 2 piece of Garden Green and the end banner cut.  It was tucked under the tree and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins were added to the background.

I don’t know how I originally overlooked this DSP, but so glad I saw and ordered it!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
