By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  We will be sharing our Favorite Sept-Dec 2024 Christmas Bundle this week!

CHRISTMAS FRIENDS

OK, I’ll admit.  This wasn’t even on my original list when the new Mini Catalog came out.  But, since I’ve had a chance to play with it, I really think it is my favorite!  Winterly Tree Tops has got to be a close second and the snowman snow globes in Snowy Wonder is my third.  This is a card I designed for my Club this month!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Paper was added down the right side.
  • The large circle in the Christmas Friends Dies was cut from Red Real cardstock and trimmed across the bottom, then added to the front.
  • A 1/2 x 4 strip of Take a Bow DSP was added along the bottom of the circle.
  • The moose (TOO cute!) was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.  The scarf and socks with Real Red, Gray Granite, and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends.  He was cut with the Christmas Friends die and added to the front.
  • The hat (from the owl) was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Real Red Blends.  It was hand-cut and added to the moose head.
  • Two trees were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Garden Green cardstock and the trunk colored with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the die and added to the front.
  • Happy Holidays was stamped with Garden Green Ink on 1/2 x 2-1/2 Basic White cardstock and the end cut at an angle.  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The word bubble was cut from Basic White cardstock and the notes from Basic Black cardstock using the Dies.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • I found some gold enamel stars and circles in my retired stash and added them to the top of the trees and circle.

See…isn’t he cute?  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!

CSF843 – Festive Words

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. It’s a great sketch this week for you to try!

FESTIVE WORDS                                                                                   

I love this snowman hat…I got this set because I saw a cute card that I want to recreate someday, and I thought it would make some fun tags!  The images are a perfect size for the center of this sketch!  You could substitute ANY of them easily!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive).
  • A 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Snowy Scenes Designer Paper was added to the Pool Party layer.
  • Some Pool Party Pom Pom Ribbon was wrapped around the Pool Party layer and tied in a knot.  The layers were added to the front of the base card.
  • A circle was cut from Basic White cardstock using the Spotlight on Nature Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The hat was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Dark Smoky Slate, Dark Real Red, and Light Shaded Spruce and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.  (I get the Garden Green color by using the Shaded Spruce Blends first, then go over the top with the Light Old Olive Blends.)  It was hand-cut and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some White Loose Snowflakes were added to the background.

CS166 – Polar Bear

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  Our theme for November is Christmas!  Time to be thinking about what you will be making for Christmas cards and gifts!

POLAR BEAR using POTIONS & SPELLS DIES

This card has been done for several weeks, but I haven’t had a chance to share until now!  I’ve made a cute polar bear from the Potions & Spells cauldron die!  Can you see it?

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock was added on top.
  • Two 1-1/4 x 4 strips of Snowy Scenes Designer Paper were added to each side.
  • The greeting from Christmas Friends (perfect!) was stamped with Memento Black Ink towards the bottom.
  • The polar bear head is the cauldron from Potions & Spells Dies turned upside down and cut from Basic White cardstock.
  • The ears are medium bubbles cut from Basic White cardstock and inside ears are small bubbles cut from Petal Pink cardstock and the eyes small bubbles from Basic Black cardstock.
  • The cheeks were colored with Petal Pink Ink using a sponge dauber.
  • The muzzle is a 1-1/4″ Circle cut from Basic White and trimmed along the top.
  • The nose is the beaker liquid cut with the die from Basic Black cardstock.  It is popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The scarf is 1/4 x 5 cut and trimmed and adhered to the bottom of the “top” of the cauldron.

I LOVE how this turned out!!!  So much fun to use those dies for Christmas, too!  And check out our Potions & Spells Collection…we did two other character tutorials in it!  Then see Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

IM357 – Sweetest Star

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This is a cute hanging Santa trio, and I used Sweetest Star stamp set on my card, of course!

SWEETEST STAR

I just love all the small Christmas prints in the Take a Bow 6×6 Designer Paper Pack!  I used several of them in 1″ strips for my background.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • Five Take a Bow patterns were cut into 1 x 4 strips and adhered in the background with a small spacing between them.
  • The Spotlight on Nature circle was cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and the first part of the Sweetest Star greeting inked with a Black Stampin’ Write Marker.  The dots were added to show the greeting continued on the inside.
  • Some Iridescent Ribbon was looped a couple times and attached to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional, then the circle added on top with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Santa star was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Real Red, Light Basic Black, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Gray Granite, and Ivory Stampin’ Blends.  He was punched out with the Sweetest Star Punch and added to the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of white Drusy Embellishments were added to the background (they REALLY sparkle!)

CSF Saturday Blog Hop – Thanksgiving

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week is all about Thanksgiving!  Here in the United States, it is celebrated on November 28th this year!  Tis the season to be grateful for all our blessings!

AUTUMN LEAVES

The “with a Grateful Heart” is one of my favorite sayings.  You can find it in the Autumn Leaves stamp set!  This card focuses on that greeting and the gorgeous Splendid Autumn Designer Paper!  I admit that I’ve been hoarding this floral print…but I finally broke down and used it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Copper Clay cardstock was embossed with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 3 x 5-1/4 piece of the Splendid Autumn floral Designer Paper was added to the right side.
  • Two leaves from the Autumn Leaves Dies were cut from Daffodil Delight cardstock and blended with Copper Clay Ink using a Blending Brush.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Autumn Leaves was stamped with Copper Clay Ink on Basic Beige cardstock and cut with the label from the Autumn Leaves Dies.  It was added over the stems of the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Linen Thread was doubled and then tied in a bow and added to the stems of the leaves.

Love that the Designer Paper did all the work!  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!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Misty Moonlight cardstock, score at 4-1/4 and folded.

  • A 3 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock was torn across the top and added in layers for the snowbank.  Some Balmy Blue Ink was slightly brushed on the tops with a Blending Brush.
  • On Basic White, I stamped five large mountains with Night of Navy Ink, the cabin with Pecan Ink, three trees with Shaded Spruce Ink and the snowman and hat with Memento Black Ink.  All were cut with the Snowy Wonder Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The cabin windows were colored with Daffodil Delight and door with Cajun Craze, the snowman nose with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends.
