Maui Achievers Blog Hop – November 2019

By | 1 Comment

 

Our Stampin’ Up! Maui Incentive Trip Achievers get together each month for a Blog Hop!  I’m blessed with great customers and downline who helped me achieve this year’s Maui trip!  This month’s blog hop theme is ANYTHING CURRENT!  I used a stamp set that the Achievers received on the Greek Isles Incentive Trip, Toile Christmas.  Even though it is a BEAUTIFUL stamp set, I haven’t used it all that much…so I’m on a mission to make up some things with it!

I found these galvanized metal ornaments after Christmas last year at our At Home store at a super cheap cost!  I knew I had to grab some and do something with them this year!  I knew this stamp set would be PERFECT on top!

TOILE CHRISTMAS

The ornament is just shy of 4 x 4, not including the jute handle.

Stampin’ Details:

  • A 3-1/4 x 3-1/4 piece of Most Wonderful Time Designer Paper was added to a 3-3/8 x 3-3/8 piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and adhered to the ornament.
  • The cardinal from Toile Christmas stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored with Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler Blends, with a Mango Melody beak.  It was cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die.
  • The leaf branches were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink and colored with Light Granny Apple Green and Light Cherry Cobbler Blends.  They were cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die.
  • Two solid leaf branches were cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock and Snowfall Accents Puff Paint added to the tops of the leaves.
  • Christmas Wishes from Toile Christmas stamp set was stamped with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink on Whisper White and cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die, too.
  • The cardinal, greeting, and branches were all added on top of the background designer paper with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Wink of Stella was added to the berries for a little more sparkle.

Wouldn’t that be beautiful to hang on your Christmas tree?  I think this one will go to my mom…she loves cardinals!  If you need any supplies to recreate this project, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!

CCMC576 – Toile Christmas

By | Leave a Comment

It’s another Thursday rolling around and we have a fun sketch Challenge for you on Create with Connie and Mary!

I decided to use Toile Christmas…one of the stamp sets we received on the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip to the Greek Isles, along with the Toile Designer Paper I also received as a pillow gift!  I love cardinals…they always remind me of my Grandma.  She had several little figurines of them sitting around and she loved the color red!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Very Vanilla, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Toile Tidings Designer Paper was added on top.
  • A 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock was layered on a 2-7/8 x 3-5/8 piece of Real Red cardstock and added to the front.
  • A 3/4 x 4 strip of the striped pattern in Toile Tidings was added across the front.
  • The cardinal in Toile Christmas was stamped with Memento Black Ink, then colored with Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Blends, with the beak in Mango Melody.  It was cut with the Christmas Cardinal Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting was stamped with Real Red Ink on Very Vanilla c/s and cut with the die also.  It was added on top of the Cardinal.
  • A trio of Red Rhinestone Jewels were added to the background.

Isn’t that lovely?  So rich looking!  I didn’t know if I was crazy about that DSP or not…but I really do like how this card turned out…and I always love stripes!  Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
