Hello! Thanks for popping by.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. It features the Sweet Stockings Suite.

The Suite consists of the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set, Stockings Dies, Jolly Felt, Matte Decorative Dots, Pool Party 3/8″ Striped Ribbon and Sweet Stockings 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The ribbon was the only product that I didn’t use in this project.

I wanted to make each of the three sizes of stockings using the Jolly Felt. So, that was my first step. As you can see, I added the white felt trims and some holly to each of the stockings. For the stocking fillers I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the two gifts and puppy. As soon as the gifts were adhered to the stockings, I mounted them on the three Basic White and Old Olive panels.

A half inch strip of Bumblebee and Old Olive cardstock was cut and I used the Tailored Tag punch to create the banner end on each of them. These were adhered to the Designer Series Paper panel which was then positioned on the card front.

The three stocking panels were also posiitoned and secured onto the card.

I stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler before trimming it and popping it on the card, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The small gift box was stamped on the card insert and envelope. Then I attached a few of the Matte Decorative Dots to the card.

This card is PAWfect for my brother this Christmas – now that he has a second puppy in the family. I hope that he’s going to like it.

Are you a #cat or #dog person?

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello everyone and welcome to today’s project share. I appreciate the time each of you take when you pop by.

As many of you know, I have been trying to be involved in as many blog hops and challenges as I can. They are a great way to try something new and they give me a concept for another project.

Today’s project is for the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. If you pop over to the GDP website, you can see the cards made by their design team and the projects that are being entered into the challenge. If you click on the sketch challenge image below, the link will take you there.

For my project I wanted to use the new Cork Specialty Paper as well as the Garden Birdhouses Stamp Set. I hope you like the end result.

After preparing the Early Espresso card base, I cut the Cork frame using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also cut a White Vellum frame using the Scalloped Contours Dies. The vellum was then coloured using the Dark So Succulent Stampin’ Blend. These two frames were then glued together.

I stamped and coloured the birdhouse and bird images onto a die cut piece of Very Vanilla cardstock before placing it in the centre of the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The layered frame was then centred on the card front and popped up using more Dimensionals.

The branch, from the Birds & More Dies, was cut from a piece of Soft Succulent card that had Foam Adhesive Sheet attached. I positioned the branch to sweep across the top of the frame and the foam sheet added height to the card. The greeting was fussy cut and attached to the bottom of the frame.

I stamped the birdhouse on the card insert and envelope before adding a few 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the card.

It’s been a while since I’ve used dies from so many different sets for one project. I love the versatility of my Stampin’ Up!® products.

I think this card would be perfect, with a pillow gitft, for someone visiting your home.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello to each of my crafting friends. Thank you for popping by today. I am so pleased that you take the time to visit my page.

It is a Wednesday and that means it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop. This week’s theme is Black & White.

This is the perfect theme to use the Beautifully Penned 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper that is one of the FREE products in the August and September Sale-a-bration Brochure. You can add this to a minimum $90 order (before postage) as your Sale-a-bration gift.

For this project I decided to make a version of a Triple Layer card.

I chose three different patterns from the DSP bundle to accentuate the black and white. The pieces of DSP were adhered to a Basic Black layer. Before they were layered up using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, a length of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the spotted layer.

For this card I chose not to have all layers symmetrically arranged.

The greeting is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and was boldly stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock. This piece also had Black Stampin’ Dimensionals used to lift it up from the card front.

A second length of the Glittered Organdy Ribbon was cut in half and slightly frayed. I added a length of Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the ribbon and tied a bow before securing it in place with a Mini Glue Dot.

Some additional DSP was added to the card insert and the envelope.

I wasn’t sure if I should add some Silver Metallic Pearls or not. After I finished taking these photos, I decided to see what they would look like. They looked good, so I left them in place.
