mmm...Stampin' Time

This week we look forward to sharing some cute Christmas projects with you.

I decided to use Penguin Place and Holly Jolly Stamp Sets with the Whimsy & Wonder 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and added the trees and stars DSP for my midnight sky. Then I cut the sloping layered hills using a die from the Inspiring Canopy Dies. Each of these layers were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the tree, I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the pink DSP before cutting this tree from the Christmas Tree Dies. I peeled away the backing paper and postioned the tree on the left hand side.

The penguin was stamped and punched using the Penguin Builder Punch. Then I stamped his scarf and beanie using the Polished Pink Stampin’ Write Marker ™ to colour the images. I used the pen end of the marker to draw around the outline of the scarf.

The greeting was stamped using Misty Moonlight ink and trimmed down before it was tucked in under the front sloping layer.

The same greeting was stamped inside the card and on the envelope. I used some of the pink and white twine that was left over from my Love, Santa Tag Kit to wrap around the top of the card and then tied a bow.

Finally, I added some of the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels.

Make sure you pop across and see the other cute Christmas projects from the Freshly Brewed team.

I hope that these projects have inspired you to create something cute and, perhaps, non-traditional Christmas cards this year.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Another week and another GDP Challenge. I look forward to these each week.

I think the GDP team has shared a great explanation for CASEing – Remember that when you CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set – the colors, the layout, the theme, the images – whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own.

For my card I chose the layout and Christmas greeting theme as inspiration.

Using a Basic White card base, I then added an Early Espresso layer with the distressed and embossed Basic White feature panel. I used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder for this layer.

After wrapping and tying some white Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, I added a Basic White embossed circle. I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and then one of the Layering Circles Dies to cut this layer.

The trees, from the Christmas Trees Dies, have been cut from Cinnamon Cider, Early Espresso and Cork Specialty Paper. The cork has Foam Adhesive Sheet attached and the other trees have Adhesive Sheet. This certainly makes securing the trees so easy.

The tree trunks were trimmed back to the edge of the circle to keep them within that focal point.

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Wishes Stamp Set and was heat embossed in white from the Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powders. It was cut using one of the Seasonal Labels Dies (I forgot to add this in my product photo).

I think that I have been a bit late to the lots of white trend but I do like the way this card looks.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Well, I was so caught up in my Coffee & Card class and making Christmas gift tags, I totally forgot to share a post with you yesterday.

I wanted to use the Sweet Stockings Suite to make Christmas gift tags and a coordinating gift box.

The gift box was inspired by Julie DiMatteo’s design for a reinforced gift box. I will be making this Thursday during my Facebook Live if you want to see how to make it.

The box base was made with a piece of Bumblebee card stock and the lid uses one of the designs from the Sweet Stockings 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The tag, which I also used for all the gift tags in the box, was cut using the tag from the Stockings Dies.

I used the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set for the Christmas greeting and the gift boxes. The boxes were stamped onto the tag as well as some scrap card stock. These extra boxes were fussy cut and popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The diamond shaled silver Epoxy Essentials were coloured using the dark Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blend and added to each of the boxes.

The star die, from the Stocking Dies, was used to cut three Evenng Evergreen stars. I added some of the black Cute Star Sequins to the centre of each star. Using half a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional, I added the stars to the top of the box.

I punched a small hole at the top of the tag before threading some Bumblebee 2020 – 2022 In Colour Ribbon through the tag. The tag was then popped up with dimensionals and the ribbon wrapped and tied into a bow.

When the bow is untied the gift tags are revealed.

There are eight gift tags in total and they all have a Basic White backing with ‘to’ and ‘from’ stamped in coordinating colours.

I fussy cut each of the stockings that I chose from the DSP. The Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon was threaded through the top of each tag.

I used the Clear & Silver Epoxy Essentials to add some coloured shimmer to the tags.

I really like the colour combination in this suite and the playful images and ‘pawfect’ sentiments.

What is your favourite Christmas product in the July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue?

Until next time, happy stamping.
