Peaceful Deer

 

This is my first Christmas card for classes this year! I used the Peace Deer bundle along with some free designer paper Peaceful Prints from the sale-a-bration (SAB) promotion that just ended. It coordinated with this bundle and I love a plaid print. I added it to a piece of Garden Green card stock and a white base. I then cut a white stitched circle and stamped the trees in Garden Green ink and starts in Sahara Sand. I then popped all on the base after tying some Cherry Cobbler twine and bow around. I stamped the deer in Soft Suede on Crumb Cake cards tock and punched out with the Deer Builder punch. I cut the white label from the Potted Succulent dies and stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink. 

Hope you have a Fab  Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

A Snowflake Pinwheel Card For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Fantastic Fun Folds and 3D Projects. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My favorite color is purple so I had to design my first pinwheel card with it!  I made the pillow box in gold specialty paper with purple decor for my post yesterday so I decided to do the pinwheel card the same. For instructions on how to make this A2 size special fold card, I am turned to my talented friend and fellow demo, Julie DiMatteo at thepaperpixie.com and you can see her card with the instructions here.  You can see a list of products and colors below. I used one sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes set and one from the Peaceful Deer set. I liked using several different types of paper like shimmer vellum, gold specialty and gold foil plus some DSP. 

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on November 10th. Our theme will be “Home for the Holidays” when our Design Team creates a project to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Snowflake Pillowbox

 

I like playing with the pillowbox die from the Gingerbread & Peppermint suite called Pretty Pillowbox die and some of the lovely gold specialty paper. I cut the box with one piece of 6" x 6" paper and it folded together easily. I wrapped and adhered the Highland Heather 1/2' grosgrain ribbon around. I used a Wonderful Snowflake cut out plus I cut a Gorgeous Grape and a Highland Heather snowflake with the So Many Snowflakes dies. I finished off with a Gorgeous Grape rhinestone. This box was much smaller than I thought it would be but it can still hold candy or jewelry. 

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

FMS506 Happy Christmas

 

Nice sketch this week over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com and I got to use a cool idea from my friend and fellow demo, Pam Morris at taptapstamp.blog  I took a piece of water color paper and wet it with a water painter brush. I then dropped a little ink in two colors-Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia onto the paper and let it run. When dry, I used the Christmas Trees dies to cut two out. I added some rhinestones for bling. I then cut some white card stock to add to my white base and three strips of in color shimmer vellum in Fresh Freesia. I used a Wonderful Snowflakes cut out behind the trees. I love the sentiment from Warm Hugs set stamped in Blackberry Bliss. 

Hope you have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

Ombre Bag With Gorgeous Leaves

 

I made some tags for the ombre bags for a World Card Making Day project. I got together with several friends who are awesome Stampin Up! demos like me! We each brought a project for all to make and so I came home with so many cool projects done! I used the Tailored Tags dies to cut white and gold tags. I used the gold metallic specialty paper to cut the tag and the leaf from Intricate Leaves dies. I stamped the leaves in Blackberry Bliss and Soft Succulent inks from Gorgeous Leaves set and cut them with the matching dies. I popped them up on the tag after stamping the wood background image From the same set in Soft Succulent ink and the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss from Banner Year set. I used the same color as the bag with the open weave ribbon in Evening Evergreen. 

Here is a photo of us stamping away on World Card Making Day Oct 2nd 2021:

Hope you have an awesome weekend!

Best Wishes

 

Let's talk scraps and DSP! I am a paper hoarder and I do not like to throw away any paper esp designer paper. I kept several scraps of this black and white plaid print from the Pattern Party DSP I used on a card for classes last month and used four of them here. I cut a white rectangle stitched die and added the four pieces of DSP on for a background. I added that to a piece of Basic White card stock and a Basic Black base. I then cut a Polished Pink floral die from the Artistic dies. I stamped the sentiment from Artistically Inked set in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock and cut it with Tasteful Labels dies. I added a few black dots to finish it off. 

Hope you have a lovely Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Thinking Of Love Of Leaves

 

I wanted to cut more leaves from the Stitched Leaves dies in fall colors for a card. I started with Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry card stocks and cut the leaves and then sponged some Soft Suede ink around the edges. I layered the Cherry base with a piece of Crushed Curry card stock and a piece of white card stock cut/embossed with the die from Stitched Leaves dies. I also added a panel of In Good Taste DSP with a wood print and a strip of Cherry Cobbler card stock before popping up the leaves. I then stamped the sentiment from the Beauty Of Friendship set in Soft Suede and cut it with the Potted Succulent dies. I finished it off with a few brushed metallic dots. 

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!
