Happy Christmas In Purple

 

I made a gatefold for my third card for classes this month. I just had to do some purple so used Gorgeous Grape for the base. I took a piece of 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" card stock and scored on the long side both ends at 2 1/8" to make the fold. I added two strips on the outside with Fresh Freesia card stock embossed with the Wintry embossing folder. I then cut a white Scalloped Contours rectangle to add all my ornaments plus stamp the sentiment from Spruced Up in Granny Apple Green ink. I cut a Granny Apple Green light string and Fresh Freesia ornament plus a silver foil ornament topper in silver foil from the Spruced Up Outlines dies. I stamped the lines on the Fresh Freesia ornment in Gorgeous Grape ink and stamped the big ornment on white card stock in the same color. I stamped the snowflake in Fresh Freesia ink and cut all out. I stamped the happy sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink on white card stock and cut out with the Stylish Shapes dies. I finished off with some rhinestones.

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

Pals Blog Hop With Boughs Of Holly

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Home for the Holidays, so the design team created a project for the holiday of their choice. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love this Boughs Of Holly suite! I am excited to show it off for the Pals Blog hop and it is also my second card for Christmas card classes next week. I started with the Mossy Meadow base and added a piece of Basic White card stock ran though the Wintry embossing folder with leaves. I then added a strip to the side of Boughs Of Holly DSP. I stamped the leaves from the Leaves Of Holly set in Mossy Meadow ink on Pear Pizzazz card stock and cut them out with the Holly Berry dies. I also cut the berries out in Cherry Cobbler card stock and the detail die in gold foil from the Holly Berry dies. I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White card stock and cut with same dies then added to the Cherry Cobbler Stitched Rectangle die.  I finished off with some Cherry Cobbler rhinestones from the holiday gems. 

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 December 14th. Our theme will be Last Minute Gift/Card Ideas.

Merry Mittens Christmas

 

I love how this has a nostalgic feel to it. This is my first card for classes next week. I used a Soft Succulent base and added a piece of Real Red card stock on top. I cut the white with the Stitched rectangle dies and blended some Soft Succulent ink with my blending brush. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate With Tags set in Real Red ink and cut with the matching Celebrations Tag dies. I also cut the gold glimmer snowflakes with those dies and the white tag I popped them all on. I tied on the Soft Succulent open weave ribbon to the top and finsihed off with Real Red rhinestones. 

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

October 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

 

I played with the October 2022 Paper Pumpkin called Hohoho and made some alternates with the items in the kit. 

On the first card, I used my Joyful Flurry bundle with some Bermuda Bay ink and card stock. 

For the second, I cut a camper from the Tree Lots dies in silver adding some Night Of Navy card stock behind. I stamped the santa's sleigh in Night Of Navy ink. For the last card, I popped on some candy canes I cut from the Sweet Christmas DSP with the Candy Canes dies. 

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

'Tis The Season

 

While I had my Parakeet Party paper and ink out, I made this one with the Spruced Up bundle. I started with the Parakeet Party base and added a piece of Basic White card stock embossed with the Wintry embossing folder and a strip of the Sweetest Christmas DSP.  I cut a Stylish Shapes circle in Real Red. I stamped my tree from the Spruced Up set in Parakeet Party ink on white card stock and cut them out with the Spruced Up Outlines dies so I could layered the two pieces together on my circle. I stamped the sentiment and banner from the Christmas Banners set in Real Red ink and popped it on after cutting with the Christmas Banners dies. I finished with Parakeet Party dots on the outlined tree. 

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

PP615 Fond Of Autumn Wishes

 

I am playing along with Anne Marie's tic-tac-toe challenge this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com with the Fond Of Autumn bundle. I went across the top with metallic, die-cut and fall. And down the right column also wirks with fall, embellishments and stitching. 

 I did add to my Soft Succulent base a piece of the honeycomb gold foil from the August 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit. I then cut a white circle with the Stylish Shapes die and stamped the sentiment from the Fond Of Autumn set in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. I stamped the images a few times plus extra acorns in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored them all with the Stampin Blends markers. I cut them out with the matching Autumn Bouquet dies. I finished off with a few retired gold pearls. 

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