Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Week 7 / Gifting Creativity

Posted in Christmas, Gift Giving ideas, Paper Pumpkin by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Looking for a unique gift that sparks creativity and brings loved ones together? Enter Paper Pumpkin – a delightful subscription box packed with everything needed to craft stunning projects. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a complete novice, Paper Pumpkin invites you to explore the joy of creating beautiful handmade crafts while making cherished memories with family and friends.

Let me share the fun of Paper Pumpkin with our October Christmas Kit ….

But why is Paper Pumpkin the perfect gift? Here are a few reasons:

  1. Shared Experience: Gifting a Paper Pumpkin subscription isn’t just about providing a crafting kit; it’s about sharing an experience. Imagine the joy of gathering around a table with family and friends, eagerly unboxing the latest kit, and embarking on a creative adventure together.
  2. Accessible Creativity: Not everyone feels confident in their crafting abilities, but Paper Pumpkin is designed for all skill levels. It’s a fantastic way to introduce loved ones to the world of crafting without overwhelming them. The guided instructions make it accessible and enjoyable for everyone involved.
  3. Monthly Surprise: The anticipation of receiving a new kit each month adds an element of excitement and surprise. It’s like unwrapping a present filled with creative possibilities every time the mailbox clinks!

Let’s take a closer look at the Alternative Projects. My first was a simple take on the card by just removing one of the house stacks ….

The second card I took the houses from the landscape card and paired it with a card base that was colored with a Blending Brush and then spritzed with Wink of Stella….

The third card used the cardbase from the houses of our second card and added the Beary Cute Bears! The greeting comes from the “So Very Merry” from the Online Exclusive line. I inked “each” word separately and stamped it. I also added a scarf and hat to my bear “after” the Facebook LIVE ended…. I also added some snow from the scrap glitter paper around the banners in the kit!!

So, how can you gift this wonderful experience? Consider presenting your loved ones with a Paper Pumpkin subscription. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, delivering monthly doses of creativity right to their doorstep. AND … to sweeten the deal, I have a special offer: when you purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription for yourself or as a gift, you’ll receive a complimentary Paper Pumpkin Bag to enjoy yourself! It’s a gift to them, from you, and a little something for you too.

Posted in Christmas, Gift Giving ideas by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Looking for a thoughtful yet simple gift idea that’s sure to warm hearts this holiday season? Look no further than a delightful Hot Chocolate Packet /Holder! Whether it’s for teachers, colleagues, or anyone who enjoys cozy winter treats, this little package is a surefire way to spread some cheer. Inside, you’ll find the makings of a delicious cup of hot cocoa along with a special touch – a tube of crushed candy canes to infuse that beloved peppermint flavor. Let’s dive into how you can create this delightful and festive gift!

Measurements:

  • Cardstock: Real Read 8 ½” x  5 ½”
  • Cardstock 2:  Basic White: 4” x 4”
  • Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper: 5 1/8” x 4”
  • Black & White Gingham Ribbon: 12”

Instructions:

  • Score 8 ½” side of cardstock at 4 ¼”.  Fold and Burnish.
  • Card base: Make a tick mark at 2-3/4″ along the 5-1/2″ side and cut from the tick mark to where the center score line meets the top edge
  • Designer Paper: Make a tick mark at 2-5/8″ along the 5-1/8″ side and, with the tick mark along the right side, cut from the tick mark to the opposite left corner
  • Attach the piece of designer paper to the front with diagonal cut, leaving a border around the edges.
  • Take your Tear & Tape adhesive and run it along the bottom edge of that was not cut. This creates the pocket to hold your Hot Cocoa Mix.
  • Punch your first hole about 5/8” from the edge and about 1/2″ from the diagonal.  Doesn’t have to be perfect.  Punch second hole about ½” lower. This holds our treat tube.
  • Use your Real Red Stampin’ Blend to color your Black & White Gingham Ribbon. Let Dry.
  • Feed ribbon through bottom hole from the front side – pulling it through to the front side, feed it through the top hole.  This creates a loop that will hold your treat tube.
  • Tuck your Treat Tube into loop and pull firmly.  Tie in a bow.
  • Stamp the “Cup of Cheer” image in Memento Ink onto White cardstock. Let Dry.
  • Use small Blending Brush to brush on Balmy Blue ink.
  • Using Stampin’ Blend; color as desired.  I used the three shades of Natural Tones for my cookie.
  • Die cut image with Largest Circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

NOTE: I used Crushed Peppermint (Candy Canes) and Nestle Hot Chocolate packets that I found at Walmart.  Treat Tubes can be found on Amazon under “Treat Tubes for Crafting / Candies”.  

I just love how this turned out, and so easy to make! You will definitely spread cheer when handy out these tasty treat. If peppermint isn’t your thing, I found Mini-Marshmallows and Salted Caramel treats as well.

I’d love to know if this inspired you to create some of these treat packets for those on your Christmas list!! They make great stocking stuffers too!!

Celebrate the Season with the Joy of Christmas Suite

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today we will be celebrating the upcoming season with the Joy of Christmas Suite. Many of you are beginning your holiday cardmaking, and what better way to do so than with beautiful handmade Christmas cards? The Joy of Christmas Suite from Stampin’ Up! offers everything you need to create stunning holiday greetings that will warm the hearts of your loved ones.

In this blog post, we’ll focus on two exquisite components of this suite: the Joy of Noel dies and the Joyful 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper. I’ll also demonstrate how to make a simple yet elegant Christmas card, embellished with Gold Festive Pearls, using Cherry Cobbler cardstock and Gold Foil. Let’s dive into the world of festive creativity!

The Joy of Noel dies are the perfect addition to your crafting arsenal this holiday season. These intricate dies allow you to effortlessly create stunning holiday-themed designs that will leave a lasting impression. One of the standout features of these dies is the word “Noel,” which adds a touch of elegance to any project.

The Joyful 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper is a delightful collection of holiday-themed patterns and designs. With its rich color palette and intricate patterns, this paper is ideal for creating beautiful cards and projects. It includes metallic accents that add a touch of opulence to your creations, making it the perfect choice for your Christmas-themed projects.

  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock (8.5″ x 5.5″, folded in half to create a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base)
  • Gold Foil (4″ x 5.25″)
  • Joyful 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper (3.75″ x 5″)

Using the Joy of Noel dies and a die-cutting machine, cut out the word “Noel” from the Gold Foil. This is a great paper saving technique. Now you can attach the Gold Foil to your Cherry Cobbler Cardbase, and the Joyful Designer paper over that. Using Dimensionals, attach your “NOEL” to the cardfront.

Add Gold Festive Pearls to the card to enhance its elegance. You can place them strategically around the “Noel” die-cut or as you prefer.

With the Joy of Noel dies, Joyful 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper, and other coordinating products, you can create beautiful, heartfelt Christmas cards that will bring joy to your loved ones. This simple yet elegant card, adorned with Gold Festive Pearls, is just a glimpse of the endless possibilities this suite offers.

So, gather your supplies, let your creativity shine, and share the magic of Christmas with handmade cards that truly convey the spirit of the season.

Happy crafting ~

From Scraps to a Stunning Christmas Card

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

What do you do with your scraps when cutting for your main cards? Rather than letting them collect dust or tossing them, why not turn them into something extraordinary? In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a creative endeavor using leftover pieces of the Joy of Christmas designer paper. Get ready to unlock the full potential of those remnants!

I used leftover pieces of Joy of Christmas designer paper to create my background. Then, I gathered up my Joy of Noel bundle to compliment the designer paper, and some vellum cardstock along with the Nested Essentials Dies … to create my focal point.

From the Joy of Noel bundle, I chose the NOEL for my project’s theme. In this instance, the greeting was selected to serve as the focal point. The choice of stamp sets the tone for the entire piece.

Utilizing the Nested Essentials dies to cut the vellum cardstock …. the translucent quality of vellum adds a touch of sophistication to your creations, enhancing the overall visual appeal. When you layer the vellum over the leftover designer paper it allows the intricate patterns to peek through. This layering technique adds depth and visual interest.

I took my creation a step further by incorporating additional embellishments, which were created by stamping, coloring and cutting out the holly leaves from the Joy of Noel bundle. I also used the Festive Pearls to complement the color scheme and theme of the project.

Don’t let those leftover designer paper scraps go to waste. With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can transform them into stunning works of art. In this project, I repurposed remnants of Joy of Noel designer paper and combined them with vellum to create a visually captivating masterpiece.

So, the next time you find yourself with leftover paper, remember – the possibilities are endless! Happy Crafting!

A Beary Merry Christmas

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

ooking for a great way to spread cheer with a heartfelt, handcrafted Christmas card to your loved ones? Today, I’m excited to showcase the Beary Cute Christmas bundle, a delightful collection of stamps, designer paper, and a bear punch that will help you create charming and festive cards. Whether you prefer the personal touch of hand stamping or the convenience of designer paper, this bundle has you covered.

Here is a replay of my Facebook LIVE that will take you step by step through 2 different style cards….

Let’s take a close up look that those cards. We’ll start with the card that I created with the designer paper. There are so many cute animal figures that you can fussy cut to create any layout you wish.

The next card is also from the video and used a soft background created with the blending brushes to create the focal point, just as I did on the first card with the vellum circle from the Stylish Shapes die. The Real Red really makes this card striking! Let’s take a look ….

I shared a third card on the video that has the same layout as the card above, but instead of embossing the card front with the Snowflake embossing folder, I used the Stitched with Whimsy to create a border that adds texture in a totally different way….

With the Stitched with Whimsy dies, I stamped the greeting directly onto the front but then added a Real Red mat behind my card front to really pull the “red” out! Totally making it pop! Both are cute, but even with the exact same layout, they look so different.

The Beary Cute Christmas bundle offers a delightful and versatile way to create charming Christmas cards. This bundle provides you with everything you need to spread holiday joy. So, gather your supplies, unleash your creativity, and start crafting those beary cute cards to share with your friends and family this holiday season.

Happy crafting!

Beary Cute Gifts For You

Posted in Christmas, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Yesterday, we explored the Beary Christmas Memories and More Card pack, and I showed you how to create some delightful and easy-to-make holiday cards. Today, we’re continuing our creative journey with these cards by exploring the art of layering. I’m using the same two cards, and cutting out the presents on one to layering a few onto the first card … you can actually get two card from 3 of these 4′” x 6″ present cards.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of crafting is experimenting with different techniques and materials to make your creations stand out. Layering is a fantastic way to enhance the visual appeal of your cards. The key to successful card layering is to be adventurous and have fun.

Layering looks great with texture so I used the Stitched with Whimsey dies to create some fun texture around the edge. I added Wink of Stella to each of the bows on the packages that I popped up. My greeting was stamped in Old Olive from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and then die cut with the banners from the Stylish Shapes dies.

So, if you’re ready to have some fun with your holiday card-making, give this layering tip a try. The Beary Christmas Memories and More Card pack offers an excellent canvas to spark your creativity. With a little patience and a sprinkle of festive magic, your layered presents will be sure to spread joy and cheer to your loved ones this holiday season.

Hope the cards that I have shared these past two days have inspired you to try some fun and easy layering techniques.

Thank you for checking out my blog … Have a great day.
