From Scraps to a Stunning Christmas Card

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!

Throwback Thursday: From Gift Tags to Cool Cards!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

When it comes to crafting, there’s no shortage of creative possibilities. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, our Stampin’ Up! Kits Collections and Paper Pumpkin Kits are fantastic resources that offer a wide range of creative opportunities. In this blog post, I’ll share how you can expand your versatility of these kits and how they can inspire your crafting journey.

If you enjoy regular doses of creative inspiration, Paper Pumpkin Kits are the way to go. These subscription kits are delivered to your doorstep every month, containing exclusive stamp sets, ink, and all the materials required for a particular project. Each month, the theme changes, keeping your creative juices flowing.

I’m sharing the video replay along with the photos and the alternative projects, this will give you an idea of how you can change up some of our current kits, and I’ll share them with you below.

How cute and how simple, right! Let’s start with the “Candy Cane” tag ….

And now for the card…

You can create this super simple alternative card with a Mint Macaron card base and the magic of a quarter sheet of the Snowflake Specialty paper.

Here is a look at the “Santa” tag ….

To create this card you simply stamp the background as shown in the video …

and with a few additional colors added, Cherry Cobbler mat and the Crumb Cake card base, you end up with a fun card.

Let’s take a look at our last tag, the “Express Delivery ….

Another easy alternative to the tag is the next card ….

I used the Brick Embossing Folder on the 3 – 4″ x 1-1/2″ strips layered onto a Basic White Base. Don’t you love using the “scrap” little dots from the tag for an embellishment!?

You may have noticed that I stuck pretty close to what was in the kit except for the cardstock. I did have a little more fun with my fourth card….

I used a Basic White cardbase and one of the cards from the Santa Expess Memories and More Card kit for my background. The white circle and the sparkly tag are from the kit and then I added the snowflake from the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishments. Speaking of embellishments …. I also added a few Iridescent Rhinestone for even more bling!

I hope you enjoyed all the alternative projects created here for you, but now let me share a current kit that you could use in the same way as I did with these projects. Let me introduce you to the Festive Tags Kit … perfect for this application and you’ll get 15 tags for only $13!!

Thanks for joining me. Have a great day and happy crafting ~

A Beary Merry Christmas

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

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.

Twelve Weeks of Christmas: Week 2 / Pretty Paper

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I’ll be sharing the cards we made last night during the LIVE, the Video replay, the measurement sheets and two extra cards!! I have an action packed day for you today. Let’s begin with the video with the measurements and cards to follow.

Here is the measurements for our Double View Designer Paper card that highlights your designer paper showing both sides .. Our pretty papers make these easy to assemble cards with the message and feelings you intend.

On today’s cards I used the Merry & Bright and the Walk in the Woods Designer Series papers, with the Poppy Parade and Pretty Peacock cardstocks. The “Christmas is Better Together” greeting comes from the Beary Cute Bundle and the “Happy Holidays” came from the Throughout the Year stamp set. Both greetings were die cut from the Nested Essentials Dies.

For the fun fold I used the same designer paper and cardstock. On the Poppy Parade card I again used the Throughout the Year stamp set and the 2 3/8″ punch for our greeting, and then embellished with the Iridescent Rhinestones. The greeting, the tag & tree dies all come from the Merriest Tree Bundle.

Now let’s take a look at some alternatives for our Quick & Easy Double View card ….

On this card I used the designer paper, greeting and die all from the All About Autumn suite of products and the Elegant Borders Dies. This adds a beautiful touch to the stunning designer paper. This just shows that you can change up the 1 1/4″ section of our cardstock.

Our second card was designed to celebrate Halloween …

This little cutie screams fun! The Elegant Borders dies were also used on our Halloween card to enhance and create a fun border. A strip of designer paper and bakers twine were also used to embellish our card and tie in all the colors. I used the “Them Bones” Designer paper for our last card, along with the die cuts from the “Tricks and Treats” bundle.

And this brings me into more Halloween FUN on my Facebook page …. Be sure to head on over and join in the fun, games and specials!

A Birthday Celebration / Celebration of Life …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today would have been Armani’s 4th birthday, as you know… he passed away unexpectedly last Friday from what they believe was a seizure. I’m sharing the Patchwork Pieces card that I created during a Facebook LIVE for him … he LOVES Orange!! This little guy had to come into my stamp room every time he was over and checked out the cards I have made … he’s was the sweetest little guy 🧡!!

Here is the video replay of my Facebook LIVE ….

Wasn’t that fun and easy to create? And by using the designer paper and cardstock, you have enough left over for a second card. Have some fun and die cut some black and turn it into a Halloween card … the possibilities are endless.

So … Do you think he will love this card? The last one he took had flowers, but it was ORANGE!! He even passed up the spaceship over those orange flowers …. told you he was a hoot!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog post today. Have a great day ~

Halloween Graveyard with Them Bones

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday’s “Stamp with Me” video and card layout featuring the Joy of Christmas Suite/Collection were an absolute delight, weren’t they? It’s always a pleasure to explore new creative avenues and share our crafting joys.

The clean and straightforward card layout demonstrated in the video is not only visually appealing but also easy to recreate. It allows room for creativity and personalization, making it a go-to design for card makers. You don’t need “what I have” … use the measurements with the goodies YOU have.

But today, we’re shifting gears and getting into the Halloween spirit! We’re all set to embark on a spine-tingling crafting adventure with the “Them Bones” Designer Paper and the “Tricks and Treats” bundle. Get ready for some frightful fun!

The “Them Bones” Designer Paper is a spooktacular choice for crafting during the Halloween season. With its hauntingly fun skeletons, bats, and other creepy critters, this paper pack is bound to add an extra dose of Halloween spirit to your creations.

Pair this paper with the “Tricks and Treats” bundle, and you’re in for a wickedly good time. This bundle offers a delightful stamp set and coordinating dies, perfect for crafting spooky cards, treat bags, and more.

I used the Timeworn Typed Embossing Folder to create the look of an old headstone to add an added touch of spookiness… on that note, I created a headstone from the die which highlights our greeting. We’ve got skeletons dancing in the graveyard with our Glow in Dark bats lighting up the way!

Stay tuned for more exciting crafting adventures, and remember, it’s not just about the destination; it’s the joy we find in the journey.

Happy crafting, and have a spine-tingling Halloween season!
