Stampin' Up! Stitched Stocking Christmas Card

Mike, Mike, Mike...it's hump day! I just thought I'd make a Christmas card so I could enter it in my team challenges for November :-) It could also be for one of my Italian friends...take a look see...

My Basic White card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". I cut the three strips at 4" x 1 3/4" and embossed them with a swirl embossing folder I had from the days I used Cuttlebug.

The sentiment from the current Stitched Stocking stamp set is stamped in Garden Green on a die from the retired Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

The holly embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Christmas Berries (currently unavailable but expected week of November 30).

The inside is very simple...

I stamped the snowflakes with Cloud Cover ink using a stamp from the Stitched Stocking Stamp Set. If I had it to do over again, I would have used a different snowflake stamp because some of the snowflakes were cut off. That's because it is a square stamp to fit the look of a quilted stocking pattern.  I tried to detract from that with Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes.

The sentiment is stamped with Garden Green ink and it's from the same stamp set aforementioned.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Stampin' Up! Thanksgiving Crackers

 Good Thursday morning, peeps!

Thanksgiving is about 4 weeks away and my son-in-love and daughter will be preparing dinner for his mother, my sister-in-law et moi so I made the place card using the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit. I'm only showing you mine because the others are just like it...only the names have been changed to protect the innocent! These were so easy to make and contain either Gingerbread Cookie, Warm Cinnamon Roll, Spiced Apple Crumble and Candy Cane Chapstick! I filled mine with Peach Chapstick that I got at our September retreat in GA! I'm the only one who likes peach!!

 

I've stuck to my guns about using my PP Kits and I know I'll be using one in November and December. Then I will start all over again for 2027. 

 

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow.

Stampin' Up! Thanks & Giving for the Monthly SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

 Hello my stamping friends.  Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...

 My card was designed by Amy Koenders who was my upline until SU did a restructure so that we only have one upline. My one upline, Mary Deatherage, was mentioned in my post yesterday and is in the hop today. SU can take away uplines, but they can't take away friendships that grew within a team! Now that that's out of the way, let's take a closer look at the card inside and out, shall we?

 

Amy brought the kit to our September team retreat and we all had a great time putting it together. If you would like a pdf tutorial for this card just click on this link.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos below.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Christmas Gift Card Holder

Good Monday morning, peeps! Welcome to the 26th of October. How can that be? Well, it is and my card today is not only thinking Christmas but it's thinking back to September when we had our Crew team retreat. This was a card that Mary Deatherage brought to the table. She was kind enough to give me visual instructions while I was putting it together and she now has a pdf and video for it! I'm definitely more visual than the written word. Let's take a look-see...

Not only is it a gift card holder, it's a SLIDING gift card holder. It's too cute, isn't it?!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold blog hop. 

 

Stampin' Up! Winter Owls Birthday Card

What day is it? Well, according to the camel, it's "hump day". Did you see they brought back the Mike, Mike, Mike ad for GEIKO? In my world, it's Wednesday and welcome! Take a look see at what I created...

I made this card for my daughter's birthday. She showed me a drawing of the next tattoo she wants. It's similar to the owl on the upper right. 

I thought the big die from Aspen Tree Dies (retired) was quite appropriate frame for the owls to nest on. I sponged the Basic White cut out trees with Misty Moonlight and Old Olive inks. 

The retired All About Autumn DSP was the perfect backdrop for a fall birthday on a Cajun Craze base. The moon and owls are from the retired Winter Owls Stamp Set. The owls are cut out with the matching dies. The "moon" is stamped in Misty Moonlight, which was a mistake! I meant to use Mossy Meadow but pulled out the wrong ink and wasn't paying attention!

I cut the retired Balloon Celebration sentiment with a die from the retired Stitched Labels. I adhered it over the Calypso Coral Copper Bordered 3/8" Ribbon using layers of Dimensionals. I had glued the ribbon to the card because it wasn't tied in a bow. To cover the spots of glue, I adhered Painted Patch Adhesive-Backed Dots.

For the inside, I used another stamp from the Balloon Celebration set and another owl from the Winter Owls. The balloons are from the same DSP and were punched with a punch from the Party Punch Pack (retired). The bow tying the strings is from the retired Lots of Lavender Stamp Set.
 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you'll also visit TTTC303 where I have entered my card. I chose to go straight across the top with fall colors (the background DSP), frame and ribbon...such fun!
