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!

 

Stampin' Up! Valley in Bloom Fun Fold Pastor Appreciation Card

Good morning, stamping followers! What, you're not a follower? How come? Just click on the "follow" button. Maybe you'll win a prize...lol! 

Well, remember October is Pastor Appreciation month so I made a personal card for my Pastor. Back on October 1, I posted the card I made for our church women's group to give to him. I kind of kept the theme the same. Pastor Mark really does shine!

This is also a CASE of my card that I made here. I have an instruction sheet if you are interested. Just let me know in a comment with your email or just email me...I really do appreciate your comment though! I will send it to you no matter what. Thanks for stopping by today.

Stampin' Up! Beauty of the Earth Square Birthday

It's Makeover Madness Monday once again. This is a remake of the first card I made with this DSP here. I'm not sure if I prefer one big square or the 4 smaller ones. What do you like?

For this card, I used the Lily of the Valley Stamp Set for the front sentiment. I sponged the Zig Zag EF Basic White panel with Old Olive Ink. The sentiment is stamped with Golden Glow Ink.

The DSP square is 3" x 3" and the mat is 3 1/8" x 3 1/8". The embossed panel is 4" x 5 1/4" and the Golden Glow card base is 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2".

I used a retired Ornate Frames Die to cut out the sentiment and adhered it with Dimensionals.

I love the Mossy Meadow & Gold 1/4" trim tied with the white Baker's Twine. I didn't add any other embellishments because I didn't want to take away from the ribbon placement.

For the inside sentiment, I used the Unbounded Love Stamp Set (retired).
 

I added a 1/2" strip of the other side of the trees and called it done.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

 

Stampin' Up! Beauty of the Earth Strip Birthday Card

Good Sunday morning, peeps. This is the next to last day of Beauty of the Earth DSP...I think...but I have been known to be wrong. Unlike the Fonze, I can say that word...lol!

This card employs strips that measure 1" x 3" and the mats are 1 1/8" x 3 1/8". Take a look see...

Thanks for stopping by today and if you'd like to know what I used to create the card, everything is in the chart.
