Snowman Magic Scenic Card

 I used the Snowman Magic Bundle for this winter scene card but there is not a snowman in sight! 

I've created a YouTube video to walk you through the steps but I've provided the measurements and product list below.

The front of the card was too pretty to cover with a sentiment so I stamped it inside! This wonderful sentiment comes from the Snowman Magic stamp set.

I used the Snowman Dies for the main scene but also used a die from the Gingerbread House Dies for the snow bank at the bottom. The Basic White frame comes from the Fabulous Frames Dies!

Coast to Coast Creators Hop - Boughs of Holly Half Rosette

 

Welcome to our August blog hop! We are using products from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue today and I chose to highlight the Boughs of Holly Suite as well as a really cool half rosette technique!

The card base is Evening Evergreen with a Real Red layer. The half rosette was made by scoring a 3 1/2" x 12" strip of Boughs of Holly 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper at 1/4" inch intervals and then accordion folding it. The frame is cut from our Distressed Gold 12" x 12" Specialty Paper using our Fabulous Frames Dies (which really are fabulous!). I also cut a Real Red Frame for more support for the Distressed Gold frame. They were glued together and mounted with Foam Adhesive Strips. The inside of the Real Red frame was used as the base for the rosette. I glued the rosette on the base and then cut around the base with Paper Snips.

The Real Red circle was cut with our Stylish Shapes Dies (2nd largest circle). The berries are from the Textural Elements wood pieces, coloured with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I added some Wink of Stella to the berries. The Glimmer paper sprigs in Evening Evergreen were cut using the Holly Berry Dies.

The sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly stamp set and is stamped in Real Red and cut out with the Stylish Shapes Dies banner. Be sure to hop over to my talented colleagues' blogs to see more projects using the Mini Catalogue products!

Coast to Coast Creators Hop - Sale-A-Bration!

 

Welcome to our July blog hop! We are in the middle of Sale-A-Bration (SAB)! Until August 31, 2022, you can get SAB items FREE with your purchase! Be sure to check out my teammates' blogs below to see more SAB products!

I decided to use the Silver & Gold 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper on page 10 of the SAB Brochure. I had a "happy accident" where I, with the intent to purchase our regular medium sized envelopes, purchased 6 packages of the 3x3 envelopes instead! I thought I would cut the 6x6 paper into 3x3 pieces and use them to make mini cards!

Once I cut the 4 different designs down to 3x3, I used Blending Brushes to colour them with our new "In Color" inks! I chose Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party inks. The cool thing is that the ink does not stick to the foil patterns, just to the white part of the paper! I used a paper towel to wipe off any excess ink sitting on top of the foil.

I also cut 3 1/4" by 1 1/2" pieces so that I could decorate the flap of the envelopes, too!

My card bases were 6" x 3" Basic White, scored at 3". The inked pieces fit perfectly on the card fronts. I used the fabulous Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out frames from our Gold Foil and Silver Foil, and to cut circles from Basic White and Vellum cardstock. The sentiment is from our Ringed With Nature stamp set and stamped in Starry Sky on all four cards. I glued the square frames to the card front and glued the circles together. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the circles to the card. These are fun and easy to make!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - New Annual Catalogue!

 

Welcome to our monthly blog hop! I am excited to show you 3 cards using the gorgeous Awash in Beauty Suite Collection on pg 66 of Stampin' Up!'s new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue! Be sure to hop around below to check out the projects of my talented colleagues!

These 3 cards came together very easily using this paper from the Awash in Beauty 12x12 Designer Series Paper. You simply cut the sheet into 6 pieces and you have enough for 6 cards!

Other products I used were the True Beauty Stamp Set and the Organic Beauty Dies from the suite, and the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Rose Gold & White Striped Ribbon.

I used three different cardstock colours, Polished Pink, Balmy Blue and Merry Merlot. Using 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" pieces of cardstock, I cut just part of the diamond trellis die.

I wove the ribbon through the trellis before adhering to the DSP, and then adhered the DSP to the card base.

The sentiments are all from the True Beauty Stamp Set and are cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies (my most used new die set!). They are popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. Super easy!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - New "In Colors"

Welcome to our monthly hop! This month's theme is the brand new "In Colors" from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue! I love ALL of the new colours which are Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. For this project, I decided to focus on the gorgeous Orchid Oasis!

When you're feeling a little under the weather or just stressed out from life, what could be better than receiving this little care package from a friend? I used products from the new Tea Boutique Suite Collection (item 158670 on pg 12/13 of the catalogue). The card base and envelope came from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. The envelope is already decorated for you! To make the pocket, I just cut off a 5 1/5" x 2" piece from the Orchid Oasis side of the card base and glued it down on the white inside edge of the card (see photos). I added a 5 1/4" x 2" piece of the Tea Boutique 6x6 Designer Series Paper and then some Tear & Tape on the sides to form the pocket! Be sure to put one of the tea bags in place before you stick the sides down so that you have enough space inside. I added a 5 1/2" x 1/2" piece of Fresh Freesia DSP to the edge of the pocket.

I stamped the little tag on Basic White cardstock in Orchid Oasis ink (full strength) for the outline and Blackberry Bliss (stamped off once). I die cut it with the tag from the Teacup Dies. The tea cup pieces were die cut using Fresh Freesia and Orchid Oasis cardstock. The tag was attached to the teacup with a 2" piece of Orchid Oasis/White twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine Pack. I used Tear & Tape to adhere it. I die cut the little hearts from Blackberry Bliss.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink on Basic White and then cut with the largest banner from our new Stylish Shapes Dies (a must-have!). I first ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the sentiment towards the left of the die, and then again with the sentiment towards the right of the die. This allowed me to make the banner shorter! I attached the teacup and banner with Stampin' Dimensionals and the little hearts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I finished off by adding some Wink of Stella to the hearts. The teabags were purchased from Amazon and the tea is wonderful!
