Stamping Symphony Blog Hop - Window card

 

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe that it is December? Christmas is literally around the corner. The theme for this month's Blog Hop is a Window Card. I had to look that up on Pinterest. I found a video by Jackie Bolhuis that demonstrated this card and I fell in love with this technique.

I didn't want to make another Christmas card so I pulled out one of the stamp sets that I bought during the Online Extravaganza last month. I have been waiting to play with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and brighten a dreary day. There are so many colour combinations that work with this stamp set. I choose Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green. I love this combination.

Measurements:

• Highland Heather cardstock - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Whisper White cardstock - 8 x 5 scored at 4
• scrap of Whisper White cardstock for the window piece and sentiment

Instructions:

1. Take the Highland Heather cardstock and die cut a square out of the front of the card - centering it on the sides and closer to the top of the card front.
   
   
   
2. Cut out of the scrap Whisper White cardstock the frame for the window using the same square and a slightly bigger square as shown.
   
3. Adhere the white frame to the window on the Highland Heather card front.
   
4. Stamp the sentiment on a Whisper White cardstock strip using Gorgeous Grape ink and adhere it to the card front using Dimensionals.
5. Fold the 8 x 5 piece of Whisper White cardstock in half. Stamp the front of this piece using the Blossoms in Bloom large stamp and Highland Heather ink for the blossoms, Gorgeous Grape ink for the inside of the blossoms and Granny Apple Green ink for the leaves. Stamp the inside using the same inks and a smaller blossom and leaves.
   
   

   
6. Adhere the inside piece to the back inside piece of the Highland Heather card.
7. Using White Crinkled Seam Binding wrap it around the card and tie a bow as shown.

November Stamping Symphony Blog Hop

 

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are doing well. Christmas seems like it is just around the corner. I have been busy making Christmas cards for friends and customers. I will make mine once everyone else is taken care of.

This month's Blog Hop is Christmas with a flare - I chose a fun fold card to demonstrate. I just received this paper and am having so much fun with the paper and bundle. The paper does all the work. I die cut the house from one of the DSP. They are simple enough to fussy cut too. When you purchase the Coming Home stamp set, Stampin' Up! will donate $4.00 to charities devoted to adoption, foster care and infertility. You can make a difference with your purchase. I just loved the stamp set, dies and DSP. The donation was a bonus.

Let's find out how to make this fun, simple card!

Measurements:

• Misty Moonlight card base - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
• Poppy Parade cardstock - 3 1/2 x 5 1/2; 3/4 x 5 1/2 scored at 3/4" for flap
• Whisper White cardstock - 3 x 11 scored at 5 1/2; scrap for circle and sentiment
• DSP (Trimming the Town DSP) - 2 3/4 x 5 1/2

Instructions:

• Adhere the large Poppy Parade rectangle to the card front leaving an even border on the sides.
• Fold the Whisper White cardstock in half along the score line. Adhere the DSP to the front of this piece leaving an even border on the sides.
• Adhere the Whisper White piece with the DSP to the card front leaving and even border of Poppy Parade on the sides.
• Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2" strip on Whisper White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and    the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals
• Take the Poppy Parade cardstock strip and flag the end using a punch or scissors. Put adhesive      on the folded 3/4" part and adhere to the back of the card. 

• Die cut the second largest Stitched Circle from a piece of Whisper White cardstock.
• Cut out one of the houses from the Trimming the Town DSP. Adhere to the Stitched Circle.
• Adhere this piece to the center of the flag piece.

I hope you enjoyed this fun and simple card. I am going to make a bunch of these for my family and friends.

• In Good Taste DSP for the dove - 3 x 2 3/4
• In Good Taste DSP wood panel - 3 x 5 1/4

Instructions:

1. Cut the card base and score. Fold in half.
2. Adhere the wood panel onto the card front centering to the left hand side.
3. Die cut the Misty Moonlight paper using the Stitched So Sweetly largest rectangle and the third smallest Stitched Nested Labels.
4. Emboss the Very Vanilla  piece using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Adhere this piece to the large Misty Moonlight die cut rectangle.
5. Stamp the sentiment from the Comfort and Hope stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink on the scrap piece of Very Vanilla and die cut using the second smallest Stitched Nesting Labels. Adhere to the Misty Moonlight die cut piece.
6. Stamp the dove from the Dove of Hope stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink. Die cut the dove using the Detailed Dove Dies. Adhere to the top left hand corner of the Misty Moonlight and Very Vanilla rectangle as shown.
