Stamping Symphony Blog Hop - Sale-a-bration

 

Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

The theme for this month's Blog Hop is Sale-a-bration. I used the Flower and Fields Designer Series Paper and the Approaching Perfection from the Sale-a-bration brochure to make this card. I love the bright and cheerful paper and the fun sentiment. The design I learned from a virtual retreat I attended in January. This design was presented by Jackie Bolhuis from the United States.

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.

Simply Beautiful Cards

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog.  I am so excited to share my love of card making with you and ignite your creativity.  I am an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I will be using Stampin' Up! products.  Feel free to use whatever products you have.

During these uncertain times we all need a distraction or a break for our own mental health and stress.  Card making allows you to create or copy beautiful cards.  Remember the excitement you feel when you receive a handmade card in the mail?  Give someone that same feeling and let them know that you are thinking of them.  Some of my friends just make cards and keep them for themselves.  Either way card making brings joy to you and the world.

I want to highlight these simply beautiful cards.  The Designer Series Paper does all the work for you.  The paper is the wow in this card.

Recipe

• Cut a coloured card base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.
• Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4. 
• Wrap ribbon around the DSP and tie a bow. 
• Stamp sentiment in coordinating ink.  Cut out and adhere to the card using Dimensionals.  
• Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside of the card 4 x 5 1/4 and adhere to the inside.

Supplies I Used

• Poppy Parade for the card on the left and Mossy Meadow for the card on the right
• Peaceful Poppies DSP (151255)
• Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (151326)
• Dimensionals (104430)
• Sentiments from Peaceful Moments stamp set (151595) 
• Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690)
• Whisper White Cardstock (100730) for inside and sentiment
