Poinsettia Christmas

This card was recently in a couple of my stamp a stacks and features the Reason for the Season stamp set and again the This Christmas specialty paper. 

I also used the Stitched shapes framelits and the note tag punch popping both of those layers up with Stampin' dimensionals. 

This is one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets and I love to use Cherry Cobbler for the flower petals.

Wedding Gift Idea

Awhile ago, I shared a Christmas themed memory tray with you and promised to share another idea using the same type of tray.  This one is wedding themed, meant for the bride and groom to show off some pictures.

I chose to use the colors in the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper pack for the tray - Tip Top Taupe, Dapper Denim, Mint Macaron and Whisper White. 

The different rectangles are decorated with the designer series paper along with the Floral Phrases and Birthday Blossoms stamp sets.

I added a few little embellishments using enamel dots, basic rhinestones, In color doilies, delicate doilies and some retired floral rhinestone embellishments that were just on the clearance rack.

Floral Phrases, Birthday Blossoms

Dapper Denim, Mint Mararon, Tip Top Taupe ink

Celebrate You

Today I have a little box to share with you, I have shown you one similar to this before and it is a modified version of Erica Cerwin's design that you can find here.

I used Rich Razzleberry card stock for the base of the box and added some Corrugated paper around the top of the opening. 

The sentiment comes from Suite Sayings and I punched it out with the Note Tag punch.

They Say...

 

I really like the patterns in the Wildflower Fields designer series paper (SAB 2016) as well as the color combinations - Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive and Whisper White...

 

For this card, I chose one of the patterns and went with the colors that are in it.  I added some balloons on my piece of Whisper White by using the Balloon Celebration stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped with the Suite Sayings set and punched out with the Note tag punch.

Memories

 

I have used a mix of products on this sympathy card including several different stamp sets.  For the background I chose Timeless Textures and I used 2 different images from that set with some Crumb Cake ink.

 

Then I added some leaves from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and stamped them both on the Wild Wasabi layer and the card base.

 

Finally, I used the Blessings from Heaven set for the sentiment and the Butterfly Basics flower for my accented piece.

Easy Gift Card Holders

 

Well, even though we don't need ideas for this Christmas anymore, I thought I would share this gift card holder I put together last minute.  I had some left over envelopes that Stampin' Up! used to see that fit 3"x 6" cards and thought I would make gift card holders that would fit into them.

 

First, I cut a 6"x 6" piece of card stock and scored it at 3".  Then I did my stamping and decorating on the front....

 

I had some leftover designer series paper from a year or two ago that I just loved and die cut some pieces uses the Project Life cards and labels framelits.  Before I added that piece to the inside of the card, I cut it down to 2 1/4" on the short side.  Then I used the tear and tape adhesive to attach it to the card stock.  Perfect pocket!

 

Remember if you don't have those retired envelopes laying around, you can make your own with the Envelope punch board or just use the pouch in an A2 size card.

 

Supplies:

Jolly Christmas

Smoky Slate, Lost Lagoon ink

Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate card stock

note tag punch

basic rhinestones

Project Life cards and labels framelits

Fun Stamp Case Gift

 

I always have some stamp cases laying around in various sizes so that if I want to put together a little gift with them I have them ready to go.  The one I used on this project is the half size and I added some designer series paper from the Season of Cheer collection behind the plastic covering.

 

Than, I stamped my sentiment and punched it out with the Note Tag punch and layered it on some more designer series paper that I punched with the Ornate tag punch.

 

A little linen thread, some white perfect accents and corrugated paper and the front of the case is ready to go...

 

On the inside, I added some cute little arrow post it notes that came in a Project Life kit awhile ago that I had not used, a regular size post it note pad and some lip gloss and hand sanitizer.

 

The lip gloss and hand sanitizer are attached with little Velcro pieces so that once you take them off, you can put them back in place again and they will stay there.

Friendly Wishes

Night of Navy ink

Happy Halloween!  I thought I would stay in the spirit of Halloween with my card today.  This is one I used at my last Stamp A Stack and it went over quite well - simple and fun!  

 

The sentiment is stamped and punched out with the Note Tag Punch, then I colored the pumpkins in with some Pumpkin Pie ink and added a little button with a glue dot before adding it to the card.

Best Day

 

A little bit of Holiday Catalog and a little bit of the Idea Book come together on this wedding card.  I chose the Birthday Blossoms and For the New Two stamp sets from the Idea Book using Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz ink.  Then to add some accents I chose the Winter wonderland washi tape and designer vellum stack, using the washi tape to attach the vellum to the card base.

 

I also added an Iced Rhinestone embellishment to the note tag punched piece and some basic rhinestones.

Just a Little Something

 

I did some more playing around with the corrugated paper on these two cards, as you can see, I still like to separate the layers!  It is paired with the Sweet Li'l Things designer series paper pack, I just love those little turtles.

 

Behind the designer series paper I added a layer of Very Vanilla that was stamped with the Brushstrokes stamp set and then added a sentiment from the Num Num set.

The circle is embossed with the Decorative Dots folder and my sentiment is punched out with the Note Tag punch.  I added a 2014-5016 In Color button from Sale-a-bration as well.

April Stamp Club

 

I tried to go with some fun spring colors for the layout this month using the Painted Blooms designer series paper and Mother's Love stamp set.

 

For the cards, I chose one that could be used for graduation or other occasions along with one showcasing one of the newest photopolymer stamp sets.

 

My background on this one is the Maritime designer series paper and the sentiment is from Adventure Awaits.

 

And finally, some Flashback designer series paper and the Lovely Amazing

You and Draw the Line stamp sets.

 

 

March Stamp Club projects

This month all the projects included a little bit of grunge in them...

We used Work of Art and Lovely Amazing You on the first card as well as a strip of Lullaby designer series paper.

Next, we inked up the Butterfly Basics and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets...

and for the layouts we used the same stamp sets as the second card along with some die cuts created with the Cards and Labels Project Life framelits set.

We always have room for more in the monthly stamp club or our virtual ones so if you have questions or are interested in joining, contact me here.
