Gifts: Let's Get Hopping Round 37





 Hey Y'all!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And the Let’s Get Hopping crew is sharing some gift ideas for you. I chose to feature the Heartwarming Hugs Suite from the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog. 



Now me being a Southern girl, I had to incorporate Mason jars in my project. I was so happy that small jelly jars fit into the Mini Coffee Carrier. My mom made Strawberry Fig Preserves and Peach Fig Preserves this summer, and I asked her to make some for me for this very reason, to give as gifts.



I used the DSP and Real Red cardstock to make a band around the carrier. I also dressed up my jar lids with die cut circles from the Stitched Shapes dies. 


I created the tag with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I added some of the DSP to the top, and I love the Scalloped die...I used it to make the scalloped edge in the bottom of the tag. 
There are so many things you can do with this suite!  I hope I have sparked your imagination, now fan that flame! Click the arrow to hop over to my friend Eimear Carvill and see what she has in store!

Poinsettia Petals Slimline Card

 Hey Y’all!

I have a stunning card to share with you using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.


I used the Very Versailles stamp set to create the background. I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler onto a Stitched Rectangle die cut.



The focal image was created by doing some tone-on-tone stamping on the poinsettia petals and leaves, then die cutting them and spraying with a mixture of Champagne Mist shimmer paint and 70% alcohol in one of the Stampin’ Spritzers. I added some silver foil elements, and one of the Beaded Pearls for the center.


I stamped a flower image and some greenery on the inside of the card. Slimline Cards will fit in a business size envelope.

Measurements:
Card base- Basic Gray 8 x 7, scored at 3-1/2
Whisper White (outside and inside layer)- 3-1/4 X 7-3/4
Poinsettia Cardstock Colors: Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow
Ink Colors: Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Smokey Slate

Happy Stamping!

Another One For the Boys-Masculine Blog Hop





 

Hey Y'all!

I am joining my Crafty Blog Hops friends today showing you some Masculine projects.  


I chose to use one of my favorite sets, Sailing Home.  I needed a sympathy card for a friend who lost his dad.  


I love the sentiment from Here's A Card, and stamped it on a Stitched Nested Labels die.  I altered some of the Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen ribbon for embellishment.  I used some of the strands to tie onto the anchor, which I thought added a nice touch.  I used the Old World 3D embossing folder on a piece of Night of Navy, then highlighted the raised area by dragging my Craft ink pad over it.  I roughed up the edges with my snips, then curled them to give a worn, rugged look.  Thanks for stopping by, be sure to click all the way through, I know you will discover some awesome ideas to inspire your craftiness!
Blessings!
