Metallics Blog Hop

Hey Y'all!

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborators' Metallics Blog Hop. We are using metallic elements in our projects today. This was somewhat of a challenge for me because I tend to lean more to a vintage look, but I love the elegant look of foils as well.

The focal point of my card is a piece of Silver Foil die cut with the tree die from the Aspen Tree dies. I placed a piece of the Snowflake Specialty Vellum behind it and adhered to my card front. My sentiment is heat embossed in silver onto a piece of Basic White cropped with a die from Seasonal Labels.

I also heat embossed the edges of this leaf die cut. To achieve this look, drag the edges of the the paper lightly through the Versamark ink pad, then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat with your heat tool.

And, of course, I had to use some Metallic Edge Ribbon. I colored it with the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blend.

I can't wait to see all of the other projects, I know you will love them as well! Be sure to hop through to see everyone's creations!

Stamping For Christmas Blog Hop

Hey Y'all!

Wow, did February go quickly! It is time for our Stampin' For Christmas Blog Hop, and I just know in December we are going to be saying the same thing about 2021...wow, it went by quickly! I am the queen of procrastination, so I am very thankful for these projects....I will have a few things in my stash!

This month, I used the whimsical Snowman Season stamp set. It has a coordinating punch that I will be using in the future, but for this card, I just used the stamp set. The snowman is heat embossed with white embossing powder. This card can be made with minimal supplies and comes together fairly quickly.

I love a simple fun fold! I started with a Pool Party card base, used the Layering Squares dies for the Real Red and Pool Party layer, and the Stitched With Whimsy dies were to frame my snowman, and also the inside layer.

A quick tip: You can cut your stamps in half! The Merry Christmas sentiment comes in the set as one long stamp, which works on some projects, but not always. So I cut the words in half, and now I have options! If I want the long sentiment, I just simply place the stamp together on the block.

Card Measurements, Tips, and Tricks:

Pool Party Cardbase 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score on the 8-1/2 side at 4-1/4 & 2-1/8
Inside Whisper White 4 x 5-1/4
Use the largest scalloped Layering Square die for the Real Red square, also die cut a Pool Party layer with a straight edge Layering Square die.
Use the Stitched With Whimsy dies on the Pool Party square and the inside layer (***note to self: make sure you use them BEFORE you adhere the inside layer to the card. It worked, but...)
Secure ribbon with a glue dot under the knot to disguise it
If you don't have a die cutting machine or the dies I used, cut a 3" square and a 2-3/4" square

Now hop on over to Kate Bolt and see what they are sharing!

And here is the roll call of everyone sharing projects today:

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!

Tidings All Around Wreath Card

Hey Y’all!
Today’s card isn’t a very happy one, but hopefully one that will bring encouragement to the recipient. That’s what I love about Stampin’ Up!, it allows me to say the perfect thing, even the hard things. I have a friend whose son was killed in an automobile accident just a few weeks ago, and this will be her first Christmas without him.

I love the sentiment from the host set “Greatest Part of Christmas,” and have I mentioned how much I love the font in this set!

The Red Rhinestones just set off that wreath, don’t you think? I added some DSP from the Let It Snow collection.

The inside sentiment came from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set. I wish we didn’t need this kind of card, but isn’t it great that we have the tools to create one when we do?

Don’t forget the envelope! I used the same pattern of DSP. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired. The Tidings All Around and Greatest Part of Christmas sets are only available through January 2, 2020, so get them while you can! If you would like to purchase any of the supplies used, click on the image to go to my online store. Be sure to use the current host code to get Loyalty Rewards from me!

Merry Christmas!

Love,
