Wrapped in Cheer tags for Christmas

I shared the November Paper Pumpkin kit on last week’s live video. I just love receiving my crafty box in the mail each month! Easy crafting without a plan or step it up and use your creativity to change the projects.

There were two different tags in this kit and each one includes multiple pieces. Aren’t they pretty? The embossing folder is called Traditional Wreath 3D folder and can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
*The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

I used the tags to make Christmas cards which you can see below. All I did was add a textured layer and a card base. *I’ll share more details tomorrow.

Remember that each month my subscribers and Team receive my bonus projects PDF. Lots of unique ideas to create with the contents of each box. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here.

Below is the video where I share this kit, last months and how to make the cards too.

• Blossoms in Bloom; another pretty cards duo

  June 15, 2020

  ---

  Today I have a pair of cards made with the 'Split Technique'. This is where you stamp or die-cut once to get two cards.  

  I used the Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here, cutting out two sets of floral dies. I'm sharing lots of projects featuring this incredible bundle this week. 

  

  I sponged the thicker die-cut with Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.  Then I adhered the thin die-cut over the sponged one using liquid multipurpose adhesive.  Next I cut the full, layered die-cut in half so I could place each half on a card.

  What do you think of this color combination?  I like to find unique combinations when I play with Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous variety of colors.  

  The Many Layered Blossoms dies includes two large dies and several smaller flowers.  The two large dies include both a finely cut and a thicker blossom die for effortless layering.  I cut out once of each; both from Whisper White card stock. 

  
  

  The Highland Heather layer is textured with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  It's very subtle and gives a delicate textile pattern. 

  

  The greeting die-cut banner is from the Tasteful Labels dies; stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

• Forever Fern video; an easy trio of gorgeous cards

  June 12, 2020

  ---

  I can't stop playing with the Forever Fern stamp set!  It's so easy to make beautiful cards with and with some of my favorite 'go to' color combos.

  

  

  If you like this set of cards check out another stunning set here; it has a kit to go option while supplies last! And a project tutorial available here. 

  I made these cards and recorded it on video so you could see how fast they can be.  There are three different card layouts all using the same three colors.  Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and Bermuda Bay inks with these same card stock colors plus Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.  

  

  The White greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.  I hand cut the larger one. 

  Measurements for this card:

  • Granny Apple Green 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
  • Gorgeous  Grape  3 3/4" X 5"
  • Whisper White 3 pieces at 3 1/2" X 1 1/2"

  

  I used a masking & sponging technique here and added a die-cut from the Flourishing Fern dies too.

  Measurements:

  • Coastal Cabana card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  • Gorgeous Grape 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

  

  A simple card base of Gorgeous Grape 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and White at 5 1/4" X 4".  Did you catch that I sponged the corner of the left one?  Which do you prefer?

• Flowers for Every Season

  June 11, 2020

  ---

  The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

  I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

  

  This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

  I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

  Measurements:

  • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
    CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
    CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
    Greeting banner/punch

  

  Join me here on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT for Stamp with Me FB Lives and you'll get a ton of ideas and maybe even make a nice group of cards right along with me.
