Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop: November - Christmas Card Preview



Thank you so much for joining us for the November Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad Blog Hop! This month our projects focus on Christmas. While we have yet to give thanks this month, some of us are already thinking about sending Christmas cards, what kind of packaging to present gifts in and how we want ...to deck our halls. On this month’s blog hop we are showcasing many of the Stampin’ Up! products that are available in the Holiday Catalog. You will see everything from cards to gift tags to 3-D décor and gift packaging. We hope you enjoy seeing how we use the products to create our projects and feel inspired to come up with some great projects of your own.

Remember you can order all of the products showcased from your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

You should have just left stop number 6 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop – Jamie H. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

 

I love the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper to create this fun box and I'm so excited to show you what is inside!!

 

I created this box using the Envelope Punch Board.  Instructions can be found here.

 

 

I used the Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set to create 4 cards to put inside the box and the Belly Band for the box.

 

 

This stamp is so easy to use to make Quick & Easy Cards!  I love it!

 

 

The cursive sentiments are my favorite!!

 

 

I added in Rhinestone Jewels to give the cards a little depth and bling!

 

 

I used these colors of ink: Night of Navy, Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana and Smokey Slate.

 

 

I also used the Envelope Liner Framelits Dies to create very cute inserts for my Whisper White Envelopes!

 

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!  Don't forget to continue on along the hop to see what all of our other hoppers created!  You won't be disappointed...PROMISE!

Hiding In My Craft Room #123: Super Scraps Saturday

Hello There!  Welcome to another Super Scraps Saturday with HIMCR!  We are on challenge #123 and this week we are sponsored by Scrapbook Stamp Society. 

 

Play along with us this week and link up on the HIMCR blog and you could win 3 digital images of your choice!  Go check their images out.  They are SO CUTE!

 

 

My Pool Party and Strawberry Slush cardstock came from my scrap box.  You have got to love big scraps!

 

I had so much fun coloring my little girl with her reindeer!  I added in a few stamped snowflakes with pearls in the center to finish off the card. 

 

I hope you enjoy my card today.  Dont' forget to head on over to the HIMCR blog to see what the other Design Team Members came up with this week and stop by the Scrapbook Stamp Society's page to check out their other digital images!

SSINKspiration: Quick & Easy Card

Sorry I've been a little scarce this week.  Sometimes it's good to sit back and take a little break!

 

But I just had to join in with the SSINKspiration Design Team today to post a Quick & Easy card!

 

My Digital Studio is such a great way to make a Quick & Easy card.  I used the Let's Be Jolly Frameable.  It was made to put in a frame to decorate the house around the holidays.  BUT...I shrunk it down with the magic of MDS and used it on a card front. 

 

 

This card was SO quick and easy!  I printed the Let's Be Jolly Frameable on Whisper White cardstock, cut it to size, created a mat of Cherry Cobbler and glued it to the Old Olive card base.

 

Then I added a little Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon to give the card some dimension!

 

Make sure you all stop by the SSINKspiration blog today to check out the other Quick & Easy cards that our Design Team created!  You won't want to miss them!

 

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Embellishment: Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon

Adhesive: Snail

Other: MDS download - Let's Be Jolly Frameable

My Paper Pumpkin: October Kit

When I got the October My Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail, I didn't really dig it.  Here is what it's supposed to look like...

 

But I tried to think of other things to make with the kit elements.

 

 

So far I have one card that I created...

 

  

I used the Beautiful Butterlies Bigz Die to cut a butterfly out of the woodgrain chipboard!

 

 

This chipboard is thick and I wasn't sure that it would fit through the Big Shot but it was SO EASY to roll through!  The Big Shot is amazing!!

 

Hopefully I will have more samples for you to see soon!  Thanks for stopping by today!
