Country Love

I am going to attempt to share only Fall and Thanksgiving cards this week.  Christmas is almost upon us and I don’t want to skip over Thanksgiving.  Although, I believe most of us have done that already.

 

 

I am thrilled with how this card came together.  My “Go To” Fall designer series paper has been the Come To Gather DSP.  I love every single piece in the package.  And both sides of each piece!  This is a print that I do not believe I have used previously.

The stamp set is the Country Home from the Annual Catalog.  I was thrilled that it carried over and it pairs so well with the Gathering Leaves in the Holiday catalog.  Everything except the “LOVE” is from the Country Home stamp set.  I stamped and then used a variety of Stampin’ Blends to color the arrangement.

The beautiful LOVE is from the So Many Stars stamp set.  There is a LOVE in the Country Home set, but this one had previously caught my eye.  I really adore the font of this one.

Thank you for dropping by today.  I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.

Scalloped Thank You

I adore the Scallop Notecards from Stampin’ Up!  They are right up there with the Whisper White Notecards for my quick and easy Thank You cards.  I needed one yesterday and was able to make a really cute one in no time.

 

 

Yes, I am still using the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  It was on my desk and I only needed a strip.  I backed the DSP with a piece of Early Espresso card stock.  The sentiment is from the Goof Morning Magnolia stamp set.  The flower is from that set as well.  I stamped the flower in Smoky Slate Ink that was “stamped Off” once.

This Petal Pink notecard plays perfectly with the Magnolia Lane DSP.  This would be a great little gift of several Thank You cards that are just so darn cute.

Thanks for coming by today.  I hope you will return on Monday.

Make A Wish

I have backed off of holiday cards for the day and gone with the always needed Happy Birthday.  I supposed food is still on my mind however.  In choosing a stamp set, I went with the Birthday Goodness set.  Yes, that is the donuts and macarons!!

 

 

I paired Rococo Rose and Pretty Peacock for this project.  I love how they look together.  The designer series paper is from the Woven Threads DSP.  I colored the donuts to match the Rococo Rose color and the cake plate matches the Pretty Peacock paper.

I like to move my layers around a bit for a different look.  Instead of placing this card in regular 5 1/2″ tall with a fairly centered focal point, I turned it sideways and placed the focal off to one side.  It doesn’t take much of a change to get a totally different look.

Thank you for visiting today.  Please come back tomorrow for another new project!

Laser Cut Gratitude

I have used the Bird Ballad Laser-cut cards previously.  They come in a gorgeous metal tin, which is a gift in itself.  I received one of the tin of cards at Brian King’s Fall event over the weekend and wanted to share the beautiful cards once again.

Brian had a Magnolia theme going at his event, and it rubbed off on me.  That is what I used as well.

 

Bird Ballad, Laser cut cards, laser cut tin, Jackie Beers, Stampin' Up!

 

I think these cards are so pretty on their own.  I added a piece of the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper behind the laser cutting.  The DSP is cut to 4 1/8 X 5 3/8 and has a rolled up glue dot in each corner to secure it.  The center decoration has Stampin’ Dimensionals behind it and they secure the DSP as well.

The center layer is a 2″ circle of the Magnolia Lane DSP that is layered on a Starburst punched piece of Petal Pink card stock.  The sentiment is from #Elfie and is punched with the 1″ circle punch.  It is backed by a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock punched with the 1 1/8″ scallop circle punch.

The couple of Thank you’s are from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.  They are punched using the Classic Label punch .  To get the flagged tip, I re inserted the end into the edge of the punch and punched again.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you are having a great day.

Simply Creative Gift Packaging

I am continuing with projects from the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event this past weekend.  I had two friends, one is a downline of mine, coming in from Florida for the event.  As Atlanta weather goes we were having very chilly weather, especially on Thursday when they were arriving.  I found a little humorous gift for them and made a package for them.

 

 

I realize I have once again used the snowman products, but in this instance it was very appropriate.  Do you see the designer series paper theme?  It is mittens.  And that is what is wrapped in the tissue paper.  I found the little “one size fits most” pull on gloves.  I love these because I have really short fingers and they fit my fingers! LOL!!!  The added bonus is they are very inexpensive and great as little add on gifts.  Or in my case because I tend to loose at least one of them.

I used the 6 X 8 Cello Bags for the gloves.  The topper is made by using a 6 X 4 piece of Poppy Parade Card Stock and added a 5 3/4 X 1 2/3 piece of Coastal Cabana to the front and back.  That is topped by a piece of 5 1/2 X 1 1/2 piece of the Let It Snow Designer Series Paper.  It is also on the front and back.  I folded this over the top of the bag and secured it with two staples, both placed towards the center.  I used the old SU stapler that is retired.  But any small craft or desk stapler would work fine.

For the tag, I used a 2 X 5 strip of Whisper White card stock.  It is punched at the bottom with the Banner Triple Punch and at the top with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.  I stamped a scene from the Snowman Season stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  It is highlighted with the Stampin’ Blends.  The sentiment is one of my go to themes.  It is from #Elfie stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I will have a few more different projects for you in the next couple of days.
