It is so hard to think of Winter and Christmas here in the South when the temperature still acts like it is July! Yikes, I am ready for a little cooler weather. Maybe my card for today will give you a little hint of cooler weather with some Winter Cheer!
Spirited Snowman, 148072
This cute little person looks so happy and cool that I just had to have this stamp set. You can never go wrong with snowmen, or snowwomen, right? They are great for all of the winter, not just for Christmas. At least that is what I told myself! LOL!! Like I need a reason to buy a stamp set.
This is really a quick card. I only colored the snowman’s accessories plus just a touch of the Light Pool Party around the edges of his body to give the illusion of a blueish ice. The designer paper is the Festive Farmhouse DSP. I also added some of the Silver Thread for a touch of texture behind the snowman.
I have all of the measurements and the supplies I used listed as you go down the post. (Oops: I did not list the Cherry Cobbler Ink in the supply list!)
I appreciate you visiting and love to read your comments. Thank you for stopping by today.
I am not the big Halloween person I was in my younger days, but I am a huge fan of cats!! And I love Black Cats. So I have made a cutesy Halloween card featuring a Black Cat and his unexpected little friend.
Cauldron Bubble, 147710
Aren’t these little guys just precious? I based my colors from the Call Me Clover green eyes of the cat. Then I colored his little froggy friend with both shades of the Call Me Clover Stampin’ Blends. Of course I now had to use the green instead of yellow on the hat. But that’s OK. We get to use whatever color we want to use!! LOL!!
I do apologize for the shadows of the ribbon on the card. They did not show up as much until I put the photo into the post. But then you know I am not an expert on the photography!!
There are two things I did a little differently on this card. I masked the hat so that the broom in laying underneath it. I did this by stamping on a post it note (the sticky section beneath the rim of the hat) and cutting it out just inside the lines. The second is that I fussy cut the frog and raised him up with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. I especially love that he is looking towards his friend Mr. Cat.
Just to add a little sparkle, I cut three small sections of the Glitter Organdy Ribbon. I wrapped them around a wooden skewer that is one of my pointy tools in my craft space. It gave the ribbon just a little shape.
MEASUREMENTS:
5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded in half
Basic Black is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
DSP is 5 X 3 3/4
Basic Black is 2 3/8 X 3 3/8
Whisper White is 2 1/4 X 3 1/4
Thank you once again for visiting my blog today! I hope you enjoyed my whimsical Halloween card. I have listed all of the supplies I used at the bottom of the post.
Today I have used a sweet stamp set that you may have overlooked in the Holiday Catalog. It is the Timeless Tidings set from page 33. It can be purchased alone, but it pairs with the Timeless Tidings Project Kit. I chose to use it alone for this card.
Timeless Tidings, 148936
This would be a great card to mass produce. Especially using the Stamparatus. The sentiment and the holly are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The tree is inked in Mossy Meadow and stamped off first. I colored the holly using the Stampin’ Blends in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive.
The Designer Series Paper is from the Festive Farmhouse package and the Thicker Baker’s Twine is the Festive Farmhouse Twine from that suite of products. It is a great value as you get Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Very Vanilla twine in a set.
MEASUREMENTS:
8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored and folded in half
Whisper White 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
DSP 4 X 5 1/4
Cherry Cobbler 2 5/8 X 4 1/8
Whisper White 2 1/2 X 4
Thank you for visiting today! I very much appreciate you checking my posts and I love to read your comments. Please stop back tomorrow for another new card. As always, the products I used are listed at the bottom of the post.
For today’s card, I am still using scraps of Designer Series Paper. And it is the Frosted Floral DSP again. I just cannot let go of these little pieces. Today I have used them as the focal point by making little banners. Here is the card.
First Frost, 149943
Do you love this Designer paper as much as I do? Wow!! Well now I hope you will add this fabulous stamp set/bundle to that list. It is the First Frost Bundle and headliner of the suite that includes the above mentioned fabulous DSP! I have asked myself why this set is in the Holiday Catalog. At least to me, it is more a year round stamp set. All you have to do is change the colors. And the matching dies, of which there are 11, have the different sprigs, the roses and some frames. I don’t know why it is in this catalog, but I am thrilled that it is!! I love it.
This stamp set is one of the special stamps Stampin’ Up! has created that have this built in depth to them. You get the different texture/softness without two or three step stamping. A definite win!
The background sprigs are inked with Old Olive and stamped off before stamping on the white. I think they sort of mimic the sprigs on the DSP.
The sentiment is precious and is from the P.S. You’re The Best stamp set in the annual catalog. I hope you will take a look at that set. By using this little sentiment, the card could then have a multitude of different sentiments on the inside. This would be a great one to make using your scraps of DSP to just have on hand. Then you can add the appropriate sentiment needed on the inside.
Thank you for visiting today! I greatly appreciate it. All of the supplies used are listed at the bottom of the page.
I have a quick and easy Thank You card for today. I have used the Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes. They are The Best for quick, easy, and clean cards. Plus they are a great value for your money! I have added a small piece of the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper and it is finished.
Frosted Floral DSP, 147800
And this is not even the prettiest side of that piece of DSP!! It is still gorgeous, and I love all of the sheets in this pack of paper. I wanted a simple and clean card though. So I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock a 1/4″ smaller than the card. I then layered the DSP strip, added the piece of ribbon, and the sentiment. It was finished very quickly! This would make a great little Hostess type gift. Take several of these and wrap a pretty piece of ribbon around them.
The sentiment is from the Million Dollar set, Many Blessings. As I have said before, that set is a keeper!! I stamped the sentiment in Pear Pizzaz and punched it out using the Darling Label Punch. It is the Punch Box in the current Annual Catalog. Another fabulous punch from Stampin’ Up!’s collection.
I apologize for the little smudge on the picture. I am not sure where that is from. I use my phone for photos and cannot imagine how you would get a smudge on there??? Any thoughts???
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate your time. All of the supplies, limited as they are, are listed at the bottom of the post.
