Santa

I am sharing a new, for me, stamp set with you today.  It is also the last of my Stamp Club swap cards.  I used the Signs of Santa Bundle, and some of the Santa’s Workshop Designer series paper.  I am in love with both now.  So be prepared for more projects with these great items.

 

Signs of Santa Bundle, 149967

 

There really is not very much stamping on here.  I let the little elves on the DSP be the main character.  Although Santa is pretty special!  I don’t know if you can see the shading on his beard and the list.  I copied that from the DSP that has this image as I was coloring him with the Stampin’ Blends.  How Cool is that???

In case you have not seen this bundle from other blogs, the dies in the set will cut out several different pieces of the DSP.  I love that Stampin’ Up! has created the items that way.  It is so easy.  But since I needed a dozen of the Santa, I had to stamp, color and die cut myself.  They were great fun though.  I love Santa and have collected Santa ornaments, etc for more most of my adult life.

My only fail on this card is the ribbon.  I needed a piece across the two layers and did not have current Garden Green ribbon.  This one is retired.  Although I am sure you probably have some leftover ribbons of your own!  We do not want to waste the gorgeous ribbons.

Thank you for visiting today.  I will have updates from the Stampin’ Up! 30th Anniversary Celebration for you tomorrow.  So stay tuned on my Facebook Blueline page.

Thankful Heart for #GDP163

 

Today is another of my Stamp Club Fall Swap cards.  It also fits perfectly with the challenge from Global Design Project #163.  That is to celebrate Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary/Birthday.  And to share what we all love about Stampin’ Up!.  For me, Stampin’ Up! is the definition of Friends and Sharing.  I have made some fabulous and longtime friends through Stampin’ Up!.  I cherish them all and am so thankful for what brought us together.  So my card today fits perfectly on that idea of a Grateful Heart.

 

Falling For Leaves, 147680

 

I shared this type card once before on a Blog Hop.  It is the Double Z Fold Step card.  It sounds complicated but is super easy to make.  I love easy that packs a WOW.

This card layout does require designer series paper.  On this one, I mixed some DSP.  My favorite part is the sentiment though.  I LOVE that saying, as well as the mixture of fonts.  I am crazy for a mix of fonts.

Here is a side view of the Double Z.

Wishing

I am sharing with you in the next couple of days cards that I made for my Stamp Club’s Fall Swap.  Then it is off to Orlando for the Stampin’ Up! 30th Anniversary!  I am so excited.  If I read the information correctly, we can share new products this time.  Usually we cannot.  So be sure and follow me on Facebook for the updates.  I may not be able to do new posts but I know I will be able to add to the Blueline Facebook page.

Now, back to the cards.  The first is from my favorite set, Wishing You Well.  I have shared a similar card before I believe.  But this is definitely a keeper in the layout department.  When making multiples this card is awesome.

 

Wishing You Well, 147864

I purposely did not put a sentiment on the front.  That is the great thing about this stamp set.  You do not need a sentiment to ground it.  The additional bonus is that you can make multiples and put the appropriate sentiment on the inside as you need a card to send.  A Win / Win situation!!

I have listed all of the information on today’s card below, as well as the supply list.  Thank you for stopping in today.  And be sure to like my Facebook page for updates from Orlando beginning on Thursday.

NOTE:   There is a new feature being tested in the Online Store.  It is “Shop the Project”.  There are pictures of a card, etc, and you can click on it and see all of the supplies used.  If you need any of them, you simply click on that item and it goes into your shopping cart.  How cool is that???  Hopefully it will be utilized and become an added bonus to the website.

COLOR COMBINATION:

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Base layer of Tranquil Tide is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored and folded in half
  • Whisper White layer is 4 X 5 1/4
  • DSP layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
  • Focal layer of Whisper White is 2 3/4 X 3 3/4

As usual, I am a day late on getting out information!  But this is definitely one of the better late than never scenarios.  These new products are fabulous!!!  I have included the products as well as some Stampin’ Up! design team samples using them.  So sit back and drool over these beautiful stamps and dies.

 

If you fall in love with these items, please remember that they are While Supplies Last!!!

 

Happiness Surrounds, 149744

 

I adore these sentiments.  And this is a year round stamp set I do believe.

 

Snow Is Glistening, 149742

 

I do love these stamps, but the sentiments and fonts are just fabulous!!

 

Snowfall Thinlits, 149692

 

What is better than dies for a stamp set?  Well, how about one set of dies that fits TWO stamp sets!!!!!

 

Snowflake Trinkets, 149620

 

These are just precious!  They would be so cute on a small package, gift tags, cards, as earrings!

 

White Velvet Paper, 149619

 

This is just perfect for the snow theme.  So now you have the complete line up!  I cannot wait until my order arrives.  Since I was on my vacation for two weeks, I waited until I was home to place my order.  So stay tuned for my samples.

In the meantime, here are the Stampin’ Up! samples I mentioned at the top of the post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for visiting today!  I hope you liked this view of the new products.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  And I hope you will return on Monday for a new project.

Country Home for #GDP 162

I love the Global Design Project challenge and have played along with one of the sketch challenges for today’s card.  It is a great way to get a card idea.  I love looking at sketches and then figuring out which stamp set will work.

Here is today’s card.

 

Country Home, 147678

 

And here is the GDP sketch:

 

 

I have used this Country Home stamp set so many times.  And I know I will continue to use it.  I love the “country / rustic” theme that these stamps seem to showcase.  Besides, it is perfect for this Fall time of year.

Thank you very much for stopping by today.  I greatly appreciate your checking out my projects.  I have included all of the supplies at the bottom of the post.

Happy Halloween

I hope you have time for one more Halloween card idea.   This one is not scary and could actually be used for Thanksgiving and Fall as well as Halloween.  I used the Seasonal Chums stamp set and Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies.  Unfortunately they are not a bundle any longer, but I am thrilled that they carried over.

 

Seasonal Chums and Seasonal Tags Framelits

 

Depending on the size of your viewing device, you may not be able to easily read the sentiment.  I LOVE this one.  It says Being Your Friend Is A Real Treat!  I just love that!  I believe I could get by with using that year round on little gift boxes/3D items.

I mentioned in the beginning that you could use this for other than Halloween.  Just change the colors a bit and do three of the back side of the pumpkin instead of the center carved pumpkin.  I used these as place card holders previously.  I did the same panel size and used a strip with the name raised up from the pumpkins.  Quick and easy as always!

If you are not familiar with this stamp set, it is intended as little gift tags.  The front and back of the pumpkin are attached at the top with a tiny strip and have an included ribbon hole.  All I did was use my paper snips to cut around the top and cut away that joining piece.  (This set includes a reindeer and a snowman, as well as that adorable sentiment)

Thank you for visiting today!  I very much appreciate it.  I promise I will show a few of my favorite vacation in France pictures soon.  All of the supplies are listed at the bottom the page.  I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween !!
