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.
I want to apologize if you were looking for a post yesterday. I have been on vacation and though (Haha) that I was scheduled through yesterday. Well , you know how that goes…..I was wrong. But I am back now and with a special card.
Today is our 38th Wedding Anniversary! It really does not seem possible. But here we are. So I made a cute card for my hubby. We are not into gifts anymore and usually go for humor.
Love You To Pieces, 147392
It is more “cute” than anything, but fits us perfectly. On a side note: How do you lose a complete set of dies? I know I purchased this as the bundle, but the dies are not to be found!! A nice tip though is that it is really easy to fussy cut these puzzle pieces. Although it helps if you do not wait until the very last minute and then realize you cannot find the dies!
I kept the card very plain, only two base colors and then the bit of coloring on the heart shape. I love Night Of Navy with almost anything. This time I have paired it with Gray Granite. A great new gray.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I appreciate it more than you know. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page.
I have used one of the stamp sets from the Holiday Catalog that is not necessarily a holiday set. That sounds confusing! The set is the First Frost Stamp set. It has beautiful floral and sentiment stamps. It also pairs wonderfully and expectedly with the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper. The paper is shimmery and just gorgeous.
Frosted Floral , 148420
I have an odd, odder than normal, layout and a mixture of colors. All of the colors came from this designer series paper. I love the thistle on here. It reminds me of Scotland. And I unintentionally made a Scottish cross with the glimmer paper. I really did not plan that. I was just trying to add some glimmer but not be just a straight piece and to ground the sentiment.
The colors are all from the DSP. To mimic the thistle on the paper, I colored the stamp with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker and then used the Blackberry Bliss one to go over the end of the bud and the little side pieces.
Thank you for visiting today! I appreciate it and hope you will return. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I have another Christmas card today. This one is a square card and clean / simple type. I paired the Timeless Tidings with Many Blessings.
Timeless Tidings, 148936
I can envision this card made even smaller and used as a gift card or a RAK card. For this one I used Thick Whisper White as the base and then just layered a piece from Under The Mistletoe DSP.
The stamped wreath image is from Many Blessings. It is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink and colored with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink as well. It s punched with the Tailored Tag Punch. The only extra step was rounding the corners of the wreath layer with the Detailed Trio Punch.
As I said, this is just a quick and easy card. I appreciate you visiting today and hope you will return. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.
