Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop!

 

Welcome to the December GSF Blog Hop!

Our theme for this month is the Regals Color Collection. If you don't already know Stampin' Up!'s main line of colors are sorted into smaller collections for easy coordination: Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles and Basics. Each of these collections include The Classic Stampin' Pads & Ink Refills, Cardstock & Stampin' Blends. 

Today I have used Real Red, Garden Green & Shaded Spruce.   I have made some Gift Tags with the Tailor Made Tags and the Time of Giving Bundle using these colors.

The Giving Gifts Dies include 4 dies that can be used with the Tailor Made Tags.

This 1st set of tags, is the Santa & Reindeers

This is a sample of the Snowflake Die. Here you can see how the Giving Gifts Dies nestle inside of the Tailor Made Tags.

This last set of tags are smaller than the others. But that makes them perfect for the little gifts that you wrap up for Christmas.

All of these tags are suitable for a beginner or casual stampers.

I am using these in my last class before Christmas next week. I have die cut lots of these layered tags and my class can choose how they want them to go together.

 Now it is time to send you on to the next blog stop.

Merriest Moments Christmas Card

 

I was a little late to the party where the Merriest Moments Bundle of products was concerned. But, all I can say is WOW! The Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing folder & the dies included with it are just amazing. I used the Soft Succulent In Color Shimmer Vellum for this card. It really makes the Poinsettia & Holly Leaves stand out. But first I need to tell you the sequence. I cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". This will be the Card Front. Emboss this and adhere it to the Basic White Thick Card Base. Cut a piece of Shimmer Vellum and emboss this too. Then use the detailed die to cut the embossed piece out. Adhere this to the embossed card front with liquid glue in the sentiment rectangle area only. Stamp your sentiment with Cherry Cobbler Ink onto another Basic White piece and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle. Keeping the sentiment to the right. Adhere this to the sentiment area with Liquid glue. Stamp the flowers with Cherry Cobbler and the Holly with Evening Evergreen & Soft Succulent. Adhere the assembled flower to the lower Left Corner of the sentiment area with Dimensionals. I colored the Rhinestone Basic Jewels with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker. I used the same colors to stamp the inside layer and the envelope.

There is another Hybrid Embossing Folder Bundle in the Annual Catalog. I am definitely going to purchase that bundle now too, I am addicted.

Today, December 1st, 2021- January 3rd, 2022 is your last chance to purchase retiring products from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog. You can click on the graphic above to access the retirement sale items. What were your favorites? I have so many favorites this time that I can't pick just One!

Third Thursdays Blog Hop - Stamper's Choice

 Welcome to the November 3rd Thursdays Blog Hop!

Our theme for this month is Stamper's Choice. I have chosen to share another project made with the In The Moment Stamp Set. This set was a gift given to me at Stampin' Up!s OnStage@Home virtual event. So that makes it another sneak peek from the new Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog coming in January. Demonstrators will be able to pre-buy from this catalog with a 20%-25% discount in December. During the rest of November there is a Start With Savings offer to join Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator. There is no pressure to sell. You can just enjoy the savings and be a hobby demonstrator. The starter kit of your choice is $75 (normally $99) and you get to choose $125 in product, shipped FREE.

Lets not forget about the Seasonal Sale! Today is the last day to save on Cardstock, Ink and Dies. See the add below.

I took this opportunity to purchase some of the Stand Alone Dies (Give It A Whirl dies, Picture This Dies & Stitched Greenery Die) and I replaced all of the cardstock I used when creating my craft show projects.

Well that was a lot of information I just gave you (so much going on right now). I think it is time to see what Stampin' inspiration is waiting for you on your next hop.

Blessings Of Home Sneak Peek For The #TGIF342 Sketch Challenge & A 3-Day Seasonal Sale

 

Right now I don't have a lot of time for challenges, but, when I saw this sketch on the #TGIF342 Sketch Challenge Blog, I had to play with it. I was busy looking through my dies for a background for this

gorgeous floral image from the Blessings of Home Bundle (Available January 1st 2022). I sure wish the sparkle from the Wink Of Stella Brush I used to color this image on Shimmery White Cardstock showed up in my photo. If you haven't tried this technique you really need to. The colors I used are Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Fresh Freesia, Cinnamon Cider & Daffodil Delight. The Heart & Home Designer Series Paper as well as the Denim 3/8" Ribbon will also be available in the new Jan-Jun 2022 Mini Catalog. You can see the first card that I made with this set HERE.

Stamping INKspirations November 2021 Blog Hop - Thankful For You

 

Welcome to the November Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop!

Our theme this month is Thankful For You. If you have come from Leonie's wonderful post or if you are starting the Blog Hop from my site I hope you will enjoy my take on our theme for this month.

This week we celebrate with Stampin' Up!s OnStageatHome. 3 days of wonderful inspiration and celebrating personal milestones. As an attendee I was able to order a new collection of products from the upcoming Jan-Jun Mini Catalog. The Blessings of Home Stamp Set along with coordinating Flowers of Home Dies, the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Denim 3/8" Ribbon have all been used to create this Thank You card (along with a couple of other products in my stash).

It was so much fun coloring this large floral image with my Stampin' Blends Markers. I am going to try this with our Fluid Watercolor Paper next time and use my Water Painters. I used Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight to color the flowers and Soft Succulent to color all of the leaves. Because the Floral image is pretty busy I matted it onto one of the Scalloped Contour Die cuts. Which I embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder before I did the die cut (I know this method reduces the texture on the embossing a bit, but I like my die cuts crisp). The card base is Basic White Thick and the card front is from the Heart & Home DSP. The Denim Ribbon is so soft it was easy to tie my bow. I couldn't resist adding one of the little Bumblebee Trinkets to finish this project.

Because this project is basically a sneak peek from the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog I don't have my normal Product list for you to order from, as they won't be available for purchase until January.

Now I am going to send you on your way to the next Thankful For You inspiration.
