Peaceful Deer -- It's The Best Time Of Year

11/10/2021

Hi There!

I finished up my Annual Christmas Card classes this past weekend and it was so wonderful to see everyone!  I've been sharing the cards with you and you can see four of the other cards for the class by clicking here, here, here, and here.  Participants in the classes made 3 cards each of 5 different designs.  The card you see below is the final card design.  I've made a couple of other cards using the Peaceful Deer Bundle using very similar designs.  You can see those cards here and here.

PeacefulDeer_BestTimeOfTheYear

This card begins with a panel of Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper matted with a slightly larger panel of Real Red cardstock.  The panels were adhered at the center of the Garden Green card front.  A strip of Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper was matted with a slightly wider strip of Real Red cardstock (the right and left ends of the two strips of paper are flush).  The strips were adhered across the Designer Series Paper panel with the bottom edge of the Real Red cardstock strip 1" above the bottom edge of the Designer Series Paper panel and the right and left edges of the narrow strips flush with the right and left edges of the Designer Series Paper panel.

A piece of Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper was die cut with the 2-5/8" circle die, from the Layering Circles dies, and matted with a piece of Basic Black cardstock die cut with the 2-7/8" scallop circle die, also from the Layering Circles dies.  The die cut circles were adhered over the right side of the horizontal strips using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The right edge of the scallop circle is 1/8" from the right edge of the Designer Series Paper panel and the bottom edge of the scallop circle is 1/2" above the bottom edge of the Designer Series Paper panel.

The "It's The Best Time Of Year" greeting was stamped on a narrow strip of Basic White cardstock using Garden Green ink.  The greeting was matted with a slightly larger piece of Garden Green cardstock and adhered at the bottom of the die cut circles with the right end of the greeting extending beyond the edge of the circles and flush with the right edge of the Designer Series Paper panel.

The "Oh What Fun" deer image was stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The deer was punched with the Deer Builder punch and adhered to the die cut circles using Stampin' Dimensionals (behind the body of the deer) and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (behind the head and neck of the deer).

The 1/4" and 3/4" star dies from the Stitched Stars dies were used to die cut stars (one large and two small) from the Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The stars were adhered to the Designer Series Paper panel using Mini Glue Dots.

PeacefulDeer_BestTimeOfTheYear_Inside

The "Wishing You A Wonderful Year And Friendships Dear" sentiment was stamped at the upper center of a Basic White panel using Garden Green ink.  A narrow strip of Basic Black cardstock was adhered behind the top edge of a strip of Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper.  The paper was adhered along the bottom edge of the panel.  The panel was adhered at the center of the inside sentiment area of the card base.

PeacefulDeer_BestTimeOfTheYear_Envelope

The deer image was stamped at the center of the envelope flap of the Medium Basic White Envelope using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  

I realize that the Designer Series Papers that I used for this card were only available during Sale-A-Bration; however, many of you still have the paper.  For those of you who don't have the paper, don't despair.  The simple design of this card lends itself well to a variety of Christmas Designer Series Papers.  Just let the colors in the background panel of paper help you determine the colors you will use to frame the deer in the circle, the color of the deer, and the cardstock colors.  That's the great thing about Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers -- all the colors coordinate!

Merry Snowflakes -- It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

11/03/2021

Hello!

Here's another card designed for my Annual Christmas Card classes.  I'll be finishing up the classes this weekend and it's been so fun to see everyone and to spend time creating!  You can see three of the other cards for the class by clicking here, here, and here.

We don't get cold enough for snow in this part of Florida but I have a few customers in my Christmas Card Classes who have come to expect at least one Christmas card that features snowflakes as they grew up in areas where snow was a major factor in their Winter memories.  The colors for this card come from the colors in the layers of ice I saw in the glaciers in Alaska.  

MerrySnowflakes_ItsTheMostWonderfulTime

This card begins with a card base of Coastal Cabana with the card front embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.  A panel of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the snowflake 3D embossing folder from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.  Narrow strips of Gold Foil Sheets were adhered along the top and bottom edges of the embossed snowflake panel with the right and left edges of the strips flush with the right and left edges of the embossed snowflake panel.  The snowflake panel was adhered at the center of a slightly larger panel of Bermuda Bay cardstock with the right and left edges of the snowflake panel flush with the right and left edges of the Bermuda Bay panel.  The panels were then adhered to the card front with the right and left edges of the panels flush with the right and left edges of the card front, the top edge of the Bermuda Bay panel 5/16" below the top edge of the card front, and the bottom edge of the Bermuda Bay panel 7/16" above the bottom edge of the card front.

The "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" greeting, from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set, was stamped on a piece of Pool Party cardstock using Bermuda Bay ink.  The 1-3/16" x 2-3/4" tag, from the Tailor Made Tags dies, was used to die cut the greeting with the hole for the ribbon positioned to the left of the greeting.  Gold Shimmer Ribbon was threaded through the ribbon hole and tied into place with a piece of White Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.  The tag was adhered near the lower right corner of the snowflake embossed panel using Stampin' Dimensionals with the right end of the tag 1/4" from the right side of the card front and the bottom edge of the tag 1" above the bottom edge of the card front.

The three snowflakes from the Merry Snowflakes stamp set were stamped on Basic White cardstock:  the largest snowflake with Pool Party ink, the medium sized snowflake with Coastal Cabana ink, and the smallest snowflake with Bermuda Bay ink.  The snowflakes were die cut using the corresponding dies from the Stitched Snowflakes dies and adhered to the embossed snowflake panel using Stampin' Dimensionals:  the largest snowflake at the upper left corner, the medium snowflake just above the right end of the greeting tag, and the small snowflake just to the left of the ribbon end of the tag.

MerrySnowflakes_ItsTheMostWonderfulTime_Inside

The Stitched Snowflakes dies includes a really awesome embossing die that I used on a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock.  A narrow strip of Pool Party cardstock was adhered behind the top edge of the Bermuda Bay strip and the strips were adhered along the bottom edge of a Basic White panel.  The "Snowflake Wishes for a Merry Christmas" sentiment, from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set, was stamped at the upper center of the panel using Bermuda Bay ink.  The panel was adhered at the center of the inside sentiment area of the card base.

MerrySnowflakes_ItsTheMostWonderfulTime_Envelope

The snowflake 3D embossing folder was used to emboss the envelope flap of the Medium Basic White Envelope.  (I'm sorry for the funky background colors, but it was the only way I could get the embossing to show up...)

I'll be back soon with the final card from my Christmas Card classes.

Whimsical Trees -- Let Your Heart Be Light

10/27/2021

Hello!

It's been a month since I last posted and I'm sorry I haven't been able to post but it has all been for a good cause.  The last two months I've been cutting paper, die cutting, embossing, and packing card kits for my annual Christmas card classes.  I had the first two classes this past weekend and I'm thrilled to report that things went really well.  The folks who attended made 15 cards -- 3 cards each of 5 different designs.  Two of the designs have already been featured in previous blog posts and you can see them by clicking here and here.  I'll be sharing the remaining designs with you in the next week or so.

The concensus from the first two classes is that this card is the fan favorite.  When you have a set of papers like the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper, you don't need to do much to enhance the beautiful images with their silver accents.  So, for this card, I let the paper do the talking.

WhimsicalTrees1_LetYourHeartBeLight

This card begins with a panel of Peaceful Prints Specialty Designer Series Paper matted with a slightly larger panel of Basic Gray cardstock.  The panels were adhered to the Smoky Slate card front. 

A piece of Shimmery White cardstock was die cut using the 2-5/8" circle die, from the Layering Circles dies.  The two solid tree with long trunks dies, from the Christmas Trees dies were used to die cut 3 pieces of foil from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack:  the thin trees for the darker shades of foil and the wider tree for the lightest shade of foil.  The trees were adhered to the die cut circle using Mini Glue Dots and the trunks of the trees that overhang the bottom edge of the circle were trimmed with Paper Snips.  The circle was adhered to the Designer Series Paper panel with the bottom edge of the circle 7/8" above the bottom edge of the Designer Series Paper and the right edge of the circle flush with the right edge of the Designer Series Paper.

The "Let Your Heart Be Light" greeting, from the Whimsical Trees stamp set, was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The greeting was adhered to a Basic Gray banner created with the Banners Pick A Punch with the right edges of the greeting and banner flush and the banner tails pointing to the left.  The banner was adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals with the right edge of the banner flush with the right edge of the Designer Series Paper and the bottom edge of the banner 7/8" above the bottom edge of the Designer Series Paper.

Three Rhinestone Basic Jewels were scattered among the die cut trees on the Shimmery White circle and a bow tied from the Silver cord in the Simply Elegant Trim was adhered to one of the trees using a rolled up Mini Glue Dot.

WhimsicalTrees_LetYourHeartBeLight_Inside

The "May The Love Of The Season Warm Your Home & Fill Your Heart" sentiment was stamped at the upper center of a panel of Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The tall ornamented tree was stamped at the lower left corner of the panel using Basic Gray ink and the short ornamented tree was stamped to the right of the taller tree using Smoky Slate ink.  The panel was adhered at the inside sentiment area of the card base.

WhimsicalTrees_LetYourHeartBeLight_Envelope

A piece of Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper was adhered to the envelope flap of a Medium Basic White Envelope.  Paper Snips were used to trim the excess paper away using the edge of the envelope flap as a guide.

With 30 people making 3 each of this card, I would have had to purchase quite a lot of the Designer Series Paper if I could only get 12 cards out of each pack of paper.  To solve this problem, I chose two other pieces of this beautiful paper for the card fronts -- and each person made one of each of the three different pieces of Designer Series Paper.  The only difference was the color of the mat behind the Designer Series Paper and the banner for the greeting.

WhimsicalTrees2_LetYourHeartBeLight

WhimsicalTrees3_LetYourHeartBeLight

I wish that the photographs could have picked up how the silver accents in the papers make these cards so special.  In any case, you can see that the same basic card design is used for all three cards.  Isn't it amazing how the mood of the card changes with the different paper used for the background?  

I'll be back soon with another card from the Christmas card classes.

Stamp Review Crew -- Sale-A-Bration Hop #2

09/26/2021

Banner

Hello!  Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop featuring Sale-A-Bration items.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  With only a few days left of Sale-A-Bration, the Crew wanted to share a few more ideas to help you make the most of your Sale-A-Bration selection(s).  Enjoy the hop!

DelicateDahlias_SendingHeartfeltSympathy

The Stamp Review Crew is an international group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who gather for a blog hop the first, third, and (sometimes the fifth) Mondays of the month to review a single stamp set.  However, this time we are presenting ideas using items that you can earn for FREE these last few days of Sale-A-Bration. By the time you've traveled through the hop, you are sure to find a number of innovative ways to use all the great Sale-A-Bration items that are available.  So sit back, relax, and get ready to start pinning ideas to your Pinterest board!

To see the line up of artists for today's hop, click here.  I'm the first stop on the hop; however, if you've already joined the hop and are traveling forward, you've arrived from from Heidi's blog where you were presented with an amazing project to inspire your creativity.  If you're traveling backwards through the hop, you've seen Cindy's project and are ready to CASE! (Copy And Share Everything)

I guess it might seem a bit off-putting to start a blog hop with a Sympathy card, but that's where this card led me.  I think the soft colors project a comforting and loving feel.  Of course, any greeting would be great with this card.  I think this is one of those cards that you could make a bunch and then add the greeting and inside sentiment when you were ready to send it.

This project features two Sale-A-Bration products:  Delicate Dahlias stamp set and Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper.

DelicateDahlias_SendingHeartfeltSympathy

This card begins with a panel of Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper matted with a slighly larger panel of Basic Black cardstock.  A length of Basic Black Baker's Twine, from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, was wrapped around the panels a few times and tied into a bow near the lower left side of the panels.  The bottom edge of the wrapped twine is 1-1/2" above the bottom edge of the Designer Series Paper panel and the knot of the bow is 1" from the left side of the Designer Series Paper panel.  The panels were adhered at the center of the Blushing Bride card front.

The "Sending Heartfelt Sympathy" greeting was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched with the straight edge oval from the Double Oval punch.  The greeting was adhered at the center of a Basic Black scalloped oval punched from the Double Oval punch and adhered near the upper left corner of the Designer Series Paper panel with the top and left edges of the scalloped oval 1/4" from the top and left edges of the panel.

Now it's time to add some color!  On Basic White cardstock, stamp the following and then cut out with Paper Snips:

  • Using Blushing Bride ink, stamp the detailed dahlia image
  • Using Polished Pink ink, stamp the outline dahlia image over the detailed dahlia image
  • Using Fresh Freesia ink, stamp the detailed small flower image twice
  • Using Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp the outline small flower image over the detailed flower images
  • Using Mint Macaron ink, stamp the detailed three leaf image three times
  • Using Just Jade ink, stamp the outline three leaf image over the detailed three leaf images

 Adhere the Blushing Bride/Polished Pink dahlia to the Designer Series Paper using Stampin' Dimensionals with the top edge of the flower 7/8" below the top edge of the Designer Series Paper and the right edge of the flower flush with the right edge of the Designer Series Paper.  Adhere the leaves slightly under the dahlia at the upper right corner, lower right corner, and center left of the dahlia.  Adhere the Fresh Freesia/Gorgeous Grape flowers using Stampin' Dimensionals just above the Baker's Twine bow and just below the wrapped twine in between the bow and the leaves.

DelicateDahlias_SendingHeartfeltSympathy_Inside

The detailed dahlia image was stamped three times along the edge of a Basic White panel using Blushing Bride ink:  along the top of the panel near the right corner, at the lower right corner, and along the lower half of the left side of the panel.  Note that all three of the flowers are stamped off the edge of the panel.  The outline dahlia image was stamped over the detailed dahlia images using Polished Pink ink.  The "Thinking of you with all my heart" sentiment, from the Peaceful Moments stamp set, was stamped at the upper center of the panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The Basic White panel was matted with a slightly larger panel of Basic Black cardstock and the panels adhered at the center of the inside sentiment area of the card base.

DelicateDahlias_SendingHeartfeltSympathy_Envelope

Place a piece of scrap paper between the envelope flap and the body of a Medium Basic White Envelope.  The detailed dahlia image was stamped three times on the envelope flap using Blushing Bride ink:  along the top of the flap near the right corner, at the left side, and along the lower center.  Note that all three of the flowers are stamped off the edge of the flap.  The outline dahlia image was stamped over the detailed dahlia images using Polished Pink ink. 

Card measurements and a supplies list are provided below my signature.

Bright Baubles -- Sending Joy

09/23/2021

Hello!

Sale-A-Bration ends in just a few more days on September 30th; so I wanted to share another Christmas card using a couple of Sale-A-Bration items that you can earn for FREE with a qualifying purchase:  Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper and Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  Each one of these great items requires a $50 USD merchandise purchase.

Nothing says Christmas like sparkle and shine and the Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper is just the ticket for adding bling to this Christmas card.

BrightBaubles_SendingJoy

This card begins with a panel of Peaceful Prints Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper matted with a slightly larger panel of Evening Evergreen cardstock.  The panels were adhered at the center of the Sahara Sand card front.  A strip of Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper was matted with a slightly wider strip of Real Red cardstock (with the top and bottom edges of the Designer Series Paper flush with the top and bottom edges of the cardstock) and adhered along the vertical center of the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper Panel (with the top and bottom edges of the strips flush with the top and bottom edges of the Peaceful Prints panel).

A piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock was die cut using the solid round ornament die from the Delicate Baubles dies.  Adhesive Sheets were adhered to the back of two pieces of Real Red cardstock and the "Joy" detailed ornament die was used to die cut the Real Red cardstock.  The adhesive backing was removed from one of the detailed ornament die cuts and the detailed ornament die adhered directly on top of the second detailed ornament die.  The adhesive sheet was removed from the bottom of the stacked detailed ornament dies and the dies adhered at the center of the Evening Evergreen ornament die.  The die was adhered at the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals placed on the right and left sides of the back of the ornament (so that the dimensionals rest only on the Peaceful Prints panel).  A bow of Real Red Sheer Ribbon was adhered at the top of the ornament using Mini Glue Dots.

The "Sending" greeting was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and matted with a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock.  The greeting was adhered above the ornament on the Be Dazzled strip using Mini Glue Dots with the top edge of the Evening Evergreen mat 1/4" below the top edge of the Be Dazzled strip.  The "To You & Yours" greeting was stamped on Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink and matted with a slightly larger piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock.  The greeing was adhered below the ornament on the Be Dazzled strip using Mini Glue Dots with the bottom edge of the Evening Evergreen mat 3/8" above the bottom edge of the Be Dazzled strip.

BrightBaubles_SendingJoy_Inside

A strip of the Be Dazzled 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper was adhered across a Basic White cardstock panel with the top edge of the strip 1-1/2" below the top edge of the panel and the right and left edges of the strip flush with the right and left edges of the panel.

A piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock was die cut using the solid round ornament die including the small insert to create a hanger opening at the top of the ornament.  A piece of Real Red cardstock was die cut using the bow with hanging thread die.  Two narrow strips of Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper were adhered across the ornament with the top edge of the upper strip 3/4" from the top (curved piece) of the ornament and the bottom edge of the lower piece 3/8" above the bottom center of the ornament.  Paper Snips were used to trim the strips along the edge of the ornament.  The bow with hanging thread was threaded through the ornament hanger at the top of the ornament and the ornament adhered at the upper center of the Basic White panel with the top of the ornament (curved piece) 3/8" below the top edge of the panel and centered between the right and left sides of the panel.  The thread of the ornament hanger was folded to the back of the panel and adhered in place.  The panel was adhered at the center of the inside sentiment area of the card base.

The "Wishing You A" and "Christmas" sentiments were stamped on narrow strips of Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink.  The "Merry & Bright" sentiment was stamped on a slightly wider strip of Basic White cardstock using Real Red ink.  The strips were adhered to the ornament with "Merry & Bright" across the center of the ornament, "Wishing You A" centered above "Merry & Bright", and "Christmas" centered below "Merry & Bright".

BrightBaubles_SendingJoy_Envelope

A piece of the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper was adhered to the envelope flap of the Medium Basic White Envelope.  Paper Snips were used to trim away the excess paper using the edge of the envelope flap as a guide.

I'll be back in a few days with the Stamp Review Crew with a Blog Hop featuring a number of great ideas using Sale-A-Bration items.
