Stampin' Up! Jingle All The Way Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Christine Blain's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

As with last weeks card being card 1, using from a 6" x 6" one sheet wonder, today I am sharing card 2. The DSP is from Heartwarming Hugs and I have embossed the pear pizzazz cardstock with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder. I added my fussy cut/stampin' blend images on top of the embossed cardstock and the stamped sentiment is from "Holly Jolly Wishes". For added visual interest I raised the sentiment and Santa image up with stampin' dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Be Jolly Christmas Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Caroline Manwaring's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

On Saturday I took part in a Facebook event with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators where we used a 6" x 6" one sheet wonder to make 4 cards. I used the template for the basis of my card today (and hope to use it for my cards for the next 3 weeks.) The strip of DSP is from Heartwarming Hugs and I have embossed the granny apple green cardstock with the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder. I added my fussy cut/stampin' blend images on top of the DSP and embossed cardstock. I used the messages die to die cut out the "be jolly sentiment".

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Hello Card

Today, we have week 19 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, gorgeous grape. 


I had trouble choosing my trio of colours from the swatch this week so I made two cards. I went with the top two sets of colours. Gorgeous grape, pool party, garden green for one card and gorgeous grape, early espresso, granny apple green for the second card. Both cards are practically the same except for the colour choices.
I have used the artistically inked stamp set and artistic dies and made two hello cards. I added in some copper foil from the brushed metallic foil from the July - December mini catalogue and some champagne rhinestone basic jewels. 


With decorated envelope - I used the large watercolour image randomly over the envelope flap

Stampin' Up! Delicate Baubles Christmas Split Card Where I CASED Myself

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card tonight I have CASED a card I made a few weeks back. It is a split card featuring the delicate baubles die and I have used whimsy and wonder DSP this time. I have used a basic black die cut outline and filled it with mint macaron whimsy and wonder DSP, misty moonlight and so saffron cardstock. I added basic rhinestone jewels in the centre of the what I am calling, the star sparkles. The rest of the split panel card also features the whimsy and wonder DSP. The sentiment is typed on my computer and die cut out with the messages die.

Inside card - I stamped a sentiment from Holly Jolly wishes so it wouldn't be seen when the card was closed and the tree is from Christmas tree dies

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Textures & Frames Birthday Card

Today, we have week 18 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, garden green. 
I have chosen garden green, melon mambo and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work from this week. I also added in some so saffron and basic gray. 

For my card tonight, I used the sale-a-bration products textures and frames stamp set and be dazzling speciality paper. If you are wanting to grab your own textures and frames stamp set, dazzling speciality paper or any of the other sale-a-bration products, sale-a-bration ends tomorrow, Thursday September 30th so get your orders in ASAP, to earn your free products.

I have made a triple point birthday card. I love the playfulness of the textures and frames stamp set and it creates some great backgrounds and I think it suits a triple point card well. I embossed my garden green cardstock with merry melody 3D embossing folder to play on the birthday theme. It is a great Christmas embossing folder but I very much like it for birthdays. I've used holiday rhinestone basic jewels on the garden green cardstock for some added bling as well. Later on you will see I have also stamped the envelope with the textures and frames stamp set. Very easy to do when you have the stamps and ink pads out when you are making the card.

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Birthday Card with Expressions In Ink DSP x 2

I was asked by a family friend to make a 50th birthday card earlier this month. I decided to make a triple point card because they look pretty wow and since I was making one, I thought I'd make another at the same time! When I was making them, in my head I had what I thought would be my favourite from them beginning but when I had finished both cards, I was surprised and I had changed my mind at what was my favourite. 
Please note, they both use retired dies (numbers 50 and Happy Birthday) and gold glitter paper but all other products used are current. 

Which one do you like best? The 50th card or the Happy Birthday card?


Close up - I love the texture of the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder on this card


Happy birthday card


Close up - I like that the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder (which is advertised in the July - December [Holiday] catalogue) looks fabulous with the Happy Birthday die cut

Stampin' Up Angled Fold Delicate Baubles Christmas Card with Peaceful Prints DSP

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Michele Taylor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

Today, I have an angled fold Christmas card featuring delicate baubles dies and peaceful prints DSP. I have also used the be dazzling speciality paper. The peaceful prints DSP and be dazzling specialty paper are both available for free when you spend $90 or more on any Stampin' Up! products from August 3rd - September 30th. I really love them both and in case you haven't noticed have been using them A LOT!
For my angled card I created a base in sahara sand cardstock, inspired from the peaceful prints DSP and created a strip design from some offcuts of DSP. To complete the left hand side, I used a delicate baubles die and die cut in snowy white velvet sheets (from the July - December mini catalogue) and of course adding adhesive sheets to the velvet sheet before die cutting. A basic rhinestone jewel was added to the centre of the snowflake and a joy sentiment added to the bottom of the card front. 
On the right hand side of the card front I went with a sheet of DSP so it was a toned down a little (compared to the strip design).


Close up


Inside card - I used leftover pieces of DSP from the card front to decorate the inside and I also cut another snowflake bauble. I used paper snips to cut away the excess portions of the bauble I didn't want.

Stampin' Up! Summer Shadows Dies Any Occasion Card

Today, we have week 14 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Diane Furniss' blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry.
I have chosen crushed curry, granny apple green and gorgeous grape from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today, I basically CASED my card from last week's crumb cake blog hop except instead on a tone on tone design, I went with a bright, inlaid design and rotated the card 90 degrees. I used a basic black outline and filled it in with crushed curry, gorgeous grape and granny apple green inlaid pieces with adhesive sheets on the back of each die cut piece. I filled in some blank spaces with rhinestone basic jewels. I left the card with no sentiment so it can be used for any occasion although I may add a sentiment later.

Just a reminder what last weeks card looked like:


Here is this week's card:
