OSAT Blog Hop - Thank You

Welcome to the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop for December with a theme of Thank You!  I hope you enjoyed the great projects from my friend Tina!  

I was raised where I had to write a thank you for any gift or money I got for my birthday or Christmas, so Thank You cards are near & dear to my heart!  I recently got some of my Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog pre-order items, so I wanted to use them for this month's blog hop.  

The Botanical Gardens suite was used for both the card and tag on the thank you gift.

Here's the card details....

• Cajun Craze card base
• Botanical Gardens DSP layer 4" x 5 1/4" 
• Mint Macaron square 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
• Whisper White layer 3" x 3"
• Watercolor Thank You embossed in Gold
• Washi Tape is out of the new Botanical Gardens Designer Washi Tape
• Flowers are made from the Botanical Builder Framelits in vellum and Mint Macaron

I was trying to figure out what to do for the Thank You project and decided to make thank you gifts for my loyal customers this year.  I have an event next week and plan to give them these ornaments with paper crafting supplies.

Here's the project details....

• Mint Macaron 2" x 3 1/4" cardstock and inked in the same color with the Botanical Blooms stamp set
• Ornate tag topper punch
• Sentiment is from Endless Thanks and stamped in Memento Black and cut out with the Washi Label punch
• Botanical Builder Framelits were used again for the flowers along with the Itty Bitty Accents punch.  The middle of the flower was accented with washi tape.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and project!  Thanks for stopping by and check out the next blog in our hop, Kim!

Supplies used:

• Stampin' Up! Guy Greetings stamp set for the sentiment
• Retired Brilliant Blue cardstock & ink
• Basic Black cardstock
• Whisper White cardstock
• Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Night of Navy,  and Memento Black inks for the northern lights technique background
• Sponges
• Washi Label punch
• Adhesives - snail, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Christmas Advent Tree

We got to deliver to the Christmas Advent tree to the neighbor boys on Sunday.  I love how it turned out and better yet I love how they are enjoying it!

 

ICS Blog Hop Perfectly Packaged

Welcome to our December ICS blog hop!  I hope you have enjoyed the blogs thus far.  Christmas is approaching very fast!  The theme for our hop this month is Perfectly Packaged just in time for the holidays!!

I love giving baked goodies as gifts, so I decided to come up with packaging for one I will be making - zucchini bread! 

The card is using thick Whisper White cardstock for the base, Pacific Point as an accent, and Whisper White front.  Soft Sky, Island Indigo, and Pacific Point were used for the snowflakes from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and the coordinating punch.  The sentiment is stamped in Memento black ink. 

I thought it would be fun to have a tag to go with the baked gift.  Marina Mist, Island Indigo, Night of Navy, and Pacific Point were used for the snowflakes also with the coordinating punch.  The sentiment is found in the Flurry of Wishes stamp set and the To/From is from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set. 

I have to say that my favorite part was making the packaging for the bread!  

 
It took me five tries to figure out the correct dimensions!  Here are the dimensions and scoring/cutting details.  The cardstock is 7.75" x 6.75" and is scored 2" on each side.  Cut two slits on each side.  I then stamped snowflakes on it using the same stamp set as the tag and card.  To make the container for the bread - fold the corners in first and adhere to the two middle side flaps using tear & tape adhesive.  Our marvelous Stampin' Up! Silver Cording (48 inches) was used to tie the bread into the container and the tag.  

Note: The bread was made using a Wilton pan that has 8 mini loaves.

Thanks for stopping by my post in the ICS blog hop!  The next stop in your hop is Claudia!  
Happy hopping & Merry Christmas!!

November D's Stamping Team USA Blog Hop Christmas

Welcome back to the D's Stamping Team blog hop for November!  This month is all about Christmas as it is quickly approaching!! 

I recently did a class for teacher, neighbor, etc. normal gifts, so I thought I would share one of the ones we made for this blog hop.  

The mini treat bag was used in Real Red cardstock and was embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder.  It features the Wonderous Wreath stamps set and Wonderful Wreath framelits.  It is topped off by the sentiment out of this stamp set and tied on using the Garden Green 1/8" striped ribbon.

OSAT Blog Hop - Holidays

 

Welcome to the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop for November - Holidays!  I hope you enjoyed the great projects from Renee!  I am excited for my Christmas project and card!!!

Both my card and project use the Joyful Season stamp set from Stampin' Up!  

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock and embossed with the Woodland embossing folder.  The layers were cut out of Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White using the Ovals framelits. I love the cardinal in this stamp set!  The outline is in Memento Black, body is Cherry Cobbler, beak is Pumpkin pie, snow is Soft Sky, and branch is Early Espresso.  To finish off the card I used the sentiments out of the Flurry of Wishes stamp set punched out with the scallop oval punch.  The wooden snowflake was ink in Versamark and embossed with gold!

 
The project was made out of the mini treat bag and Season of Cheer DSP.  One of my favorite newer adhesives - Tear & Tape was used to but the bag together.  It is stuffed with hot chocolate & a candy cane for a small gift for teachers, neighbors, etc.  I used the metallic foil dollies and gold cording with the tag to embellish the bag.  The same Joyful Season stamp set was used in the color scheme from the card.  

 
I hope you have enjoyed my card and project as I look forward to Christmas!  Thanks for stopping by and check out the next blog in our hop, Kim!

ICS Blog Hop Giving Thanks

Welcome to our November ICS blog hop!  I hope you have enjoyed the blogs thus far.  This month is all about being thankful.

I have seen this ink on brayer to embossing folder technique lately, so I thought I would try it.  I was inspired by cards by Billie Moan and Tami White for this card.  

I had a lot of fun applying the Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry inks to the Woodland embossing folder with a brayer.  It sure did make a mess! :)  The Vintage Leaves were stamped in Memento Black on cardstock as the same background colors.  The Thankful comes from the Stampin' Up! Hostess Six Sayings stamp set and is embossed in gold on vellum paper.  

Thanks for stopping by my post in the ICS blog hop!  The next stop in your hop is Tammy!  Happy hopping!!

October D's Stamping Team USA Giving Thanks

Welcome back to the D's Stamping Team blog hop for October!  This month is all about giving thanks.  I volunteered to make place cards for our family's Thanksgiving dinner, so I thought sharing those this month would be perfect for the theme.

I started with a 4.25x5" piece of Crushed Curry cardstock.  I scored it at 2.5" and folded over to create the tent.  From the September 2015 Paper Pumpkin stamp set I took four of the stamps and mounted them all on the same clear block.  These were stamped in Crumb Cake ink on the Crushed curry cardstock.  The leaflet framelits were used to cut out the large leaves in Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler.  The sentiment is from the same Paper Pumpkin kit and stamped in Versamark & embossed in gold powder.  Here's a photo of the kit.

The leaves were then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.  They are done and await names for Thanksgiving dinner!
