NEW AT SU-SNOWFLAKE SKY EMBOSSING FOLDER GIFT CARD HOLDER

 


Ho Ho Ho! Here on the November edition of the New at SU Blog hop this group of creative, international Stampin' Up! demonstrators are creating ways for you to give your gift card & gift certificate gifts!!!! It's always fun to get gift cards (then you can shop later!), but it's even more fun when they are in an adorable holder!! Hope you find some fun ideas!!!

Here's mine:


There is literally minimal stamping on this. I found a similar idea on Pinterest, but when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it so had to get creative! lol 

I had made a few of these a bit differently last Christmas.  Here's another one I did sort of from memory from last year. These are simple, use little product, and quick! Oh, and they're fun to make!!!

I love how the Abundant Beauty decorative masks work on this project! It looks like a fancy houndstooth Santa coat!!! lol

Copping to a bit of retired product here! the white trim is from last year's catalog, but there's a ton of nice product in the current catalog you can use!!! This was just kind of an impromptu creation because I liked the first so much! lol

Products used on both of these gift card holders are the                          Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder, Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack, So Sincere stamp set, Autumn Leaves Dies, Rhinestone Jewels colored with Real Red Stampin' Blends, Classic Matte Dots,                        Holographic Specialty Cardstock, Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks, and a bit of retired trim on the "Santa" one!

Now please go check out the blogs listed below! You'll find so many more great ideas from all around the world!!!! Then get crafting! It'll be here before you know it!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-NIGHT DIVINE


It's Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop time again!!! This month this group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators are ringing in the holiday season with Christmas creations! It's never too early for Christmas!

Here's my card:

So this was a card that kind of came from scraps! I have been working non stop with this beautiful O Holy Night DSP! Wow is it pretty! I don't want to throw away any of it! So I decided to use the scraps from another project for this Z-fold card! 

The only stamping is the beautiful sentiment from the Night Divine stamp set! This is a great set with several large sentiments. I thought this would be perfect as the focal point of the card! I think it says it all!

I even added a strip of the DSP inside. These Z-folds are nice because they can stand on their own. Christmas cards make wonderful decorations on their own, and these really make a nice visual!

The only other item used other than the standard inks & cardstocks are the Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets! Love these little stars!!!!!

Next up is Janey. Hope on over to her blog & check out her Christmas creation! Simply click on her name or the icon below! Then keep going!!! Hope this hop puts you in the spirit! It's coming!!!

Happy Stampin'!

This card was a bit of work but so much fun to make!!!!!! The leaves were heat embossed on Vellum Cardstock using gold & copper embossing powders and the Autumn Leaves stamp set, and cut with the Autumn Leaves Dies. The backs were colored with Stampin' Blends to add some lighter color.

The backdrop paper is from the All About Autumn Specialty DSP! Oh so pretty!!!

PPP BLOG HOP-WITH LOVE AND GRATITUDE

 

On this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop we are featuring a different kind of kit! It's a cute "bag" or "box" with some sweet little cards to go with! Perfect for small gift giving!  Very cute kit!

For my alternative tho this month, I changed it into a "fun fold" of sorts!Well, really more like a different kind of presentation!

Here's my alternative:



I'm not sure what this is called, but I love cards like this! It's a card on a card! Plenty of room for a little note! The colors here are so pretty! I love Lost Lagoon!

In somewhat keeping with my alternative rule of only using what's in the kit for the alternative, I only used a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock! Everything else is from the kit!

I hope you enjoyed! Now be sure to check out the other blogs listed below! There are so many great ideas for ways you can use your kit!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!

PPP BLOG HOP-MEANINGFUL FLOWERS


 Hello & welcome to this month's Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! Ok, not gonna lie! This was a tough one to redesign!!! I LOVE this kit! These cards are so pretty on their own!!! They can work for any occasion!!! They are just so pretty!!! But I did come up with a couple of alternatives of my own!

Here are the cards as designed in the kit!


There are 2 designs. 

Here are the 2 alternatives I came up with:



I didn't want to mess with the card bases that came with the kit because they're so pretty!!!! So I decided to have fun with the exclusive stamps included in the kit!

I decided to keep with the colors of the kit! I also broke my own Paper Pumpkin alternative rule-to only use what's in the kit to create alternatives! lol But these stamps-oh my! lol

The first is simply stamped on Basic White cardstock and colored in with       Stampin' Blends! Add a colorful base, some Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon & a Brushed Brass Butterfly & it's a fun card!  Hard to tell in the picture, but the images are embossed in black-makes easier coloring.

The second uses the original base that is embossed with the                         Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. The stamps are beautiful Distinctive stamps so they have the most beautiful image! I just threw in a bit of shading with the Blends & it's basically a done deal!

Hope you enjoyed!!! I'm sure that even tho you love this kit, you will find some super inspiration as you peruse the beautiful blogs below! Don't miss any of them! They are all amazing!!!

Happy Stampin'!

NEW AT SU-COUNTRYSIDE INN SUITE

 

Happy August New at SU Blog Hop Day!!! lol We are a worldwide group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators sharing some exciting ideas for you to use with our amazing products! This month we are featuring the  many suites in our catalog! These are great coordinated groups of materials that you can use to create! No need to search through all your supplies-simply pull out all the products in the suite & get stampin'!

Here's my card:


So this month I've decided to feature the Countryside Inn Suite. It includes the Countryside Inn Bundle-stamp & dies, the fabulous                          Countryside Inn 12x12 DSP, and the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder! I've used them all here!

This is a simple fun fold! Not sure what it's called, but it is so simple to make! And it's a great way to display your DSP!  And this DSP is soooooo pretty!!!! I love blues!

The graduated dies are really great! They allow you to give mattes & backings to your sentiments or images and then feature them nicely on your card! This stamp set has some pretty variations for the frames, but no sentiments.  I used one from the Hope You Know stamp set! 

The only other materials used on this card are the Butterfly embellishments! The embossing really makes it pop I think. What do you think?

Now for more ideas on all our amazing suites click on one of our blogs listed below! There are so many different styles, ideas, designs, etc., from all over the world-literally!!! I know you'll find some inspiration as you hop through!!!

Happy Stampin'!
