ICS BLOG HOP-CHRISTMAS SCOTTIE THANKS!

 

Welcome to the last Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop for 2022!!! Wow! Where did the year go?? It was a good one after a few rough ones! And I surely have a lot to be thankful for! Fortunately, this month we are sharing cards of thanks! As our    Fall 2022 Mini Catalog winds down, I'm trying to get the most out of it!

Here's my card:

Now this is a very simple thank you. It's designed for a generic winter "thank you" card! I know there are so many Christmas thank you's going out, but I needed a change from all the Christmas stuff! lol Just for a day though! I love ALL things Christmas!!!

This Christmas Scottie stamp set and the Scottie punch have done me well this season & is one I will not get rid of! My eldest son is named Scott! Can't let this one go! lol I got to use all the little scottie dogs on this one!  Here's the inside! Although the punch is retiring soon so be sure to get yours if you'd like one!!

The inside! Ruff!

I like the Alphabest Stamp set with the coordinating Best Label Punch for sentiments. It's nice & small & good for card fronts! It spreads out across both sides of this gatefold card. Just thought it lent a level of excitement! lol Hope this one doesn't go away!

Other items used are Celebrate Everything 12x12 DSP, Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. 

I wish you all the most blessed and happy Holiday season! Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or something else, may it be filled with family, friends & joy.

A COLORING DOWN THE LINES "SLUSHIE"!!

So this week we are beginning our blog hop with our new In-Colors!!! They are such nice tones! 

Our challenge this week is using Strawberry Slush with Rich Razzleberry & Sahara Sand OR with Coastal Cabana & Crisp Cantaloupe. 

I definitely chose the latter because I wanted to use all my new In-Colors!!!

So welcome back from Helen's "slushie" blog!!! I know her creation is super "juicy" and "cool"!! Ok, enough with the puns!!! I'm sure you loved her creation!! :)

So here's mine!!!

I pulled out my new Mosaic Madness tools!! The Mosaic Madness stamp set, Mosaic Punch & the Mosaic Embossing Folder!! I am really enjoying this combo!!! 

I love the way the "mosaics" look with the embossing folder! Especially when Stampin' Dimensionals are used to "puff" them up! Cool!!!

This is a tri-fold card, but a little different than the standard gatefold! See?

I have the design panel attached on the left side, but the right side needs to be "over" the left base side! Clear as mud?? I'd be happy to share if you'd like, but it makes a nice gatefold-style stay closed instead of kind of flopping open. Just as easy to make though!!!

Here's a close up of the panel!!!

You can see the dimension & texture with the folder & "mosaics". You can also see the Basic Pearl Jewels accents. 

Oh, btw, the little sentiment is from the Pennant Parade stamp set!

Overall, it's a fairly simple card, but I think it looks nice & showcases the new In-Colors well!

Now pop on over to Laura's blog & check out her La-Dee-Dah lovely creation!!!! I'll see you there!!

Watch over the next few days for some of our exciting new products!!! I can't wait for the man in brown to deliver my BIG box of goodies from the new catalog!!! Wait until you see!!! I sure can't!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!
