ICS BLOG HOP-MY FAVORITE PUNCH-SCOTTIE DOG!

Happy fall! Here on our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop this month we are looking at our favorite punches! They can be quick and easy, and there are a ton of great ones from which to choose! So much fun to choose!

Here's my card:

So the punch I'm featuring this month is the Scottie Punch! This one is near & dear to my heart as my son's name is Scott, and as his mom I've always called him Scottie! We aren't scottie collectors per se, but this one is so darn cute!!! lol It coordinates with the Christmas Scottie stamp set-yup-it'll be my Christmas card set this year!! lol And even best it comes as a bundle in the                               July-December 2022 Mini Catalog so you save 10%! A bit early for Christmas I know, but I just couldn't wait to play with him!!! lol

So here I did a simple book bind fun fold card!  Now the DSP we need to discuss!!! So it's from the Celebrate Everything DSP pack that is available only to our hostesses!!! This one is in the same catalog as the Scotties!! On your way towards this Hostess set!  There are 48 sheets of amazing different designs!!! We sometimes forget about these with all the excitement of the new seasonal DSP packs! But I love the idea of red/white/black!!! And the print is not overwhelming for this card!

It's also a peek-a-boo card-at least that's what I call it! lol The                   Layering Circle Dies work perfectly for this little guy! He "peeks" out when the card is closed & when opened he's still there! lol

Other materials used on the car are the Deckled Rectangles, Gingham Ribbon & the oh-so-fun-and-fabulous Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (don't overlook these!!! Praying for so many more colors in the future!!!)

Happy Stampin'!

INSPIRE, CREATE, SHARE BLOG HOP-SNOWFLAKE WISHES THANK YOU

Here we are on our last Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop of 2021! Where did this year go?? Well we are showing our "thanks" this month! For oh so many things!

Here's my card this month:

This is designed as a thank you for some amazing Christmas gifts or hospitality or fun!  The card is designed using Snowflake Wishes. This is one of my beloved stamp sets from the Annual Catalog. I used the matching                                 So Many Snowflake Dies to cut the snowflakes!

I'm not sure if there's an actual name for this type of card but I call it a "peek-a-boo" card. The sentiment is heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder on the inside, but it shows through the opening in the front cut with the                Layering Circle Dies. Kind of a 2-for-1!

I had to use my Peaceful Place 12x12 DSP! I don't want to waste one single inch of that paper! When I saw it in the Holiday Mini, I wasn't sure about it.  Pretty but eh.  Until I saw it in person! It is one of my favorite DSP packs EVER!!!! This paper is gorgeous! And it pairs so well with this equally beautiful                                  Silver Foil Specialty DSP Pack!

I thought the Metallic Mesh Ribbon worked perfectly with the snowflakes. It was originally designed as like a spider web-for Halloween. But I think it looks like cracked ice-winter chilly! I used it more for winter cards than I ever did for spider webs!

              Other products used are the Stitched Rectangle dies and the                      Elegant Faceted Gems

ICS BLOG HOP-MANY BLESSINGS

This month on the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are celebrating 

Fall for All!!! Beautiful fall creations featuring products from our amazing new Holiday Catalog will be featured!!!! 

Now everyone knows I'm a summer girl, but fall is second best! Here in 

New England we have the most vibrant colors! Lots of apple picking, pumpkins & corn stalks, hay bales & lots more happen around here! Although this year we've had so much rain it's hard to see any colors at all! So looking forward to this blog hop to make my colors shine!!!

Here's my fall creation this month:

This was a fun, clean-and-fairly simple card to make. That's my style!!! This is the Many Blessings stamp set! It was inspired by one of Stampin' Up's Million Sales Achievers-Ruth Snyder! I really like it because it works for anything from early fall right through Christmas! A super versatile, fun stamp set! 

And it's perfect to use with our amazing Stampin' Blends! Ok I love to color. Don't judge! lol This like "grown up" coloring! And I love how these colors really made me think fall!

I used the Layered Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder. Now usually I spritz the card stock a bit with water before I emboss with these folders, but this time I wanted a softer finish-so no water! Still pretty but a nice light finish!

I love this kind of peek-a-boo style card!!! It just adds a little something extra to a pretty greeting card.   Easy to do with all the Layering Circle Framelits & Circle Punches we have! I used a combo here! And the photopolymer stamps are "flexible" so i was able to fit that wreath-like stamp on the round strip!

Finished it all off with the Braided Linen Trim! I am very happy with this one! Love my Stampin' Blends!

Now hop on over to Megan's blog & see what she is featuring for Fall for All!!!  Then keep going & check out everyone else's! Just click on her name or the icon below! Happy fall y'all!!!
