PPP BLOG HOP-SUNSHINE AND SMILES

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! This month's kit is so adorable!!!! Creating an alternative was a challenge because the actual kit is so cute! But here we are!!! Hope you hop along & enjoy all our alternatives!!!!

Here's my card:

Here's the way the actual kit works:

I saw that bunny & it just screamed Easter to me! Here in New England we are in the throws of a renewed winter weather pattern-MUCH to my dismay! Anything spring speaks to me right now! lol  And with Easter right around the corner, this is just a thing!

All I did here was turn the card inside out and back it with some                       Basic White card stock! I decorated the inside too! The rainbow was just too pretty & springy to leave on the inside!

I broke my rule about only using kit materials on this one-but just a little bit! I did add some ribbon (Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet) and black & Balmy Blue inks. The stamp set Celebrating You used for the sentiment also is not part of the kit! But the majority of the card is kit-only materials!!!

I love this little Easter card and I hope you do to! Next up with some sunshine & smiles is Elizabeth! Click on her name here or the icon below to see her creation! Pray for spring! lol

Happy Stampin'!

 

ICS BLOG HOP-SAB-DAINTY FLOWERS

 

Happy February! And welcome to our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! This month we are once again featuring our amazing Sale-A-Bration products-FREE to you with a qualifying purchase! So much fun to choose from!!! So join us as this amazing group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators share some great ideas!!!

Here's my card:

Card front

Inside

The Dainty Flowers 12x12 DSP is designed to coordinate with the               Dainty Delight bundle from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, but I don't have that bundle! This DSP works perfectly with everything!!! It stands on its own! This is a very simple but oh so pretty card! One of the pages in the pack has 6 of these pretty flowery ovals. Simply cut & paste! 

The sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set cut out using the coordinating Something Fancy Dies-all from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog! These can be purchased in a bundle to save 10%!                                 So nice to think "spring"!

Card it finished off with the In-Color Metallic Woven Ribbon. It's the perfect ribbon for that little extra touch!

Be sure to get your Sale-A-Bration items while they last!

NEW AT SU-TAG WITH CELEBRATE EVERYTHING DSP

 Hello and Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah! I can't believe this is the last blog hop of 2022! So much Stampin' Up! fun to look forward to in 2023 though! And here on the New at SU Blog Hop our group of international demonstrators are sure to keep you updated of all the goings on!!!

This month we are featuring tags-just in time for your gift giving! Sometime ya just want something different!

Here's my tag:

So this uses very little materials, and is a great tag for using up some of your old DSP! This is the beautiful Celebrate Everything DSP which will be leaving us soon! Bah humbug! lol I love this paper pack!

Here I simply created this fun 3-D Christmas tree from one piece of paper! All kinds of folds & a few snips & it's a pretty easy & fun thing to make! Definitely not good for flat mailing, but very pretty under the tree!!! The DSP is mounted on a piece of Basic White for stability. Here's a little close up of the tree!

The stamping on the back is from Santa's Delivery & the to/from is from this month's Paper Pumpkin exclusive stamp set!!!

The string is from the beautiful Iridescent Trim-also leaving us with the           2022 Holiday Mini Catalog. But perfect for a tag!!!

The stars are cut using the Give it a Whirl Dies and                               Distressed Gold 12x12 Specialty Paper! Very fun to make!

Hope you enjoyed this tag! Please click on the links below to see some of the amazing creations our other demonstrators have shared!

May all the peace and blessings be with you and yours in this wonderful season of light. We will be back in the new year with a brand new 2023 Spring Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration!!!

Merry Stampin'!

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.

NEW AT SU-PENGUIN PLACE GIFT CARD HOLDER

 

Welcome to the November New at SU Blog Hop! This month our group of international Stampin' Up! demonstrators is getting ready for the gift giving with some fun gift card holders!!! We are featuring our amazing products from either the Annual Catalog or the 2022 Fall/Winter Mini-or both!!!

Here's my gift card holder:

Opened up!

Before decorating!!

This design is a little ditty I came up with years ago! Gift cards can get lost in the gift shuffle on Christmas morning or Hanukkah nights! My family has alway just laid the gift cards on the branches of the trees, but often they'd fall & get misplaced. I wanted something that was appropriate for "hanging" on the tree! So this is what I came up with!  It is also awesome to hang off a package when the gift card is an added gift!

I love how the little guy from Penguin Place & the Penguin Punch work here! Just the right size. It also leaves room for me to add a dimensional if I want to close it up tight!

Here's my template: (feel free to use if you wish)

Template                            All cut out!

It allows for a 1/2" thickness.

The inside will hold some tissue paper or one of the folded up cracking ards that the gift cards come on.  You can also add a little note!  I do have a little tag I use to attach to the handle, but it's not pictured! You can also adhere a piece of white to the back of the holder with to & from!  Lots of fun ideas!!!

Other materials used are the Celebrate Everything DSP and the            Iridescent Trim!

So I hope you have found some inspiration here! Please visit the blogs listed below to see what else you can do to make your gift cards look amazing!!!

Happy Stampin'!
