Minute to Make It: Frosted Gingerbread Ornament Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Frosted Gingerbread
    Ink: Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay
    Card Stock:
        Poppy Parade - 5 1/2' x 8 1/2" and 3 1/2" x 5"
        Basic White - 5 1/4" x 4", 3/8" x 3" and 4" x 5 1/2"
        Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
    Accessories: Gingerbread Dies, Scalloped Contour Dies and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

In today's Minute to Make It video, I show you how I created this card using the Frosted Gingerbread set:

The Frosted Gingerbread set contains three large images, reminiscent of gingerbread cookies.  These ornaments are one of them.  When I was creating this card, I started with colors pulled right from the designer series paper.  I added Bermuda Bay as a third color, and I like the contrast that it provides.  It is slightly untraditional color combination, but it provides a nice change of pace.

Cottage Wreaths Fall Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Cottage Wreaths
    Ink: Cajun Craze and Pear Pizzazz
    Card Stock:
        Crumb Cake - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Crushed Curry - 5 1/4" x 4" and a scrap
        Basic White - 2 1/2" x 3" and 2 1/2" x 3/4"
        Cajun Craze - Scrap
        Garden Green - Scrap
    Accessories: Country Wreath Dies, Leaf Fall Folder, Bakers Twine Essentials Pack and Stampin' Dimensionals

Fall has officially arrived, and I thought it was a good time to share this fall card I made using the Cottage Wreaths set.  I'm really a summer girl, but I can't deny the beauty of the fall leaves.  This card uses some of the pieces in the Cottage Wreaths set that you might be less likely to use, namely, it doesn't use the wreath at all!  Sometimes it is fun to challenge yourself and use some of those less obvious components of a set.

#SimpleStamping Friday: Happy Hedgehogs Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Happy Hedgehogs
    Ink: Orchid Oasis, Pool Party and Memento Black
    Card Stock:
        Basic White - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 3 1/2" x 4 1/4"
        Pool Party - 5 1/4" x 4"

    Accessories: Crumb Cake Light and Dark Blends, Orchid Oasis Light and Dark Blends, Pool Party Dark Blends, Mossy Meadow Light Blends and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

I've had the Happy Hedgehogs set for several months now and I don't think I have had a chance to play with it yet.  I've had such a strong focus on Christmas cards that I decided I wanted to pull something else out for today's #SimpleStamping Friday card.  The set has a coordinating hedgehog punch, but, as you know, Simple Stamping cards are just stamps, ink and paper!  This sweet little guy has a warm message of thanks for somebody special.

Brightest Glow Merry and Bright

Materials:
    Stamps: Brightest Glow
    Ink: Versamark
    Card Stock:
        Very Vanilla - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" and 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
        Cherry Cobbler - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Soft Succulent - 1 3/8" x 5"
        Glimmer Specialty Paper - 1 1/2" x 5"
        Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper - preprinted star square, cut down
    Accessories: Labels Aglow Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Merry Melody Folder, Metallics Embossing Powder and Stampin' Dimensionals

We have so many gorgeous products in our July-December catalog that I can't help but show you all the things.  I know it's been a lot of Christmas cards, but I'm not going to apologize for it, lol.  This card features products from the Brightest Glow Suite, including my favorite Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper. I was intrigued by the preprinted square, and I wanted do something with it. Of course the gold on the paper required some gold embossing and gold glimmer paper to complete the look.  I wouldn't want to create fifty of these cards, but a few for some special people would be just the thing.

One of my nieces turned nine this week, and we will be celebrating this weekend.  This is the card I made for her, and it just so happens to be a #SimpleStamping card perfect for #SimpleStamping Friday.  I had a thought to use different images of the word happy and create an all over background in fun happy colors.  I love the way it turned out!

Wisteria Wishes Christmas Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Wisteria Wishes and Christmas to Remember
    Ink: Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler
    Card Stock:
        Garden Green - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Cherry Cobbler - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Basic White - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
    Accessories: Gold Satin Edged Ribbon and Champagne Rhinestones

 

I love taking my stamps and then using them in an unexpected way.  The primary stamp set on this card is Wisteria Wishes.  I took the wisteria blooms and turned them upside down to make Christmas trees.  Isn't that fun?  It was super easy and would be a great way to make Christmas cards without investing in a separate Christmas set.

Paper Pumpkin August 2022: Sweet Sunflowers Alternates 2

Today, I have my final set of cards I made with the August Paper Pumpkin set, Sweet Sunflowers.  On these cards, I mostly concentrated on using just the stamps, although I did cut up one of the envelopes to use as a background.  I especially liked the one where I used the the "thank you" as a stem.  It's fun when you can use stamps in a new and unexpected way.

There are still a few more days to sign up and receive the September kit, Spooky Treats.  In this kit you will find all the supplies you need to create fun treat boxes that you can share with family, coworkers and friends.  Subscribe by September 10 so you don't miss it.

Let Heaven and Nature Sing Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Perched in a Tree
    Ink: Real Red and Memento Black
    Card Stock:
        Sahara Sand - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper - 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
        Basic White - 5 1/4" x 4" and 4 1/4" x 3 1/2"
    Accessories: Aspen Tree Dies, Labels Aglow Dies, Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack, Sponge Daugers and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

 

 

With all the cards I've shown you using the Perched in a Tree set, I'm not sure if I've actually done a Christmas card yet.  This one incorporates the major pieces from the stamp set and die bundle.  I also used a piece of designer series paper that is the exact size of the card front.  I think it gives it a really nice edge-to-edge look.

#SimpleStamping Friday: Hello Harvest Pumpkin Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Hello Harvest and Go To Greetings
    Ink: Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive
    Card Stock:
        Pumpkin Pie - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Pale Papaya - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Gingham Cottage - 1" x 4" (2) and 1" x 5 1/4" (2)
        Basic White - 2 1/2" x 3" and 5/8" x 2"

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday I shared the samples for my monthly tutorial which featured the Hello Harvest bundle.  Today, or my #SimpleStamping Friday card, I've got another sample using Hello Harvest.  For this card, I used 1" strips of designer series paper to create a bit of a frame for my pumpkin.  I chose to leave the pumpkin plain, but you could easily add a little bit of colors using Blends, a Blending Brush or even a sponge dauber.  It's a sweet little note, perfect for fall.

September Free Tutorial: Hello Harvest

Happy September!  With the turning of the calendar, we have now entered the unofficial start to fall.  That said, here in Maine, we usually still have plenty of beautiful weather and I hope that is true wherever you are.

This month, I have chosen the Hello Harvest bundle as the featured set for my tutorial.  This set is a classic with pumpkins and sunflowers, and the coordinating Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper has some stunning designs.  I think you will find a lot of use for this bundle.
