Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Friendly Seagulls Fun Fold

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is Sale-a-Bration, the best time of year where you earn free items on your qualifying orders. Are you ready for inspiring projects showcasing Sale-a-Bration items?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Maureen's blog. Her project is wonderful!

My project features the fun Friendly Seagulls stamp set. I love the sassy seagulls in this set!

Friendly Seagulls #164961

The images in this set are super cute and I wanted to use as many as possible in my project. By using a flap fun fold, I was able to use 8 of the 12 stamps in the set to create this card. During Sale-a-Bration, if you purchase the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and the Stampin' Blends combo packs used to create this card, you'll earn a Sale-a-Bration item and can get this stamp set for free. Yay!

I stamped the seagull images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added color to the wings (Light Smoky Slate), beaks and feet (Light Calypso Coral) with Stampin' Blends markers. I outlined them with a Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend marker; it really made them pop! I fussy cut 2 boxes of fries after I colored them with Light Real Red and Light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends markers, then used to mini dimensionals to adhere both to the card flaps.

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Gold Peaceful Evergreens with Peaceful Season

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is Gold or Silver. Are you ready for some fabulous projects showcasing gold and silver?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Julia Quinn's blog. What a wonderful project she shared!

I struggled with deciding on whether to go Team Gold or Team Silver. In the end, I pick gold as I wanted to incorporate Gold Foil I had on hand. Then I had to decide on a card to showcase it. Let me tell you the struggle was real!

I finally settled on remaking a card I created way back in October but changing out some items in favor of gold - my plan was to use gold foil and gold embossing. I started with the Peaceful Season stamp and die bundle and the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set.

Peaceful Season Stamp & Die Bundle #164021

Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set #164153

My orginal card was inspired by the cards samples shown in the Mini Catalog. This was the card I decided to remake, adding gold foil and gold embossing.

My orginal card

I replaced the Iridescent Striped Trim with gold foil that I embossed using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder to give it a look of hammered gold nuggets. I heat embossed the tree image and the In The Air sentiment with gold embossing powder, then used the Gold Drusy adhesive-backed embellishments instead of the silver. And voila, my remade card with many touches of gold.

Team Gold card

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Reindeer Days DSP Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is December holidays. Are you ready for some fabulous projects?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Julia Quinn's blog. What a wonderful project she shared!

I'm a fan of giving gift cards as the recipient can choose the gift of their choice when they need, or want, it. My fun fold gift card holder card features the Reindeer Days designer series paper (DSP) which I paired with a sentiment from the Peaceful Season stamp set and die bundle.

Peaceful Season Die Bundle #164021

Reindeer Days DSP #164166

I stamped evergreen trees from Peaceful Evergreens stamp set as a focal point in both Grany Apple Green and Garden Green since both colors coordinate with the DSP. Then I tied a bit of Iridescent trim around it for a touch of sparkle.

Reindeer Days DSP Gift Card Holder Front

For the Merry sentiment, I die cut banners in Real Red and Basic White cardstock, then stamped the sentiment on the Basic White die cut and used my snips to trim it down to fit on the Real Red die cut.

Fun Fold Gift Card Holder

For the gift card holder, I adhered a piece of the DSP with the tree pattern to the left side. I notched out a circle with the 1¾" circle punch.
