Loveliest Tree - Emboss Resist Technique

 Hi friends!

I'm participating in another Bundle Bonus that goes live today. My project features Stampin' Up's Loveliest Tree stamp and die bundle.

Are you wondering what the Bundle Bonus is? Let me tell you about this inspiring program! When you purchase the featured bundle from me, I provide a bonus - all the inspiration you need to create with your new bundle. You get a pdf with lots of inspiring projects my demonstrator friends and I have created using the bundle - and many of them come with video tutorials. The pdf includes project photos, supply lists and measurements for each project.

This month we had 2 bundles to choose from - the Loveliest Tree bundle or the Adventurous Sky bundle. My project uses the Loveliest Tree stamp set and die bundle paired with the Nests of Winter designer series paper (DSP) and Birch Wood 3D embossing folder.

Loveliest Tree Bundle #163716

Nests of Winter DSP #164183

With this bundle I made this card using the Emboss Resist technique.

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.

Journey to My New Craft Room - Part 3

Hi friends!

If you watched my Facebook lives, you've probably heard me mention that a house renovation forced me out of my old crafting space in to a cramped corner. 

Temporary Craft Space

Today I'm sharing the progress in creating my new crafting space. 

Since the last update, my new craft table (aka some time dining table) has been moved in! I found this on FB Marketplace and got it for cheap. It makes my heart happy

Temporary Craft Space

Today I'm sharing the progress in creating my new crafting space. 

Since the last update, the area rug arrived, the new curtains were hung, I added a treasured family memento, and the large furniture cabinets are in place. It's so exciting seeing my vision coming together!

My mother immigrated from Denmark and we are close with our family there. This cross stitch piece was made by my aunt and gifted to my mother. It's a map of Denmark noting many historical places, some I have visited. I am so happy I can now display it where I can see it every day!

I have the crafting table stored away and will soon move to its new home. Then the moving in and unpacking work will begin!
