Festive Friends Stamp & Die Bundle #163039

Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP #165853

The star of this card is the super cute Santa and the tag he's displayed on. I used one of the pointsettia patterns with its gold foiling for a bit of festive fun. I think the stamp, dies, and DSP work well together!

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.

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!

Peaceful Season Stamp and Die Bundle #164021

Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder #164026

My project features the Peaceful Season stamp set and coordinating Peaceful Season Dies. I paired these stamps and dies with the Painted Trees 3D Embossing folder.

I created an artsy winter scene by daubing Shaded Spruce ink over the embossed Painted Trees. I added a sentiment and die cut from the Peaceful Season stamp and die bundle along with a bit of  Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer ribbon - all from the new Mini Catalog! For a bit of bling, I added a few Iridescent Faceted Gems that have a snowflake look.

Painted Trees Embossing with Peaceful Season Stamp & Die Bundle

I layered the embossed trees over a piece of Wild Wheat for a touch of gold. What do you think? Hit or a miss?

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Leaves of Holly Christmas Wishes Card

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The theme of the hop this month is winter holidays.

This month, each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created an inspiring project to celebrate a winter holiday. You may have arrived from Julia Mazur's blog. What a great design!

The seasonal images in the Leaves of Holly stamp and die bundle inspired my Christmas Wishes card. 

Leaves of Holly Bundle #159608

And when paired with the beautiful and festive Boughs of Holly designer series paper (DSP) they make a perfect card to send Christmas wishes.

Boughs of Holly DSP #159600

I added a touch of pine bough texture with the Wintry 3D Embossing folder to tie everything together.

Wintry 3D Embossing Folder #155433

Then it was super easy to add a couple of die cuts, a bit of sparkly ribbon, and a stamped greeting!

Alternate 3 - From the North Pole November 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit

 Hi Friends!

I'm sharing an alternate Christmas card project featuring the November 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, From the North Pole. I hope this alternative project sparks your creativity, too!

The November kit makes 12 gift tags. Once I made my tags there were a few leftover bits. I decided to use the leftover candy cane, banner, and circle die cuts as a focal piece for a Christmas card. I repurposed a scrap of Mint Macaron glimmer paper to add a bit of bling, then added a piece of Basic White cardstock to a Sweet Sorbet cardstock base to complete this quick and easy Christmas card.
