Christmas in July Snow Wonder-Case the Catty

 I was very excited to learn that the Snow Wonder stamp set and  Snow Time dies were carried over from last years' Holiday mini as it was my only Christmas set I had that was current plus it's totally cute.  I decided to case the catty, but did change up the colours a bit.   Everyone at our Christmas in July Stamp a Stack seemed to enjoy the mix of Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent which aren't traditionally Christmas colours.  When you receive your copy of the Mini catalogue, this cutie pie is found on page 21. 



Supply List:

Cardstock: Basic White 159276-cut at 5 ½”x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”; scrap for sentiment die cut; scrap for snowman die cut

Soft Succulent 155776-cut at 4”x5 ¼”

Ink: Crumb Cake 147117; Shaded Spruce 146981

Stamp Sets: Snow Wonder 153344

Dies: Snow Time Dies 153564

Markers: Crumb Cake 154962 and Shaded Spruce 154906

Accessories: Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack 155475

Tear & Tape Adhesive 154031; Dimensionals 104430

Tools: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine 149653; Paper Trimmer 152392

Step- By- Step Instructions:

 

Stamping: Ink up the Snowman and “Christmas Wishes & Joyful Greetings” sentiment and stamp on the scraps of Basic White Cardstock.  Next, stamp the trees using Shaded Spruce and stamp three times across the center of the Soft Succulent matte.  I like to finish the insides so I stamped the trees on the inside too.

I coloured his scarf using Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce blends, skipping a few of the squares so it’s not a completely coloured pattern.

Die cut the sentiment and Snowman using the appropriate dies in the Snow Time Dies and then emboss the snowflakes across the top of the matte using the snowflakes included in the die set.

Now let’s assemble our card:

Glue down your snowman using the tear and tape adhesive allowing a small amount of the trees to show on the side.  Then, using the Crumb Cake Baker’s twine from the essentials pack, wrap the twine around the front of the card.  Then with a second piece of twine, make a bow and attach to the first piece of twine-should be a big loopy bow.

Using the dimensionals, pop up the sentiment.  Once again, you will want to cover up parts of the trees so they are just peeking out from behind the sentiment.  Now you can adhere the finished matte to the cardbase with your adhesive.  Now isn't he just the cutest???

Stampin' Up! Splendid Autumn Sympathy Card

Image
Today's card was inspired by a sketch seen on facebook from an American Demonstrator.  I was intrigued by the cool way to use some of our beautiful designer series paper and the best part is, you don't need a huge piece! I am attending a Stampin' Up! event this weekend and we were asked to bring a few projects to share and this is one of my projects. Fall isn't officially here yet, but once school starts up and the leaves start to fall off the trees, it's pretty close.  The Splendid Autumn designer series paper is gorgeous, the beautiful rich colours are simply stunning.   The cardbase and matte layer are Wild Wheat and the cardstock that the dsp is mounted on is Crushed Curry.  Simply cut the pieces and adhere together and then adhere to the card front.  I stamped using Memento onto a strip of Basic White cardstock which was then mounted on to another piece of Crushed Curry.  This was then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals after the length of 2023...

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Christmas Card

Image
Good day folks!  I am here with another card created for my recent Stampin' Up! gathering this past weekend.  We had a day long activity where we focused on building up our Stampin' Up! business, watched several Atlantic Demos create some beautiful projects and then participated in a show box swap.  This was my shoe box swap offering. I have used this fancy fold layout several times and thought it was the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the beautiful Nests of Winter dsp in the latest mini catalogue! My cardbase is Grey Granite which was cut and scored, the die cut square behind the image and the strip to hold the card together are all Gray Granite too.  The dsp is from Nests of Winter and they are adhered to the front and the inside of the cardbase.  There is a small piece of Basic White for the insert and fits beside the piece of dsp.  The strip of Gray Granite,  is scored is secured next.  Starting at the far left edge of the card front,...
