Stampin’ Up! Brightly Gleaming Lots of Cheer

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has everyone’s week started out?  Hope you all have a very productive one.  We’re nearing the end of the month and the beginning of the next, so I’ll be working more than normal.

For today’s card I used a stamp set from the Annual Catalog and one from the Holiday Catalog along with some of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper.  Here’s my card.

For today, I played along with the Sunday Stamps Sketch Challenge #216.  Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of the gorgeous Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to a thick Very Vanilla card  base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  On a small panel of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the ornament image from the Stampin’ Up Lots of Cheer Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink.  I immediately sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I carefully colored the ornament in using my Dark Night of Navy and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I fussy cut the ornament out using my Paper Snips.

I stamped a couple of the pine boughs from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Versamark Ink next to the stamped boughs.  I immediately sprinkled it with my White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.

I adhered the Mossy Meadow panel to a Copper Foil Sheet mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered 2 thin strips of Copper Foil Sheet to the card front using Snail.  I adhered the ornament by the boughs and on the foil strips using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the card front to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the ornament image from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off 3 times, to the center of a Very Vanilla panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Lots of Cheer stamp set over the ornament image in Mossy Meadow Ink.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I stamped the ornament image from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy Inks on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Toile Christmas

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Hope you were able to make some time for yourselves.

I have a very clean and simple, quick and easy card for you today using some Designer Series Paper.   My card also uses the least amount of colors I have every made a card with, 2.  My cards usually have a minimum of 3 colors, but I wanted to try something a little different than my normal.  Here’s my card.

My design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #408.  Here’s their sketch.

I also played along with the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #244.  Here’s their theme.

I started by adhering a panel of Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to a Garden Green Mat using Snail.

I adhered the matted DSP to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Garden Green Ink.  I cut the sentiment out using the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered it to a Garden Green mat using Snail and then to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a Garden Green Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dot to the sentiment.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set in the center of a Very Vanilla panel in Garden Green Ink.  I stamped the scroll image from the Toile Christmas stamp set in Garden Green Ink below the sentiment.  I adhered the Very Vanilla panel to a Garden Green mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Thick Very Vanilla card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Very Vanilla Envelope.  I adhered a strip of the Toile Tidings DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Frost Merry Christmas for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday.  How was everyone’s week?  The weekend is upon us once again, have we made any plans?  Another weekend I will be working.

Today I used the gorgeous Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper to do most of the work for my card.  I also pulled out a stamp set and dies from the Annual Catalog.  Take a look.

Isn’t this paper stunning?  I started by embossing a Purple Posy card base using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.  I also embossed the band across the front of the card using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

I adhered a panel of the Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP to my thin Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the band to the back of the card base, so that it wrapped around the front, using Snail.  I adhered the Whisper White card base to the Purple Posy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered 2 thin strips of the Feels Like Frost Specialty DSP to either side of the thin card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the Christmas sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas To All Photopolymer Stamp Set on the bottom front of the DSP in Smoky Slate Ink.

I cut the Merry sentiment out of Silver Foil Sheet using the Merry Christmas Dies and adhered it to the band using my Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front to add a little more sparkle.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the scroll images from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set in Purple Posy Ink on the envelope front and the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my quick and easy Fun Fold card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Perfect Plaid for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  I was so excited to be asked to join in with the weekly ‘Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop’ and today is the first day for me to join in.  If you are hopping over from Akiko, thank you for stopping by. This week was a fun Sketch Challenge.  Be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects, I’m sure you will love them.  Here’s what I came up with for their sketch.

Here is the sketch I got to work from.

I started by adhering a panel of Wrapped In Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Cherry Cobbler  card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Plaid Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on the bottom of a Shaded Spruce cardstock panel.  I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I adhered the Shaded Spruce card front on top of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut out the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies from Whisper White cardstock, I then embossed it using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder.  I cut out the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies from a Gold Foil Sheet.  I adhered the Whisper White stitched circle to the Gold Foil scalloped circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I punched out 3 trees using my Pine Tree Punch, one in Cherry Cobbler, one in Shaded Spruce and one in Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP.  I adhered the Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce trees to the Whisper White circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the DSP tree on top of the other 2 using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I tied a knot from a piece of Shaded Spruce/Gold Striped 3/8″ Ribbon and adhered it to the matted stitched circle using a Glue Dot.  I adhered the artwork to the top of the Shaded Spruce card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the plaid tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Inks on the bottom of the Whisper White panel.  I punched another tree using my Pine Tree Punch from a piece of Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP and adhered it on top of the stamped trees using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the plaid tree image from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Inks on the bottom front of the envelope.  I adhered a panel of the Wrapped In Plaid Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs

Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers.  Today’s the day!! Stampin’ Up! 24-Hour Sale, 15% off select stamp sets.  Don’t miss out on these great buys.  More information below about this along with the list of sets on sale.

My upline gave us our colors and sketch for this week to work with.  I am in full Christmas card mode now and when I saw the colors I had to think how I can make them work for a Christmas card.  Here’s what I came up with.

Here is the sketch and colors she gave us.

I started by stamping the pine boughs from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Mint Macaron Ink on a Whisper White panel.  I colored the stems in using my Dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Marker.  I cut a few boughs out of Mint Macaron cardstock using the Beautiful Boughs Dies.  I cut 3 pinecones out in Soft Suede and 3 in Terracotta Tile cardstock using the Beautiful Boughs Dies.  I adhered the Mint Macaron boughs to the artwork using Glue Dots.  I adhered the Terracotta Tile pinecones to the Soft Suede pinecones using my Fine Tip Glue Pen and then adhered them to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the artwork to a Soft Suede mat using Snail and then to a Mint Macaron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink.  I made the sentiment strip into a banner and adhered it to a Soft Suede mat, using Snail, which I also made into a banner.  I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a couple Terracotta Tile 2019-2021 In-Color Faceted Dots to either side of the banner.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Soft Suede Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the pine bough image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink over the sentiment stamping off once.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Soft Suede mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the pine bough image from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set in Mint Macaron Ink on the envelope front and envelope flap, some in full strength ink and some stamped off once.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Playful Penguins

Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers.  How has everyone’s week started off?  Hope it’s going to be a productive one for you.  Don’t forget, tomorrow is the big Stampin’ Up! 24-Hour Sale.  Lots of wonderful stamp sets at a 15% discount.  If there are some you have been wanting, you don’t want to miss this great opportunity.

For today’s card I used the color and sketch challenge that my upline had given us last week.  Each week this month she is giving us a new challenge to do.  I have to admit, I did struggle with the colors for this one a little bit.  Here’s my card.

Here are the colors and sketch she gave us.

I started by embossing a Night of Navy card front using the Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder.  I wrapped a piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon around the card front on an angle.  I adhered the card front to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the penguin image from the Stampin’ Up! Playful Penguins Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I stamped the ground snow image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Versamark Ink below the penguin and immediately sprinkled it with Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I set it using my Heat Tool.  I stamped the falling snow image from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Boughs Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink all around the penguin.  I sprinkled it with my Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the artwork to an Old Olive mat using Snail.  On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the scarf and hat image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink.  I fussy cut them using my Paper Snips.  I adhered the scarf and hat to the penguin image using Glue Dots.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped just the outline image of the banner from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set using my Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker.  I stamped the sentiment from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Old Olive Ink inside the banner and cut the banner out using the Christmas Cardinal Dies.  I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the sentiment banner over the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a couple Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dots to the ends of the banner.

On the inside I stamped 2 of the sentiments from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Old Olive Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the penguin image from the Playful Penguins stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the bottom of the panel.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to an Old Olive mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the penguin image from the Playful Penguins stamp set on the envelope front and the envelope flap in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas CAS Card

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Anyone do anything fun?  I finally had a weekend day off and it was cold and rainy.  The good thing about that was, I got to spend a lot of time at my craft table.

As promised last week, I’m in full Christmas card mode.  I send a lot of Christmas/Holiday cards out, so I really need to get moving.  I have a very quick & easy, clean & simple card for you today.  Here’s my card.

The colors of my card were inspired by Just Add Ink Challenge #479.  Here are their colors.

My design was from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #407.  Here is their sketch.

I also played along with Inspire. Create. Challenge #054.  Here is their theme.

I started by adhering a panel of Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut the snowflakes out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper using the Christmas Layer Dies.  I adhered the snowflakes to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set in Pear Pizzazz Ink on a strip of Whisper White cardstock.  I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a Coastal Cabana Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the top corner of the sentiment banner.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Greatest Part of Christmas Host Exclusive Cling Stamp Set, in the center of a Whisper White panel in Pear Pizzazz Ink.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Stampin’ Up Frosted Foliage Cling Stamp Set in Coastal Cabana Ink around the sentiment stamping off once.  I adhered a strip of the Let It Snow Specialty DSP to the bottom of the panel using Snail.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Coastal Cabana card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added a small Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflake to the bottom of the panel.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Let It Snow Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Cheer for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning my fellow stampers and welcome to Fun Fold Friday.  How has everyone’s week been?  Have you made plans for the weekend yet?  Other than working, I’m not sure what I will be doing.

I figured it was time to get started on my Christmas cards, so you’ll be seeing a lot of Christmas/Holiday cards in the next few weeks.  Here’s today’s card.

I started by folding a Night of Navy card base at 4 1/4″ & 1 3/4″.  I adhered a panel of Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Gold Foil Sheet panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the matted DSP to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped a piece of the 3/8″ Shaded Spruce/Gold Striped Ribbon around the card base and tied a bow.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the boxed snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Lots of Cheer Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the image in using my Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out using my Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the largest scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Snail.  On the thin part of the Night of Navy card front I stamped the sentiment from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Versamark Ink on an angle.  I immediately sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool.  I adhered the matted oval artwork to the folded edge of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals only on the left half of the oval.  I added a few Real Red Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots.

On the inside I stamped the snowman image from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of Whisper White cardstock stamping off 3 times.  I stamped the sentiment from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on top of the snowman image.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Shaded Spruce mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base on top of the Wrapped in Plaid DSP using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the boxed snowman image from the Lots of Cheer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in with my Stampin’ Blends Markers the same as I did for the card front artwork.  I adhered a panel of Wrapped in Plaid DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Cup of Christmas Cards

Good Monday morning my fellow stampers.  How was everyone’s weekend?  Were you able to join us for our Facebook live videos?  We all had a lot of fun making them.  I did my first ever video and I have to admit, I had fun with it.  If you were able to watch, thank you very much.

For today I have the 2 cards from the video for you.  Both cards are the same style just different color bases and Designer Series Paper.  My directions are the same for both cards just the different colors.  Here are my cards.

My card played along with the Just Add Ink Challenge #477.  Here is their sketch.

I started by embossing the Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce card fronts using the Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper on the Coastal Cabana mat and the Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper on the Gold Foil Sheet using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the matted DSP to each of the card fronts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I cut out Flirty Flamingo, Night of Navy, Real Red and Shaded Spruce cups using the Cup of Cheer Dies.  On the Night of Navy mug I cut out the stripes from the Cup of Cheer Dies in Shaded Spruce cardstock and adhered them to the cup using Fine Tip Glue Pen.  For the Flirty Flamingo cup I cut out a snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Dies in Sparkle Glimmer Paper and adhered it to the cup using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the Real Red and Shaded Spruce cups I stamped them both using sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Cup of Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set with Versamark Ink.  I sprinkled the Real Red one with Shimmer White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and the Shaded Spruce one with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I immediately used my Heat Tool to set them.  I adhered the cups to the card fronts using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut out the steam with a scroll die from the Christmas Cardinal Dies in Smoky Slate cardstock.  I adhered them to the cups using my Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I adhered the Cherry Cobbler card front to the Cherry Cobbler card base and the Shaded Spruce card front to the Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the insides I stamped one of the Whisper White panels in the center with the sentiment from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Night of Navy Ink.  I stamped the holly image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set on either side of the sentiment in Shaded Spruce Ink.  On the other Whisper White panel in the center I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Foliage Cling Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink, stamping off once, on either side of the sentiment.  I adhered the one stamped with the Night of Navy sentiment to the Shaded Spruce mat and the one stamped with the Shaded Spruce sentiment to the Coastal Cabana mat using Snail.  I adhered the Shaded Spruce matted sentiment to the inside of the Cherry Cobbler card base and the Coastal Cabana matted sentiment to the inside of the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my cards I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the polka dot cup image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of the Wrapped in Plaid DSP to the envelope flap.

For the other Medium Whisper White Envelope I stamped the snowflake image from the Frosted Foliage stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink on the envelope front.  I adhered a panel of Let it Snow Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my cards and will give them a try.  Let me know which one you like better.  The list of supplies are below along with the measurements if you’d like to stamp along while watching the video.  You can watch it on my Facebook page Here.

You can also view the video on my YouTube channel Here.  Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Free Skate Christmas Card and Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box

Good Thursday morning my fellow stampers.  We’re almost through another week and before you know it the weekend will be here.

For today I have a couple projects to share with you that we made at our team meeting on Sunday.  Our team leader, Amy, comes up with the cutest ideas.  Both projects were 100% her designs.  First we made a Christmas card using the Stampin’ Up! Free Skate Bundle.  After making this card I am definitely going to purchase this set for myself.  It’s so much nicer in person than it is in the catalog.  Here’s the card we made.

I started by embossing a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the card front to a Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Free Skate Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink on a Poppy Parade panel.  I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using the Heat Tool.  I cut the sentiment out using the stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies and the bow using the Detailed Skates Dies from the panel of Po9ppy Parade cardstock.  I cut the strip of holly leaves out of Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Detailed Skates Dies.  I cut 2 of the solid ice skates out and 2 of the detailed ice skates out using the Detailed Skates Dies from the Whisper White panel.  I cut 2 of the ice skate blades out of the Silver Foil Sheet using the Detailed Skates Dies.  I stamped the holly and berry image from the Free Skate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it in using Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampn’ Blends Markers.  I cut the holly image out using the Detailed Skates Dies.

To assemble everything, I adhered the detailed skate to the solid skate using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the  blades to the bottom of the skates using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the skates to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the Holly to the skate using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I adhered the bow above the skates on the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the strip of Holy leaves to the left of the skates using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the sentiment circle above the holly using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added a few Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Free Skate stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the holly and berry image from the Free Skate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by the sentiment and colored it in using my Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope by stamping the Holly and Berry image from the Free Skate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front and flap.  I colored them in using my Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The other project we made at our team meeting was this adorable Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box.

Everyone got to choose the Designer Series Paper we wanted to use.  This adorable little box is cut from one sheet of the Night Before Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper Stack using the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies.  It was so simple to put together too.  Fold up the sides and it’s done.  These boxed would make great little favors that you can fill with candy or a little keepsake.

The only stamping on this was the tag and holly berry image.  We stamped the holly and berry image from the Free Skate stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  We colored it in using the Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Markers and cut it out using the Detailed Skates Dies.  For the tag, we stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Tiny Keepsakes Cling Stamp Set in Poppy Parade Ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies.  We adhered the holly and berry to the tag using a Glue Dot and tied the tag to the box using some Mossy Meadow Linen Thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope you liked the projects that I shared with you.  I had a lot of fun making both projects and what made it even more fun was stamping with Team Members and friends. It’s great being a part of this team.  If you’re interested in joining our team, please contact me for more information.  I’d love to have you join us.  Happy Stamping!
