Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly CAS for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Thursday morning my stamping friends welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I hope everyone is doing well today. I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. Here is my card using this week’s Colors.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves Of Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week. I changed the Garden Green to Evening Evergreen for my card.

My design is from Try Stamping On Tuesday Challenge #578.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Evening Evergreen card base. I adhered a smaller panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to an Evening Evergreen mat.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the detailed berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink in the corner of the panel. I stamped the berry fill image in Real Red Ink over the detailed image. I masked the berries using a Post-It note that I had stamped and fussy cut the berries on. I stamped the small holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink on either side of the berries. I adhered the sentiment to the matted DSP panel.

I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I stamped the fill image in Real Red Ink. I masked the berries using a Post-It note and stamped the small holly leaf image from Leaves of Holly stamp set in Evening Evergreen Ink.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the holly and berry images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline

Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends. I hope your week has started well. I’ve got a busy one ahead of me. Today is my only day off and I’ll be working the next 6 days straight. Maybe I’ll be surprised, and they won’t schedule me for Sunday.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our quarterly team meeting a couple weeks ago. This one was designed by another one of our team members Darryl Robbins. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Bundle along with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today. This was the first time I’ve made a Slimline card and I think it came out pretty good since I didn’t know what I was doing.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering a panel of Boughs of Holly DSP to a Cherry Cobbler mat. I adhered the layered panel to the panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panels to the 1 7/8″ section of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Holly Berry Dies, I cut the holly frame die from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the sentiment out using the Holly Berry Dies. I adhered the holly frame to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the sentiment inside the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock, I stamped the smaller holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I cut the leaves out using the Holly Berry Dies. On the panel of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink and cut them out with the Holly Berry Dies. I adhered the leaves to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the berries over the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside. I stamped the holly leaf images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the top of a Basic White panel. I stamped the berry image by the holly leaves in Cherry Cobbler Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cherry Cobbler mat and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink on a panel of Basic White cardstock. I cut the 2 ends on an angle using my Paper Snips. I adhered a piece of the Natural 1/2″ Woven Ribbon on the bottom of the panel using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the sentiment over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I colored 2 of the Textural Elements using the Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Textural Elements on either side of the panel where I wanted the easel to stand using Glue Dots on the berry parts.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Slimline 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Slimline Envelope. I stamped the holly leaf images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink and the berry image in Cherry Cobbler Ink on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Z-Fold

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone’s week going? We’re already halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

Today’s card is another one that we made at our in-person quarterly meeting this past Sunday. This one was designed by Carol Buckalew who is from Delaware. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Z-Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Bundle along with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Z-Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by adhering 2 panels of Boughs of Holly DSP to the first 2 sections of the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly Z-Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the Holly Berry Dies I cut 2 solid leaves and 2 detailed leave from panels of Brushed Metallic Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly CAS

Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday was such a rainy day here, but we needed it. I went up to my team leaders for our quarterly meeting, which is always so much fun. We stamped 3 different cards using the same set, got to chat a bit and see all the team member from all over the US via Zoom. Here is one of the cards we made yesterday. This one was designed by Akiko Sudano and I just LOVE it. If you have a lot of cards to make to send out this Christmas season, this is a perfect one that can be duplicated very easily.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly Photopolymer Stamp Set to make my card today using just Stamps, Ink and Paper. I did add a little embellishment too.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I started by stamping the solid berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set on the bottom left corner in Real Red Ink. I stamped the detailed berry image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Cherry Cobbler Ink over the solid stamped image. I stamped the solid berry image on a piece of Masking Paper and fussy cut the image using my Paper Snips.

I covered the berries with the Masking Paper. I stamped the large, detailed holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink along the bottom of the panel. I stamped the solid holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. I stamped the smaller holly leaf image from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Shaded Spruce Ink along the side of the panel. I stamped the smaller solid holly leaf image in Shaded Spruce Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image.

I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat. I adhered the layered panel to a Shaded Spruce card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Real Red Ink on a panel of Basic Whtie cardstock. I stamped the berries and small holly leaf images from the Leaves of Holly stamp set on the top of the panel the same as I did for the card front.
