Stampin’ Up! Season’s Of Fun Christmas

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend and Halloween. How many or you love Halloween? I have to admit, it’s not my favorite holiday, but I do love seeing the little ones dressed up. We don’t get many trick or treaters at my house.

Today’s card I made last night at out team Mystery Stamping. My upline Jaimie started doing a Mystery Stamping night once a month with our team. She gives us the measurements of cardstock and DSP. We have to pick the colors, image(s), sentiment and DSP we want to use. Here is what I came up with for Mystery Stamping night.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Season’s of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card. This stamp set is only available for orders over $150 or if you host a party. If you’d like more information about hosting a party, I’d be more than happy to talk to you about it and set up a Host Code for you. Drop me a not at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk.

I started by embossing a Soft Succulent card front using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. This is a small embossing folder, so I had to emboss one side of the cardstock, then move the paper over and emboss the other side. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the center of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Evening Evergreen, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Soft Succulent and Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the images using my Paper Snips. I adhered another panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the fussy cut images to the bottom of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. In the layout that Jaimie was telling us to do, we were suppose to adhered the image to the top of the layered panel, mine just wasn’t going to work that way so I had to switch it around.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on the Basic White panel and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the top of the layered panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a small bow using the Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and adhered it toe the card front using a Glue Dot. I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Merry Snowflakes Cling Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel and colored the images in the same as I did for the card front. I stamped the snowflake image from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Misty Moonlight Ink around the girl and dog images, stamping off once. I adhered the Basic White panel to an Evening Evergreen mat and then to the inside of the Soft Succulent card base.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the little girl and dog images from the Season’s of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Tidings of Christmas DSP to the envelope flap.

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

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the Halloween image from the Season of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink.

I cut a scalloped circle from a panel of Basic Black cardstock using the Layered Circles Dies and adhered the artwork to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! A Wish For Everything Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Using my Double Oval Punch I punched out the sentiment. I punched out a Basic Black scalloped oval using the Double Oval Punch and adhered the sentiment to it using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Pumpkin Pie Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun 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. If you are hopping over from Akiko Sudano’s blog, thank you for stopping by my blog. This week we have a Theme Challenge. Be sure to take a moment to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects. Here is my card using this weeks Theme.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Seasons of Fun Host Cling Stamp Set along with the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Our Theme this week is Autumn/Harvest.

I started by adhering a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White cardstock I stamped the fall image from the Seasons of Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using my Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Ivory, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. The die wasn’t the size that I wanted, so I cut the top half, moved the die to the size I wanted lining up the stitches, turned the image and cut the bottom half. I adhered the artwork to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal then to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using my Playful Alphabet Dies, I cut the letters from a panel of Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow cardstocks. I adhered the letters together making a shadow effect using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the letters to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beauty of Tomorrow Cling Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow Ink. I stamped the large splotch image from the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves Cling Stamp Set in Cajun Craze Ink, stamping off once, over the sentiment . I stamped the small trio of leaves image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the corners of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Cajun Craze mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To complete my card I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the small leaf image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Beauty of The Earth DSP to the envelope flap.
