Wrapped in Warmth meets Pretty Pines


Here is a gorgeous Holiday Card for you today!  We made this card at our Card Class recently - everyone loved it :).

Ok, on to our card.....



We start our card with an Emerald Envy card base, then added a layer of Cherry Cobbler card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder.  If you haven't tried this embossing folder yet, you really need to!  It honestly turns our card stock into a beautiful cable knit sweater - you have to see it to believe it!

Next, we stamped "Wishing You a Season Filled with Warmth & Cheer" from the Wrapped in Warmth Stamp Set on a 2" wide strip of Whisper White card stock and punched the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

We also added a piece of the Warmth & Cheer Washi Tape to the bottom of our tag.

Finally we tied an Emerald Envy Baker's Twine bow around the Burlap Ribbon and added a Mini Pinecone to the baker's twine bow.  These little pinecones are just so cute!

Here's a cute treat I made for each person that attended a Customer Appreciation Event that was held earlier this fall.  I also gave them to each of my club members!  I got the idea from Erica Cerwin at our Creative Convention a few months ago.  This reindeer has been such a big hit this year!




We start this project with a piece of 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" Cherry Cobbler card stock.

Score the short side at 1/2".

Score the long side at 1", 1 1/2", 2", 3 3/4", 4 1/4" and 4 3/4".

Fold along all score lines.  Then, accordian-fold the sides and adhere the back seam with Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape.  Fold the bottom along the 1/2" score mark and adhere to the back with Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape.

Petals & Paisleys Scrapbook Pages


Happy Thanksgiving to You!!!!

In honor of Thanksgiving today, I thought I'd share some scrapbook pages we made last month at our Scrapbook Class.  These pages would be perfect to fill with pictures and memories you make today!





Our first page starts with a Rich Razzleberry base, then we added a strip of the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the side of our page.  I love the cute (tiny) fall flowers, leaves and acorns on this paper!
Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper  142017  $13.00




Next, we added a Delightful Dijon ribbon along the side of the DSP and made a bow at the bottom of our page.  This ribbon is so easy to work with (and makes beautiful bows, don't you think??).


We also stamped those fun paisleys (from the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set) in Rich Razzleberry ink along the bottom of our page.


3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack  142021  $11.00



Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer Stamp Set  142196  $21.00



At the top corner of our page, we added a piece of Delightful Dijon card stock, then layered a piece of Very Vanilla card stock over it.  We also embossed our Very Vanilla piece using the Pretty Paisleys Embossing Folder.

Then, we stamped "Thankful Grateful Blessed" from the Paisleys & Posies Set in Rich Razzleberry ink and die cut this piece with our Layering Oval Framelits.  We also stamped those beautiful flowers (also from the Paisleys &  Posies set) in Night of Navy, Delightful Dijon and Cajun Craze ink an die-cut them with the coordinating Paisley Framelits.  This stamp set and framelits are 10% off when you buy them together in the bundle!

Layering Oval Framelits  141706  $35.00



Paisleys & Posies Bundle  143515  $45.00


And here's a look at our next page.....


We start this page with a Delightful Dijon base, then added another strip of the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the side of our page.  We also added a strip of Very Vanilla card stock along the edge of our DSP to make it pop.




At the top of our page, we stamped more fun images from the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set in Delightful Dijon ink and also added a piece of Night of Navy card stock that we stamped with a few more paisleys.




And...  at the bottom corner of our page, we added a piece of the gorgeous (I can't get enough of it!) Night of Navy and Copper Embossed Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

We also added a strip of the Very Vanilla and Copper Embossed Polka Dot DSP (from the same pack of paper) to the Night of Navy piece.  Then, we added a strip of the Copper Foil Sheets and tied a Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim bow around this piece.

Finally, we die-cut a Night of Navy and Very Vanilla Paisley using our Paisley Framelits, then added them to our copper embossed piece.  I love how these images, stamps and framelits all work so well together - that's the beauty of coordination with Stampin' Up products :).

Paisleys & Posies... Thankful Grateful Blessed


This was such a great card to make!!  I saw it on Erica Cerwin's Pink Buckaroo blog a little while ago - it was so much fun to work with the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper on this card!

Read on to learn all about it!!



We start our card with a Night of Navy card base, then added a layer of Whisper White card stock.  Next, we added a layer of the Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper (DSP) to our card.



Before we actually added this DSP layer to our card, we stamped it with the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set in Versamark ink, then embossed the stamps with Clear Embossing Powder and our Heat Tool.



Versamark Ink Pad  102283  $8.50
Fancy Frost Designer Series Paper  142014  $13.00



Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer Stamp Set  142196  $21.00



Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder  109130  $5.00



Heat Tool  129053  $30.00



Next, we lightly sponged Night of Navy ink on our DSP with our Sponge Daubers - notice how it accents the diagonal stripes of the DSP and doesn't stick to the embossed images.  It's so cool - and something I never would have thought to do!  Thanks so much to Erica Cerwin for this fabulous idea :)


Sponge Daubers  133773  $5.00



Then, we stamped "Thankful Grateful Blessed" and one of the cute flower medallions (both from the Paisleys & Posies Stamp Set) in Night of Navy ink on another strip of Whisper White card stock,  We die-cut our flower medallion with the coordinating Paisley Framelits.  You can buy the stamp set and framelits separately, or save 10% when you buy the bundle!


Paisley Framelits  141849  $29.00



Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer Bundle  143515  $45.00




Finally, we added a Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine bow around our card and accented our flower medallion with a Calypso Coral Enamel Shape.  And that's the beauty of Stampin' Up products - that color coordination among product lines that helps create simple, beautiful cards with ease!



Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine  138412  $3.50



Subtles Enamel Shapes  141679  $9.00 (on sale in a bundle today only!!) -
