A Christmas Stacked Card with Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper

Hello everyone! 

Today I’m sharing another stacked card made with shapes from Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper.  

 

 

I wanted to show that you don’t have to use the same shape for each “level”!  With a scalloped rectangle die and a label die (all from Stitched So Sweetly Dies), this card came together very easily.  

The flower was cut from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper while the leaves were stamped onto Old Olive card stock with Garden Green ink.  Both the poinsettia and leaves were cut out with dies from Poinsettia Dies.  I used that same die set to cut out the Brass Foil berry sprigs which I tucked beneath the flower.

In the photo below, I show how the dies were laid out on the Poinsettia Place DSP panel.  For more instruction on how to prepare and assemble a stacked card, see this previous post.

 

I used a sentiment from Peace & Joy stamp set, “Merry Christmas”, stamping it with Real Red ink onto Whisper White card stock.  I used scissors to cut around each word.

The Old Olive ribbon is from All The Trimmings Ribbon Combo Pack and is wrapped around the card horizontally.  This package of gold-trimmed ribbon comes in both Old Olive and Real Red with 10 yards of each.  You can accent a lot of cards with that much ribbon!

Here is a listing of products I used to create this card and all are available from my online store.  Remember that during August 2020 when you place a $40 order (before shipping & taxes) using my host code 24CK4CVW, your name will be entered into my Mystery Hostess Drawing.  The winner will be drawn on September 1 and will get to spend the hostess $$ earned from all such orders!  Don’t miss out on a great chance at FREE product!!

Nothing’s Better Than a Menagerie Mix-Up and a Mystery Hostess!

On September 1, 2020, I will be drawing a name for a Mystery Hostess who will receive the free products that are earned with August orders of $40 or more, using host code 24CK4CVW.

How do you get your name in the drawing?  Just place an order from my online store in the amount of $40 (or more) before shipping & taxes AND use my host code!  There’s more information at the end of today’s post.

 

And now for today’s card!

One of the many stamp sets in the Christmas Mini Catalog that I instantly fell in love with was the Menagerie Mix-Up.  There are so many cute animals that could be made and I loved the catalog samples, but did I really need it?  Well…maybe not on the first order…..or the second….but it kept calling to me every time I’d see it in the catalog.  So on my most recent order, after going back & forth, back & forth, I finally squeezed my eyes shut and hit the “order” button! Done! And I’m so glad I did that!

In that same order, I also splurged on the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle and decided that I’d pair up the two sets for today’s card.  I’d already made a cookie card (which I’ll share on another day) and wanted to incorporate that cookie image with one of the animals.

I don’t know why I decided on a pig, I guess because that’s what I feel like after eating handfuls of cookies!!  However, there wasn’t a pig snout in the stamp set.  What?!?  The cow snout came the closest, so I masked off the nostrils and stamped the outline, then added the little circles that were cut with one of the Menagerie Dies.

Next I messed around with the ears, but my pig just didn’t look right.  He kept looking more like a cow.  So I used my bone folder to bend each ear so that they could flop over his face, and PRESTO, I had a pig!  My determination paid off!

The pig was stamped onto Blushing Bride card stock with Early Espresso ink and then I used the Menagerie Dies to cut the pieces out.  I stamped an extra body and then fussy cut (with scissors) the belly so that I could sponge around it with some Blushing Bride ink.  I also sponged around the snout and ears before assembling the pieces.

The cookies from Nothing’s Better Than stamp set were stamped onto a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with Early Espresso ink and then cut out with the coordinating die.  I used a Stampin’ Dimensional to attach a cookie to each of the pigs “hands”.

I adhered the pig & cookies to a Mint Macaron label that was cut with the Tasteful Labels Dies, stamping some grass across the bottom with Just Jade ink.  That label was glued to a Soft Sea Foam scalloped rectangle (So Sentimental Dies) that is embossed with Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.

I stamped the sentiment “You’re just like Cookies” around the outside edges of a Whisper White card base using Early Espresso ink. Then the pig panel was glued to the center of the card.

On the inside, I cut labels out of Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam, stamping the sentiment with Early Espresso ink on the smaller label.  I stamped some cookies with Early Espresso and Crumb Cake ink.

 

I can’t wait to try my hand at creating some more Menagerie Mix-Up cards!  I think there’s tons of potential for this adorable set and with a little imagination, the sky’s the limit!!

A Plush Poinsettia Beauty for Christmas

A new card…but FIRST, a story!

 

Hello Friends!  I hope you’re enjoying these last weeks of summer, spending time doing the things you love and care about.

David and I just returned from another camping trip over on the Oregon coast, staying first in Coos Bay and then heading North to Florence.  Our friends, Dave & Jen, joined us in Florence and we had so much fun that I really didn’t want to come home!

Prior to the trip, Jen and I decided to try our hand at cooking with a Dutch Oven.  So I purchased a cookbook to help with our task and packed it into our toyhauler.

After arriving at camp we decided on an easy dish, Macaroni & Cheese, from scratch of course! Jen and Dave ran to the store and got the items that we’d need.  This recipe should be easy, right?  In fact, we wondered if it would be too easy…maybe we should try something more difficult, but the plan was made and we went with it.

The cookbook said to use briquettes, so Dave was in charge of getting the coals hot, while my husband David was in charge of taking pictures.  We melted the butter, no problem, but after adding the milk and eggs, we discovered that the coals were no longer hot enough.  What to do, what to do??  We opted to build a fire, wait for a hot bed of coals and then proceed.

Probably not our best decision…

While we waited on the fire, the eggs began cooking (because the pan was still HOT!) and we worried that our mac & cheese would become cheesy scrambled eggs!  LOL

Finally we had a bed of hot coals, so we reheated the egg/milk/butter mixture and then began adding the cheddar cheese.  It melted quickly and then we added the whole wheat macaroni.  WELL!  The cheese started seizing up like chocolate is known to do, so we added milk and continued stirring…and adding more milk….and stirring some more.  (Insert lots of laughter during this process!!)

Once we got it all combined, we deemed it ready to eat.

While it tasted delicious, it was very dense, and if we had thrown a handful at a wall, I’m sure it would have stuck!  So much for an easy recipe 🙂  I think our problem was too much heat and we learned what NOT to do next time. Pioneer women we are not!

Dave taste tests for us and says it’s GOOD!

This is me tasting a bite…yup, it’s good!  (And don’t mind the hair—I’m camping!!!)

And if you’re wondering why the Mac & cheese is the only thing on our plates, none of us were really hungry, so we decided on just that!

 

Okay, so enough about Dutch oven cooking (until our next attempt!!).  Let’s take a look at what I’ve been doing in the craft room as we transition from camping to Christmas!

My card today is made with some of the same products that I showed on my previous post.  Poinsettia Petals stamp set and Poinsettia Dies were used, along with a background of Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. This plush paper is a thick vellum with white flocking and there are three different patterns in the pack of six sheets.

I placed the flocked paper onto a Poppy Parade card base, carefully putting glue where I knew it would be hidden, since glue tends to show through vellum.

The poinsettia is made up of three different sized flowers and then layered up to create one festive bloom.

All of the poinsettias were stamped with Early Espresso ink, with the largest flower being stamped onto Cherry Cobbler card stock. The medium poinsettia was stamped onto Real Red card stock and the smallest was stamped onto Poppy Parade.

The leaves were also stamped with Early Espresso ink onto Garden Green card stock and then the edges were sponged with Garden Green ink.

All of these stamped pieces were then cut out with Poinsettia Dies and then layered together.  On the center of the poinsettia is a Beaded Pearl which is available in the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog.

I cut a Very Vanilla label using Stitched Nested Labels Dies, then stamped a sentiment with Early Espresso ink on the right side.  I then assembled the card.

On the inside panel I stamped a sentiment and then fussy cut a poinsettia with foliage from a piece of the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper.  I glued the flower partially off the bottom right corner and then just trimmed the edges with scissors.

Elegant Poinsettia Petals for the Holidays

 

The wait is over!

The Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog (aka Christmas Mini) has started and you can now order from it!

 

It you’re not ready to think about Christmas, then how about Halloween or Fall?  Those seasons are quickly creeping up on us and it’s a good time to get your decorating, scrapbooking and card making supplies lined up, planned out and ordered!

My online store has just been updated with many new features, including larger images, easier navigation and a feedback button. Don’t be surprised by the new look, just look around and ENJOY!

I don’t usually jump right into Christmas, but I have definitely done so this year, completely skipping over the earlier seasons.  Don’t worry though, I’m sure I’ll come back to the Fall theme before long! 🙂

There’s just so much to love in this mini, from cute and whimsical to elegant beauty, this catalog has it all.  If you still do not have a copy of your own, please contact me so that I can get one to you!

 

 

Today’s card features two packs of designer series paper, as well as the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and dies.  The flower was fussy cut (with scissors) from a piece of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper, while the background is some of the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.  This plush paper is covered with a flocked design and is fuzzy, soft and yet so elegant!  By placing this flocked paper onto a card base of Very Vanilla, the white flocking stands out with it’s soft texture and design.  The pictures do not do it justice!

I played along with the Fusion Card Challenge, following the sketch rather than the photo.

 

 

I stamped the leaves from Poinsettia Petals stamp set with Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Garden Green card stock.  They were cut out with Poinsettia Dies.

The wood grain strip is also from the Poinsettia Place DSP and the sentiment is from Poinsettia Petals stamp set. To glam up my card, I finished with three Gilded Gems.

I stamped a sentiment on the Very Vanilla inside panel using Early Espresso ink and then decorated the bottom with another strip of the Poinsettia Place DSP.  I again fussy cut a flower and fir branches from the same pack of designer series paper.

 

If you love texture on your cards, you’ve gotta try some of this Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper!  There are 6 sheets of 3 different designs for your creativity.  I’ll be sharing more uses for this fantastic paper in the coming days, so please come back!  If you don’t want to miss any posts, you can subscribe to my blog.

Peace on Earth, Please!

With all of the going’s on that are happening in our world right now, this seems like the perfect time to wish and pray for peace on Earth.  

With products from both the Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog and the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog, I was able to create this simple and serene Christmas card.

I began with a Night of Navy card base measuring 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″.

The front panel was cut from a piece of Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.  

Using the new Joy Dies, I cut the word “Peace” from Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Silver Foil Sheet, layering them together.  I stamped “on earth” from Peace & Joy stamp set with Night of Navy ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut it out with scissors.

I used World Map Dies, cutting the stand from a Silver Foil Sheet, and the world from Night of Navy and Balmy Blue.  

On the inside of the card, I stamped “to you and yours” from the Peace & Joy stamp set using Night of Navy ink.  The fir sprigs are stamped with second generation ink (stamp off once) of the same color.  I cut and adhered a 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ strip of the Snowflake Splendor DSP.

While the issues that are currently going on in our world are very frightening and disturbing, this card is quite simple and is a reminder that we all must live on this planet together, so please, oh please, let there be peace on earth!

Please note that items from the Christmas Mini Catalog will not be available until August 4, 2020.  (It’s getting closer!!)

Poinsettia Place on the Diagonal

Using designer series paper creatively one sheet at a time…

I’m sure we’ve all looked at our gorgeous two-sided designer papers and struggled over which side to use, wishing you could use them both.  Let me show you how to make a simple cut that will solve that problem!

How to make a diagonal background…

 

With my easy-to-do diagonal cut, you’ll have the best of both worlds!  You’ll need to cut two panels (5 1/4″ x 4″ each) from the designer paper of choice (here I’ve used Poinsettia Place).

You can cut them together or separately, but it’s important either way to make sure one of each side is facing up.  In other words, cut one with the poinsettia side up and cut the other with the green side up.  Both pieces should be cut in the same direction.  For today’s card the pieces were cut from the top right corner to the bottom left corner.  You’ll end up with two sets, so make two cards!!

You can’t use just one panel of designer paper, because when you flip one triangle over, it’ll be in the wrong direction and you’ll only end up with a kite.  (If a kite is what you want, you’re in business!! LOL)

Once you have both pieces laid correctly, adhere them to a white panel that measures the same size or slightly smaller (5 1/4″ x 4″).  By doing this, it’s easier to get it evenly centered on the card base and it’s easier to wrap some ribbon around.

After wrapping a piece of Old Olive ribbon around my diagonal panel and taping each end on the back side, I then glued this panel to the Garden Green card base (8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, folded in half at 4 1/4″).

From another piece of the Poinsettia Place DSP, I used scissors to fussy cut a white flower and popped it up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A So Saffron sprig was cut with a die from Poinsettia Dies and glued behind the flower.   I stamped a sentiment from Poinsettia Petals stamp set using Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of So Saffron card stock and then cut it out with an Ornate Frames Die.  The sentiment is adhered below and to the left of the flower.

On the inside Whisper White panel, I stamped a sentiment using Early Espresso ink.  Using Garden Green ink, I stamped two holly leaves onto a scrap of Old Olive card stock, cutting them out with a die from Poinsettia Dies.  I cut some So Saffron “berries” using a flower center die from the same die set.  These pieces are positioned in the bottom left corner, adding just the right touch on the inside of a very simple card!

These gorgeous products are all from the new Christmas Mini Catalog (Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog) and can be ordered beginning August 4.  If you’ve been seeing lots of new items that you MUST have, start making a list and then place an order ASAP when the catalog goes live.  As you may recall, popular products often go into a back order status and you don’t want to have to wait to get your hands on these amazing goodies!!

How to Build a Gnome Home

How do you build a gnome home?

You build a gnome home with stamps from the new Christmas stamp set, Gnome for the Holidays, along with Nature’s Roots Dies!

To begin making this card, I lightly sponged a Whisper White panel (5 1/4″ x 4″) using Pool Party ink.

I then stamped the house, sentiment and gnome with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Stampin’ Blend Markers. (Colors are shown below in the product listing.)

I really felt like the gnome house needed a roof, so I looked through my stamps and dies to find just the right thing!  After trying a few different options, I had a winner.  The three leaves that I layered for the roof top are made with the smaller leaf dies from Nature’s Roots Dies.

 

I started by placing the leaf texture die onto a scrap of Old Olive card stock, running it through my die cut machine several times to make three leaves.  Then I placed the outline die around each textured leaf, cutting them out.  I used a sponge and some Old Olive ink to darken the edges of each leaf.

I played around with different placements until I liked the way it looked and then glued two leaves down. The third and center leaf is popped up over the other two leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used a black Stampin’ Write Marker to lengthen the tree lines, but in hindsight, I should have just placed the roof a bit lower.  

 

I finished off my card by stamping the inside…..

Now that you know how to build a gnome home, let’s take a look at the products I used!

Peek a Hoot, An Owl Christmas Card

From owl of us…

When you need to send a card from the whole gang, be it family, co-workers, a church group or other, this card fits the need!  With the wood grain background from Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper, this card looks to me like a tree full of owls.  So if you have a tree full of owls or a house full of nuts (LOL), sending this card would warm the recipients heart and home!

I began making this card by cutting the wood grain DSP into a panel measuring 5″ x 3 3/4″.  I centered the triple label die from Peek-a-Hoot Dies and ran it through my die cutting machine.

Next, I used temporary adhesive and placed this mat onto a Soft Suede panel which measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.  I placed these pieces into the corner of my Stamparatus and secured it with one of the included magnets.  Then I positioned each owl stamp over the die cut “windows”, stamping side down.  Once I had all three stamps where I wanted them, I closed the lid of the Stamparatus, picking up the stamps in the exact position that I had them.

I removed the wood grain DSP from the Soft Suede panel, rubbing off any remaining temporary adhesive, and then secured the Soft Suede panel back into the Stamparatus, making sure it was in the corner (same position as before).  I inked up all three stamps with a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and then closed the Stamparatus lid, pressing firmly to transfer the ink.

After removing this panel from the Stamparatus, I set it aside and placed a Whisper White panel into the same spot in the Stamparatus.  Inking once again with the black pad, I again stamped the owls.  Removing this panel, I then colored the owls using my Stampin’ Blend Markers in Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral (feet & beaks), Poppy Parade and Pool Party.

Once colored, the owls were ready to be die cut with the Peek-a-Hoot Dies and then were adhered over the top of the coordinating images on the Soft Suede panel.

 

When the owls were glued into place, I positioned the wood grain panel onto the owl panel and glued it down.  This was then adhered to a Pool Party card base (8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, folded in half at 4 1/4″).

On a scrap of Poppy Parade card stock, I stamped the sentiment with black ink and die cut it with a label from Ornate Frames Dies.  With Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back side of the label, I adhered it onto the card front.

The final accent on the card front was three Wonderful Gems which have gold flecks in them, adding a bit of shimmer to the card.

 

On the inside Whisper White panel (5 1/4″ x 4″), I stamped “Merry Christmas” with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then traced around the words with the Pool Party (dark) Stampin’ Blend Marker.  I die cut a little tree sprig from Peek-a-Hoot Dies and glued it below the sentiment.

 

 

Below is a listing of products used, however, the Have a Hoot bundle, Poinsettia Place DSP and Wonderful Gems cannot be ordered until August 4, when the mini catalog goes live.  Please use my current host code, shown below, when ordering.  If your order is $150 or more, DO NOT use the host code so that you can receive hostess benefits (aka FREE stuff!)

Peace & Joy Christmas Gnome

It’s time for some Christmas gnomes!

I have never owned a gnome themed stamp set, but when I saw Stampin’ Up’s new Gnome for the Holidays stamp set, I just had to have it!  These adorable little creatures are fun to color using Stampin’ Blend Markers and are cute enough to accent just about any Christmas card.  I expect that you’ll be seeing lots of these cuties on my blog in the coming weeks and months!

 

Today’s card was my first for using the Peace & Joy Bundle which has the layered word dies as seen with “Bright”.  To make the word layers, I first stamped “Bright” onto Pool Party card stock using Coastal Cabana ink.

 

The Joy Dies have three different dies for each of the words, “Bright”, “Joy” and “Peace”.

 

 

I cut the largest “Bright” die from Misty Moonlight card stock.  Then, the stamped word that is on Pool Party card stock, was cut out with the medium die and finally the detailed die was cut from Poppy Parade card stock.

The Poppy Parade “Bright” covers much of the stamped word, but allows a shadow of the Coastal Cabana ink to show.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut the background from Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper, which is absolutely gorgeous paper! There are twelve different snow themed papers designed with Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Pool Party and Whisper White.  Such soothing colors!

This Peace & Joy Christmas Gnome card was quick & easy to make with very little stamping and a few quick die cuts!  

Products that I used are shown below, however, the stamp sets, dies and designer paper cannot be ordered until August 4, when the new “Christmas Mini Catalog” goes live. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, YOU would be able to order these products a month before the general public…consider joining my Regal Stampers Team today!  More details on how to join my team as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator can be found here.

Have a Hoot Christmas Shaker Card with Tutorial

 

Let me introduce a couple more really nice stamp sets from the new Stampin’ Up! Christmas Mini Catalog.  Peace & Joy offers words with dies while Have a Hoot is…you guessed it…all about OWLS!

Have a Hoot Christmas Shaker Card with Tutorial…

I decided to make a fun shaker card and began with a Coastal Cabana panel, cutting a window with a die from Peek-a-Hoot Dies.  I had to position everything “just so” on the Big Shot because the die actually cuts three windows (or tags) and I only wanted one.  So by placing the card stock and die near the front edge of the cutting plate, with the parts that I didn’t want to cut hanging off the edge, I was able to only cut the one window.

After the window was cut, I randomly stamped some star burst images from Peace & Joy onto the panel using Bermuda Bay ink.  (And I forgot this step when I was making the instructions! Oopsie!)

I then securely taped a piece of Window Sheet over the window from the backside.  It is just slightly larger than the die cut opening.

I used Foam Adhesive Strips to create a frame around the outer edges of the window on the backside, to create a void where the shaker Snowflake Sequins would later be contained.

On a Whisper White panel that was slightly larger than the shaker window opening, I stamped the row of owls using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the owls with Stampin’ Blend Markers in Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade and Soft Suede.

I put approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the Snowflake Sequins on top of the owls, right in the center, and then peeled off the backing on the Foam Adhesive Strip frame and laid it down over the owls, centering the owls (along with the sequins) within the window.

 

Once the sequins are trapped within the “frame” it is time to adhere the entire panel to the card base.

I added some more of the Foam Adhesive Strips around the outside edge on the back of the window panel.  This gives the entire panel an even base once it’s placed onto the card front.

 

Once I had the adhesive strips around the outer edge, I simply removed the backing and carefully positioned this panel onto the card front.  Press firmly.

I finished the front of the card with a Poppy Parade strip of card stock that was punched with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and placed onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped, colored and cut the single owl and placed him at the end of the punched label.

 

Here is a listing of the products used, just please remember that the Christmas Mini items cannot be ordered until August 4, 2020.
