12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Christmas - So Many Stars

Good Morning Everyone!  Happy Wednesday!  GOLLY...I've been gone for a bit!  I had a lovely time with my three girls...at football games, church bazaar's, Yosemite for the day, visiting our old church, dinner and coffee with old friends...it was wonderful!  Then...to top it off, my husband came home from Montana a few days early and has been off so I've been hanging out with him! 

It's week SEVEN of 12 Weeks of Stampin' Up! Christmas this week and I have a GREAT card to share with you!  It's wonderful for Christmas...but also for birthdays, graduations, congrats and more!  I hope you'll give it a try!

ICS Blog Hop - Monochromatic

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop! I'm glad you stopped by! Our theme this month is Monochromatic and I had a lot of FUN with it! 

I used the So Many Stars Bundle which includes the So Many Stars stamp set and the Stitched Stars Dies for my card. Gray Granite is one of my FAVORITE colors so I used it along with Whisper White.  I add a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets to bling it up a bit.  Looking at it now I think a bit of Wink of Stella would look great on there as well!  What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by this evening!  I hope you'll hop along with us tonight!

·         Stamp Pads – Memento Tuxedo Black (132708)

·         Misc. – Stampin’ Blends Pool Party Combo (144605); Stampin’ Blends Light Smoky Slate (145054); Stampin’ Blends Light Pumpkin Pie (144578); Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (150393); Diagonal Stripe Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler (150439); Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder (150645); Starburst Punch (143717); 2” Circle Punch (133782); Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108); Snail Adhesive (104332); Mini Glue Dots (103683); Paper Snips (103579); Embossing/Die Cutting Machine

Measurements: 

·         Thick Whisper White Cardstock: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

·         Whisper White Cardstock: 4” x 2 ½” for sentiment and 2” circle punch

·         Cherry Cobbler Cardstock: 5 ¼” x 4”

·         Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper: 2” x 4” for banner and a scrap piece approx. 2 ½” for starburst punch

           

Instructions:

1.    Emboss the Cherry Cobbler layer with the Winter Knit embossing folder and add it to the front of the thick Whisper White Card with snail adhesive.

2.    Cut a flag banner at the bottom of the 2” x 4” piece of Designer Paper with your paper snips and add it to the front of your card with snail adhesive.  

3.    Stamp the sentiment and snowman image on Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black Ink. Punch the snowman out with the 2” circle punch and cut the sentiment out with your paper snips. Color the snowman with Stampin’ Blends. I used the light Pumpkin Pie for his nose, light Pool Party for the snowman, and Smoky Slate for the snow and outline of the snowman. Then I used the light Pool Party to make dots of snow on the sentiment.

4.    Punch some Designer Paper using the Starburst Punch. The print I used is the backside of the snowman one shown on the banner.

5.    Make a faux bow with the Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and tack it down on the card front with Mini Glue Dots. (I don’t really tie a bow so that it’s not bulky) Attach the snowman image to your Starburst Punched shape with snail and pop it up over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  

6.    Add the cut sentiment pieces with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have a WONDERFUL day and life goes smoothly!  Come back this evening at 6:00pm (PST) for the Inspire, Create, Share blog hop!  It will be lots of FUN!

Well...enough PROUD MAMA moments!  It's time for this weeks "Make-It Monday" tutorial!

"Make-It Monday": CHRISTMAS GLEAMING gift card holder card created using Stampin' Up! products
All images © 1990-2019 Stampin’ Up!® 

Supplies:

• Stamp Set – Christmas Gleaming Bundle (153006)
• Card Stock – Thick Very Vanilla (144237); Pretty Peacock (150880); Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Paper (150429); Copper Foil Sheets (142020)
• Stamp Pads – Pretty Peacock (150083); Night of Navy (147110); Versamark Pad (102283)
• Miscellaneous – 1” Circle Punch (119868); 2 ¼” Circle Punch (143720); Layering Circles Dies (141705); Tufted 3D Embossing Folder (146335); Aqua Painters (103954); Embossing Buddy (103083); Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder (141636); Heat Tool (129053); Tear & Tape Adhesive (138995); Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (144108); Stampin' Dimensionals (104430); Die Cutting & Embossing Machine

        
Measurements:  

• Thick Very Vanilla (base): 4 ¼” x 11”, score at 5 ½”
• Thick Very Vanilla – scrap
• Pretty Peacock – 3 ½” x 3 ½”
• Copper Foil – 4” x 4”
• Designer Paper – 3” x 12”, score at 5 ½” & 9 ½”

Instructions:

1. Emboss the card base using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder.
2. Fold up the lower half of the designer paper so the opposite pattern is showing to create a pocket. Use the 1” Circle Punch to make a notch in the center of the designer paper. Adhere the pocket closed using Tear & Tape.
3. Adhere the designer paper to the front and inside base of the cardstock as shown.
4. Punch a 2 ¼” circle using Pretty Peacock cardstock. Emboss using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder.
5. Die cut a slightly larger circle than the Pretty Peacock cardstock using the Copper Foil Sheet and the Layering Circles Dies. Adhere it to the Pretty Peacock cardstock. Adhere these layers to the left side of the designer paper using Dimensionals.
6. Lightly rub the Very Vanilla scrap cardstock with the Embossing Buddy. Stamp the ornament image using Versamark in on Thick Very Vanilla scrap cardstock. Immediately cover with copper embossing powder and heat set. Punch the ornament out using the coordinating punch.
7. Using the Aqua Painter and Pretty Peacock ink, color in the ornament. Color in the topper of the ornament using Night of Navy ink. Ink will resist where there is heat embossing so after the cardstock has dried, blog the image using a clean, dry cloth to remove the water/ink from the copper embossed lines. Adhere the ornament to the center of the circle layers using a combination of Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals.
8. Stamp the greeting using Night of Navy ink on Thick Very Vanilla scrap cardstock. Cut around the perimeter of the greeting using your scissors. Adhere the greeting, overlapping the ornament as shown, using Mini Dimensionals.
9. Insert the gift card inside the pocket on the inside of the card.

Hello friends!  HAPPY FRIDAY!  My husband left today for Montana with a friend and two of our sons.  They are going hunting!  My husbands not a big hunter, but it's great spending time with our adult kids!  So I'm home (with only my daughter) for about two weeks!  THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED!  I think I'll clean one day...and all the rest I'll be in my workshop...CREATING!!

Today I have a really fun and cute Christmas box to share with you!

I used the Tags Tags Tags Bundle to stamp and cut the CUTE tag along with a Kraft Pillow Box to make this FUN gift box!  I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink and colored the bird with a Light Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend.  I tied the top of the box together with Poppy Parade Textured Weave Ribbon and Blueberry Bushel Grosgrain Ribbon! SUPER EASY and SUPER CUTE!  You can make a bunch of these so easily!
