Friday Friend Share

Here's a card that my friend Jeannie created. It's a Southwest Christmas! It's all decked out with snow and a wreath and ready for Christmas.

I don't know what company created this stamp.

Here's a Stampin' Up! Wreath stamp set.

Wondrous Wreath

 

Ho Ho Ho Christmas Banner

Hello,
Today I want to share with you the Christmas banner that we made in class this month.

Most of the supplies are Stampin' Up!, but there are a couple of other products that I used.

I cut the pennants from Cherry Cobbler card stock using the Top Note die, but if you want to make your banner like this one you will need to spray your paper with glitter spray and then seal it with a fixative to prevent the glitter from coming off.

I used my Cricut and the Don Juan cartridge to cut the H from 3 different colors of paper from the Trim The Tree paper stack. I also cut shadows for the H from Brushed Gold card stock.

I also cut the two gold circles from the Brushed Gold card stock. The snowman is made from Whisper White card stock.

The wreath is stamped using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and die cut with the matching framelits. I added a Cherry Cobbler seam binding bow. Add rhinestones to the middles of the flowers to make them sparkle. Color the rhinestones with Blendabilities.

The scarf on the snowman is made with Cherry Cobbler seam binding that is frayed on both ends. His hat is made with the large oval punch. The green and small black layers were created by repunching the ovals to make them slightly smaller.

The ornament has a silver foil paper band (doesn't look silver in the photo though) and the cap was created with the silver foil paper that has been put through the crimper (retired Stampin' Up!). I used a craft store swirl of rhinestones to bling it up.

I strung the pennants on gold Baker's Twine and then tied on pieces of 1/8" gold ribbon.

The letters and circles are all cut at 3 1/2".

Thanks for stopping by today,

Wondrous Wreath Elegance Card

Well, I guess it is about time I get back to my blogging. I have been busy teaching stamping classes, teaching 2nd graders and volunteering with an after school homework club. Now it's time to share some stamping.

I created several cards with Stampin' Up! stamps that weren't Christmas stamps. This one is not obvious because it does use Christmas stamps from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog.

I stamped the Apothecary label in gold on Cherry Cobbler card stock and then embossed it with gold. 

I also stamped the same stamp on Whisper White with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut out only the banner. Then I embossed the Sentiment on it again using the gold ink and the gold embossing powder. 

I Stamped the Wondrous Wreath, die cut it and layered it onto the label with dimensionals. Then I layered the sentiment, also using dimensionals.

I think it looks rather elegant and like the way it turned out.

Wondrous Wreath Card

Here's another way that the Wondrous Wreath can be colored. It is Pool Party and Silver with Coastal Cabana berries and bow. The snowman is from the White Christmas set.

There are many color combination possibilities with this wreath. I can see it being used for so many different occasions (spring, baby cards, Easter).

The background was difficult for me to photograph. It is silver foil paper and wants to flash back at me. I think I took this one without the flash so it wouldn't have bright spots.

Paper: Whisper White card stock, Pool Party card stock, Silver Foil paper
Ink: Silver Encore, Poot Party, Coastal Cabana
Stamps: Wondrous Wreath, White Christmas
Other: Stylish Stripes embossing folder, Wonderful Wreath framelits dies

I will be announcing the winner of the blog candy tomorrow (Monday, Sept.1) so stay tuned!

Happy Stampers Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Blog Hop

 

 Hello!

Welcome to our Blog Hop, thanks for stopping by.

I have two fall projects (and a bonus) created with the Wondrous Wreath stamp set. I wanted to show you that this set is versatile. You can use it for more than Christmas projects. It just takes a little switching out of the colors.

In this case I chose to use the baby wipe technique because it allows me to add spots of color quickly without coloring in each individual leaf.  I like to make multiple cards at one time when I am using this technique so that I get the best use of my supplies.

I stamped the kraft paper background with the acorn trio from the "For All Things" stamp set. I used VersaMark watermark ink.

For the banner I used the banner and sentiment from the "For All Things" stamp set. I used Hello Honey ink and stamped off once before stamping the banner onto Whisper White card stock. I used Rich Razzleberry ink for the sentiment, also for the ribbon and Rich Razzleberry card stock for the small pennant.The ribbon is 1/8" Crushed Curry Taffeta.

_______________________________________________________________________

The second project is a bag topper. I used a cellophane bag, but the kraft paper bags in the catalog would be cute too! Do you like the foggy effect on the bag? That is what happens when the room temperature is over 90 degrees and the cookies come out of the freezer and straight into the bag! It's a frosty effect, just for fall ☺.

I used the Tangelo Twist ink for the ribbon on this wreath. I punched a circle of Rich Razzleberry card stock and attached it behind the wreath so that it would 'pop'. For this project I chose the gold Baker's twine as the ribbon. I attached it to a base created with Kraft paper and the Window Frames collection framelit which is stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink and the swirl stamp from Everything Eleanor.

________________________________________________________________________

For the bonus project I created a place card holder that is also a treat box.I used kraft paper, my pre-made wreath (remember, I stamped all the wreaths at once to get the most out of my supplies), and Hello Honey 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

It is quite easy and would really look cute on a Thanksgiving table next to each place setting.

These are the products I used for both of these projects:

Kraft card stock #133674

Very Vanilla card stock #101650

Rich Razzleberry card stock #115316

Just a real quick post so that I can get this posted on Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge site.

I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and the For All Things stamp set. The first set is in the annual catalog and the last 2 are in the new holiday catalog.

I used Very Vanilla card stock for the bottom layer on the card front then I stamped the leaves on Whisper white card stock. I stamped the house with Jet Black Sazon and watercolored it with an aqua painter and ink. I stamped the trees and then colored the leaves in with cotton swabs.
 

 Happy Stamping!
