Thanks for stopping by this month’s Christmas themed blog hop. I chose to do simple and non traditional. Using a standard A2 card base in Crushed Curry.
You can take it up to the next level adding Wink of Stella and gems if desired.
Welcome to this months Stamp It Christmas holiday blog hop.
It’s officially countdown to Christmas and year end. Where did the year go?? It’s also
Tis’ the season to be???
busy
stressed
cooking/baking
shopping
I hope you get to add some crafting and creating during these last weeks of 2022. I’m trying to do quite a few handmade gifts this year. Lets hope I can get a few done. That includes my Christmas cards.
Today I’m featuring the Fitting Florets suite that is currently available. Good News!! There are items from this suite that will be carrying over to the mini catalog coming out in January. I like the font used in the Framed and Festive cling stamp set.
You can see that I used the Fa-la-la to create a background in Real Red. The oval frame is two part. It cuts the center oval out and it cuts the frame or ring as well. I made one cut using vellum for the center. To coordinate with the card base, I cut again in Evening Evergreen to create my frame. I heat embossed the silver Tis the season to be jolly. I die cut the florets in silver foil. (Shhh don’t tell my teammates. Foils are sacred in my craft room. It really is a love/hate relationship.)

Hello and welcome to this months Christmas in July blog hop. I am featuring the Christmas Scottie bundle with a simple yet different cut.
The card base is 11-1/2”x 4-1/4” scored at 5-1/2”. Then cut the top 2-1/8” x 5-1/2” and save for later add-on project. You can now run the bottom 2-1/8” x 5-1/2” through the embossing folder of your choice. For this card I used the Gingham design.
The save for later cut piece now becomes a gift tag.

WOW!! Where has this year gone? Here we are in November already and as I bought my turkey last night, the month is almost over.
“For the young the days go fast and the years go slow; for the old the days go slow and the years go fast.”
I wanted to showcase a bit of non traditional yet festive. I think the Whimsy and Wonder Suite and Bright Baubles Bundles does just that.
DETAILS: I cut my card bases to be 4.25” x 5.50” in basic white. I then cut a basic white layer into be 1/4” smaller. Die cut the bauble FIRST. By cutting the babble/ornament first and then embossing allows the dimension of the snowflakes from the Wintry 3D embossing folder to be retained.
I cut my first strip with the holly and last strip with the snowflakes in 3/4” strips to ensure you were able to see the detail of the paper. The glitter strips were cut in 1/4” strips to not take away from the overall card but provide additional medium and pop. I know the Blushing Bride glitter is retired but I tend to hoard my paper and it’s a great match for the Whimsy and Wonder suite. The remaining DSP cut into 1/2” strips.
I then heat embossed my greeting in Silver as my finishing touch. I just love how the card glimmers in the light.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you are now inspired to craft today. Don’t forget to comment #stampitcontest for your entry into this month’s drawing for
I’m excited to give you a small introduction to the Whimsy and Wonder Suite that will be available in the July – December Mini Catalog releasing on August 3, 2021. Note: I will update the product links when the catalog goes live.
I have to say, I had mixed feelings about this suite at first. I liked the whimsy trees, I liked some of the color combinations but I wasn’t sure of the combination together. Now I can’t wait to create more with it. The hardest part will be using the DSP. (I’m working on that problem in general Ha-Ha!)
Look at this Holly paper!!
Berries in Blushing Bride
Leaves in Mossy Meadow and Mint Macaron
Hint a Holographic trim
How do you get over cutting it, putting adhesive on it and covering it up to display the other side. I could use my paper with a little less stress if they banned double sided DSP.
Here’s a sneak peek at the trees. Originally, I thought I was going to die cut one or more trees to use. So I arranged on my scrap to do all at once. Might see a few more in the background. 😉 As I looked at the other stamps, 🐿 squirrel moment 🐿 I instantly envisioned the word Joy for my tree topper. As my card has had a moment to ‘rest’, I think it needs more around my tree. It might be snow or gems.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek.

Welcome to the Stamp It Christmas Blog Hop. Today I’m keeping it #SimpleStamping with the Snowman Season set. Though not used, there is the Snowman Builder Punch.
These cards were created as the growing popular slimline cards. The bases in Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight measure 8” x 9”, scoring the 8” side at 4”. This allows for a finished card of 4”x9” to fit in a standard #10 envelope. The white stamped layer was cut at 7 1/2” x 8”.
On each card I enhanced with a little water coloring using the new Water Painters.
The Santa hats were stamped using A Merry Hello Host set available in the August – December 2020 catalog for $10.00 with qualifying purchase.
