A Collection of Quilts

Merry Christmas Everyone! The boys and I are at my mom's house in Indiana snuggling up to stay warm and enjoying our lazy day. Today's card is the last of my Christmas cards to share with you this year. Simply make a quilt from all the little pieces! In this case, I used the smallest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits set and die cut 12 squares for each card. If you look, I ended up die cutting 96 squares to make this collection. A lot of cranking! But it was worth it create this amazing collection of cards. And I used use a ton of small scraps laying around. Win win!

I played around with a few designs and color schemes before settling on this fun and wintery shaker snowman. While the design is simple, the card has a ton of fun elements to punch it up. I embossed the piece of Whisper White, added more shape to my snowman with the die cut, and added some fun silver and Flirty Flamingo stars. While I live in California (the part where it doesn't snow), the boys and I are spending Christmas at my mom's house in Indiana. And we get some actual snow this year! So to everyone in cold climates, let it snow!

Folded Christmas

This simple Christmas card is made memorable by an interesting folded twist and a big sentiment. Lately I've been seeing a ton of cards that feature folded DSP.

SSINKCC40: Variations of Green

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the colors below.

 

Right away I ran into a bit of a snag. I don't have Sahara Sand ink, but I do have Sahara Sand Cardstock. So I made a bit of a substitution. I kept the Sahara Sand Cardstock as a layering piece, but used Crumb Cake for the trees and Tip Top Taupe for the sentiment. Beyond that, I had fun coloring the leaves on the repeating tree three different green colors to give them more interest. The card felt a little too plan without a pattern paper (the other side of the envelope paper is dots which looked too busy), so I added a bit of gold foil paper peeking out from behind the tree image. Perfect little pop of shine! To finish the card, I added a nice sentiment and a few Flirty Flamingo Enamel Shapes.

• Inks: Crumb Cake; Tip Top Taupe; Old Olive; Pear Pizzazz; Always Artichoke

Washi Tape Reindeer

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite accessories from the Holiday Catalog. Anyone who knows me, knows I love washi tape! It's always on my ordering list for each new catalog. I couldn't resist the super fun and festive Pinecones and Presents Washi Tape set.

 

For my card, I decided to highlight this great accessory without a lot of extra supplies.After adding the sentiment and punched out reindeer, the card was missing that last touch. Thank goodness I had some enamel shapes that matched the color scheme. Perfect!

A Friendly CASE

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from one of the Stampin' Up catalogs. I chose to recreate this fun card:

I love the different colored markers used to make the sentiment. I love the multiple layers of embellishments. So, I pulled out my current SU color markers and picked a fun, but different color combination. I went with Watermelon Wonder; Dapper Denim, and Delightful Dijon. I have to admit that Delightful Dijon isn't one of my favorite colors, but I think it looks really nice with these other two colors. After recreating the sentiment, I had fun pulling papers and embellishments from my stash. My card isn't an exact CASE. I love taking the basic idea of the example card and putting my own touches to it!

Fun n' Crafty Blog Hop November 2016

 

Welcome to the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop for November. This month's theme is Christmas cards. Have you seen the new Stitched Shapes Framelits? They are a great addition to Stampin' Up's framelits. I bought mine last week and they arrived on Monday, just in time for me to use them for today's card. 

For my card, I wanted to go simple but play with shapes and patterns. I layered a couple different patterns from the Warmth and Cheer DSP stack to create my background. From there, I layered some ovals framelits to create the nice center of my card. Note the fun stitching around my sentiment! To finish off the card, I added some metallic thread behind my sentiment and and a few gold enamel shapes.

I chose to CASE this great card from Diana Eichfeld. I always love her cards. She has great attention to the little details in card making! For my CASE, I went a bit more simple, but kept the idea of the layout and layering of DSP. Apparently, I am really digging the purple and blue color combo lately. I've made four different cards using varying shades of purple and blue just this week!

SSINKCS38: Three Foxy Friends

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the sketch below.

 

I decided to make a card full of Foxy Friends. These three cute little friends were then layered onto some coordinating cardstock matching the Moroccan DSP. They came together on the card but something was missing. Thankfully I had some coordinating enamel shapes and washi tape to finish off the card.
