Christmas 2021, Favorite Things Friday /

Wow, there are only 70 days until Christmas, that is just a little over two months! I absolutely love Christmas and one of may favorite holiday decorations is snowmen. They are so stinkin’ cute!

I was super thrilled when Stampin’ Up! decided to carry over the Snowman Season set and these adorable little snow creatures are the star of today’s Favorite Things Friday!

  • Stamp snowmen in Memento Black ink on second piece of 3 ¾ x 5 white panel so they are peeking out the circles.  I used a pencil to lightly draw around each circle so that I would know exactly where to place the snowmen.  Stamp, color and erase your pencil lines.

I really do love the Picture This Dies. I was thinking of creating a card using the Back On Your Feet set. It would make a super sweet get well card. Stay tuned for that in the next few weeks or so. Until than, create something beautiful and be awesome!

Daisy Garden Sympathy Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Get Well & Sympathy /

Happy Friday! I hope you had a blessed week and are ready to do some crafting this weekend. Today, I thought I would share a card I created with one of my favorite background stamps, Daisy Garden. While sending a sympathy card is never fun, it is important to let the people we care about know we are thinking of them and what better way then sending a hand-made card.

This card was stamped in the white craft ink and heat embossed with some white embossing powder. You can find the powder and heat tool on page 128 in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.

Supplies

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

  • Basic Black CS-  5½ x 8½, (card base), 4 x 5¼
  • Basic White CS:4-1/8 x 5-3/8, 4 x 5 ¼,7/8 x 3 ½
  • Daisy Garden Background Stamp
  • White Craft Ink
  • White Embossing Powders
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Heat Tool
  • Stamparatus
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

Directions

  • Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
  • Use the Stamparatus to stamp the Daily Garden image on Basic Black CS with White Craft ink.
  • Cover stamped image with white embossing powder and set with heat tool. Attach to Basic White panel (4-1/8 x 5-3/8) and then attach to card front.
  • On Basic White CS strip, stamp greeting in Memento Black ink and layer to card front.
  • Add 4 x 5¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

I love the look of the white on black and think it is perfect for a Sympathy card. Enjoy the weekend. And don’t forget if you are planning to place an order that is less that $150, please use the host code. You don’t want to miss out on collecting those points for your extra shopping perks.

Fall Squirrel Fun-Favorite Things Friday!

2 Comments / Favorite Things Friday /

Well, if you know me then you are not surprised that Fall is one of my favorite things. I love the changing of all seasons, but nothing beats the beautiful colors God creates in the turning of all the leaves. Today’s card showcases the cute little squirrels in the Nuts about Squirrels set featured in the July-December 2021 mini catalog. I stamped the greetings and the outline of Mr. Squirrel in Early Espresso ink.

I began with a Crumb Cake card base and added a layer of Cherry Cobbler. The acorns are stamped with Crumb Cake and Gray Granite and the squirrel is colored in with the Watercolor Pencils.

I do hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and watching these cute little critters gather acorns for the winter.

Penguin Playmates – Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Paper Crafting Ideas, Sale-a-Bration /

The number one thing on my list when I first got the Sale-a-Bration brochure was the adorable Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper pack and yes, I also have the Penguin Place bundle from the July – December 2021 mini catalog, page 33. I just can’t help myself, I love all things Christmas and most especially cute little Christmas playmates.

This paper is so much fun to cut up and create stinkin’ cute cards! I posted a video on Monday as part of my Make it Monday videos tutorials on how to use the Stitched Rectangles and this adorable paper. Click here if you missed that video. Check out my other videos by using the categories search located in the side bar of each post.

I started with a Soft Seafoam card base and added a layer of trees from the Penguin Playmates Designer Series paper pack. I tore a 3 x 4 panel of Basic White Cardstock in half and layered it on the DSP to resemble snow drifts. I then fussy cut some of the playmates with my Paper Snips and added them to the snow banks. Both greetings are from Evergreen Elegance.

Here is a look at the inside of my card! The white panel measures 4 x 5¼.

Favorite Things Friday-Cutest Halloween

1 Comment / Favorite Things Friday /

Friday’s are one of many favorite things in my life. For one, I am off on Friday’s and if I choose to I can spend the entire day in my craft room. Admittedly after I do so, it sometimes looks like a tornado hit. I am sure that has never happened to you. And two, it is time for another Favorite Things Friday.

Today’s card features the Cutest Halloween set and I chose the adorable kitten faces because felines are another one of my favorite things. Unfortunately we had to put our sweet “Fireball” to sleep a few years ago. It was difficult, but he was 15 years old. So for now the only kittens around here are on cards!

  • Basic White Cardstock-5 ½ x 8 ½ (card base),1½ x 3¾, scrap for kittens
  • Smoky Slate Cardstock- 4 x 5¼

  • Memento Black Ink
  • Smoky Slate Ink
