For Unto Us

December 2020 Pals Blog Hop My Favorite Things!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created projects showing “My Favorite Things” from any of the two current catalogs or the upcoming catalog in January. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My card today features the In the Pines Bundle, the For Unto Us stamp set and the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder.

  • Begin by using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder to create the dry embossed trees on a 4 x 5 ½” piece of thick Whisper White cardstock.
  • Layer and adhere embossed cardstock to a Whisper White card base 5 ½ x 8 ½” (score 8 ½” side at 4 ¼”).
  • Again using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the In the Pines Bundle cut several trees from the Gold Foil Sheets and adhere to the tree embossed layer using Tombow liquid glue. Cut 2 snow drifts from whisper white cardstock, 1 x 5 ½” and layer on the bottom of the card over the trees.
  • Using the Layering Oval Dies, cut a scalloped oval from the Gold Foil Sheets (1 ¾ x 2 ¾”) and a smooth oval from Whisper White cardstock (1 ¾ x 2 ¾”).  Use VersaMark ink to heat emboss the greeting on the white oval with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Adhere the white to the Gold oval and then add to Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Seal.

For the inside greetings I used the saying from the For Unto Us stamp set and the Merry Christmas from the Joy of Sharing All Inclusive Card Kit and heat embossed both greetings using VersaMark ink and the Stampin’ Gold Emboss Powder. For a complete list of supplies, see end of this post.

Christmas Begins with Christ!

Today’s card features the NEW Christmas Classic Designer Series Paper and the For Unto Us Stamp Set. I chose to highlight Shaded Spruce and Cherry Cobbler as my colors. I added some Gold Metallic trim and Red Rhinestones as accents.

Since there are a lot of measurements for this card, I thought it best just to list them so you too can create something fun today. This card would also look great using the Playing with Patterns 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pictured on page 149 of the annual catalog. Perhaps with a birthday theme. I am sure it would have a whole new look!

Measurements/Directions:

  • Card base: Shaded Spruce – 5 ½” x 8 ½”; scored @ 4 ¼” in landscape position
  • Whisper White Cardstock – 3 ¾” x 5”, greeting stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink, Red Rhinestones for greeting
  • Cherry Cobbler Cardstock – 3 ¼” x 3 ½”
  • Classic Christmas 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper 1” x 3” (3); adhere to the Cherry Cobble and then to Whisper White
  • Gold metallic trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack – wrap it around the Cherry Cobbler three times and adhere in the back. Tie a bow and add to the front with glue dot. Adhere to the Whisper White.

For the inside, I layered a piece of Whisper White cardstock, 4 x 5 1/4″ and stamped the greeting in Shaded Spruce This greeting is from the Joy of Sharing All Inclusive Kit featured on page 4 of the Aug-Dec mini catalog. I layered three pieces of the same Christmas Classic Designer Series Paper that I used on the front. Strips measure 1/2 x 4″.

There is still time to add to your Christmas collection, but hurry many of these sets will be retiring, never to return again. Thanks so much for dropping by and if you would like to place an order, please use the Host Code:   9EDAFR74

This host code will be valid through December 12th! Thanks again for shopping with me! Stop back by tomorrow for some more crafting fun. Until then, be Blessed!

Sharing A Season of Miracles

Glory, wonder and miracles is what the Holiday seasons are all about and if you are like me than you love the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I may not be quite ready for our first snow, but I do love fireplace weather, thinking about pumpkin pie and of’ course making my Christmas shopping list. Today’s simple card is again using the Feels Like Frost 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and a little rhinestone bling.

I started with a card base using one of our In-colors, Seaside Spray. I love the softness of this color and to me it reflect the freshly fallen snow in the paper. For a little bolder contrast I stamped the greeting in Night of Navy ink and mounted it on a rectangle of some Whisper White cardstock, then layered that on top of some Seaside Spray measuring 7/8″x 4 7/8″. The greeting is from the For Unto Us set.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful today. Stop by tomorrow for a little more challenging card using the silver patterned side of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper.

First Snow begins with Feels like Frost!

Today’s card was created using the Feels Like Frost 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I love this beautiful printed paper and how easy it is to create an elegant card in just a few minutes. I began with a Night of Navy card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Feels Like Frost paper, stamped the greeting from the For Unto Us stamp set in Night of Navy ink and added a little bling using our basic jeweled rhinestones. It truly was that simple.

One tip to keep in mind when using this printed paper is to pay attention to the pattern or image when you cut so the image is in the correct orientation. This was such a simple card and it literally took only a few minutes to create. I think the hardest part was trying to decide which sentiment to use from the For Unto Us set because I love them all. LOL

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join me tomorrow for another super simple creation using our Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. Feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to know what you think! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.

Tis the Season….well Almost!

Yes, that is right folks…..the weather is getting cooler here in St. Louis and while Halloween is just around the corner, it is time to think about planning out your Christmas Cards. There are just 76 days until Christmas. It is not time to break out the decorations just yet, but I think now more than ever we all need a little holiday cheer and we definitely need to bring back the tradition of mailing out Christmas cards. What could be better than receiving a homemade card in the mail….gotta love it!

Here are a few cards that I created using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and the For Unto Us stamp set. Hope you enjoy. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!
